Cooper's Run.

This is my amazing cousin Jana and her family. They lost their beautiful son a year ago. On the anniversary of his death they chose to organize a 5K run. What a great way to celebrate the life of Cooper. They thanked all the service people who helped on the day of his death and raised money for a scholarship to Cooper's preschool.

There were two fire engines, paramedics, a seat belt crash test ride for the kids, face painting, fully catered breakfast burritos and fruit, muffins etc., doves flying at the starting line, Target sponsored gift bags for the kids, Oh and did I mention the Medivac Helicopter landing for all the kids to see. It was amazing and inspiring. May we all handle our adversery with such grace.

We love you Jana, Cooper, and family.

Happy Anniversary. Ten Amazing Years.

For our ten year Anniversary we wanted to go somewhere great. We decided to go to the Canadian Rockies and see G-d's Beauty.

It was incredible. We went for 5 days without the kids!!!! I kept saying life isn't supposed to be this easy. The scenery was beyond and the company was perfect.

I am so lucky to walk this earth with my best friend. He is my perfect match, we never fight and really are a great team. Thanks for the most amazing ten years and here's to infinity and beyond. I love you Chris.

We also took in a music festival of a band we both love called The Trews. They are a Canadian band. The festival was total hippie fest and had no age limit the old people were dancin' right along with the young. Oh and note to Canada: sometimes covering up the fat makes you look more attractive then letting it all giggle free.

Camping.

To beat the heat we went camping up Cedar Mountain. We got the very last site which was so lucky. It was so fun and the river ran right past our campsite. The water was freezing. Why are kids immune to the cold. They played in the water for hours. It was so fun.

Swim Lessons.

Swim Lessons were so fun and the kids made leaps and bounds this year.

Independence Day.

I have been dying to make this cake and I did Dinner for Chris' family so it wasa good excuse. The cake was fabulous by the way.

This is one of my favorite Holidays. I love our Country and the freedoms it Provides. God Bless our troops and all who now fight, have fought and will fight for said freedom.

We celebrated with Serenity and her cute girls Elyzabeth and Lynzie. We had so much fun.

Disneyland!!!!

We had such a good time in Disneyland this year. Our kids were the perfect ages and were so good and happy. It rocked. Thanks Grandma Sandy.
