What We Doing

Our family has had a relatively eventful Spring. We spent some time with family at the East Canyon condo for dinner. Drinks were served and I had my first (virgin) Bloody Mary. Chad's Aunt DoraLee made it for me and apparently forgot the Worcester sauce. I said "This is my first Bloody Mary and you made it wrong?" I think it may have ruined my expectations. :)

Chad's cousin Erin was so sweet to Maura.

Maura can now pull herself to a standing position. The honeymoon is OVER.

Some of us Redmond Alumni got together. Nickie throws a heck of a Pampered Chef party. It's just not a real party without someone selling Mary Kay/Pampered Chef/Lia Sophia/scrapbooking supplies/candles, but this was the best I've ever been to! We had fun catching up.

(Nickie, Andrea, Maura and I)

Apparently I washed my hair with a bottle of (virgin) olive oil that day. Andrea and I switched babies. Maybe she'll consider making a permanent trade? Her kid is pretty cute.


And it's not a Girl's Camp certification hike unless someone picks up a bull snake at the peak of the hike. This 10-mile hike was brutal. It was a reality check as to how out of shape I truly am. I had the insane idea that hauling Maura up and down the stairs at Hotel Inlaws was enough exercise for me, but I was proven wrong.

♥ It all looks like fun! I've never had a bloody mary but the worchersire sauce doesn't sound that great in a drink? :)

And that is why I stick to Root Beer!

Are you the ward camp specialist or something?! *snicker* The idea of that really makes me laugh for some reason.

From what I hear, you did great on that hike! :) And, no, I do not claim any of the children who actually chose to TOUCH said snake. They are not mine! (thanks for being so kind to them, BTW, it means a lot to me)

You're good to hike Maura up there! Stairs is what I consider exercise at my house too. I'm going to be in trouble! Thanks for the warning!

Hey Heather! I'm so happy to hear from you! You will never know how happy I was way back when I heard that you were prego! And now your daughter is beautiful! I'm sorry to hear that Chad needs a liver transplant, that's no fun. We'll keep you in our prayers! Keep in touch!
