It has been a while since I uploaded a video and the Grandparents made a special request. So here is K on her 4-wheeler. She is really getting the hang of it!
Then Abby has started doing the cutest thing so I had to get a shot of this as well:
How CUTE is that?!?!?

Est. 1999
Nine years ago today my highschool sweetheart and I said "I do"....
This also means that at this moment I have been with Jer for half of my life. (Including dating... yes, I am older than 18 even though I look like I am 12!)
Happy Anniversary Babe! It has been quite an adventure and I look forward to what the future holds for us and our family.
xoxo

Tour de Park City
This past weekend Jer participated in the Tour de Park City (170 miles)
So we tagged along for a little camping trip! It was so hot down in the valley so it was nice to get away to the Uintas where the weather was nice and cool. We had planned on camping in a campground but they were all full! We were getting pretty nervous but we just kept driving up the canyon and we came to this beautiful wildflower meadow and pulled over and picked a little spot sheltered by some trees. It was perfect! We had water in the trailer, our generator and a potty so we were set! It was way better than any pay site. We had plenty of space, a really nice fire pit and it was FREE. There were quite a few other groups but we were all secluded form each other pretty nicely so it was great.
Saturday was Jeremys ride so he left camp around 4:30 a.m. to drive down to the starting point. I just hung out with the girls. We picked wild flowers:
Played in the dirt:
and went on a little hike to the Provo River Falls:
Then we headed in to Park City. My thought was to hit the Outlet mall all day and then see Jer finish. It was so hot and it was Saturday so the outlet mall was insane. It was not fun. We lasted about 2 hours and then we headed towards the ride finish line. Abby finally fell asleep so we just hung out in the car with the A/C and let until she woke up. And then we waited..... and waited.... and waited.... ha ha ha. Finally at 7:20 p.m. Jer called and he was still about 20 miles out. He was exhausted, but he was going to make it! The girls had about enough and couldnt take much longer so we told Jer we were going to leave. I felt terrible but we still had an hour drive back to the campsite too! But we were hungry and K wanted pizza so I decided to get take out and we had a little picnic and waited.
It was actually a really cool moment. The race was basically over, and every one was packing up, so we were basically the only ones left. I just didnt have the heart to leave Jer and we really wanted to see him finish. But then I saw our friends Eric and Vanessa and they were still waiting for Jeremy too. So we had our own little cheering section for Jer and he figured we had all left him.
So about 9:00, 14 hours after he started riding, we finally see Jer coming over the hill. He was DEAD LAST....
But he finished! He did not give up and I was so glad we stayed to see him accomplish this. Way to go Honey! We love you!

Lazy weekend
I had a 5 day weekend this week but it was pretty un-eventful. Jer had to work and then the girls got sick. They both caught a bit of a stomach bug and are a bit pukey so we have basically been home bound. So you would think that I cleaned the house and did all the laundry right? Um, sure. Well we did do some laundry but then I decided to take advantage of Abbys sick naps (she naps SO GOOD when she is sick!) and I made a little crafty project! I saw a woman at work the other day with this cute little camera bag and my OCD kicked in and I just had to have one! I didnt want to spend the money though so I figured I would make one. I checked Etsy and found a few things that I liked so this is what I came up with:
Yes, I am QUITE proud! It has a zipper, I added padding for the camera, it is lined and has a little lined pocket in front and a clasp so I can hook it to my bag for easy access. WOW! I have never made anything this detailed before and I didnt do too bad. The one thing though.... you would think the strap would be last but it should have been FIRST so I had to rip out some stitches and then try my best to squeeze it in. The bag is only 4.5" wide so it was hard to get it in the machine to sew. Oh well... I still love it! I got this fabric to make some pillow and curtains for our basement but I love it so I wanted to use it for this too.
Then I also did some READING. Yes, I actually bought a book AND read some of it. I have been hearing so much about the Twilight series and it sounds like my kind of story so K and I sat outside today and I read for a bit. I made it through Ch 4 and so far its been pretty good!
My last book took me over a year to finish so we'll see if I can keep this up =)
