Sassy the "SupaStar"

My sweet Sass and her cousins put on a lovely production of songs and then after they were done told us they needed a photo shoot.... It was a lot of fun seeing my husband go to the job of photographer instead of me. He did a great job. I did the silly edit's.

Next up The Race For The Cure

I feel honored to have 2 Grandma's who have fought the terrible battle of cancer and won it. I am sooo proud of my Grandma Sorensen. I love her and feel blessed by her. It was awesome to walk as a whole family (minus just a couple of people.) with her. She is amazing. They announced her team and we screamed for her.
It was a bitter sweet day for me too because my Grandma Sandberg wasn't there. She passed away last July and my heart just thought of other moment's I've had with her while she was alive.
I was also proud of Sassy and Gus who walked the whole entire way. Boo-Boo walked for a little ways.

Lot's of posts... 1st up park city

We went up to park city for the day..... a couple of Saturdays ago. It was as usual lot's of fun and my kids love the pool, me not so much. I'm mostly an observer of pool activities. Boo is a very skeptical and cautious person. (Takes after me) so it took a lot of persuasion to get him to finally get in the pool and he hung on for dear life. My other kids are fish and love to be thrown, do flips and have big water fights.

My Weeping Cherry Tree 2010

I just love this little tree. I posted pictures of it last year too when it bloomed. I guess it's a tradition along with the giant bumble bee's that we get in the summer. The blooms didn't last very long this year because of all the weirdo weather we've been having, but it is one of my favorite things about spring time. I love pink. It's my favorite color. I love the little blossom's. They remind me of the new and fresh of life.

boo-boo being silly.

While we were planting a garden the kids got a little side-tracked and played in the hose, jumped on the tramp and ate Popsicles.

Our Garden....

While last year we planted one zucchini plant, one tomato plant and one strawberry plant... we had a good little harvest....

This year we planted a lot of things....

9 tomato plants, sweet peas, carrots, really big pumpkins, zucchini, jalapeno, cantaloupe, cilantro and our little strawberry plant from last year is starting to branch out.... Bigger. We stayed outside for most of Saturday and I'll just say I'm am one toasty roasty Mom.... the sunburn isn't so fun.
We feel good about the progress that we've made this year in consideration of what we had last.

Easter

Our Easter was filled with lot's of family, General Conference and ton's of CANDY!!!!

The Last of Winter????

Is It Really????? I sure hope so. All of this random weather is really silly.

Gus Man Get's Hurt

I took my Boo- boo to the doctor on Tuesday to get his kindergarten shots and have his check up and when I went to pick the other kids up from school this is what I saw..... At first I thought someone beat Gus up. {He's really likable, so I was kind of sitting there with my jaw dropped trying to think of who would hurt my little boy} He wasn't. He was playing basketball and tripped over a friends foot and his little face decided to skid across the cement and land in some mud. The front office called our house and my Mo-In-Law answered the phone because I was at the doctor's. This little man is a champ. He decided to stay at school and Each day the bruising comes out a little bit more and his ouchie's are starting to scab and heal over.
{we are using ton's of triple action antibiotic cream. He hates the stuff.}

So Blessed By You: Sweet Young Women's!!!

Our ward split this last Sunday and we lost about half of our Young Women so for our last activity tonight we had a "book signing." We each wrote a quote or scripture and then a little note to each other. I am very sad to see so many move into a different ward boundary. We missed the girls that couldn't make it. I have had the most amazing 17 months with all the girls. It's been an amazing journey for me in this calling. I'm the Laurel adviser and this has been my absolute favorite calling EVER. I feel like Heavenly Father put me in this calling to help me learn and grow too. I remember being in Young Women's and loving it soooo much. There are leaders that I will always remember and love. They helped me in many ways. I hope that the girls that I've gotten to work with know how much I love them. They are seriously some very talented, amazing, funny and spiritual girls. I have also made some dear friends for life with the leaders. They are such talented women and mom's. I can honestly say that working with them has helped me to crawl back out of the shell that I've been in over these past few years. They with the girls have helped me to find the Funny, Happy go lucky me again.

I have also been working on my personal progress as a leader and I'm very close to receiving my medallion again. I cannot express enough gratitude to the Lord for blessing me with such amazing people and a great opportunity. It has been such a gift to me. I have loved every minute of it.
