{ahhhhhh} sUmMeR...

easy peasy...

so i really like the fabric flower fad. but i just haven't broke down and actually spent money on them. however, i learned how to make them. believe me...it is so easy! i just practiced on some old black scrap material i had in my sewing box. now i just want to get some fun colors and make cute ones!

our little lady is lovin' summer...

by air and by sea or (lake)...

daddy's little pilot {jentri LOVES the helicopters}
cody had me bring my parents in when they came to visit last weekend and surprised them with rides...he is so sweet!
dad or mom had never flown in a helicopter before
i love this pic of my dad...ready to roll!

mom and cody landing

last weekend was so nice we just had to go to the lake! jentri also loves riding with her dad on his pontoon boat. all week she has kept saying, "dad. boat. vrrrrm (her expression for fast)"

our life lately...

jentri and her new 4-wheeler from Ryder. he was nice enough to let her have it :) (thanks carie and rory for the 4-wheeler and cute vinyl) jentri loves it! the other day i caught her standing on the seat driving it across the yard. she did this until she popped a wheelie and went over backwards...our little trick rider :)

she also got her first pet...a fish. we wish it was a dog, but a fish is all we can do right now :) she says "hello fish" every morning and various times throughout the day

this is where i found her after she ran out of the bathroom naked after bath time...sadly...she had to pee on the clothes that she did not pull out before climbing in...ha ha ha



this is definitely one her favorites...pool time...

after much thought and prayer we decided to put our house on the market. we LOVE our neighborhood and ward, but are hoping that cody can soon get another flight job. so this means we would have to move... so if you know anyone interested in buying a home in roy...please, send them here! :)

happy birthday!!

cody turned the big "25" on thursday. all his dreams and wishes came true when he got this hunting pack! i love my hubby so very much! he is the greatest friend, husband, and daddy! hope you had a great bday babe! we love you!!

if mayo is a must...

i just finished making my first batch of homemade mayo. i personally am not mayo's biggest fan. i have never loved the taste or the nutritional value of it. well, i guess i have made a few choice salads with it. however, cody takes his own lunch a lot, and he has to have mayo on a sandwich. so i figured i would atleast make it homemade and avoid the highly processed, preservative packed mayo you get at the grocery store. atleast making it homemade you can use good oil that has Omega 3's in it and good ingredients. i got a recipe HERE from Taste is Trump! this is a great blog for those looking for healthy tips and recipes. i'll be honest, making it made me realize just why i don't like it. but it is a great recipe that works and is a healthier alternative to buying it at the store! and the next time i make broccoli salad, i will definitely be using this mayo for it!
