I'm not quite sure where June went. The boys stayed busy with baseball. They had a lot of fun playing. We celebrated Dylan's 7th birthday. He still has a mind of his own. Justin is crawling all over the place and has 7 teeth. It is hard to believe he will be 1 at the end of the month. Brenden has been a huge help around the house. He is a very good baby sitter and he is also my
lawn mower. Kolby is working on being helpful. He is usually out playing football. He loves the sport.

The Bippity Boppity Boobs

On Saturday I had the opportunity to participate in The Race for a Cure with my mom, sisters and wonderful friends. It was a very touching experience. There were over 18,000 people that participated in this event. It was very emotional to think that everyone there had been touched by cancer is some way. It was a very special day with some very special women. I am so grateful that I have my mom with me to do all of these great things. We had a wonderful weekend. We all laughed and cried.


My sister Lisa made this celebration cake. We drove down to Salt Lake City Friday afternoon. We went to dinner at Cafe Rio and then came back to the room for cake!

Sheri and Linda (our survivor and friend)

Me, my mom and friend Theresa just before our 5k began.

Our group. We were team "Bippity Boppity Boobs." This is a very special group of ladies and I am very honored to be part of it.

Baseball and more...

Brenden started baseball last week. You have to love spring in Idaho. It has been cold and windy. He wasn't sure he wanted to play ball this year but changed his mind last minute. I'm glad he did. He is quite good at it.

Brenden earned principal for a day at his school. He has had a really good year. He has earned over 300 accelerated reading points and he is also 1 test away from completing the 7th grade math library and he is only a 6th grader. We are very proud of this boy!

He reminds me of his dad in this picture. They look just alike.

The 2nd Chance Dance

A couple of weeks ago a group of friends decided it would be a lot of fun to go the the second chance dance that one of the local radio station hosts. All of our husband's were good sports and went along with the idea. It was such a fun night! We all went and had pedicures before the dance. How relaxing! That is something I should do more often. It was fun to dress up and go out. This was so much more fun than high school! It is funny how age makes you appreciate everything more.

Me, my mom (Jeanie), Sheri, Linda and Toni all waiting to start our pedicures

Myself and Linda before the big dance. Linda was such a good sport to go with us! She is a remarkable woman and breast cancer survivor!

Myself, my beautiful mom and the lovely Laurel...it was fun to dress up

The Amazing Race....Need I Say More

We died Easter eggs Saturday night and the boys had a lot of fun. I don't love the mess and usually end up throwing most of the eggs away. Joe is tired of egg salad sandwiches for lunch!

Dylan did most of his eggs green. He thought they represented Bonneville High School very well.

Here they are with their best egg! Justin was in bed. Maybe next year.
The boys did hold still long enough for a picture.

The Easter bunny did find our house!

Justin was just hanging out enjoying the beautiful weather!

Here we all are after our big AMAZING RACE! Joe, Kolby, Lisa and Kylie were on the winning team. They won a 100 Grand Bar and a lottery ticket with the hopes of a million. The kids and adults had a lot of fun. We were divided into 3 teams and headed off through the neighborhood. We even had a challenge were 1 team member had to eat a smoked oyster. Fun memories were created that day! Now grandma and grandpa will be expected to do this every year!

A new addition!

My baby sister had her first baby yesterday. What a neat experience that was! I was able to be in the room with her when Madison was born. I seem to forget how much work these little miracles are to bring into this world. We are very excited to have another girl in the family. My boys could not wait to meet her.

I feel guilty............

So I have to confess that I feel like a horrible mom! I let Dylan climb up to retrieve Christmas decorations that were still remaining. I have been waiting for Joe to help me and it just hasn't happened. I had looked at it long enough and Dylan volunteered to help, so I let him. I keep thinking what if he would have fallen. He loved every moment....not one of my finest.
