Update

Well, It certainly has been a long time.

I didn't realize that the last entry was nearly a month ago.

Sorry.

Well there are several things that you need to be updated on

1. Utah Valley State College is no longer around. GO Utah Valley University.

2. The fourth of July was Awesome. Patrick and I ended up deciding that going to the Stadium of Fire was not going to be the greatest idea because Audrey would not have appreciated sitting in the same spot for so long. You see the week before on the 30th was UVUphoria. It was a celebration for the College becoming a University. We ended up leaving the concert early because Audrey was being a brat (like normal) and could not sit still and she was frustrated and we were frustrated and plus the thing was really boring.
They had three country singers and each played a full hours set. It was not awesome. Plus the American idol guy Josh Gracin kept singing other peoples songs. Now i freely admit that i do not like country and if I know that you are playing someone else's music you most likely shouldn't be doing it. Because it's not cool. But who can blame him the guy is used to singing others songs. That's how he got his start.
Anyway i digress from my story. Where was I....Right, We decided not to go because of UVUphoria. Also Katherine and Michelle decided that they didn't want to deal with Audrey and they didn't want her to go. So after telling mom and going through a pretty tense day we sold our tickets. It actually didn't take very long to sell them. I think i sold them off of craigslist in about a half hour. I know.....Right?
On the 4th i still helped mom with the parade and actually walked it to because of the marching band. Which was great if you enjoy walking in 100 degree weather and not drinking enough water. (I got a dehydration headache after. Drank about 5 glasses of water took a pill and a nap later was feeling great.) After the nap we went to moms for our BBQ. After that we went to the Festival down at the Provo City Center. That was cool. Got an awesome parking spot because of Katherine's apartment. Hooray for Katherine and the vulture House. Again we ended up leaving that pretty soon too because Audrey was not a happy camper and wanted a nap.
So went home for another nap. Now normally Audrey doesn't really want to take so many naps but the poor think was out in the sun so much that day. She really hated us.
After that everyone went to the Stadium of Fire and Patrick and I went home. Now I was okay with the fact that i did not get to see the Stadium of Fire Fire works. (by they way they are awe...wait for it.....some!) I really love those things and really wanted to see them.
I know what you are thinking. You can see the same fireworks for free. No you don't! it is a totally different experience in the stadium and i love it. i get all patriotic because of the music and start to cry. Yes, I cry! Don't judge me. It is not like the free ones you get too see from the hill. TRUST ME!!!
That next day Katherine and Michelle go off about how awesome it was and the Miley was actually okay and that they had so much fun singing all the songs and that blue man group was amazing and the fireworks were the biggest that they had seen in a long time and on and on and on And then get this they said. "you should have come!"
WHAT!!!!!
I sold my ticket because you didn't want Audrey there. Don't say things like that!!! Whatever I don't care!..........actually I do. Katherine and Michelle you suck!

3. Audrey did not get kicked out of day care. Thank you everyone for your advise. We ended up bringing oral gel to the daycare and they give it to her everyday after her nap. And we bring Pinks (her teddy bear. thank you Kaylee) every day so that she has something to cuddle. She loves that bear. I think it's time to buy a new pinks and slowly phase this old one out. The poor thing is so dirty. She must drag the thing through the dirt while out in the play yard. I swear I'm washing it at least twice a week. No more about pinks. she didn't get kicked out and that is what matters.

4. TEXAS!!! We just got back from Texas on Monday and had the greatest time. Dad and Veniece thanks for spending the money to get us out there. We really appreciated it. I think I'll talk a little more about that later. My hands are getting tired of typing.

Loves
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

Horrible News

I just got a phone call from patrick saying that audrey has been put on a 2 week probation. If she doesn't stop bitting in that period of time they are going to kick her out of daycare.
I don't know what to do and welcome any and all advise.

Happy Birthday Grandpa

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear graandpaaaaaaaaa
Happy Birthday to you

Thank you for all your love and support and we wish you the best birthday ever.

Love.
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey :)

Carrie and Nate Gross Wedding

Last saturday was Carrie and Nates wedding (Finally!)

I've got lots and lots of thoughts running through my head about this union it's crazy! I'm just so excited about it for a number of reasons.

1. Carrie is married
2. Carrie is married to an awesome guy (Really really awesome)
3. she moved into my ward
4. she is like 5 doors down
5. Carrie is married.

Okay so it wasn't a whole bunch of thoughts but mainly the fact is she is married and in my ward. Yeah! I get see her!

Anyway yeah for the rejoicing part!

I now can see why people have their wedding reception the night before the actually temple wedding. The whole day was so full of drama it was intense. I do not wish to go into major detail about the whole thing but i do not think that someones special day has ever had so much drama.

1. Sisters trying to steal thunder: julie and ray (mean girl in orange shirt is what i call her.)
1. Julie got married 2 weeks before carrie and was engaged 2 months after her. (Not cool)
2. Photographer shows up an hour and a half late to the temple. (thank goodness Michelle brought her camera)
1. People were not listening to the directions michelle and i were trying to give and people started b*%#@ back. Like we have ever done a wedding before and it was on the spot mind you!
3. finally guy shows up and tells carrie and nate that he will not be at the reception
4. Nate and carrie ask michelle to take them at the reception
5. family is not set up in time for the reception and miss the time allotted for good family portraits at the reception. carrie did not get the one picture she really wanted. one with all her sisters. and none of them really didn't seem to care.
   
6. limo shows up 35 minutes late after everyone has left the reception. in other words they did not get to have that big fun send off.
   
7. limo dude barley speaks a word of english and has a chick in the front seat of the limo.
   

Now re reading the list it doesn't seem that bad but remember it was a wedding day and it was insane that so much happened. i just don't think i can describe how bad i felt for carrie and nate. but you know what.l.. that just means they need to be together that much more.

The two of them are perfect for one another and deserve all the happiness in the world.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
