Happy Birthday!!

Today is my nephew Bennett's 3rd birthday! It is also my sister-in-law, Rachel's birthday!! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Yesterday we went to a family party at Evergreen Park for Bennett's birthday. It was so fun to be around family, to act like a kid and play in the park!

Uncle Jake helped Bennett get to the top of the octagon bars. Bennett was pretending to be a Gladiator. He loves that show!

Fill the Ark 5K

On Saturday June 14th, Mom and I ran our second 5K this year. The Fill the Ark 5K helps save animals and people in third world countries. It was pretty hard cause I wasn't feeling well. But I still made 40th place out of around 600! and mom was second in her age group! Yahoo!!

Mom and I just got our numbers before the race

I'm walking up to the plate! Wish me luck!

Theres Jake's cousin Jane McKnight. She was super fast!!!I think she was like 2nd in my age group, but don't quote me on that. Anyways, what ever she placed, it was way a head of me.

Here I come, Almost to the finish line!!!


I ran back to be with mom after I went past the finish line. She's amazing! Oh and that stupid kid in the front tried to get in front of our picture!

P.S. Afterwards mom and I went hiking up east millcreek canyon to Salt Lake overlook. We are officially crazy!

I'm a Princess

I got this quiz from Jake's cousin's blog. It was pretty fun to do!

Which Disney Princess Are You?

You Are Esmerelda!

Mysterious and passionate. You are a survivor. Even though life has swung you some difficult situations you have a strong intuition that gets you through. Also, you have the capacity to sympathize and relate to a variety of different people.

Two Crazy Cooks.

On Friday the 6th Jake and I decided to pull out the dusty aprons and try cooking again. Of course Jake is really cooking and I'm listening what to do, but what was created that day was spectacular! We went with a traditional Spaghetti using ground turkey, Italian stewed tomatoes, and a sweet brown sugar Italian sauce. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. I wish you all could have enjoyed it!

I think Jake is so hungry that he is trying to eat my cute litttle face! ha ha

Lagoon!

Last Tuesday the 3rd. My mom was nice enough to get tickets to Lagoon for Jake and I for free! It was her Middle School's 9th grade Lagoon day so she was able to get us free faculty tickets. I know I have to greatest mom ever!

I love the Samurai ride, it's insane!
