Sister's Weekend Getaway

We went to St George for the weekend with my sisters and mom. It was so relaxing and fun we had no kids and no worries! We shopped, ate and most of all relaxed getting pedicures, massages, taking in movies, and laying by the pool, what else could a mom of three little kids want? It was so fun to spend it with my 4 sisters, sister-in-law and mom. The only sad part of the trip was my picture taking abilities, I took my camera, bu tthis was the only picture that I took. It captures how much fun we were having and who spear headed the whole trip. That's mom!! You will have to check out my sister's blog to find out the rest of the details, she is much better at the blogging thing. Thanks Tami for capturing all the memories in pictures.

Gallbladder gone bad

Just yesterday I had to get my gallbladder removed. I was a little nervous, yes, me the nurse, I did get nervous, I have never had surgery before, but let me tell you I didn't feel a think. I remember Jared, the anesthesia guy giving me some versed and then the next thing I knew I was in recovery trying to cough and I had to use the bathroom. Since I work wiht these anesthesia guys they said I would wake up with a tatoo and my toes painted bright blue, well, when I woke up I didn't have either. They took really good care of me, I was really impressed. I have an amazing family and friends that take such good care of me. I love all of you so much!! I'm still on pain killers so some of this might not make any sense, but at least I am updating my blog right?

8 years down; a lifetime to go

Mark and I just had our 8 year anniversary on the 16th of June. The time goes by so fast. We spent a couple of days at Wolf Creek up Ogden canyon, it was very relaxing and a lot of fun. We have three beautiful children and eight years of great memories and many more to come. Mark, I love you very much thank you for making these past eight years the best ones yet!!

Fun Run 4 Kids

The Torres girls and Albie, Garrett and myself all decided to fun in a fun run 4 kids fundraiser race. Albie and Mailee were talking about it for weeks and had to do their training. Albie would go outside and run around the house to get ready for the race. Leesa and myself ran in a 5K first thing in the morning. We were a little nervous because we only trained two different days and that was two weeks ago, but we were able to do it and ran in at 31 minutes. We thought that was pretty good. Following our race the kids races began. Auja ran first, she had to run 100 yards. She wanted Leesa to hold her the whole time, so she wasn't able to finish. Garrett was next, he ran 1/4 mile. He was great I ran with him, and he was passing people like crazy. When he got done he wanted to do it again. Albie and Mailee ran next and they had to run 1/2 mile, which was two laps. Albie said she only wanted to run one lap, but she did it and did great. Finally the older girls Tia and Necia ran. they were duppose to run 1 mile, but after they finished the judge man said they had miscalculated and they actually ran 1.47 miles. Tia was the first girl to cross and Necia took 3rd for her age. They all did great, the kids seemed to have a lot of fun and said they want to do it again next year, maybe we can talk Mark into doing it with us next year!!

Hogle Zoo

Albie had her 1st field trip on friday, her Kindergarten class went to Hogle Zoo. We were able to meet her there and then she was able to come home with us. The kids loved it. Garrett loved the penguins and the train ride, Albie loved the monkeys and elephants. Mark and Haylie loved it all. My favorie part was spending time with the whole family. You'll have to check out the zoo when you can't think of anything to do.

St George

I know this is late, but we went to St. George a few weeks ago with the family, it was a blast. We spent most of the time in the pool. The kids are water ducks!!! Garrett wanted one of those body boards, but he would call it his snow board. He was so cute. He is a maniac in the water, as long as it is the baby pool. (I don't think he ever got in the big pool!) Albie and HAylie couldn't get enough. It was so fun!!

Stadium of Fire Tickets

I'm excited to say that I was able to get 4 Stadium of Fire tickets this year to see Miley Cirus!! My wonderful sister-in-law, Katie, was able to get me the tickets. We went out of town the weekend they went on sail so I left my order for Katie to get if she could, and she was able to get 10 tickets!! Yeah!! Anyway, I thought since July 4th is Albie's birthday she would love to see Hannah Montana in person!! So, that means we will have to do Albie's birhday a little different this year!! We will still have a blast, but I wanted to let you know that we got tickets!!
