It has happened again! I have had the hardest time keeping up with the blog! My computer is ready to hit the dust but I think I might be able to bring it back so hopefully I can get back into the grove of blogging! So here is a quick re-cap of the last month and a half! Hod on tight cuz here we goooooooooooooooo!!!!!
We were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House and it was beautiful (as they all are!) We are excited to go do a session sometime soon! 
My little cousin Kessley got baptized and we were so lucky to be there... she looked beautiful!
Just a fun family photo!
MICHAEL HAS GRADUATED!!!! I pulled of a surprise graduation dinner for Mike with some family and friends! We had so much fun and he was totally surprised! It was awesome! Thank you to all those who were able to attend and we missed those of you who were not able to make it! CONGRATS BABY! LOVE YA!!!!
Our friends Al and Lexi moved into a new place and we got to help them tear down wall paper and paint their new place! It now looks so good!
We went to Logan a few weekends ago and went canoeing with Mom and Dad Brown... it was so much fun!
We were able to watch our little nieces and my new nephew with at Mom and Dad Browns and we had a blast! They are so darn cute!
Mike and I picked up grandma Magnusson and went up to Logan Thursday night right after work. Friday morning, mom and dad Brown, Mike and I, and grandma went to the hospital and got to see baby James and picked up the girls. 
We took them to the Pioneer Days parade in Logan and had a lot of fun! We were blessed enough to have cloudy weather so it was not TOO hot :) We then took the girls to the park and played with them for some time. Later that afternoon, Michelle and James were released from the hospital so we took dinner over and we shot off fireworks! It was a great day and it was fun to celebrate Pioneer Days with family!
Saturday morning we went to the historic site Golden Spike National Park where the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads met! We watched a little movie on it, saw the reenactment, took a car tour, and took a hike. It was a HOT but fun filled day! 
We had a great weekend and are trying to get ready for another week!
Good news! - Well my mom has been out here a lot helping my grandma Wagner because my grandpa has been in the hospital since February. It seems that anything and everything that could go wrong, did. Well about 6 weeks ago we though he was going down hill again and much to our surprise he made a miraculous recovery! He was able to come home on Monday and he is doing well! He is eating food for the fist time since February and we all could not be more excited from him! LOVE YOU PAPA! 
Jim Brickman - Mike and I had the chance to go see Jim Brickman in concert at an outdoor theater! He is a romantic pianist and he sings beautifully! Anyone who does not know his work needs to get to know it! Unfortunately our allergies were getting to us to we had many sniffles. Otherwise it was a very romantic night out under the stars, snuggles up in a blanket together, letting the music take effect on us!
Rogers Camping Trip - We were lucky enough to go on the annual week long Rogers camping trip down in southern Colorado. It is just my immediate family but we have a blast! This year was a little more relaxed than most years. My mom and I took naps every day, I read a book, the boys were constantly playing horse shoes, we four wheeled a ton, the boys shot guns all day long, and naturally we are like campin’ kings and queens! It did rain every day but it was kind of nice because it kept the mosquitoes away! We saw some very beautiful scenery and spent a lot of time around the camp fire and enjoyed one another’s company! We also were able to spend a day with my dad’s side of the family because my cousin Nicholas came home off his mission so we went to his homecoming! It was good to see family that we had not seen in awhile! Welcome home Nick! 
We went to Colorado for the weekend and it was great! Mike and I made a last minute decision to go and did not tell ANYONE that we were coming! Cameron had graduated from high school on Thursday and then Landon's birthday was Saturday and my cousin Brook flew out there to Surprise Landon!! So we decided that we could not miss out on the festivities! We left right after work on Friday and got in around 10:45, just in time to catch the end of Cameron's graduation party! It was held at a church house and was for all the graduates in our ward. We snuck in and my mom flipped out when she saw us! My brother Landon came running across the gym and was screaming! It was hilarious! My whole family was so excited! Saturday was Landon's 16 birthday and we through him a surprise party and again, we had a blast! He had no idea and we had a great turn out! We played games and Miked BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone! He LOVES to BBQ! Sunday was a little more relaxing. A good friend of mine, Christie Kofford, got home off her mission on Wednesday and she gave her homecoming talk in church! We were able to catch up for a minute and it was just so good to see her again! That night my grandma and grandpa Rogers and my cousins came over for dinner (left over BBQ)! Unfortunately our trip ended there and we left Monday afternoon. 
The sad part of the story. Saturday morning my dad noticed that my tires did not look so good. Well we had worn the back 2 tires all the way down to the steal belts! Yikes! The front ones were in a little bit better condition but still not the best. The tires were only a year and a half old so they SHOULD have been covered under warranty but since I never rotated the tires, they would not replace them!! RUDE! I was a little bitter but... I learned a lesson. So we immediately took my car into the shop to get 4 new tires! We were very lucky that the tires didn't explode and fall apart on us while we were on the road, so it is a blessing that we found out before anything happened. It made a little more sense why we were slipping all over the road on the way there too. It rained most of the way but it was not too bad. We had to go slow because we kept hydroplaning and slipping but no one else was! Well now we know why! Man oh man.... well so much for a cheap trip lol :) 
Then that night we went up to Bountiful to visit my grandpa and his wife. There is a girl from Vietnam who has been living with them for about 5 years and she is going to culinary arts school. Well she was making some spring rolls for a a party she was going to and she was doing all sorts of fun tricks with the food so she taught me how to do some of it! I actually did it and it looked good! I was so excited! This is my creation! 
Overall it was a great spring break! 
How thankful we are for this Easter season. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband who loves me and cares for me. We are thankful to live so close to the temple and that we are able to attend regularly. We have been blessed to have the gospel in our lives and to be raised with parents who love us and taught us that our Heavenly Father loves us too! We know that our Savior lives! He gave us his life so that we might be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven. We are truly blessed, to have each other and to have such wonderful family and friends!
