What a comfortable Couch!!

Whats New!

I Started my little planter box garden from seeds for the first time ever this year. Peas, Roma tomato's and Cherry tomatoes. I planted 4 tomato plants and they all grew. I planted 10 pea plants but only got three to grow. I am excited they are getting big and tall and doing really great!! Fresh veggies are the best I can taste them already !!
Sam has been exploring the outdoors and tends to throw tantrums when he does not get to play outside as long as he would like. He can't decide which he wants so stroller and car will do just fine!
Madee and I are playing with our new toy. This Nintendo DS is meant to entertain Madee on our long road trips this summer. Hopefully it will help with some of the boredom.
Sam will spend hours and hours steering this little cars steering wheel. Sitting in the car or standing outside of it he loves to drive already.
We recently went on our first family bike ride in the five years we have been married. Yup Family bike rides are the best. Madee even keeps up pretty good for a three year old. Its really fun and I love the we can bike together as a family.

Hiking Pleasant Grove Falls

We decided to explore some of the area we haven't yet. Being in Provo area for nearly five years we have never been to the Pleasant Grove Falls. Very pretty. The hike was about 1.2 miles and the kids did great!
Madee wanted to run threw the water under the falls.
We crossed a bridge on the way to the falls.
Past the cave.
Sam was heavy or I'm just out of shape. Probably both. We had fun though it was very pretty.

Camping trip gone sour or did it??

Everyone in the tent!!

Its Memorial weekend and we really wanted to go camping and told Madee that we would go. Well we go to find a site and they filled up way too quickly so we promised her a camping trip for another weekend. We ended up going to Ikea and getting a little play pop tent for her. She slept on her bedroom floor in this tent (all night). How will I ever get her to sleep in her bed again??

Photo Shoot

Kaytie my younger sister helped me take some pictures of the kids at the park. It was fun but some of the time they just didn't cooperate!
Sam loves the wood chips.

These are a few of my favorite things!!

Having my sisters so close and being able to get together and have BBQ's with them!!
Watching my little boy run excitedly toward dogs to pet them and listening to him talk more and more everyday!
Seeing Madee use her imagination and watching her get along so well with good friends.
Seeing Sam's hair now that he no longer has to wear his helmet anymore!
And My most favorite thing of all is this!!

Racing For a Cure

We really do have Lincoln to thank for this race. Novell is the company Lincoln works for and they registered 40 spots in the Race for a Cure 5k in Salt Lake City. This is fighting to stop Breast Cancer. So Lincoln got us in the race for free. Complementary of Novell.
Tricia is the Sister I have done tones of running with but not in the past couple years ever since she moved to Kearn's/West Jordon :( The Same sister I did a Marathon with. Running with my sister was so great to be able to do again. It brought back alot of great memories. It made me want to run more.
This race has tones of runners every year. We are talking around 17,000 walk/runners. It was insane. The Streets were filled and we were the middle of the mob of people.
We really did have the best time though. Thanks Lincoln for arranging this. It was so awesome.
