They look similar right?

A week ago we got to meet this sweet little girl. We already miss her tons and cant wait till November to see her again!



BYU's first football game was Saturday so of course i had to make a little treat to watch the game. These are just Oreo truffle's shaped as footballs.

Debbie

Glen's mom passed away Sunday after battling cancer for 2 years. While her passing is a sad thing we are happy to know she is back with her Heavenly Father and out of pain. I am so grateful to have known Debbie for 3 years. I see so many of Debbie's good qualities in Glen, and I can't began to express how grateful I am for the way that she helped raise Glen. I know she had a big part in the way Glen treats women and more specifically me. I am so grateful for the love of the gospel that Glen has partly because of his Mom. She always made a point to express the importance of the gospel and the temple to us. She was such a good example by going multiple times a week to serve in the Lords house. I believe that Glen got his genuine concern for people from from Debbie. She spent the majority of her life taking care of people as nurse. If any one knows Glen they know about his love for animals. I had wondered where the idea or becoming a vet or owning petting farm came from until I started hearing all his childhood stories about all the crazy animals he had while living with his Mom. Even while we had our hedgehog she was always calling and asking about it and was always in support of Glen getting other pets. We will miss Debbie a lot, but we are so grateful for everything she has taught us and the wonderful example she has been to us.



2 Years!
Sunday was also our 2 year anniversary! 2 years ago i married my best friend. I cannot believe how fast time has gone! We have not celebrated it yet due to moving and the other circumstances but i thought i would take the time to tell Glen how much i love him and how grateful i am for him! I cant even imagine my life without him!
He was sneaky and surprised me with these....

Summer!

I had 3 days between my spring and summer semesters so we took a short vacation down to St. George. The highlight of our trip was going to the Little Mermaid play at the Tuachan. I have seen several plays there but this was Glen’s first. They always do an amazing job! We celebrated the 4th with a BBQ with the family at Bob’s house and fireworks at my parents.

Bob made shot glasses out of ice again, always fun and entertaining

My fourth of July treat!

Stratton was spider-man most of the night

Jen, Shay, add Kenyon came over for fireworks

The ship for the play

Eleanor Rosa Zobell

This is Eleanor Rosa Zobell our first niece! She was born June 10th. We cant wait to meet her in August! Congrats Brett & Steph!

Lately

Well it doesn't really feel like summer yet, we both work part-time, go to school, and the weather is horrible. The most bitter sweet thing lately though is tennis season ends this weekend! (assuming the weather cooperates). We have loved being coaches. We had a great season with 3 out of our 5 teams going to state this weekend in Salt Lake. I think i love it the most because it reminds me of when i went to state as a player. We have put so much time and effort into tennis that we are really sad its ending but happy to have a little more time to ourselves till the girls season starts this August. We are so proud of our team and happy we at least have another year with the boys. While we really only have a few weekend vacations planned this summer we cant wait for a little more free time with each other and friends and we get our first niece in June that we cant wait for! We look forward to more weekends like the one this weekend with state, best friend Kristen in town, and best friend Shayli's birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Shay!( even though it was yesterday).
This month was also our best friend Tay Tay's birthday and we got her the best present of all! We should be her favorite siblings for this!

Projects

Here are some of our recent projects:
I used to sit on the floor and do my hair and makeup. For a while Glen has been trying to find me a little makeup desk so i wouldn't have to sit on the floor anymore. We found this for 6$


and with a little paint and wallpaper made me this:


Lastly we made these little cookies for a family party with our cookie gun.
