Bear Lake

We made a trip to Bear Lake a few weekends ago. My parents have a little beach house there. We had a good time with Nana & Papa, Brian & Brooke and kids, and Amy and kids. Sam wasn't able to make because he was on call. We missed him, but had a good time anyways.

Gone Fishin'

Sam was lucky enough to have this past week off. We stayed in SLC for the first half of the week and accomplished tasks such as going to dentist, getting our truck serviced, etc. For the second half of the week we made a trip to Wyoming. Josie was able to enjoy a fun outing fishing.

Will and I stayed home, I think he enjoyed a day without a blonde haired little girl in his face. My sister took some really cute photos of him, but they are all on her camera. (Hey Amy, will you put those on Snapfish or email them to me?)

Can you see the light yet?!

Congratulations to my dear husband! He has offically completed his intern year of residency! He is no longer a 1st year resident and has moved on and up to his 2nd year. Only four years to go, and then a year of fellowship, and then . . . (will you ever get a job?)!

Princesses and Doctors

So my Josie girl is so in the princess mode! She loves to dress up and most days you can find her in a dress, heels, and a tiara. The other day I was looking at a princess book with her and she pointed to the prince and said "Look what a cute daddy!" What and I going to do with this girl?!

She also watched me make some Jello instant pudding and when she tasted it she said "Yum! Your a good maker mom."

Will had his well child check-up yesterday, he is generally a pretty easy going kid. Well, they gave him the oral rotavirus vaccine and he went bonkers! I have never seen him that mad, even the nurse said she had never seen a kids face get so red. He fell asleep after the other shots and woke up 3 hours later still mad. I finally got him to calm down and he went back asleep. He woke up 3o minutes later happy as can be. He seems to be a lot like his day, happy and easy going most of the time, but if something makes him mad, it makes him really mad!

What am I supposed to write?

Sometimes I just don't know what to write. I love reading every one's blogs, but often feel like I don't really have anything exciting to say. BUT, I decided to give it a try anyways! Things have been going pretty well here in Utah.

The first two months were awful as Sam was on call almost every other night. But this month has been bliss, radiology. Are you sure you don't want to go into that Sam?! We have got to eat dinner as a family, go on family walks, and enjoy sacrament meeting together (meaning Sam is able to help with a rambunctious 2 year old).

We are in a great little community and I have already met some great friends. Josie has a new best friend (although she still talks about her Seattle friend Gabriella) and we have enjoyed weekly zoo, museum, and park trips.

I LOVE having my sister only 7 miles away, and it has been a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better. She is ten years older than me and I really don't remember her much growing up, and we have never lived close before. We have done fun sisterly activities like lunch, shopping, etc. It has been so fun to get to know her more as a friend.

We have also enjoyed many visits home to grandparents and it is so great to be close. I has included some photos of our most recent trip home to Wyoming visiting Grandma and Grandpa's "farm".

Basically, my heart is very full! I truly feel like Sam and I are in the right place at the right time. It's amazing how things just "work out" and things fall into place at the right time.
