Bread!

I know you're all probably thinking, "Geez, she never does anything with her blog, and when she does she writes about bread?" But earlier this week I made bread for the first time, and I'm so proud of it! I made wheat bread, and it turned out really well. It's not often that I feel really domestic, but for some reason I was feeling it that day, and it paid off!

Baby Sandee

A few weeks ago, we went up to Salt Lake because Ashton's cousin B and his wife Jenny came in from Hawaii to bless their new baby, Sandee. She's a cute little baby, and here she is with cousin Ashton.

Bug on the Bed

There's no story to go along with this, I just thought it was a funny picture. It's Bug, lounging on our bed.

Wedding in Ferron

This past weekend Ashton's cousin Buck got married. The reception was in JaNene and Doug's (Ashton's aunt and uncle) backyard in Ferron. It turned out really nicely. Buck's sister Christella made their wedding cake, and it was beautiful. She'd never made a wedding cake before, and she did a wonderful job. As for flowers, Christella, Nichole (Ashton's cousin Pat's wife), and I made all the corsages and boutonnieres. Christella and Nichole made Chanie's (the bride) bouquet, and it was gorgeous. None of us had ever done that kind of stuff before, but the flowers all turned out very nicely. It was a really nice wedding.

Ashton's New Friend

I come home from work today, and what's on the couch? Ashton and his new mustache. He's had a goatee for the past couple of days, but decided to cut it back to just the 'stache today. And I've got to be honest; It's not my favorite look. It's actually kind of freaking me out a little bit. I told him that he looks like some sort of a deviant.
Ashton thinks it's great, though. He likes all the funny smiles he's getting from people. It's funny to watch him when he sees his reflection in a window or something. He makes himself smile and chuckle. I have to admit that the 'stache is funny, I just hope it doesn't last for long.

Going to Detroit!

My brother John went into the MTC on June 25. We got his first letter today, and it sounds like things are going really well so far! We miss him, but we're so proud of him!

Paige

We've gotten to spend a lot of time with our niece Paige this month. It's been so much fun! She's the most good natured baby I've ever met! She's always so happy. We hope that when we have kids they're at least half as pleasant to be around as she is!
