My daughter...number 2

She is getting so big but she is still my little baby :)

She had to have chocolate cake with 2 candles and she sang Happy Birthday to herself all day.

Buzz Lightyear!!

My daughter wanted to take her friends to Classic Skating for her Birthday. We had so much fun. She is so great I just love her!

My little 10 year old. So beautiful :)

Birthday

My little brother Timmy has joined the United States Military. I am so proud of him! I think he will be great, a little worried and hope he stays safe, but so proud.

Football 2009. My son had a blast playing football this year. They even made it to the championships.

The fire truck, ambulance and police just came to my house. Apparently it is illegal to have a small fire in your back yard. My neighbors called the police because they were getting smoke in there house. Instead of coming over and asking us to put it out - I get to pay a large fine.

Can't wait for the SNOW.... really wanting to put my skies on. Anyone want to go to Argentina? I really should start saving my money and plan a trip next year.

"I hear what you say about enjoying the ride, but there’s also an inexplicable joy that comes from pushing the limits and seeing what you can accomplish. There’s a time and a place for both." One of my brothers friends whose name I wish I could remember

I know...I posted a ton of pictures, but I have a ton of family :)

More family from Green River. These are my brothers, sisters, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and kids. We took a few trips down the Green River up by Vernal Ut. We had so much fun! It was good to see some of my Aunts and Uncles. My Uncle Kent planned everything - the condos we stayed in, the food and the river run. He is so great.

She really liked being in the boat for about the first ten minutes but then she wanted to do something else, good thing she finally fell asleep - standing up :)

Some pictures from our green river trip. We had so much fun.

Whenever I'm in a downer mood I will usually pull out some mixing bowls and create something yummy. I love baking with nutmeg and cinnamon. I love the smell it brings to my kitchen - instant mood enhancer. Today's creation is Enlightened Zucchini Bread with fresh Zucchini I picked out of my garden this morning. There is something very satisfying in growing your own food. I think next week my tomatoes, onions and jalapenos will be ripe to bottle some salsa. I made enough salsa last year from vegetables grown in my garden to last until June, almost 1 year. This year I planted twice the amount of tomato plants so I hope I will have enough to give away a few bottles. Whenever I make salsa I instantly become wife of the year to my husband :)

Ran 4 miles this morning with no shin pain. I have had shin splints for 3 months. The trick....lavander oil from doTerra. Who knew it would be such a simple fix.

I went into the Bank today and on the front of the outside door it read "Please remove all dark glasses, hats, hoodies and ski masks before entering the bank." So I thought to myself, does anyone really accidentally wear their ski masks into the bank?

I think my greatest fear in life is forgetting the small and simple joys. I hope in the next life my memories will be clear and perfect. I hope I will remember how my children were in each of there life stages and how I felt when I was there age. What a joy it is to be a spectator in there lives. I am so blessed.

I am so sad tonight - I just found out Shane McConkey died last month. He was my Hero and I hope he is skiing the powder in heaven. Rest in peace friend! Thanks for inspiring me to push my limits. http://www.youtube.com/v/NtXt_UsZ4YQ&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cparam
