What I have been up to!

1. Was in my first car accident on memorial day... I was just driving along minding my own business when a car that was pulled over to the side of the road decided to u-turn into me! She got the front, then we spun, and she hit the back too. We (sis and I) were fine, the car was not. It's still being worked on...

2. Went on a wakeboarding trip with the Young Women last weekend. I absolutely love being in Young Womens, and looks like I will be sticking around for a while longer now that I switched from adviser back to 1st counselor last sunday... whooohoooo! We spent the day swimming, sunburning, wakeboarding, tubing, boating, talking, and laughing! I love pretending I'm still a teenager!

3. We got brand new carpet installed a couple weeks ago. I am in LOVE! It has been so long since we've had decent carpet, oh wait, we have never had decent carpet! We had the privelege of choosing pretty much any carpet we wanted thanks to my brother in law that works for Mohawk!


kids like it too

4. Went to Tim Mcgraw a couple weeks ago with sister and some friends. It was the bomb. It reminded me of the good old days with high school friend Jenna blasting Tim on the way to school! Good times...



5. Sister has been here for a month now. I have loved it! We like to watch our tv shows together at night, go shopping, and get weird drinks at sonic! My best one yet is blue coconut sprite with pineapple! Thanks to my friends that helped welcome her it means a LOT to me!

6. Of course I am doing crafty things here and there. Here is my latest...

can you tell who is who?

7. I started a diet a week ago. It is my own diet that I made up because it works for me! It basically consists of being super healthy until dinner time. I never crave sweets until later in the day, so I just try to eat as healthy as possible, and then at night I just make a normal dinner (my family appreciates that too!), and then I still get to eat dessert too. There's just no way I could cut out sweets because it makes me go crazy! So far I am down 3 pounds in a week... Wooohooo! Hopefully I can finally lose the last 10 pounds I have been holding on to!

8. I started writing about the kids on this one so I had to remind myself, nope! This is not about them this time! haha

9. As I said in number 5 I've been loving the summer tv shows! My favorites are the Bachelorette, So You Think You Can Dance, The Hills, and The City. Don't judge me cause I watch the Hills. :) It reminds me of home!

10. Lastly, I have been gardening! My veggie garden is OK. Tomatoes, onions, carrots and string beans are growing, but squash, zucchini, and cucumbers still have not graced us with their presence. I replanted some yesterday so hopefully we can get some soon! I have also finished planting my rose garden, and flower gardens.

veggies including the millions of little weeds I have this year

Roses and Gladiolas

random flowers I thought were cute

Victory's wedding

My cute niece got married this past weekend! It was so great to be able to go through for her endowment and then sealing. I'm excited they live here in Albuquerque too!
I love how happy couples are when they first come out!




Just thought this was pretty!

Dance recital 2

Makenna had another dance recital this past weekend. She did sooo good! She is such a natural on stage, it kills me. She really loves it. There were probably 1500 people there watching, and she was not nervous at all. It was so cute!

Toe pointed and all!

These pics are from after the dress rehearsal so her hair's not done great, but she was being so funny I had to post them all here. That girl cracks me up!

This is after her recital. She LOOOVED the flowers! She's been excited for about 2 months to get flowers after her recital. I stinkin love that girl!

Joy school Grad

Makenna had her joy school graduation last week. I am sad to be done with joy school for now, but Makenna has had a really great two years doing it! Next year since she will still be home with me, we are going to try something a little different, but still a mommy pre-school. This girl is going to be SUPER ready for kindergarten!

They performed songs for us- adorable.

All the moms and kids in our group! Her friends are Katie, Tyler, Megan, Kaiden, and Stacie.. I have loved working with these moms and their ADORABLE kids. This group was seriously so cute and easy too! We had a really fun time.

Dance Recital 1

Makenna has been taking dance classes from a girl named Cassie from another ward. She has really loved it. They had their recital last Saturday and Makenna did so well! She did not have one ounce of shyness on stage and remembered all the dances really well.

I love how she could not resist a little wave! This is her snow white and the seven dwarfs dance.

Father/Son/Daughter Campout

Scott was super excited this year to be able to take Jace on his first father/son campout! Makenna was DYING to go too, and since girls are invited, he decided to take her along. Scott said they had a really good time. Having alone time for me was not too shabby too! I got to have a little GNO, stay up as late as I wanted, and sleep in as late as I wanted! (9am!!) haha It was great and a little weird, but I'll take it!

Meg's Wedding!

The main point of our trip was to go to Megan's wedding. She is one of my best friends from Carlsbad, and it was so awesome to see her get married! We were able to go to her sealing, and it was so beautiful. It's too bad the temple was being cleaned, it was (dare I say) a little ugly! I think the photographer got creative though, so I bet you can't even tell in her pics! :)


with Jenna, another best friend from high school. So much fun to catch up with her!

with the beautiful bride!

We got to have my parents all to ourselves this day. It was THE perfect day, and my kids got some really good grandma and grandpa time. We had a picnic, watched the sea lions, played frisbee, hung out on the beach, and took some family pics too. I miss San Diego!!!
