Breakfast Anyone?

The other morning I was up early and went to the basement to do some exercise. As I was exercising I kept hearing the pitter patter of little feet in the kitchen above me. When I finally finished and went upstairs I found sweet Miss M making pancakes for the entire family. She had done the project start to finish, getting out the stuff, mixing the batter, pouring the pancakes, flipping the pancakes, setting the table - it was amazing. Especially if you consider what a little thing she really is.....talk about Short Stack!

Phoenix Trip

We got to do a "sisters" trip to Phoenix. It was the first time back since my mother-in-law moved to Utah. We went to the cemetery in Mesa to decorate Bud's grave, attended church in the old ward, visited relatives and of course ate MEXICAN FOOD at Jordans!

2 Down 3 to Go!

Doodle graduated from Lone Peak at the end of May. I can't believe we have 2 kids out of High School already. It was a lovely evening, we had a nice dinner at The Macaroni Grill and then off to the Marriott Center for the 3 hour ceremony - but what can you expect with close to 700 kids graduating! It was a great night and then Doodle was off with her friends for the all night party.

Oh my how you are growing.....

When AB was a baby and dressed in her blessing dress, it was spring and the Phlox in front of the house were in full bloom. We set her in the Phlox and took her picture, she was only 2 months old. Every year since then we have taken her picture when the Phlox was in bloom. These are just a few of the pictures that I could locate quickly. Where has the time gone?

RACE FOR THE CURE

A few weeks ago we drove up to Salt Lake to run in the Race for the Cure - benefits go to help find a cure for breast cancer. It was amazing. How cool to be there with my cousin and 4 beautiful daughters and about 18,000 others all uniting for a cool cause. Below are some of my favorite pictures of people on race day!





After the race we got together for a girls, girls, girls day and went up to This is the Place State Park - just a note, it doesn't get into full swing until the last part of May, but it was still a fun day.

Newbery Award

The school gives out an award to the children who read 50 Newbery books - the award includes a cool trophy and $50! AB has been working on this for a while and although it came down to the wire, she made it. She was very proud of herself and so was I - it is quite an accomplishment. Way to go AB!
