Grandma's funeral

This last couple of weeks has been kinda rough for Jeremy and his family. His Grandma (his mom's mom) passed away after almost a week in intensive care. Jeremy was asked to play the piano at the memorial service, and during the conversation somehow volunteered me to sing a solo while he played the piano!!!! I love to sing and have done a lot of it in my life time, but I have NEVER sung a solo in my life, and was sooooo nervous! But I knew it would mean a lot to him if I did it! We had two days to practice, and he is amazing! He practiced every free minute he had and learned the song well enough to accompany me! I was so nervous! For some reason when I sing I get so nervous in front of people that my throat swells and I shake so bad my knee caps shake! Needless to say we prayed really hard that we would be able to perform the musical number, and not cause more pain in the process. And good news..... it worked! It went pretty well all things considered! Not that I would like to do it again, but my first experience definately wasn't as bad as I had imagined.
After the memorial service we went to Jeremy's uncles house and had a bbq and chatted with the family. It was a lot of fun, and I ejoyed getting to know more of Jeremy's family. Thanks for making me feel so welcome in your family!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July! We started the day with breakfast with Grandpa Lehman. A yearly tradition. Then Jeremy, my dad and I all went four wheeling up to Old Ephraims grave. It was a blast, but there were a lot of people up there, and as you can see we were all eating each others dust! After that we went to Great Grand aunt Charlottes house for a party. Jeremy jumped in the pool, and splashed the rest of us standing outside the pool. We played frisbee golf which Jeremy won the mens prize and I won the womens prize! Horse shoes was another option. Then it was time for the bbq. After we ate everyone gathered for the waterballoon volleyball which eventually turned into a huge water fight that ended with the guys all throwing each other into the pool. Excluding Jason!!! For some reason they couldn't get him off the ground! I wish I had a picture! Then there was the red white and blue dessert contest.... and thanks to the jello cake strawberries and blueberrys, and everyone that voted for me, I won! And there was some stiff competition! Then to top off the night we lit legal fireworks, and watched the neighbors not so legal ones! We had a blast!

Softball

Jeremy's favorite summer sport is softball. He is on three different teams right now, two co-ed teams and one mens league! On the co-ed teams he is not allowed to hit home runs, which at times has been a struggle for him! It is really fun to watch him play. He would really like to get on a competitive team for the fall and maybe play in some all night softball competitions! Good luck babe...keep up the good playin! Love ya!

Trek

The day after we got back from Redmond we had the opportunity to go on the pioneer trek in Wyoming with my parents ward. It was an amazing experience, and made the sacrifice that the pioneers made so much more real. We put up tents in the wind, had no flushing toilets, or running water for four days. We pulled handcarts for three days straight. We had the opportunity to go into Martins Cove, participate in two river crossings, and do the Womens pull. And helped cook meals for everyone there.
Thank you mom and dad for inviting us to come with you! It is an experience we will never forget!

Introducing Redmond

Jeremy finally took me down to where he grew up! Redmond Utah....the middle of no where! When we got there we went down to jjwd's. Its a store down there that kinda has everything. Come to find out, someone opened a registry for us there, so we went to check it out. We ended up finding a griddle. Then we drove around the town and they pointed out different places, and homes where people live that they grew up with. Then it was back home for a bbq with his family for fathers day. The next morning Jeremy's dad woke us up at 7:30 a.m. because the hot air balloons were over the lake. Once a year they do a fly over the redmond lake and it happened to be while we were there. It was really cool to watch them rise over the lake and float around. One landed right across the street!
Then it was time for church, where the bishop got up and had to explain that he bought chewing tobacco because he had a recipe for killing squash bugs and it called for chewing tobacco. Rumors spread like wildfire in a small town!
Then it was time for some shooting. The guys had a great time, and I even got a couple shots in! I even hit one of the clay pigeons...total luck!
We had a blast and it was really fun to see that part of Jeremy!

Jeremy and I decided that we needed new sunglasses and these were a perfect fit! Just kidding, we definately have better taste than that! Mom and Dad took the whole family to see the movie UP in 3D. It was a blast and is such a good movie....a must have if you ask us! It was fun to watch my niece's and nephew's trying to figure out how the glasses made the movie come right off the screen!

Our first Garden
