Memorial Day Weekend

At the last minute we decided to head to St. George for Memorial Day weekend! It was such a blast!! My mom and sister, Becky, were going to stop in Cedar City to check out the college, and my other sister Amanda and her fam, decided they were going to go, so we said, "why not?!"

Isn't this a cute Barbie, or what?!

Becky... always trying on shoes!


We just did the usual swimming, shopping, playing games, the boys went golfing, we went house hunting (Don't worry, not for now... but for future purposes!) and we just relaxed! The weather was perfect for the most part, so just a great weekend!!

Summer treats!

There are a few yummy treats that I just love about the warmer weather. One main one is the "snow shacks" or the "snowie's" or whatever you want to call those, but I love them! Black cherry to be more precise!
But another new favorite is this place in Bountiful called "Yogurt Stop". Such a great idea... you choose what kind of yogurt you want, add whatever toppings you want (I when I say "you", I mean you do it yourself!), then you give it to the cashier to weigh it in and you pay. I get whatever random mixture I want, and that's that. No extra money for the extras! Wonderful!

Mother's Day 2009

I have so many wonderful memories of today... Mother's Day! What an awesome day to remember our Mom's, and even the role of womanhood! I am so blessed to have so many wonderful influences in my life.
First and foremost, my mom!! What a woman! She and I tend to share a brain and I love it. She is my one of my very bestest friends and I love that she is so silly and weird with the rest of us! Words don't describe how amazing she is, but I just love her so much!!

My mother-in-law is also so amazing. What a self-giving woman she is. At a moments notice, she will do anything for anyone. Always willing to help and give advice and I am just lucky enough to say that I married into a great family! She did such a great job raising Jared, and I couldn't ask for more.
And finally, my role of being a mom today! I am feeling overwhelmed with joy at the sound of Zack playing with a toy on the blanket and making the little blah, blah, blah sounds right now! What a year we had watching him grow and make it one day at a time. I love everyday being a mom to him! And I am glad I have the opportunity to do it!!

How much better does life get today???
