The Race For The Cure

I love the Race For The Cure. Every year Kami and I take our families and join with thousands of people to celebrate the survivor's, miss those that are gone and fight for a cure to breast cancer. Kami's mom, Grandma Nona, is a 5 year survivor, and her best friend Amy Webb died from breast cancer. I love being there!

Three Cheers for the red, white and Isaac!

Well another Preschool year has ended! I can't believe that Isaac has had his third and final preschool graduation! I love preschool! I love watching all of the kids grow and learn. My sweet Isaac has learned so much and is so ready for Kindergarten!

Saturday we had graduation at Jamie's new house. The kids were so good! They sang their songs and followed directions, and were so stinking cute! Lucas thought he had to sit with Isaac the whole time, and Isaac kindly let him!

I can't believe that this is the last year I'll do preschool with Kami! We've been doing this together since Tyler and Brynlee! I can't believe that this is the end of the 7th year! WOW!

I LOVE preschool!!

David and Sinda.....The wedding of the year!

Well, I have a new sister now! David and Sinda had a great wedding week! I say wedding because it started on Wednesday. Sinda went through the Temple Wednesday night so we all trucked down to Draper (With Kami and Brynlee in tow to watch the kids!). It was my first time in the Draper temple other than the tour, and it was great!

Then on Thursday we had the wedding dinner at the Asian Star. It was also great! We had the coolest table there HEHEHE! It was so great to see so many people that I love but don't see very often. Isaac however didn't like that the dinner was served in courses because he "got all full before the really good stuff came"!! Silly boy!

Friday was the big day! The wedding of course came second to Matt's birthday, but it was still pretty cool! Melissa and Jon met us at the temple to watch all of the boys (8 with mine and mary's!) The sealing was great and the weather made for some pretty pictures!

We then let Matt choose where to eat dinner.....Chuck-A-Rama.....and Melissa met us there for a quick Birthday dinner before heading to the reception!

The Cake WAS AWESOME!!!!! I think it's the cutest one I've ever seen! They had a yummy ice cream bar, and we even had dancing!!!

I'm so happy to have Sinda in the family and to see David so happy!

My Sweet Matt

Yea!!! He's 8! I cannot believe that my sweet little Matt is already 8! I swear I was just pregnant with him. There was never a cuter little baby. He was 8 lbs 11 1/2 ounces and 22 inches long. And he gained from day one. You'd never know now, but Matt was HUGE as a baby! And he was happy ALL of the time! He's still my best sleeper! Matt has a quiet goodness that I am so thankful for. In fact I almost envy his quiet goodness. He is stalwart. He listens and obeys, and is the greatest brother on the planet. I love my little (not!) Matty Matt!

Isaac's first lost tooth!!!!!!!

YEA!!! This morning I woke up and came out to the kitchen to find Isaac in a GREAT mood. He was jumping up and down and when I asked him what was up he showed me his loose tooth! He's been waiting forever to lose a tooth! Mike had told him to eat an apple to loosen it up a bit more and with every Bite Isaac Isaac would twist the apple and then explain that it helped loosen the tooth. He was so cute and so nervous! Finally I asked him if he wanted Dad to pull it. He said that Mike could try and see what he thought. The tooth was pulled and out before Isaac even realized that Mike had touched it! The first thing he did was call Zach. Thankfully Zach hadn't left for school yet! And then he called Grandma. A first lost tooth is VERY BIG DEAL and I am so excited for My sweet IZ!

Yummy Ice cream!

Last Saturday Mike and I promised the boys that if they got their chores done quickly we'd go to Farr's for an ice cream cone! Matt, Isaac and Lucas were all so excited because that meant that they could get some play dough Ice cream! (Ty's moved on to ice cream that actually tastes good!) Anyway as were were sitting there Mike tried to get Nick to eat some. (He'd been sick and REFUSING TO EAT anything) At first he turned his nose up at it. But then he got a little taste and went NUTS! It was hilarious! I wish we'd had our camera, but I guess Mikes phone did alright!

Happy Birthday Dad

Well, Today's my Dad's Birthday. He's been gone 8 years now and in a lot of ways it feels like it was yesterday.

There are a lot of things that weren't so great, but that's where the Atonement comes in. I am just thankful that I can leave it all up to the Lord and just love my Dad. I'm thankful for forgiveness and the choices I have made to just forgive and move on. My heart is much happier that way.

There are also a lot of good things that came from Dad, and I embrace and cherish those things. I wouldn't be me without him!

Love you Dad
