JACK JOHNSON!!!

There was a SEA of people!




Rich, me and Alora went to USANA amphitheater on Monday night to see Jack Johnson in concert. I love this guy! He is one of my faves, by far. It was a great night to get out. The weather was perfect. Rich's Dad is in town and he watched the boys for us. We got a wee bit lost on the way up, so we didn't get there until 6:45ish, and the concert started at 7:00.
When we got there, there was about a BAGILLION people!!! So we hung out with Alora on the lawn and "people watched" for a good 2 hours before Jack even started playing. Alora was great the whole time, just hanging out and sleeping. It was a great night out with my hubby & baby!

Alora's Blessing Day!

We blessed Alora on August 3, 2008. It was such a wonderful day! I was only sorry that ALL of our friends and family couldn't come!

Rich did such a wonderful job, and gave Alora a beautiful, heart-felt blessing. Afterwards, we went to our home and had lunch with our friends and family.

My dear, sweet sister-in-law made Alora's blessing dress, and she did such an awesome job. Thank you so much, Kappy!!!! We used the material from the train of my wedding dress to make it. The flower in the front is one of the flowers from the back of my train, where it was attatched to my wedding dress, with 3 more flowers on the back, and one on the headband.


Here is the back of the dress:

So pretty!


Alora's middle name is Afton, after my dear Grandmother. The little necklace she is wearing with the pink rose, had belonged to her.

July Pics

So we have had a pretty mellow July. Richie moved up to a purple belt in his karate class. We are very proud of him!! Alora changes every day it seems. Carter just loves to dote on her! Here are some pictures from the month:

4th of July

So Rich, Carter, Alora & I went to Brigham City to meet up with Mom & Dad. We met at Pioneer Park, and had KFC. We lounged around all afternoon (well, Rich will tell you that I lounged around all day while he chased Carter around the entire park--and this is entirely true!--thanks hon, you're the best!) Then later Dallon and his friend showed up. We hung around until that evening, then watched the fireworks! It was a fun, laid back evening. We are very blessed to live in this country and to be able to have all of the freedoms that we enjoy.
