More Updates for June

Summer has only begun and I already feel like there's lots to update. First off we had to say farewell to a girl that is like another sister to me. Max lived with my parents for a year while with an exchange program and she has fit in so perfect with our family. I will miss her so much but I am so grateful to have gotten to know her. I hope she learned as much from us as we learned from her. Love you Max and hope to come visit you in Spain one day:)

All the girls the day before she left:(

Back in April me, my mom, my sister, cousins, and aunts all ran the Realy section in the Ogden Marathon. And although I just ran the relay section it was still an accomplishment and maybe just maybe someday I will run a full marathon. (Highly doubt it though:) The race was very special to us all, we ran for my sweet nephew, Daniel Mark Jones. He passed away Thursday, May 19th and we ran the race a couple days later Saturday, May 21st. It was easy to keep going having him as our motivation. My mom, who is the most proud grandma there is, demolished everyone's times and ran the fastest she ever has. She said all she thought about was baby Dan. We sure miss our Miracle Dan but are so grateful he blessed our lives. We feel so lucky to know such a perfect angel.

(Here are the pins my Aunt made for us to wear during the race.)

Happy Birthday Hubby!

This last week has been filled with Brithday celebrations for my sweet hubby. He is 27 years young:) I love him more and more everyday and I'm so thankful he is in my life, he deserves nothing but the best on his birthday... so I made him the best present ever: Fruit Pizza

We started the celebrations off by going to Goodwood on Friday night with some close friends. Nash picked Goodwood because of their chicken sandwhich:) Then on Saturday Nash's dad threw him a BBQ in the afternoon. It was lots of fun and we were able to see our cute neice and nephew. After a nice long nap we did a little shopping (Nash's kind of shopping which is at the sports stores only lol) and then went to Cold Stone for some ice cream with friends. We ended the night by playing some cards at Lance and Malena's. Thanks guys it was lots of fun. The weekend parties ended on Sunday with a BBQ at my parents house for Nash and Lindsay's b-days and Max's going away party. I hope Nash had as much fun as I did this weekend. I sure love birthday celebrations!

I also wanted to give a birhtday shout out to my wonderful sister Lindsay. Hope you had a good birthday Linds. I love ya lots and think your one of the bravest and strongest women I have ever met. I know that Dan is looking down on you and feeling so proud and lucky to call you his mom:)
