Softball playing... Mountain exploring... throw in a little sheep action and its been a busy summer :)

OH BOY!!!! Has the summer flown by too quickly? or is it just me? Mark & I have had a pretty fun filled summer and it has passed way too quickly for our liking. In a few weeks we'll be moving out of the honeymoon suite (the basement bedroom in Tony & Carilyn's home)and into our own cozy apartment in laramie. We've enjoyed being here for the summer but we are ready to leave the nest, spread our wings, oh ya not to mention school Blah ;)
For the past couple of weeks we have been pretty busy working, playing, exploring, and taking time to sit back and relax. The twenty fourth celebration in Lyman is a pretty deal ;) We took in all the fun in the sun we could handle, starting out the morning with a spectacular parade, enjoying a BBQ at the park, and participating in five softball games (four which were back 2 back). Friday night we played a game and we lost but we stil went on to saturday's tournament. We played one game after lunch which we won and move on to a second right after loosing but just a few points, then we won another and lost one more. All in all we were good sports, took 3rd, and came home with some pretty mean sunburns. That night we enjoyed the buckin, chasin, wranglin excitment of the Lyman rodeo. It was more of a redneck rodeo with goat chasin, cow sortin, bunny catchin, and chickin tacklin.. it was a load of fun to watch. The last even is Bronc Ridin which is a good ol' time- only one of the horses died after he snapped his neck on the fence- sad day :( Gotta love a small town celebration.. not to mention the cotton candy ;)
We taught the three year olds in primary this last week and oh boy was that some real cheap birth control. It was fun but i was totally worn out by the time sacrament meeting came :) After church we took Abby (this adorable little red head- Kylie's neice) to see tyson's sheep down at the Blumel's. She enjoyed that thoroughly enough, she even got to see a big buffalo (at the buffalo farm) getting a piggy back ride from a momma buffalo -we'll leave this one to the parents ;)



Monday evening Chad and Neshia Blumel and Mark and I headed up to the Unita Mts for FHE. We cooked hamburgers and made some dutch oven peach cobbler YUMM! Then we carved our initials in the aspen trees. After a beautiful walk and way too many cherries we headed back to lyman.

I've spent the last two fridays on my day off baby sitting the Lamberti kids that are in our ward. Lilly is very helpful and Brighten is just a handful... once again cheap birth control.

Little Tazmanian Devil Brighten :)
Melissa sent us pictures of our little neice to be! The Dr. told her that the baby is alright it is just really super tiny so that is just the greatest news we've heard lately! The Dr. keeps telling her each visit that another thing is wrong and its so sad. We know Heavenly Father is watching over our little neice we can't wait till November (or whenever it is the time keeps changing each time i check ) :)
Here are some untrasound pictures







Its been a crazy short summer, Yesterday was the two month mark of our marriage. Its so crazy cuz it doesn't even seem like we've been married more than a few weeks. We enjoy married life and look forward to many more months & years ahead.

Birthday & Softball

For my birthday last weekend we all went down to Utah. Samantha came up from laramie and came and spent the weekend with the Gillies family. We went to Park City outlet malls and shopped for school clothes for a few hours. Then we headed to provo to chech into our hotel. We spent the rest of the day at Seven Peaks water park SOOO MUCH FUN! We went on alot of the slides.. some were very scary at first like the boomarang- a half pipe thriller and others were just a slight adrenaline rush. Lots of screams, whoo-hoos, and yelps. I even think i lost my breath and almost hyperventilated on the boomarang because i was screaming so bad.... all in all it wasn't as bad as i thought and Mark sure got a kick out of it (as well as everyon else at the park :) i always had a good set of lungs. We all got to catch some rays, ride the waves, and spend a very enjoyable day together.
Sunday we went to Orem to church because Mark's mission president (President Brady) and his wife had jsut returned from the Carlsbad California mission. We went and saw a few of his companions and alot of the missionaries whom he had served around. It was fun to see the people Mark spent two years with serving the Lord.
Last night Mark and I played in a co-ed soft ball game in Mt. View which was alot of fun. We won! by a long shot.. and i even scored! Whoo hoo! I havn't really played that much softball except out intermural team last spring so i had some good coaches during the game. We will be playing on that team every tuesday and thursday for the rest of the summer :) <3

Most Recent Happenings In Our Life

I'm kinda getting behind on all this blog posting stuff :) what with working ten hours a day and just being plain tired come friday i should really post. So here is the most recent happening in our little life.
A few weeks back we all went to the unita mountains to bridger lake for the weekend. We fished, had dutch oven, raced the kayacks (almost tipped them), stayed over night, had too many smores, laughed together, and had an all around amazing weekend. Oh and by the way i beat all the boys fishing.. by the end of the first night i had caught eleven fish and was in the lead. Come saturday afternoon i had a total of twenty two fish! whoa! Tyson was in second with nineteen, tony in third with sixteen, and mark sadly in last with twelve. Better luck next time boys! The "greatest fisher in the world" just joined your family hehe. We all had a very good weekend






Just last week he had a very exciting thing happen in the Gillies family! The cutest baby ever.. Boston Bryan Gillies was born on Thursday the first of July in the LDS hospital at 4:10 pm he was (and correct me if i get this wrong) 7 lbs 15 oz. and 21 inches long, full head of hair and looks like his daddy. We all got to see him thursday night... he is so so so precious, cute, adorable, and just a bundle of sunshine ;) - oh and handsome (sorry bryan- he is your manly son) ;)
Here he is!


Soooo Cute!!!
