Dr. Greydon Scott

With me being so sick lately I have gotten a lot of doctor check ups from Dr. Greydon. He loves to get out his doctor kit and check me out. I think he is the sweetest thing in the world. This particular day was a rough one since I had to spend the afternoon on an IV and was not able to make it to a good friend’s farewell party that evening. Grey sure did lift my spirits with his precious check up and kind words.

Island Park

We have been looking forward to our trip to Island Park all summer long. We rented a cabin with our friends the Conroy’s, Galer’s and Whitney’s. The cabin was really nice. Our first day there we floated the river and it took several hours. Greydon just loved it!  We saw fish, a Moose and one of the Whitney boys caught a frog too.

Unfortunately I started getting sick and had to go home early. However, Grey and Darin stayed and go to go fishing, boating and play at the local park. They did not take as many pictures as I would have liked, but at least they got a few.

Greydon's 3rd Birthday

July 18^th was Greydon’s 3^rd birthday. We celebrated with a party for him at the North Shore Aquatic center with all of his cousins and some of his friends. It was such a great time and everyone really enjoyed themselves.  Greydon loved helping me make his Mickey Mouse themed cupcakes and putting together goodie bags for all of the kids. We swam for hours and then indulged in pizza, cupcakes and presents. He was spoiled rotten as always. I told Darin that is one perk for him being an only child, he gets all of the attention at our house and pretty much gets everything he wants. I may be creating a monster but the kid is so cute I just can’t help it =)

Check out this awesome Fire Station Grey got from my mom and James. It is unbelievable. It is so detailed and very durable and heavy. Greydon just loves it!

Happy Birthday Greydon! We love you so much! Cake face and all.

4th of July

  

We went to the North Ogden Parade for the 4^th of July. Greydon loved all of the loud sirens and the horses. We were able to sit by our neighbors whose little girl McKinley is Grey’s good friend.  The two of them had so much fun collecting candy and watching all of the floats. Grey’s cousin John was on a float with his Karate class and he thought it was SO neat to see his cousin on a float.

A Bike Ride

Darin and I decided we were going to make a healthy life change and start riding bicycles for entertainment and exercise.   Darin got a new bike and I cleaned up the one I got when I was 11. Believe it or not it still works great. We bought a bike trailer to pull Grey around in too. We took our first bicycle voyage and insisted that Papa Marlowe and Uncle Jaret get their old bikes dusted off and join us. It was a blast! There were a few times I thought one of us might die, but we all survived and make it to a yummy brunch at Slack Water in Ogden.

Iberostar Maya, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Darin and I took a 7 day vacation to Mexico to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We stayed at a beautiful 5 star resort called the Iberostar Maya. It was all inclusive with tons of food, drinks and activities.  On our first night of arrival I got really sick. I tried to be a good sport but found myself in the hotel room in survival mode for the first 3 days of the trip. It was definitely a bummer, but Darin was able to have enough fun for two on those days. I started feeling better just in time for him to start feeling a little sick himself. Needless to say we did have a wonderful vacation. We weren’t able to leave the resort or go on any excursions because we were ill, but we were able to lay by the ocean, play in the pool, sleep in and take long naps every day.  I think we will say in the United States the next time we vacation.

...5 Years...

Darin and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on June 9^th.  We had already planned a trip to Playa Del Carmen Mexico so we were not supposed to do gifts. However I can never resist. I had a photographer help me create this beautiful picture for him. It’s a little sentimental but I felt that 5 years was our first mile stone of many to come.  It has the date we met, the date he proposed, our wedding date, the day our son was born, our 5 year anniversary date and then our 50 year anniversary date. I joked with him that this was my contract and I'm a free agent after 50 years.
