Blog Probs

I was messing around with my google+ account and deleted a bunch of photos in my files there (I never put them there in the first place, I think they just synced through my Picasa). There was a folder there though called "Blogger" which I left alone. All 900+ pictures from my blog are still there and viewable in that folder. HERE however, they're all missing! Anyone ever have an experience like this? Any ideas out there how I could fix this? I really don't want to start over :(

Water Babies

We joyfully welcomed a new addition to our family this summer. She is about 3500 lbs and 20.5 feet long :) 

Most of my favorite memories growing up are ones that were made on the lake. There is just something about being outside with your family under the warm sun with no technology stealing anyone's attention. I wanted that for our kids, so I finally talked Russ into a boat. Coleman LoVES it, as long as he can be the "driver" and Cade is our little thrill seeker who loves being towed. We collectively suck as fishermen, but we got to spend a lot of Saturdays this summer laughing, splashing, and relaxing. Now I am having serious seasonal depression since its time to put it away!





Love and Football

When we moved to Utah, Russ didn't know how he would survive without football. He jumped when the opportunity arose to buy U of U season tickets. Between those seats and a ridiculous cable package during FB season, he gets his fix. 



Soccer

Coleman started a soccer league this fall. He has no idea what's going on in the game, but he runs around smiling, doing summersaults, and looking stinking cute, so we keep going. The sweatband and his curly hair are probably my favorite part.



Courtney's Shower

I still can't wrap my brain around the fact that NiNi is getting married in a week. Time flies. She and Cedar are so perfect together though; I couldn't be more excited for her. Since I just can't help myself when it comes to celebrating something, I hosted her bridal shower and it turned out darling.... I put her to work that afternoon and made her do half of the work! Sorry Court! The party must go on!!




Redrock Relay

I had the opportunity to run a 180 mile relay race with 11 amazing girls. It was SO fun to have a break from school, kids, and the daily grind and run through beautiful Southern Utah. I especially loved beating Santa Clause... the man crazy fast ;)




Disney Live

What a day. R scored used some amazing seats on the fourth row at Disney Live. The boys paid didn't get too excited for Sophia the First, but when Jake and the Neverland Pirates came on, Cade about couldn't contain himself. Coleman liked the Ford signs around the venue more than anything. Cade had to have his ears covered, but after that he didn't stop smiling all night. It was pouring rain when we left, and we let the boys go crazy splashing in puddles.
