July

I'm such a loser---I haven't posted in over a month! To all my fans out there--please forgive me! This is going to be quite the catch up and catch all blog so I don't blame any of you if you can't make it to the end. I know it will be quite a lot for one reading and not to mention all the stunning picture of me and my hot husband and not to mention my little one.....if case you've forgotten over the past month---he is the cutest little boy ever born! This summer Cash has turned into quite the little water baby. Above is a fun picture right before we headed to the Lindon pool---which by the way if you have kids it's the best pool ever! Although it looks like I have Cash in a chokehold I really don't so please don't call DCFS on me.


Kami bought Kai a water table for his b-day and the boys could literally play in it all day every day! They love it! And yes, sometimes we just take off their clothes and let them play in their onesies---I believe it gives meaning to white trash and I think they're in training for "wife-beater" tank tops in the near future.


Wow--Cash is a little excited don't you think? And just look below---that little grin just melts my heart and gets him whatever he wants!!!


For the July 4th weekend Jed and I made a quite trip to wine country in California to do visit some wineries and do a little testing. Kidding! Only kidding! We actually went for a wedding of our good friends Candace and Justin. It was so much fun and such a great little get -away. We rented a little convertible Nissan 350 Z while we were there which I thought would be so fun ----until I realized my husband was maniac behind the wheel! He seriously thought it was in the Indy 500 every time he got on the road. By the time we got to the reception ---which was on the other side of a very windy mountain---I was so car sick I thought I would die not to mention so mad at Jed I couldn't even talk for the first hour of the reception! I recovered and we both had a great time. The reception was so fun. Let's face it ---non-mormon receptions are WAY better than LDS punch and cookie receptions. People actually stay and hang out and dance and have a good time. I even got Jed to bust a move with me---dancing that is!

Next up was a trip to St. George to see my nieces and nephew sealed to their mom and step-dad in the St. George temple. Priceless. I expected to have bittersweet feelings because they were being sealed to their step-dad and not my brother but I didn't. It just felt right. I'm just so grateful that their parents are teaching them what's right and heading them in the right direction. Those kids will never forget that experience or the feelings they had in the temple. There is no doubt in my mind we will all be an eternal family. (whoa--teary eyed---moving on to next subject.)

And last thing on my catching up in July blog .......girls trip to San Fransisco with Karmen and Sarah. I could pretty much sum it up in a few words....shopping, eating, laughing, sleeping. It's so crazy to think they've been my best friends for 18 years. We've been through thick and thin (literally!) together. It doesn't matter what phase or our lives or the fact that we all live far apart from eachother---we remain the 3 stooges. I know there is nothing I could tell either of these two that would make them turn their back on me and not be my friend. Not many people can say that about one friend and I have it in two friends. I'm a lucky girl.

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay (got to love my employee discount!) We headed to Santa Cruz, Stanford, and San Fransisco. Above is a nice shot of Karmen and I at China Town. Below is a picture of us all at the hotel. We got plenty of shopping in---ok way too much actually. We had some great food and I got to sleep in every day---pretty much the highlight of my trip!!! We sat in the mineral spa at the hotel---we opted for the one where you had to wear clothes---I mean, come on--we're not THAT good of friends! We're already planning the next trip---but we might actually let the kids and husbands come this time....maybe!
