ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?

Today was the first day of practice for the 2009 season, and B'Elana's first day of real practice. Today was the last chance for her to make a final decision on if she really wanted to play or not. When she came back to us after, she still wanted to play. Notice the outfit....even if she is playing football, she's going to be all girl (pink shirt, pink shorts and pink butterfly cleats). Here's to my little girl trying something new.

13 and Fabulous!

Our baby girl turned 13 on July 10. Happy Birthday to our beautiful baby girl. We are so grateful that you are in our lives.

Here she is at one month old:

Forever Farmer

There was an Open House held on Granite High School' s campus as a last blast for the alumni. It was bittersweet to walk through the building and remember all the good times we had there. I will always be grateful for the experiences I had at Granite High School. The school definitely had a impact on my life and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go through the school one last time.
GO FARMERS!!!

Happy Father's Day

Mother's Day

I know this is really late, but I've been perfecting the pages. :)




For Mother's Day Jason and the girls took me to breakfast at my favorite breakfast place: Jim's Family Restaurant. We had an excellent breakfast and B'Elana gave me her picture that she made for me at school.


Later in the day we went to GG's house for dinner and socializing. Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! I hope everyone had a great day.

Decorating Eggs

We decorated eggs on Saturday. In addition to traditional eggs, we decided to do Rice Krispies eggs. We made 4 batches of the Rice Krispy eggs and 2 dozen regular colored eggs. When we made the Rice Krispies we put a different color in each of the 4 batches,red, blue, green and purple. We used plastic eggs to mold the eggs, but had a little trouble with keeping the purple ones together. After we molded the eggs, we used frosting and sprinkles to decorate the eggs. We also melted some chocolate chips and dipped the eggs. After we finished with those we decorated our boiled eggs. We had a great time decorating all the eggs and they were all ready for the Easter Bunny.

Easter Brunch

We've tried to make it an Easter Tradition to go to an Easter Brunch, this year we went to the Gathering Place in Gardner Village. We invited Robbi and Carla. It was nice to catch up with them. We are going to have them come and be part of this tradition every year.
