Who's in the dog house.....

You can't see any of them, but there are 3 crazy kids in there having a good time. This was brad's project for the last week and it turned out so good. He is so amazing! He built this for Sam and Tripp (our dogs) so they had a place to go hang out. He has always wanted to build a dog house, so now he can check it off his list. Now for another cool picnic table he built in Arizona. I want one here at this house!

Shucking Corn

The kids had a good time the other day shucking the corn for dinner. This was Ava's first time and it was cute to see her watching the other kids to see how to do it.

Ava is saying "my precious" to her corn!

Don't Forget the Fireworks...

We went to a park in Orem/Provo area to watch the Stadium of Fire Fireworks at BYU. The people around us had bought a lot of their own fireworks so we got to see many shows through out the night. Gary and Tara brought sparklers and snaps for the kids to do, It was fun.

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Fourth of July BBQ

There is a really nice picnic area up the Hobble Creek Canyon where we went this past weekend.
Great weather, Good Company, A lot of Fun!!!!

Good News

Gary (Brads brother) and Tara (his wife) came up for the fourth of July Weekend to visit with everyone. Friday night we went up in the canyon and had a picnic (pre fourth celebration) and played some games. We were wrapping up the night activities when Gary announced he had some "firecrackers" to use up. So we gather around the table and everyone got one of these cute firecrackers Tara made.........

We counted to 3 and pulled on the ends and Starburst candies came flying out of the firecrackers and the kids went wild collecting them. Then one person read the paper, another saw the picture and we all went crazy! It was a very fun way to announce they were having a baby! Congratulations Gary and Tara. We love you!

Manti Miracle Pageant

Last week we went to Manti to see the Miracle Pageant that is performed on the hill by the temple. It is the story of Joseph Smith finding the golden plates, the first vision, pioneers crossing the planes, and some stories from the book of mormon. It didn't start until 9:30pm so we didn't know how well the kids would do. Corbin lasted 30 minutes and was out by 10 and Ava was doing good, but fell asleep a little after Corbin. Alyssa and Addison did good and stayed awake the whole time, but didn't quite understand what was going on in the pageant at times. All in All we all had a great time. The kids met Brigham Yound, Joseph Smith, Angel Moroni, Samuel the Lamanite (two of them) and one of the preachers. They were like celebrities to the kids it was fun. The guy who played Joseph Smith signed their pictures of Jesus for them with his autograph it was cute.

Happy Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 8th year of marriage. We had a wonderful normal day at the Fears home and at work and then Brad and I went to the movies. Thanks for some great years Brad, can't wait for more to come. Love ya babe!

Manti Temple

Here are a few shots I got of the Temple while we were there last week. It is such a beautiful Temple and location you are just in awe every time you see it. The last picture is the temple in the dark when it is lit up at the end of the pageant....so pretty.
