"Picture Blog" ha! ha! ha!

So here is my tribute to "being a kid again" post. It's all about PICTURES! Here is a small update of my life in the last month. It's been a crazy busy month, and it's been filled with lots of love, fun, happy, strengthening, and sad moments. Here ya go!!!!

I work at American Eagle for about 10 hours a week so I can "support my shopping habbit" and I was ringing someone up when a girl from Bloomers brought me flowers. I knew the girl because she delivers to the dental office for us. (We give all our patients roses) anyway, she said "These are for YOU today!" How cool is my husband. We didn't even get in an arguement before or anything. It was totally JUST BECAUSE!









My cute friend Treo had her baby! I threw her a baby shower with all the girls from the dental office. She got a ton of cute stuff. Made me get a little baby hungry. hehehe. (No, not an announcement.)









My cousin Quinn got married and we went to the Hogle Zoo. My FAVORITE is the giraffe's.












Gavin and Lainee blessed their beautiful baby girl. Preston walked home with Jacob and this was a cute "candid" moment I thought I would capture.












Garr's mom has a boat and we went out for a little afternoon on the water and some fishin'












We had our friends over for a BBQ and Garrett put on my apron so he didn't get watermelon on his new shirt. Isn't my little Betty Crocker cute!









Sad times. My family dog of 10 years had to be put to rest due to old age. His body was shutting down so we had to say goodbye. This was such a hard thing to do. Those of you who have ever had a family dog would understand. The hardest thing was leaving my parents house and knowing he wouldn't run to the door next time I go over there. Thank you to my friend who watched over and protected me. (When I had my surgery in 2004, I wasn't able to sit up on my own because they had cut through all my muscle and broken my entire rib cage, he sat outside my room the whole time. It's amazing the scences dogs have.)










Yet another 5K! This time it was at midnight! We wore glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets. The pictures of us didn't turn out because the glow left a streak up our faces. So here is me at the finish line. They are taking my tag off so they could get my time.

There ya go! Lot's of good times!

Girls Weekend

Last weekend we had a little bit of a girls weekend. My Aunt Trish came into town from New Mexico to vist as well as go to my Aunt Linda's wedding. So Thursday night we had my family over for dinner at our house and the boys had to go outside because well...there was just a little to much WOMAN going on inside. haha. So here is a pic of us girls. Yes, I look like a slob, I had been cooking all day.



Saturday morning we drove up for the wedding and had to stop in Bevar to get a snack and so the two "old ladies" in our car could walk around. (hehehe Love you mom and Trish)













I'm no pro, but my aunt asked me to take some pics at the wedding. It was so fun! I don't have a way nice camera and I haven't learned photo shop or anything, but here is a fun pic we took of me and my sisters! Love my girls!









Here's my mom's family! 8 children! (one of which didn't come) My grandma is full Japanese -she's the short one next to the bride! ;)

P-O-W-E-L-L Baby!!!!!!

We went out to Lake Powell over Memorial Day weekend and had a BLAST! Normally when we go we have fun on the houseboat, play games, hop in the boat and cruise around with a wakeboarder on the back. This trip was a little different. The water was FREEZING!
We barely dipped our toes in without it taking our breath away.
But it was fun because we were able to do something we don't do very often - SEE Lake Powell.














We went for a boat ride the first day up the channel and down some place that I thought was absolutely gorgeous. Little did I know I was in for a surprise the next day. We went up Cathedral Canyon - it is officially my new favorite place! It was BEAUTIFUL! We drove as far as we could, but it was soooo cool because you would go down this narrow part and think it was going to end and then another opening! Oh LOVE IT!

I don't know if you can see in this last picture -but I ended up being a total raccoon!
Thanks Jess and Derek for inviting us. You're the best and we had fun! Love ya!
