Mini Golf

Last night, Greg and I went mini golfing at Boondocks with Lacey and Tyson. It was a serious competition. Greg talked me up at dinner, so I was feeling pretty confident, but I bombed. Tyson won with a 10 pt. lead with Greg, Lacey, and I tying for second. Obviously, the three of us need to work on or mini golfing skills before our next competition. I'm comin' for ya Tys!

One Last Horrah!

Last Saturday night (or should I say Sunday morning), while we were kickin it with the Beans (Lacey and Tyson), at about 1am, we decided that we were going to go to Park City on Sunday afternoon and stay the night! Greg said he needed one last horrah before school started. We booked the Mountain Side Marriott resort and headed up Sunday after church.
Greg, Olivia, and I went to main street and shopped and then headed to the outlets. Olivia was so good and hilarious. She was working it with everyone that walked by. She would laugh and scream to get their attention.
Lacey and Tyson came up at about 5 pm and we met them at a yummy mexican restaurant. We then went swimming, played games, talked, and laughed for hours. Lacey and Tyson headed home later that night, and Greg, Ibby, and I slept over!
We had such a blast! It is so fun hanging out with Lacey and Tys. We have so many laughs! I am so excited for them to get married! They are the best!

When we were in Gap, I was trying on a sweater, when Greg walked up and told me to turn around. This is what we saw! Our sweet Ibby was either trying to escape, or checking out the world! Hilarious!

Here we are eating dinner with the Beans!

Pineview

This last weekend, the WHOLE Holmstead crew went to Pineview Reservoir in Ogden Canyon. We had so much fun! We jet skied, tubed, wakeboarded, ATE, and just hung out with the fam!
The first night, the power went off at around 5:30 and was out the rest of the night. It was a little inconvenient, but we still managed to have fun. We hung by the pool til it was too dark, then just hung out with the cousins, talked, and played cards.
The next day was our day at the lake. We had so much fun. Even Olivia got to go on the jet ski. Her face was quite concerned the whole time. We had to keep stoping to make sure she was still breathing (she always holds her breath when the wind is in her face)!
Myken, Greg, and I did the tube, and I still have bruises to prove it. It was a rough ride, and my swim bottoms will agree. I almost lost them countless times. That would've been just a little embarasing. When Myken drove, she was determined to get Greg off, and the nerd wouldn't let go of the dang tube! It was so funny. I was a little sore the next day, but it was still a blast.
Later, Greg and I decided to take the jet ski out and wakeboard. Unfortunately, the rope got sucked into the engine. Count on us to be the idiots to do that. We had to swim the jet ski to shore and cut the rope out. Don't worry, the jet ski still worked (thank heavens)!
We had so much fun! I always love our yearly getaways with the Holmsteads. We make so many fun memories.
I didn't do so well with getting pics, but here's what I got:

Kickin it in the hot tub with the kids! Olivia loved it! (Don't worry, it wasn't very hot)

Matt and Easton napping. Matt might be Olivia's favorite uncle now because when I would put her down for a nap, Matt would sneak in and rescue her if she was crying. He would either snuggle her until she fell asleep, or take her outside to play!

Greg's disgusting mustache that he grew for the trip. Thank heaven's it's gone now!

Almost 7 Months And Crawling!!!

We cannot believe that our little Ibby is crawling! She has been so close for so long and she finally figured it out about three days ago and now our house is no longer safe!

This is also a new skill that Ibby has acquired over the last week. Now that she can pull herself up in her crib, she won't nap! It is a constant battle and one that is rarely won by the parents.

Summer Time!

I haven't posted any pics for a long time. I guess you could say I've been a little lazy. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to lately...

Uncle Bri put all of Grandma Shuey's beany babies in Olivia"s pack 'n play. She was in heaven!

For the 4th of July Me, Greg, Ibbs, Myken, and her kids went to Chili's, then went to Marsh's to watch fireworks. Olivia was mesmerized by the fireworks. She sang and talked the whole time she watched them.

Here's Olivia meeting Aunt Lacey's dog, Ziggy. She loved it, and Ziggy loved her. He wanted to climb all over her and eat her pony tail. It was hilarious!

Greg and I took Olivia up to Bridal Veil Falls. She loves being outside and hearing water. She just stares at it and sings!

For the 24th, Greg, Olivia, and I went and spent the whole day at Myken's! We did the big water slide, swam in the pool, and did a BBQ. It was a fun day! Greg didn't want to leave. Myken may have thought that we were gonna move right in her house! Good times!

Greg loves the water slide. He's like a little boy! He looks a little too big for it though!

Check out Zoe's soggy diaper! She looked like a little wadling duck when she walked!Olivia lounging in the pool! She loved this tube!It's been a fun summer so far! It's been nice having Greg out of school for a minute. I can't wait til December when he's finished! We've been having so much fun with Olivia. She gets more fun and funny every day! Not to sound cheesy, but, being a mom really is the greatest job ever!

The Regulators - It All Began In 2001

In the year of 2001 the Regulators were born. Today, the legend lives on!

The sad thing is, this is how our jerseys fit back in the day.

Ibby loves the new addition to her wardrobe. It actually almost fits her.

The Regulators were the best intramural basketball team to every grace the basketball courts of Orem High School. Our team consisted of some of my best friends. Jeff Carn, Jesse Ward, Greg Williams, Spencer Blackwell, Golden Thomas, Brandon Egbert, Wayne Farnsworth, Aaron Eaquinto, and Ryan Arthur.

Our coaching staff consisted of Jeff Maughan, Alex Coombs, Jeff Cowley, Andy Evans, Mike Morgan, and a bunch of other dudes who coached when they felt like it.

We should have been champs in 2001, owning the best winning record in the entire school. We were sadfully dismissed early in the playoffs. However, in 02, we had our revenge taking the championship in front of the entire school.

I wish the best to all my brethren in whatever they may be doing today!

The Regulators will forever live on in my heart!
