I tried to fix it for a week after getting really frustrated I decided to start a new blog its http://thegledhillstories.blogspot.com unique name huh! I tried to keep it similar. Hopefully I won’t mess this one up!

Cousin Week! Carter had so much fun playing with all of his cousins. This rarely happens for him but he loves it. Rochelle had a layover in Salt Lake and we all got together and met at Grandma and Grandpa's. We played games and ate delicious Cafe Rio. I wish it was a more frequent occurrence but we enjoy every chance we have to get together with our wonderful family. Our little gang of Gledhill Boys are going to such good friends. Watch out ladies they are going to be some handsome young men!~

We also had a fun time taking some Spring Pictures with Holly. We had a cute little baby duck, lamb and chick. I can't wait to see the pictures. Holly always does an amazing job. (This picture is just one I took for the blog) ((If you obviously can't tell)) I'll add some of the pictures Holly took later.

Happy 30th Birthday to Stacey. We had a great day celebrating Stacey's big day! She is a great sister in law and so much fun to be with. Just a few things about her: She is gifted in interior decorating, she knows how to have fun, she is a wonderful mom to her little boy Lincoln and she is also a wonderful friend the kind that really cares about how you are and makes and effort to be a good friend. I am lucky to have her as friend and even more lucky to have her as a sister in law. We spent the day bowling and eating a scrumptious BBQ dinner and watching the new Star Trek Movie which I surprisingly enjoyed. (I'm not a Trekie)
Also Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom and mother in law. They both are such wonderful Mom's and Grandma's. They have the qualities that I want to strive to have as a mother. I enjoy them so much. Thanks for all that you do.

Kaela's wedding

2009-05-03T20:16:00.000-07:00

Spring is such a great time for a wedding and St George is gorgeous place for a wedding in the Spring. Brett's cousin Kaela got married on Saturday in the St George temple. It was a gorgeous day with lots of family, fun and good food! We traveled down to Enoch with LaRell and Karen and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Grimshaw. During the night Brett had a flashlight and kept showing me all the spiders above our head as we were trying to sleep. I HATE spiders so it was a little bit of a restless night! We enjoyed the day and are very happy for Kaela and Jeremy. I was also able to go to Women's Conference with my mom and Grandma Bonnie. It was such an uplifting experience. We enjoyed listening to some very spiritual speakers that were very enlightening! It was a wonderful experience and a much needed break. Brett was such a sweetheart and watched Carter for me. He really enjoys his one on one time with Carter and I am very grateful for the getaway.

Fun, Family and Washington D.C.

This week was such a fun and memorable week. We were able to visit Johne, Rochelle, Jack and Nate. We spent a the first few days just playing with the kids and watching movies in their amazing theater room. (It's better than any movie theater I have ever been in.)

The weather was perfect on Thursday so we went into Washington D.C. We saw so many great sights. Brett enjoyed the Air and Space Smithsonian and Carter loved the animals in the Natural History Museum he loved the Bee Exhibit where live bees were busy working in their hive. My favorite was the Lincoln Memorial. We could have spent another week and not seen it all.

The next day was a fun day at beautiful Monticello. The flowers were all out and the gardens were just starting to sprout. Carter ran all over and had so much fun playing in the dirt and following his dad and Grandpa. The last day was just a lazy day at Johne and Rochelle's house. We took the kids to the park and relaxed. We ended the day with an yummy BBQ. I think everybody has a bath time photo like this.

The flight home was interesting. We had to get up at four to catch our flight but when we got there the plane was to "Stinky" to board so we left an hour late making us miss our layover in New York so we spent an extra six hours at the airport. FUN!FUN! It made for a really long day but all in all it was a wonderful trip. I have to say thanks to Karen and LaRell for helping with Carter he loves you guys so much. You made it a lot easier on Brett and I. Thanks to Rochelle for the AMAZING food you are an excellent cook. I still want those recipes. Thanks to Johne for the awesome movies and all the fun. Oh and thanks for getting up so early to drive us to the airport. It was a great trip and we will enjoy the fun memories forever.

First Time Blogging

2009-04-10T20:19:00.000-07:00

This is my first attempt at blogging so I hope you enjoy. We have enjoyed looking at our friends and families blogs and all their fun pictures and adventures that they have. I also think blogging will help me take more memorable pictures of my family. Carter grows up so quick and I can't believe how many fun picture opportunities I have all ready missed. This week Carter was able to attend a very WINDY Easter Egg Hunt. He figured it out fast I told him it was time to pick up candy like we pick up toys and he went to town. We are also getting ready to go visit Brett's Brother Johne and his family who lives by Washington D.C. They have two adorable little boys that Carter will get to play with. Brett is excited to visit his tech savvy brother and play with his toys and I am looking forward to spending time with my sister in law that is so fun to be with. We are lucky to be traveling with Karen and LaRell they are the best in-laws I could ask for. It will be nice to have help on the plane for Carter's first flight. So look forward for the next post about our fun trip.
