Last weekend we went camping up Logan canyon with Rawlee and Daisy and Scott and Elaine. Daisy ran the Logan marathon (yes she is amazing!). We had a great time spending time with family. It was so cool to watch Daisy cross the finish line! I did learn one thing from the trip...I will be sticking to triathlons!

Connor and Ellie playing, playing, and playing some more!

Lyla is always trying to be just like Con. Everyday when he gets his back pack i hear Lyla say, "I wan ba pa!" Here are pictures of her with the "ba pa". I love my little girl!

Life as a working woman

I have a new appreciation for all those moms who work all week, raise good kids, cook, clean, and seem to do it all with ease. The week before school started I received a call from a school in Layton offering me a part time position as a computer lab manager (I know me and computers, don't laugh too hard...they were desperate for a teacher). After some deliberation I took the job. I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9-3. Thank you so much to my neighbor Jamie and my sister-in-law Joy... It is so comforting to know my kids are well cared for. It is really hard to get everything done! I am exhausted by the end of the day. At least I'm learning new things, and as Chris said, "Our blog is going to be awesome!" There is always a bright side to things!

Trip to Arizona

For Labor Day weekend we went to Arizona to visit. It was a weekend full of fun! We left after work on Thursday and drove all night. We went to the lake, golfed, went to the ASU game, girls night out, watched home videos, went swimming, had a BBQ and hung out. It was a weekend to remember.

After wake surfing... I fell, the board hit me on the way down, and we were off to urgent care. I now have 5 stitches and nice shiner! Thanks to Lindsay for the awesome baywatch moment to save me!
