Ive been thinking all week(as most of you i'm sure) about 9-11. I cant believe its been 7 years! I am truely grateful for all the men and women that have put their families on hold and their lives at risk to fight for my freedom! I am personally thankful for my brother who has left us serveral times since that day to serve his country.

Welcome Home!!

We are REALLY excited to have Ray, Cami, Savanna and Jayden back in Utah!!

We haven't spent a ton of time together since they have been back(especially with Cami - poor girl works too hard) but we have really enjoyed having you around! We want to see more of you!

Fun Hobbies

Well Ive not been very good at blogging lately!! I figured I would blog about a common recurrence in our home! As many of you know Tyrone loves to make beer. He is a home brewer. Believe it or not this originally was my idea. I even came up with a name for our beer, "Hipwell Home Brew, "The beer that makes a house a home"! I had always thought it would be "fun" to try. Well, this fun hobby has become somewhat of an obsession for Tyrone. As many of you probably are already aware, my sweet Tyrone likes things a certain way so I have stepped back and let him take over. I thought I would post a few pictures of the process to let you in on what happens at our house about once a week!
Tyrone's other hobby is his garden! He had some good luck with zucchini this year. A couple of weeks ago I decided I should support him by trying to make something with the zucchini. I'm not much of a cook so this was a fun challenge for me. I made zucchini bread and stuffed zucchini. I was actually kinda proud of myself. But before the oven even had a chance to cool, I was ushered out of the kitchen so Tyrone could start on a new batch of beer!
