My piano!

So Jake and I have been looking for over a year for a piano. We actually got his Grandma MGhies when she passed away but because of logistics, it just didn't make sense to ship it out here. We have been looking and thinking and nothing seemed to work out. Well, while I was in Utah some friends said they were getting rid of their piano since all their kids were grown and would we want theirs? Hello!!!! Yes we would!! Such an answers to prayers! Jake found this all out while I was gone and had it moved to our house and when I arrived home there it was in our living room as a suprise!~ The kids were soooo excited for me to come in the house and see it! We have already had so much fun plunking away on it. Today I found Raegan some easy music and she is happily trying to master it. Such a fun thing for our family and a great way for me to destress. I took piano as a little kid but quit because I didn't love it and have regretted it so I am happily reteaching myself and so far it has been great!!

Fishing vidoes--see previous post

Summer Utah pictures

We have been having lots of fun with our family in Utah. We have been fishing, going to rodeos, going to cheer camps, and Logan is taking swimming lessons. Most of all we have had fun seeing all our grandparents and aunts and uncles. Aplanalp grandparents


My kids love to torment my parents cats.


Playing laser tag and then Raegan played "Deal or No deal" and won the jackpot of 200 tickets. She was so excited! I need to get that girl and her luck on a game show!



Fishing with Grandma Jeppesen. We went to a pond that was stocked with hunderds of fish and Logan loved it. Raegan had a love hate relationship and Brielle didn't really care. The kids got a rod that didn't even have a reel and a hook with a square piece of leather on it and once you dropped the line in, you got a fish. Logan was brave and picked them us, the rest of us don't like touching fish. Thank goodness Grandma Jeppesen was there to dehook the fish for us! I am a wimp I remembered!




All of our fish we caught! Raegan had been to a camp where they painted her face as a cat.


Logan and his fish


Church with the kitty


I love this crazy pose of Logan being a pirate


We went to temple square when Jake was still here and enjoyed walking the grounds in the summer. We usually go there at Christmas so it was a nice change. The flowers were beautiful of course!
