Um...Excuse me

So apparently Owen decided to make his own lunch today and got caught red handed in a container full of cool whip. Hey, if i could eat whatever i wanted for lunch, it would be that too. Happy Friday!

Summer...

Makes me happy!
Love, Owen.

Birthday Details

The day started with a nice tough hike/run to the Y with my beautiful sister Haley.

Then we dropped off the kids with "papa" and headed up to Park City and shopped till we couldn't shop anymore.

The day ended with a little picnic at the park with family and friends. I had lots of help opening presents and eating cake...which by the way tyson designed himself from the bundt cake factory. He was so proud and it was delicious!

Its never felt better to be 24!

Happy Birthday to...

ME...in less than 3 hours.

birthday details to come later...

Whats going on at our house

RIGHT NOW...

Demolition has started on our back step to prepare for the glorious day we frame in a laundry room! Uncle Mark is coming this weekend to start the framing and pretty soon, i will say goodbye to laundry mats and very long days in my moms laundry room. Yipee!

A special thanks to Jeremy and Kevin who came over for the special demolition day. Back to work boys!

Heaven in a bowl.

Today i had the delight of picking some fresh veggies from my garden. Im in LOVE. What could be better?

Have a fabulous weekend!

P.S. GO SABRA! "So you think you can dance" Winner. If i could dance like her.... i would be illegal.

A few things...

I LOVE these days...


A good boy on a long car ride.

Gummy candies.


Little boys shoes.

Running in the rain, or anytime for that matter.


A nice note from the hubbie with hand picked roses from our yard, neatly lying on my pillow.

"So you think you can dance". Finale tonight!



Water, water, water in the 100 degree weather. Or if i am feeling lucky, a soy jamba juice. mmm

More good things to come...

Belly update

Sorry, no pics of the belly at this point but im finally starting to feel better...4 months later! Although now i am really growing a belly and its getting harder to fit in my clothing. Its getting a bit harder to run these days too. People have been asking what i do while i am pregnant so let me tell you... I run about 5 days a week 4-5 miles. After it gets too hard to run, i like to do the elliptical at the gym and do spin class and a weight lifting class. Bottom line is...exercise is SO important when you are pregnant so i must give myself credit because i try and work hard. I feel better about being fat and I have more energy when i exercise and its good for the babies heart as well! So all you preggo's out there, don't skip over your morning run, it'll do you mighty good!

Going Back to School...

This is Harvard...i won't be going there this fall, but i will be going back to UVSC ( soon to be UVU...i must give myself a little credit). I have been itching to go back and finish my degree in health and nutrition and someday be a registered dietician. No time is the perfect time so i am jumping into it and gettin' 'er done! Wish me luck.

Home at last!

Things we did...Things we saw...
I spent the first couple of days in a small town called Othello, Wa. The rest of the time was spent in Seattle and surrounding areas.
First stop, SNOQUALAME FALLS- a HUGE beautiful natural waterfall in Seattle.

Next Stop- SAFECO FIELD. Mariners Vs. Red Sox. My cute father in law, Tyson and I enjoyed the game from the 7th row. People behind us caught a foul ball and the people in front of us spend over $100.00 on beer. WHAT?!

More cool stuff- Watching the "Blue Angels" fly over head from a friends house on Lake Washington. BEAUTIFUL and LOUD!

The Seattle Zoo...Owen was anxious to sit on the aligator and give me his best "cheese"!


After almost 2 weeks of being on vacation.. i have piles of laundry to do, a sick little boy to take care of and a messy, hot house to deal with....Lots to do so see you!
