Fourth of July Weekend

I love the Fourth of July! It is my favorite holiday. This year we had a weekend FULL of fun! We started by going to lake with Amy and Casey. It was so nice to relax on the beach, waterski, wakeboard, tube, and hang out with friends. Friday night we went to the West Point festivities. Games, fireworks, friends... On Saturday morning Chris and I ran in the Clearfield 5K race, went to the West Point Parade (We loved the planning commissions float!), ate breakfast at our house with Chris' family, swam at the WAC, and then went to the Kaysville fireworks. Needless to say the kids were exhausted...but very happy. We are so blessed to live in a land where we are free to live as we want. Thanks to all who serve our country and protect our freedoms.

Blog Overload!

Check out what we did in June...it was a fun and really busy month! We love summertime!

Family trip to Arizona!

We spent the week in Arizona playing with cousins, hanging out with friends, and holding my newest niece Macee! Here are some pictures of the week.

Riley and Connor swimming in the pool.

Lyla's silly face!

We went to the Diamond Backs Baseball game with Jamie and Tarik and their family. The kids were on the big screen during the 7th inning stretch. Connor is in the green shirt on the right.

Rally cap time! My cute family!

My favorite thing we did was go to the lake with my parent's boat...This is Chris with the kids after they crashed and fell off the tube...as you can see Lyla didn't love it! I love being at the lake with my family...true happiness!

My tough boys!

Connor and Riley on the tube...these two loved it! Riley even lost her tooth on one ride.

Ragnar Relay 2009

Last weekend Chris and I ran in the Wasatch Back Ragar Relay Race. It was very hard, but really fun too. We were on a team of 12 random people. We ran from Logan to Park City. 188 Crazy miles! It took a while but we finally got to the finish line! Our team name was "Are We There Yet?"

Here is van #1 before the race started. Our van was my brother Steve, his wife Breck, my brother Andy, me, a friend Marci, and Chris.

Chris handed off to me each time. Here is our last hand off.

My last leg was my hardest leg...it didn't help that I hadn't slept! It was 7.9 miles with hills. As I hit about mile four I came to the top of hill and saw our van and another random van doing the chicken dance! It made me laugh and I was able to keep going. The best part of the race was cheering each other on.

Marci and I being silly!

Our Team: Steve, Andy, Chris, Casey, Marci, Kevin Jamie, Kari, Breck, Me, Sarah, Mandi.

Steve and Breck's Wedding

On June 6th my little brother Steve married Breck. We had a great time celebrating with them! It was such a nice day and a BEAUTIFUL wedding dinner! The food was awesome and the kids had a great time dancing! The girls couldn't get enough of Breck...they thought she was a true princess!

Connor and his best buddy/cousin Bentley. These two love to be together and play, play, play! Here they are at the dinner the night before the wedding.

Our family outside the Mesa Temple....I love going to marriages in the temple so I can remember what is really important!

The happy couple! They are so cute together!

Connor's Preschool Graduation

Connor had a great year at preschool this year! Here he is with Miss Kristy...the best teacher ever! I can't believe he is old enough to go to Kindergarten!

Connor is 5!

Connor is 5! He has been looking for forward to this day for a long time! The only thing he wanted was to spend his birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese. We had a great time playing games, eating cake, and spending time with family and friends.
