The Farmer's Market

Yesterday we went to the Farmer's Market in downtown Salt Lake. I loved it! There was fresh fruit and bread and flowers....it was like we were in Seattle. We bought a bag of apples and pears. There was one little booth that made fresh fruit pies...and they were delicious! It was the perfect Fall outing.

Appendi--what??

Sunday Night during Andy's birth party, he started to get a pain in his side. He actually didn't tell me about it until the morning when he called me on his way home from work at 7:30 AM. He had only been at work for a half-hour when the pain in his stomach got so bad he couldn't do anything.

We went into the InstaCare and they told us to go straight to the Emergency Room. After a few tests and a CT Scan they confirmed it was appendicitis. The poor thing...the day after Andy's birthday he had to get an emergency surgery to get his appendix out!

A few hours later he was in surgery getting his appendix removed! It was a crazy long day! The funny thing is the day before he was talking to his mom about her upcoming shoulder surgery and Andy mentioned how much he wants to get surgery done...I guess that was his birthday wish coming true!

Let the WILD Rumpus Start

Last Sunday we celebrated Andy's 27th Birthday! We really started celebrating on Friday--it was an all weekend event! On Friday we went with the Boyer's to dinner at Red Robin and then to see a movie.

Then Sunday we went to dinner at the Bushes and celebrated some more! We threw Andy a "Where the Wild Things Are" party! This is Andy's favorite book as a kid and he is sooo excited for the movie to come out later this month.

We read the story to the kids and gave them all "Wild Thing" masks to wear, and of course Andy had his crown just like Max. After the story we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate "Wild Thing" cupcakes. Happy Birthday baby...I love you with all my heart!

Priesthood Meeting and Carmel Apples

Last weekend we watched General Conference. I love watching conference and hearing from the leaders of our church. This is one of my favorite weekends! On Saturday night we all met at my parents house and the boys went to the General Priesthood meeting. When they got back we made caramel apples and then the boys gave a re-cap on their meeting.

2 Years Baby!

A couple of weeks ago Andy and I celebrate two years as husband and wife! We took a road trip to St. George and stayed at one of my friend's home in Hurricane--it was beautiful. We drove down on Friday and on Saturday we went down to Vegas and shopped then went to the LOVE Beatles Cirque du Solei show. It was amazing!

Sunday we played all day in the sun and swam in the pool! That night we (as in Andy) BBQ'd it up. It was his first time cooking steaks on the grill and they tasted awesome! Later we watched a movie in the hot tub!

I love Andy Boyer because:

1. he writes me love notes on sticky's that have googley eyes on them.
2. he winks at me from across the room.
3. we have a secret handshake.
4. when we're watching t.v. he pulls me from across the couch to cuddle.
5. he always gets rid of moths that try to attack my eyelashes.
6. he sings Dixie Chicks songs with me at the top of our lungs.
7. he lets me go "Garage Sale'ing" every Saturday...and always gives me an item to look for.
8. he loves the Jazz.
9. he never gets embarrassed...he always tries to get me to yell out things like "D-Will" in crowded places.
10. he has an incredible testimony of the gospel and is a strong priesthood holder.
11. he always is the one to remind us to read the Book of Mormon each night.
12. he puts a smile on my face every day...and always makes me laugh.

I love you baby and I love that we get to spend forever together!

An Old-Fashioned Picnic

South Jordan City put on an Old Fashioned Picnic a few months ago. It was the cutest thing ever! After parking your car down the street, you got to ride in on a horse and buggy, not so much a buggy as a wagon I guess. They had popcorn, sno cones and old fashioned games to play. Don't worry, Andy and I took the liberty to dress-up in our old-fashioned wear...no no it was not mandatory or really even advertised as optional!

Bye Bye Jimbo...see you in 2 years!

I'm still trying to catch up on events from the summer. Here are some photos from dropping Jim off at the MTC. Three weeks later he was off to Georgia. It's been only four months and I sure do miss him.
