We have been extremely blessed lately and we are very thankful for what's been happening in our lives. We know that sounds funny coming from a couple that has a picture of Larry Bird below suggesting he has a secret (it still cracks us up) but we have had a lot of great things happen over the last couple of weeks and we are just loving life and realizing how lucky we are.
First and most important, we saw Katie's sisters, nieces, and mom, Denise, again and hung out with them over the weekend. We had such a good time with the kids when they spent the night Thursday. Tagg got out the new tent ($50!!!) and set it up in the backyard. The thing we love about the new tent is it has a screen all the way up to the top so we can stargaze while camping and Tagg can stand up in it. Katie's nieces, Danielle and Rachael, had never slept out before but they were quickly chatting with Katie about "the greatest lovestory ever", "their first camping", and "Jilian, Rachaels playground boyfriend" (don't worry Susanne, your 6 year old daughter confided in us she hasn't even held hands yet).
We also went to Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove with them... to celebrate...Strawberries??? But the carnival was in town and the girls had snow cones, corn dogs, fresh lemonade and yes, strawberries and cream. Watching the girls enjoy the carni-rides got us excited for another event coming up, the Eastern Idaho State Fair (EISF!!!). But it was hilarious to watch the girls run around with snow cone all over them.
And to cap it off, we had a BBQ that night (Tagg grilled the crap out of those dogs, didn't know what hit em) followed by fireworks at Grandma Denise's. We had such a great time and we're happy to see family whenever we get a chance.
We also got to play quarters with them before the left on Sunday. We got the game from our favorite show, The Office, and decided to play it. Notice Rachael's game face to show she doesn't have the quarter:
Secondly, we're extremely happy because Tagg GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL! Katie GRADUATES THIS WEEK!!! We're so excited to be done with one school and starting another! Tagg is going to Westminster College in SLC this fall and is going to get a Masters in Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations and Marketing. Katie will start soon at a salon and is excited to build up more work experience and clientèle.
Finally, here's a picture of Tagg's beautiful wife, Katie, who he is madly in love with and can't get enough of. We can't believe its coming up on two years.

Tagg!!!!! Nate Steele here, it's been quite some time since we last spoke. I hope everything is going well for you and yours. You should know Tommy and I get together every now and again, and it seems like our air soft pistol battles always come up. Its fun to take that stroll down memory lane. Those were some fun days. Anyway, Mals Landon and I are in the process of moving back to Utah so we can closer to family. Things are going well for us, how have you been?
