Thats all folks...

As hard as it already is for me to have my lil bro growing up, graduating, and going on a mish, I got to watch his last ball games too!
Avery has been an amazing baseball player for many years now and I have been to thousands of games!
He has been an amazing pitcher, short stop, and third baseman. Not to mention hitting... he hit two out of the park home runs in his last month of high school ball!








He is amazing and I love him! (if you couldn't already tell)

Seminary Graduation!!

Ryder was the only one not happy!

I'm sooooo proud of Avery for graduating seminary! Like I told him, I think graduating seminary is just as important if not more important than graduating high school cause you're learning the most important stuff!



I hope he remembers everything he learned from his awesome teachers for the crazy 'real world' he is about to enter! Love you bum!!!! I'm sooo proud of you!

Cullinary School...






While babysitting, we had lots of fun with Chef Kannon and Chef Ellie!!

Old friends, good times!


After a lovely day in the temple for our friend Matt's wedding it was fun to visit at lunch with Jenn and Reily Roo, some of my oldest and dearest friends. Love these girls so much!!

My baby brother is not a baby anymore!


We went and saw Angels and Demons for Owen's birthday and then had a cake that said 'the path of light(a clip from the movie) leads to the red tahoe'. It took him WAY too long to figure it out... but when he finally did...
He found his gift, a wakeboard!
Dinner with the fam at outback.

I can't believe my little buddy is so old! Love you so much buddy!!! Hope you had a great bday! Now we just gotta get you out on the boat to use your gift! Love you more than you know!!

Our Cute little Poop!!

Ryder is so stinkin cute! We love him so much!!


He loves Uncle Justin!






One day he was crying and no one could calm him down so he laid down on Justin's chest and... Then he 'wriggled his way into Justin's armpit and was happy as a clam!!

Friends are fun!!

We had tons-o-fun with Adam and Kari this weekend watching race out at Miller Motorpark! We love playin with these guys, they are so much fun!

After the race we went and saw the new Star trek, I was highly impressed! Peace Baby!

Stockton the Soccer Pro!


It was so fun to go see our nephew Stockton play soccer! He is such an amazing little player! For sure when he is famous I will get you all autographs!

Visiting our moms

I am sure mother's day is different and hard for Justin now that his mom is no longer here. It felt good to go visit her at the cemetery and talk about how much he loves her. Today is also her birthday. I wish so badly I had known her and am excited for the day we meet! I'm only thankful for the amazing son she raised for me!
We also visited my grandma's grave. I miss her so much, words cannot express!! I wish I had one more day with her to tell her all I should have told her while she was still here. Never let those you love wonder how you feel about them! Like Garth says, What if tomorrow never comes??

Racing for a cure...

What a fun time we had again this year at the Susan Komen Race for a cure. It really is humbling and overwhelming to watch all the thousands and thousands (there were 18,000) of people, who have all been touched by breast cancer, run to earn money to cure this horrible disease!

We are lucky to be honoring my mom while she is still here with us and not to be amongst the millions that found their cancer too late. ****Ladies-GO GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS!!!**** I love my mom and don't know what I would do without her!
Our numbers grow every year!
Even the youngest member of our family joined in! (Ryder- 1 1/2 months)

We had a blast. Hopefully one day we won't have to be running anymore, we'll have a cure!!!

PiNk hAiR!!!

For the breast cancer race we had some fun putting pink in everyone's hair!
All the cool people who joined in the fun!

Even the boys joined in the fun, Kannon was a bit skeptical about having 'a girl color' in his hair but we talking him into it!
We even got creative with it! Ya, those did not last very long til he was going nuts and wanted them out!




If you want a fun colored hair extension in your hair let me know! I have Light pink, dark pink, light purple, dark purple, red, dark red, blue, and turquoise. Not to mention all the blondes and browns if you want a fun color panel or high or low lights!

Way Back Wednesday- Idol edition!

Since today was the American Idol finale... (My FAVORITE show EVER!) Here is a little flashback... 2 years ago at my American Idol finale party- My family was good sports for participating in my t-shirt making party and bbq before watching the Tivo-ed Season 6 finale. We were so excited to watch... 2 hours into the show...got right to the end... they are about to reveal the winner... its almost here... boom, our recording stops! We had to get on the internet and read who won! (it was Jordin Sparks)

I am soooo happy about the finale tonight! yay for KRIS ALLEN!!!! Although he may not be the best singer this season... (America totally dropped the ball on Danny Gokey, HELLO!) He totally deserved the win and I'm so excited he won over the much too cocky for me Adam Lambert.

Yay for Kris, his cute little wife, and for AMERICAN IDOL! The only disappointment is that now we have to wait 6 more months for another season!!
