Winner, winner, pizza, dinner

Jordan won tickets at work to Organ stop pizza for a free lunch on Saturday.  It was really fun.  We invited some of Jordan's coworkers Ruth, Tim and their son Chris to come with us.  

The organ is an old theater organ, the largest in the world! 

It has over 6000 pipes and percussion's.  

 The organist played all different types of music: Phantom of the Opera, Classical, The little mermaid, Star Wars, Mission Impossible and more.

 

I was talking to Ruth about how lucky Jordan seems to be and how he always wins drawings at work. As we are talking they call Jordan's name saying that he had just won a random drawing for a CD of the organist's most requested songs!  It was hilarious! 

One of the things that I love about all the free events that Jordan wins at work is that it takes us to places that we would have never chosen to go to on our own.  When we think of pizza we would have never thought about Organ stop pizza but now that we have gone and had such a good time we would love to go back.   

Fossil Springs

This weekend we had planned a camping trip to fossil springs with Brad and Lindsey. 

Friday night came around and we decided that camping might be a lot of work for overnight so Jordan and I drove to Brad's house on Friday instead and we all made waffles, french toast and bacon for dinner.  We then helped Lindsey finish a project she was working on for church and watched a movie.

Jordan and I stayed the night at Brad's house and got up early Saturday morning, picked up Lindsey and headed to fossil springs.  We drove two hours to Payson and then on what seemed like a never ending bumpy dirt road to get to the trail head. 

It was a short mile hike in. 

Lindsey and I watched these cute families with their kids hiking in with us and we talked about how fun it will be to hike in together with our kids to fossil springs one day.  I love moments like that, that remind us about how eternal our families and friendships can be.

We only stayed until about noon and then hiked out. 

There were a lot of people there, not a lot of shore to just layout and relax and many of the people there were drinking and smoking.  Which normally would not bother me too much but trying to get pregnant  and being around second hand smoke made me really uncomfortable.  

We still had a lot of fun. Brad and Lindsey are officially engaged!  We spent a lot of time talking about how Brad proposed, their wedding plans and how excited we are for them.  

               Jordan and I drove home exhausted from playing in the sun all day.  We made dinner, watched a movie and went to bed early. 

It was a great day. 

Our Fourth of July weekends

Jordan, his Dad and brother Logan planned a five day trip to the Grand Canyon and Toroweap, a remote area in the north rim with an amazing overlook of the canyon.  A weekend of hiking, photography and camping. 

I originally had to work on the fourth so I decided to stay home and skip the Grand Canyon trip. Then at the last minute they gave us Monday off.  I talked to Jordan, talked to my family and decided to go to Boise!  I booked a last minute flight and was able to go from Friday through Monday.  It was a very quick trip but I loved seeing everyone and getting to meet Maya!        

Ella was adorable.  She would not leave my side and said that her favorite part of the day was when I came to visit.  So cute!

 Maya is such a good baby and really funny.  She doesn't 'talk' a lot but she has the biggest smiles and little giggles. She rolls everywhere and bounces around the room.  Its hilarious.  I secretly tried to teach her how to crawl when Caitlin and Ryan were out of the room.  She is soo close. 

 Kresimir gave me the biggest hug when he saw me and we spent Sunday making sugar cookies together.  He loved cutting out the stars for the fourth of July BBQ and wanted so badly to just sit and eat the dough.

 

 Playing in the dirt.

 Beckham got so big!!  He went from a toddler to a little boy!!  I didn't fully understand how much he loves sports.  It was so funny.  He was constantly kicking, throwing and carrying around every ball he could find. 

Kylee is so cute pregnant and I felt baby girl Sayer kick!!  I cant wait to meet her!

The trip was very short but so worth it!  I had so much fun with my family.  I wanted to stay longer but will see them next month for Maya's sealing.   

I loved my weekend in Boise!!
