TRAX

Yesterday the boys and I road TRAX to City Creek.

I wanted to do some shopping and I thought the boys would have fun riding the train.

We didn't get as much shopping done as I would have liked to....

but the boys had so much fun.  

They loved seeing the fish and walking around.

Bridger fell fast asleep on the TRAX ride home.

RAGNAR 2012

 Last weekend I ran the Wasatch Back!!!! aka Ragnar

I was invited to be on a team with some girls in my ward.

It was so much fun training with and getting to know them.

We were van #2, so we started Friday at noon near Ogden.

My first leg was only about 3.5 miles,

My 2nd leg was 7 miles at around 11 pm.  

Even though it was late, this was my favorite run!

The night weather was the perfect temperature.

My last leg was at 10:30 am on Saturday and was 5.5 miles.

It had a lot of up hill and it was HOT!

I was more than happy to Be done with that run.

Overall our team did great.... we finished in around 31 hours.

Scott came and met me in Park City and we stayed the night there.

Needless to say.... I was ready for some sleep!

a lost tooth,

This cute boy lost his 1st tooth on Monday....

He then accidentally spit out the cookie dough he was eating, and swallowed his tooth!

After claiming that he was going to throw it up,

I convinced him that he could write a letter to the Tooth Fairy.

His letter read,

Tooth Fairy

I lost my tooth,

it is in my tummy.

Dakota

.... and the Tooth Fairy loved his letter :-)

St. George & Instagram

We spent Memorial Day Weekend in St.George.

Autumn and Matt joined us along with Daniel 

(who we convinced to come along and do some baby sitting for us.)

We had so much fun....

the highlights of the trip were going to Vegas and Zions!

Dakota and Bridger would have been happy just swimming at the pool all day long.

We had some serious sunburns going on by the last day.

Ala Vera for everyone!

I also discovered Instagram and obviously was smitten with it :-)

Fish Lake,

 

This past weekend we spent 2 nights at Fish Lake.

Dakota has been obsessed with fishing this year so he had so much fun!!!

He caught 10 fish!!!

Scott had so much fun helping him and 

Dakota even did some casting on his own too!

It was a chilly, but fun weekend.

Curtains

For some reason I have never really done a lot with curtains at our previous houses.

I love them, but I just never know what to get and they always seem so expensive.

I decided to go for it in our new house and wanted to start with our bedroom.

I found some great deals on fabric and a family friend, Tami made them for me.

I love how they turned out, and feel that they complete the room.

I also decided to do something for our half bath.... this is kind of a weird angle :-)

Hawaii, the end

On our last night in Hawaii we went to a restaurant called The Beach House.

It was right on the ocean and was the perfect way to end our trip.

I was really starting to miss the boys.... 

but it was hard to believe that our trip was almost over 

after almost a year of planning and excitement. 

The next day we packed up and went on a bike ride.  

Right as we finished up it started to rain and apparently it didn't stop for a week.

It did make it a little bit easier to leave with out of control rain, pouring down. 

 This was the happy little face that greeted me, 

which I had been just dying to see :-)
