Saying Good-Bye

My brother Matt and his cute wife Lynette moved to Washington for Pharmacy school. They moved when she was nine months pregnant. I'm so sad to see them leave, but excited for their new adventures.

The night crew. I've had so many friends from work move and get new jobs. My dear friend Sheena moved to Vegas. This was her last night at work, my second night back from maternity leave and my first night charging. I was hoping for a nice, quiet night. So did not happen. At least we found time to make "breakfast." Yes, I bring my huge, heavy waffle maker to work so we can make waffles, bacon and hash browns. Whenever Sheena and I would work together, we would always make a yummy dinner...or should I say breakfast!

Kalli on her first day of Kindergarten. What? Where did the last five years go?

Kalli waving good-bye. I kept promising myself that I wouldn't cry. I was doing well, until she walked on the bus, looked back at me and waved good-bye. I completely lost it. I was an emotional wreck. Ugh. Thank goodness for big rock star sunglasses. I guess I'm not good at saying good-bye.

Park City

We spent Labor Day weekend in Park City with Blake's family. Shawn was in town, and it was fun for everyone to get together. We went swimming, shopping, rode on the gondola (the kids loved it), went on a bike ride, hiking, face painting and just hanging out with family. Oh, how I love Park City!!

Snow Cones

The perfect summer treat.

Silly Monkey!

I heart my boys!!

Fish Farm

We had a fun-filled Saturday at the fish farm, hanging out with cousins and BBQing.

Carver's Cove

We went to a petting farm/zoo in Eden called Carver's Cove. Kalli and Kamden had so much fun feeding and learning about the different animals. They fed goats, bunnies, horses, baby colts and cows. The kids also rode horses and a stagecoach. So much fun!!! Kalli feeding the animals. She was a little nervous.

Kamden riding the horse. At first, he was a little afraid. But once he got on, he didn't want to get back off.

Kalli riding the horse. Such a fun day with family and friends. This will definitely be a summer tradition!

Pediatric Nurses

I love these girls!! I have the best co-workers. Look at all the babies!

Summer Fun

We spent part of the summer in St. George enjoying the HOT weather. The kiddos enjoyed swimming, playing with friends, the park and eating popsicles. Blake and I had a fun date night with the Baker family (our first date night without the little guy). We ate Thai food and Sushi, went go-kart racing and played miniature golf.

We also spent time at the dinosaur park and hanging out with the Baldwin family!! I was sooo hoping that they would come back to UTAH after finishing dental school. However, Kevin was given a great opportunity/practice in Corvallis, Oregon. Road trip anyone??

Summer Camp!

The kids have loved their Summer Learning Camp! They traveled the world in 5 days, learned about the creepy, crawly critters, celebrated the red, white and blue and had a fun space and science exploration!
