Well here is my update! I am sorry it has been so long!
Lets start with #2: We bought our First car! It's a Mazda Tribute!!! We are so excited, First cause we have a second car and second cause it's a big expense and milestone that we did together!
#3. We had Skyler's Birthday at my moms clubhouse in Saratoga Springs, It was really stressful getting everything ready! I think one because of communication between my mom and us. But we had it (changed the time two days before) but still we had it and it went great and was a lot of fun! I can't believe Skyler is ONE!
#6. I had a surprise party for Clint on Friday! I think he knew because he didn't act very surprise but he denies it! It was a lot of fun! Carmen, Ryan, Jamie, Squire, and Taylor all came to celebrate with us! Thanks so much for coming y'all!!!
#4. YES, I still haven't got my license we even already bought a second car. In Utah you have to go to drivers ed and its like $300! But I take my final driving test today then have my final behind the wheel tomorrow. As long as I pass my test today I will be a license driver on WEDNESDAY MORNING!!! WHOO HOO!
#5. For mothers day Clint made me chicken Marsala & garlic mashed potatoes! It was so yummy!!! What a sweet husband! My mom and my sisters came over to eat with us! Thanks babe for making treating me like your princess for mothers day!
#7. We hiked the Y for the first time! It was so fun! We left at about 7pm so we were able to look over provo for about 20 minutes then we were able to see the sunset. We sat up at the Y for about 15 minutes until the sun set almost all the way. Then we hiked back down. It takes about 1 hour to hike up and 30 minutes to hike down!

I will start posting pictures of all the fun activities we have been doing!!!

FIRST

Skyler loved getting his hair cut because he loved looking straight in the mirror... this first picture has to be my favorite because it reminds me of Clint's when he is thinking "I look good" :-)

A JOURNEY...
It is so fun getting watching Skyler do all the "first" things! Through the past year you have ate rice cereal, ate baby food, learned to sleep through the night, rolled, went swimming, crawled, danced, laughed, smiled, first Christmas, first tooth, FIRST HAIRCUT! & much much more! I can't believe your about to be one Skyler! I love you!

Skyler is getting so big! He is 10 1/2 months old. We are enjoying family time more and more. One of our favorite activities to do as a family is taking Skyler to the park. Our favorite park is right next to the Provo river. We love going on long walks after playing with Sky on the playground next to the river. Skyler loves looking at the water. It is a nice exercise and a great time for Clint and I to talk. Sunday we went for a 2 hour walk. With my camera I was able to capture priceless moments playing with Skyler at the park. I am really growing a passion for photography. Here are some of my shoots.

Utah County Food Co-op!

Growing up my family always loved to make fresh homemade salsa. Now that we are grown up and have our own families we have realized how expensive it can be. To make a large bowl it cost about $20.00.

So when your tight on money buying the produce to make homemade salsa isn't the first thing on your grocery list.

My sister Torrie lives in Texas and has recently joined a Farmers Market co-op. She called me bragging about how much produce she got for the price and how yummy it all was.

Fruits and Vegetables in general are so expensive to buy at the store. I love them and I could eat meat like once a week and just fruits and vegetables the rest of the time.

So my mission is to find a great food co-op in the Utah County area! Can anyone help?
I found a website called The Community Food Co-op of Utah; here is the website
http://www.crossroads-u-c.org/cfc/the_food/the_food.html
Has anyone ever used it? You have to put your order in by March 13th!
I need your help and take on it before I join!! Or if there is a better one that anyone knows of! It is for the health of my family! ;-)
