Guess Who's Going Back to School...

You guessed it!

I have decided to go to DeVry University and get my bachelors in Hospitality Management. This will help me better plan all the fun events at Spectrum. I am so excited! After I was given a promotion last year and able to plan some events, I realized how much I enjoy doing it! So, after 4 months of looking for an event planning degrees I've finally found it!

I start on August 30.

I am trying to win a Silhouette. One of the ways to enter their contest is to blog about it.

A Silhouette is like a Circut, but better! You don't have a have any cartridges to make it work.

Here's the link to the giveaway. You should enter too! And if YOU win (instead of me), please let me borrow it! :)

Simmons Family Reunion

We had a great weekend! Erick's family came from Idaho for a family reunion! Everyone was so excited to see Colby! He got to meet a lot of family we don't get to see very often. It was a fun day, but Colby was so ready to get out of the heat and come home. Here are some of the fun pictures we took!

Here is Colby and me! I just got my hair cut and I love it! Colby likes to sit up and look around now.

Erick's cousin Kristy had Isabelle 6 months ago. She LOVED looking at Colby.

 

Deklin - 6 weeks, Isabelle - 6 months, & Colby - 3 months

Favorite Pic

Here's my favorite picture of Colby that my mom has taken! This is TOTALLY Colby!

Four Generations

We were able to take a four generation picture with my family! It was so neat! My grandpa and my dad both graduated from the University of Utah, and Erick is going to graduate from there in 3 years! Even Colby is wearing and U of U onsie and sucking on a "Ute Fan" binki!

While we were at it, we got a family picture in our U of U shirts! We look so cute!

Blessing

We blessed Colby in June. Colby was able to wear overall shorts that his Grandma Karen made for Erick 27 years ago! He looked so dang cute! I am so glad he was able to wear the same outfit as his daddy! I bet Karen was so happy.



Before Erick's mom, Karen, passed away, she had started a few baby quilts. For some reason or another, when we cleaned out her house we didn't end up with any of them. When I figured this out I was very upset about it.

Debbie Hone (long time family friend to Erick's family) finished this quilt that Karen had started and gave it to Colby the day he was blessed! I almost started bawling when I opened it. It's been kind of hard not having Karen around. She loved babies. We know she was able to play with Colby before he got here. It was so thoughtful of Debbie to keep those unfinished quilts and finished them for us so Colby could have something that Grandma Karen made.
