Waaaahhhooooo!!!

I did it! My first 10K and crossed the finish line in just under and hour. I think it was 57 min. It was such a blur, I was so excited to be done. The weather was great and it wasn't too hot.

Trying not to laugh, I saw a guy on the side of the road barfing up his guts just after mile two ......... in my head I was thinking that some people take these fun runs WAY TOO SERIOUSLY... And MAN WERE THERE A TON OF PEOPLE THAT HAD SOME SERIOUS BODY ODOR. It was poisoning the much needed clean air that it was trying to inhale. :) Then at the end it couldn't have gotten any worse when all of the sweaty people were herded through a small area of fruit and bagels...... stuffy and sweaty mmmmmmm lets take a bite of that bagel. Your chances of getting someone elses sweat all over the bagel were so high that I used my hand to shield it..I wanted it pretty bad :)

We almost didn't make it. Thanks to Shane and his great driving skills (which happened to be the first time that I witnessed him passing others on the freeway) he got me to the start line with 2 min to spare. Shane was such a trooper. Last night he didn't get home from work until 11pm due to a Life Flight that he had to go on. Luckily it was only to Wyoming. So he was running off of 4 hrs of sleep.


Here are my cheerleaders at the finish line :)


I don't have to worry about Levi not eating his Veggies. He loves his carrots and celery!


This is Levi's favorite book. Isn't he so cute. I had to post it.

Megan is finally MARRIED !!!

CHAR THANKS SO MUCH!! I OWE YOU BIG TIME.
Megan and Nick were married in the South Jordan Temple Saturday July 12th at 11:30am. She was so pretty. I was not able to get pictures with my camera due to Levi FREAKING OUT most of the time, but I will get some posted soon.

The weather was great.... a bit hot....but survivable :)

The Reception

This was the only photo that I was able to capture with my camera. Again Levi was definately dealing with mommy withdrawls. Every time I would take out the camera he would instantly grab it and the picture would be blurred. I will post them as soon as I get some.




Gabby took these photos, I just stole them from his blog :)

Megan had an outdoor reception in Peterson, Ut





Which turned out perfect. The kids loved the chocolate fountain (who wouldn't) along with the strawberries, pretzels and rice crispies. My cousin did an amazing job on the wedding cake. ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!!! And yes Marcela you need to start a professional cake decorating business.

Afternoon at the Pool

Cute Addie!



Sweet Aubree!
Adorable Austin!
Cute Addie!

Levi had a blast.

He loved playing with his cousins, and I enjoyed spending time with Liz.

WOW what a Month

These last few weeks have been really crazy.

Shane and I put in our front yard -HURRAY-,

To any of you out there that want to put in a drip system for your yard or garden I highly recommend it. You control how much water gets to each plant/tree/shrub. After you put it in you can always add new lines to new plants. The one thing that I suggest is not to get the tubing that has the holes already there. You have less control of where you plant things. You can over water or even underwater your plants. There is a lot of twisting and bending therefore needing much more tubing. It is really easy to do once you have your funny pipe in place.

Next ...



We had our basement framed!



This will be the future family room/theater room. We knock down a door pop out so that the room would be bigger, that is why the carpet is ticking out into the room.









I am standing in Levi's future room looking toward the hallway and an adjacent bedroom.












This is the basement bathroom.





The guys that framed our basement were AMAZING! (Big Z Construction) I also had some shelves put in my fruit room (so excited about that one) and they will be coming back in a month to do shelves in our garage and closing off our office walls so that it is more of a separate room.

We have had so much rain in the past week. The first day that it was nice, Levi and I went to his favorite park and played on the swings!
