Three Cheers for Mom!

Go MOM!!!

This is just a little shout out to my wonderful mother! She is the most amazing mother anyone could ask for and she has an incredible amount of patience to put up with me as her daughter. Like all you mothers or soon to be mothers, she doesnt get the kind of praise and credit she should for all the non stop work and service for her family, friends and co-workers. I know i have taken her for granted for years and expected so much out of her that she could have easily said "figure it out yourself" but she never stops caring and loving everyone around her. She is so fun to be around and is always positive and happy about life. I love her so much! Thanks mom for being everything i could ever want in a mother!

Here are a few reasons why she is number one in my book:

She loves her grandkids with all her heart and would do anything to make them happy. (sorry i dont have a picture of all 4 of them...i'm not the photographer in the family)

She's my number one fan and supporter in anything i want to do!

She appreciates the wonderful art BYU has to offer...or is willing to take a random picture with me of it(:

She takes random trips to St. George just to be with me...and watch 90 year old ladies tap dance at Tuachan!

WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY!

24th of July

Since the 24th of July fell on a thursday and i had the priveledge of going to school the next day, i couldnt take the trip to the cabin with the family (i know your all muttering that i wouldnt have gone anyway BUT i would have, so stop thinking it right now!) Jill, being the great big sister that she is, invited me to come down and hang out with her cute little family for the day. We had so much fun going to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point for a little bit. Lexi loved the chickens and waved hello and goodbye each time she went to see a new animal. She also like feeding them corn. I dont have any pictures but i know jill took some so hopefully she'll put a couple cute ones up because Lexi was a doll!

Then we hung out at the pool with some of Jill's friends. Lexi was so sweet and we played Motorboat and Ring around the Rosies in the pool. She is such a little fish and i love watching her run around in her cute little swimsuits with matching bows!

I think Lexi is starting to like her Aunt Dee!!! I love you Lexi!!!

Good times with friends

Some of my old friends got together for last weekend for some intensive food, sand volleyball, and ice blocking at the park. It was so fun to see everyone and watch the guys make fools of themselves as they slid down the hill at Flat Iron Park.
I think Blake was a little nervous to try and go through my legs down the hill...don't worry i moved just in time.

Me and my best friend Haley!!!

Here's a genius idea...lets push them down the hill and make them go faster than they already are...then lets watch them fall off and roll the rest of the way down the hill!

Say cheese! And as a side note...the sprinklers go off around 9:00pm...we found that out the hard way and when we went back to pack up all of our food and stuff, there was nothing left to salvage. It was all destroyed by water, if water can destroy plastic...well, atleast it destroyed the hamburger buns.

4th of July

Zach came home for the 4th of July weekend and I was SO HAPPY! I couldn't ask for anything more. He flew in Friday night and we went out to Brent and Amy's for dinner and fireworks with the cute kids. Saturday morning we left for a short St. George trip with Zach's family. We played tons of card games, hung out by the pool and hit up the new IN-N-OUT drive thru on our little excursion. We got a little sun but it really was too hot to stay outside for a long time. I was so happy to get away from school for a couple days and to see Zach. Only a few more weeks and he is home for good! YAY!

We took a little break in Beaver and look what he found....such a little kid(:

Zach's brother's kitchen sink broke...so he spent most of sunday night trying to fix it. Unfortunately, his cloroxed pants wont be making it to next fall. The got ruined in the process but it was all worth it when the kitchen wasn't flooded anymore.

My family had a family reunion that weekend so we stopped by on our way back from St. George. We took a short detour and stopped by the huge windmills in Springeville after the reunion so we could take a picture next to them.

Summer Catch~up

Okay, i'll finally seriously get started on this blogging thing. It just takes me forever to figure anything out and I'm too lazy to take the time to do it. Hopefully this will be a succesful post and catch my three avid readers up to date on my summer...

Ragnar Relay 2008

So, middle of June, my dear neighbor Ashley forced me into running the Wasatch Back Relay Race. Each team has up to 12 team members and everyone takes turns running various legs (in miles) from around 3-8 miles each. I dont think I was totally ready for it but it was definately worth it. We started Friday morning and finished Saturday afternoon. My mom, Amy, and Jodie came up to see us cross the finish line. Man was i so happy to be done! I'm not quite sure if i want to do it again next year...still thinking about that one.

I know i look goofy in this picture but i dont have one of the entire team so this one will have to do.

Ashley and me at the top of an enormous hill she just ran up! It was such a pretty view from the top.
