To Love is to Receive a Glimpse of Heaven

Christy and Lindsay are SO creative! They came up with this fun idea to celebrate Bob and Linda's anniversary. We had a yummy dinner (Which by the way Linz I still need the recipe for your pork) and played a fun game of getting to know Bob and Linda better. It was fun to find out how they met and their first impressions of each other-- all the grandkids were laughing! Then to top things off we had them 'cut the cake' and 'throw the bouquet'! Good Times!

Happy Anniversary Bob and Linda - We love you!!

Fun in the Sun at the Dinosaur Park!

Bear Lake with the Feve's!

We love Bear Lake! We also have so much fun with my family! This year we bought a huge kite and so when the wind blew we had a fun time trying to get it up in the sky. It really felt like I was going to go up with it! Also the kids were so brave and jumped into the water when it was only 64 degrees! Thank goodness for aunt stefi who also was brave to jump in and be with my kids! We love aunt stefi! THANKS MOM & DAD FOR THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!

We had a great end of the year 5th grade party! My sister Bekah helped me with ideas and Coleton choose his favorite ones... there was a snowball fight, water-balloon fight, stump the teacher, and a pie eating contest. Coleton's teacher is soooo wonderful and was such a good sport! We loved her-- she has helped Coleton so much! We will miss her! I just posted 2 pics to give you an idea of the fun.

Elise's Dance Recital

I was so sad that I wasn't able to go because of work, but they recorded it for me and the next day Elise & I sat down together and watched her dance. I was so impressed how much she has grown and how talented she is. She is a beautiful person and I'm so thankful she is mine!!

Playing in the MUD!!

What a fun Memorial Weekend! We headed down to Caineville, Utah for some fun four wheeling and boy did we get it! On Saturday it rained... Rob decided to take the kids out for a little dune buggy ride and I stayed back to study for my JetBlue test... After an hour I decided to take a break and clean up the trailer... after awhile I realized it was pouring outside and rivers were all around me! I immediately realized that the reason my family wasn't back was they were stuck somewhere. I said a prayer and knew I could not hop in the truck because that would not make it out in the mud (it was so much like quick sand -- it was scary) I decided I needed to head out and find them... as I opened the trailer door, in a distance, I saw my family coming back... sure enough the buggy's were stuck and they had to abandon them & save themselves :P They were soaked head to toe with Mud & Water. Needless to say my clean trailer didn't stay clean very long. Here are a few fun pics of our trip!

HAPPINESS IS BEING MARRIED TO YOUR BEST FRIEND

13 years & Counting! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe how quickly time goes by when you're having fun! I thank my Heavenly Father for you in my life. You are my Prince Charming, the Man of my Dreams and everyday I feel so lucky to have you by my side. I love you forever!

My New Baby

I had an amazing Mother's Day! My husband had breakfast in bed for me with red & yellow roses on my night stand and the kids all around with beautiful cards they had made. I felt like the luckiest person ever and then the biggest surprise ever... a new baby! He is so handsome and playful and fun! I just love him! We call him Deagan El Diablo. Deagan was the name, but he earned El Diablo -- he is the cutest little stink but if you are not watching carefully he will hide in the grass to attack you.

Party Like a Rock Star!

SUPERCROSS 2009

The most dangerous sport -- Being a Kid!!

So all weekend I was worried about Coleton at Scouts, but he came home safe and sound and as soon as I updated my blog he came in with blood everywhere! He and his buddies were out playing football, Coleton went for the tackle and ended up tackling his friends bike -- OUCH!

Mountains I Conquered this weekend

For those who really know me I've always HATED running. I'm more of an aerobics girl/ or dancer, but running - no way! So 13 weeks ago my brother Tom TELLS me that I'm running in a 1/2 Marathon. I laughed! Well today I did it!! WE DID IT!! Tom- Jessy - Stefanie & Me! I am so proud of us all, I cried! I can't believe how wonderful it feels to be over that mountain- I now really enjoy running and would like to do this again! Here are some pics from the end of the race. Tom-- thanks for the challenge! Jessy-- thanks for pushing me! Stef--thanks for being my running partner! Without you I would not have been able to get up at 6am and run in the snow to get ready for this-- you are my rock! I love you all!



So for my other MOUNTAIN--- it may not seem like a mountain to most of you, but for me, it was! Coleton had his first Boy Scout Overnighter. At first you think, go and have fun -- but then you start remembering all the stories on the news of boys who get lost or get dragged out of their tents by a bear, and then you start realizing how short life is and how important it is to make every moment matter. And then you DON"T want them to leave. I couldn't let Coleton see me crying, I had to be strong. But the moment I dropped him off I couldn't hold it in any longer. I know if I didn't have the race this morning I would have convinced Rob that we needed to go camping (and just happen to be in the same area :P) But Coleton is getting older and I had to let go and that was a big thing for me! He's home safe and sound and had a really good time. I'm thankful all went well, I love him very much! I feel like a stronger person and know that it will be easier the next time!

Happy Easter
