This weekend we had my friend Erica practice her photography on us! Above is one of the ones she took! Isn't it awesome?! Stay tuned, there will be more to come...

Goodbye Summertime :(

At the beginning of the summer Dave and I made a list of fun activities to do. Last summer I was so busy with working the two jobs I had, we didn't really do anything. Our list was- Lagoon, Camping, Drive-in movie, Bear Lake, Four-Wheeling, Hike wind caves, Seven Peaks, Go up Mt. Logan, Porcupine Dam. Sad to say we did less than half. So on with the few weeks of fall and then the season I hate the most...Winter. Here's a few fun pics!

Goodbye Grandpa Elwood

This post is in memory of Norman Elwood who died on August 17, 2009. I just wanted to take a minute to reminisce on all the wonderful memories that I shared with my Grandpa. I won't write them all because that would take a while, but I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the time that I got to spend with him here on the Earth. I remember the times that we would go fishing with just the boys, and grandpa was there to encourage/tease me while I was reeling in the fish. Also, the times that we went hunting and I got to ride in the back of the truck when I was little. Even all the trips up to Idaho to help with one project or another, but we were always rewarded with a bunch of jerky, a can of pop, and an occasional 4-wheeler ride. Lots of good memories! Well, I love you Grandpa and I'll miss you but I know that we'll see you again.-Dave

I just wanted to add on to this post. Grandpa Elwood was a tease and charmer, I met him for the first time after a few months of dating Dave. He had recently had a stroke and was bed ridden. You would think that someone would be down on themselves for that position they were in...but not Grandpa. He was always telling jokes and offering us jerky, and all sorts of little goodies. And he always wanted a hug when I left, (he would even slip in a little kiss on the cheek). I grew to love him even though I didn't know him that well, and he made me feel apart of the Elwood family. While at his funeral I learned alot about him, and I also learned that Dave is alot like him. I always knew Dave and Grandpa were close, I could tell how much Dave loved him. Now I know why. I will miss visiting him, but I'll be glad when I can see him again. -Angie

New Family Member!

Yesterday all the Elwood girls put together a bridal shower for Aaron's bride to be Holly Isakson! It was a lot of fun being with family and hearing interesting conversation....especially the older ladies....(wink, wink). But we are excited to have Holly join the fam. Aaron and Holly are so cute together, and they are so in LOVE! Afterwards we all went to the Martin Harris Pageant. It was really cold, but I had fun reading the history of Martin Harris. I'm so glad Dave's family is always doing things together and for each other. I am so glad I married into the Elwood family! Here are some pics....

I LUV BEAR LAKE!

Yesterday Dave and I drove over to bear lake. I was really excited to get a good tan, and swim like the little fish we are.....NOT! I actually ended up in my hoodie and towel most of the day. :( Dave braved the cold though, as always. We also made a cute sand alligator! A little boy near by came and started playing with it, so it only lasted a few minutes. We left a little earlier than planned, but we stopped at LaBeaus for a burger, what a great tradition we can continue each year! Bear Lake and LaBeaus! Oh the memories! Enjoy these pics....

Read the Ensign!!!

The past few weeks I've thought a lot about going to college. My plan in High School was to go to beauty school, then find a hairstylist job that would help pay my way through college. Well, that never all happened, and I wish I would've gone. I'm still young and I think it's a smart idea. I don't know what the future holds, Dave could lose his job and we would need me to work. Another thing lately is, facebook, X-box, and other things. Dave and I come home and check all our online things and or play games, and it's such a waste of time. It is really addicting. A few days ago we received our August Ensign! And There was a section that talks about computer addictions, and then the Relief Society message talked about continuing your education- not only in the Gospel, but in life. Heavenly Father really knows what we are in need of. He leaves little hints in our lives to help us out. I'm so thankful for all that I have. Even if it's just a little. I will hopefully go to college one day. And I'm working on the computer thing!

BIRTHDAY!!!

This last weekend was my birthday and it was very relaxing. We drove down to Pleasant Grove to stay with my brother and sister in law. We went out to eat at PF Changs, Dave had never been there, but it is one of my favorites! My brother works for Daily Bread, which is a food storage company. They sell food that will last for 25 years! They had a booth at the American Fork Steel Days, and car show. So we hung out there for a while, and it was like 105 degrees! We came back home for the weekend and on my birthday Dave woke me up with breakfast in bed, and we went to Porcupine Dam and swam for a bit. He then surprised me later with a pinata shaped like a shoe, because I have a shoe obsession...most girls do. :) I was definitely amused on my birthday, and it was full of surprises and relaxation! Thanks to all that made it great!!

4th of July!

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday and I had a blast this weekend! We had over Daves little brother and his fiance Holly, and His friend Geoff and his wife Megan for the fireworks. Logan does a good job with the firework show. We did lots of fun, yet crazy things to keep us occupied before and after the show. We did shake face pictures, hands up stands up, and random things. Then on saturday morning we were in charge of our webelos to help out at the scout breakfast. They did not want to help. It was like pulling teeth to have them wipe a table down or dump a garbage. Then we went with some of my work friends to float down the canal. Brrr was it cold, but there was so much scenery to look at as well. Then we went to the car show, those of you who don't know, Dave is a car lover, so he was all smiles at the Cruise in. We had an eventful weekend!
