My little one....

I know I am too young to have a 12 year old, let alone a 16 year old! Lauren is the sweetest, kindest, most loving child. I think that I was in denial about her going to jr. high. I refused to enroll her until the day before school started! yikes.
Last week we had a wedding in our family. This is her waiting for the bride and groom to arrive.

Love that face!

Ramblings of a runner....

Millcreek Fun Run. Sat June 20.
Cari and I met years ago and became great friends. We have been through some roller coasters together. The one thing that we both love is running! Another one of our 5k's early on Sat morning. How can you not want to get up and see that cute face of hers!
I am so excited to continue running, and getting up early to complete many more runs this year!

How cute is my Gran! It's horrible to have her so far away from us. We miss her terribly. Although my family is very grateful that we were able to be with her last September. She is a very special lady to me. Love you Gran!

Holladay 5k

I havent been much into running the past few years, but have just started all over again. Thank goodness your body is very forgiving and I can get back into shape. Taylor and I decided to run Holladays 5k. We met up with Cari and her girls. I'm glad that we finished before the down pour of rain.

Summer Days

Rob and I went to the Scottish Festival on Saturday. It was busy, and a huge storm came, but well worth the drive to Lehi. I think the question of the day was.. "What do men wear under their kilts?"
This is the first summer that I have been able to be home with the girls. I have always been in school, or at work. Thanks to my sweet husband for letting me play while I still have them at home.

Last day of school, Lauren receiving one of her numerous awards from her teacher. We are so proud of her!
While Taylor and I were on the paddle boats, she thought that it would be funny to chase the mommy duck and her babies. (it was kinda funny to see them get away from us)

Memorial Day 2009

I love Memorial Day. To me it's a day to remember those that have passed, those that have served our country, and the start of summer. This year my mom, sister, the girls, and I visited my brother, and grandparent's site. My grandparents are by Winder Dairy, so ice cream was a must. There was a great bagpiper playing in the cemetery while we were there. Then we had lunch, swam, and BBQ'd.

Life gets so busy.....

Birthday

Can you believe how time flies? Yes, I know that I think and feel twenty five still, but I just had another birthday. I keep trying to tell myself that being in your thirties is good, great, and fun! Nah.. I HATE getting older. I did have an amazing day/week. I had lunch all week long with one of my girlfriends, breakfast made for me that morning, shopping with my mom, pedicure, and a spoiled birthday present that I have been dying for from my sweet husband, mom and dad. I do love time with family and friends.
