Labor Day Weekend

My favorite time of year is the time the Eastern Idaho State Fair comes to Blackfoot Labor Day Weekend! You can always find good food, good company, and good enternanment (even if it is just people watching). The fair is in town for a full week however this year we only got to spend the weekend because both Skyler and I had to come back to Vegas for work it was short but sweet! Skyler made the rounds at the food booths, some of the things he tried...Chicken Rice Bowl, Steak on a stick (twice), Prime Rib sandwich, Turkey Leg, Scone Nuggets, Cinnamon Roll, Baked Potatoes, Candy Apple, Ice cream, half of my Cheeseburger and fries...I'm sure I'm missing some but he had to get his weeks worth in a weekend! It was fun to walk around and watch all the nieces and nephews ride the rides and take Allie threw the animal booths, crazy to think next year we will be pushing three strollers around!

End of Summer...

Summer is finally coming to an end. It's been a really busy but such a fun summer!

We started off the summer moving into our new house, my parents and Skyler's mom came down and helped us move. The weekend we moved just happened to be the hottest weekend of the summer hitting 115 degrees, (none of them have been back since...hmmm) they were awesome help and we couldn't have done it without them. Both Skyler and I had to work so while we were at work they were busy cleaning the old appartment and painting a few things in the new house. I'll post pictures of it soon.

In July we went to Nauvoo to visit Skyler's grandparents that are there serving a 6 month mission. It was so good to see them and spend time with them. They left in March and will return the middle of September. We got to see all the Old Nauvoo sights, go threw the old houses and see the plays they were in. Of course July wouldn't be July without going boating with Krystal & Bryan and Lori & Brandon!

August we went fishing in Ashton, camping with my family, and spending lots of time out in Pingree with Skyler's family having fun playing with Allie and couple of Wii games with Chelsea! Also in August my parents went on a road trip it happened to be a  weekend that we both had off so we flew to St. Louis and meet them there. While we were with them we drove over to small town that my dad part of his mission at in Kentucky, went to Bowling Green and toured the Corvette Museum, and finished out the weekend in Nashville. Lori and Seth also came to visit for a weekend, it was also above normal heat when they were here, and Lori was NOT impressed. It was still so much fun to have them come and it was Seth's first plain ride and he loved it!

Doing it all with a growing belly! Here are some of the pictures.....

The Story of us

Skyler and I knew each other during high school and the few years after. We would seeing each other around town and where he worked, both of us had "crushes" on each other but because were both shy, neither one of us did anything about it. We went our own separate ways, he went to school at ISU and moved to Las Vegas where he started working for Southwest Airlines and I moved to Utah, went to school there and worked, 5 years later I moved home. Both of our moms are teachers and work at the same school, somehow both of our names got brought up, numbers exchanged and before either one of us knew it, we were being set up by our moms! One phone call and a date to fallow was all it took before we both knew that we had something special.

In Fe. 09 he asked me to marry him, half the town was in on it and I didn't even have a clue! A Few months later in June we were married and started our lives together. The Wedding was amazing, more than both of us had dreamed! Bishop Carter married us in the Groveland church with all of our family and friends around us to share the special day. Here are some of our favorite pictures of the day:

Those are just a few, I could keep going for a long time because everything was beautiful!!!

After a honeymoon cruise to Mexico, we came back and packed my stuff and moved to Las Vegas where we still are today. Skyler still works for Southwest Airlines and I work for Truman Orthodontics. With all of our families still in Blackfoot and his perks of working for Southwest we still get to go home almost every other weekend!

We just bought a new home and have been busy painting, putting our own touches on it and making it our Home.

On October 22nd we are due with a baby BOY!. We can't wait and are so excited, we (or I) just have to endure the Vegas heat being pregnant. In the Dance family I am ONE of THREE that a pregnant, all having boys, and all due within 6 weeks of eachother! Crazy times ahead but so much fun!

That's the story of US in a nut shell!!
Lori is my favorite sister!!!
