Happy Birthday Cody!

Happy Birthday to my little borther Cody. He turns 21 today! I love you bro.

Some are silver and the other gold...

I have been thinking lately about friends. What makes a good friend? Why are friends so important? I have some pretty amazing friends in my life. Some old, some new, some younger, some older in age, some mormon, some who aren't, some I dont talk to very often, some I talk to everyday, and the one thing that is the same is that are all different. I admire and love each of them because they are each unique in their own way. I have been truly blessed with wonderful people in my life that have been there for me for tough times and great times. I can count on certain friends to be there when I am having a bad day just to help turn it around or listen...without judgment. Some friends are just good friends because I enjoy their company and like to be in their presence. I know that some people are not made for the whole "I'll be there when you need a shoulder to cry on" days and I really think thats okay. Because I think that we can count on different people for different things. But I love that I have friends who are there for it "all". Some of my dearest friends I have known for years and cant imagine not knowing them, even though phone calls and visits are sparce. I still love them and think of them often. And when I see them, tis like we havnt even missed a beat. I have made new friends that I feel like I have known my whole life and love them dearly already, our kids and husbands mesh and it seems as though we were seriously destined to be friends for some reason. I really love all of you. I am happy to share a part of my life with you. I just really feel grateful for my friends... you have changed my life, each in your own way and in your influence. And I want to Thank you for that. I have a quote on my myspace page tht says "We can't call people without wings Angels, so we call them Friends instead" And so I think that pretty much sums it up!

Weekend Getaway

This weekend we took the kids up to Durango for a little overnight getaway. It was so nice up there and we had such a relaxing time. We took the kids up to Durango Mountain where they have an alpine slide, bungee jump thing, a bouncy castle and a rock climb wall. The kids had a blast and the weather and scenery was absolutely great. It wasnt too hot and it smelled so nice. We stopped along the way and bought some honey, checked out the hot springs and then made our way to the hotel where wewent swimming and got in the hot tub. Brynley was loving the water so much she wanted to go "wimming" this morning and was even trying to get her suit on by herself. We walked downtown and got some chocolate as you can see in the picture where Brynley is covered in it! It was such a much needed trip, and its only an hour away! PS- Isnt my husband so handsome! Yum.

My new Addiction...

I finally gave into all my curiousity and I have started to read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. My stepmom Mary was here last weekend and is obsessed with the books, she even had this long conversation with the Waldenbooks guy about the movie and about the actors that were chosen to be in the movie. Seriously how could a book be this good. I have been in withdraw from Harry being over and havent found a book has exciting and has wonderful. So I have to be honest I was a bit skeptic at first as to why everyone is in love with the series but now after reading the first 7 chapters, I am hooked. I simply cant get enough of Bella and Edward and their love, hate relationship. I am excited to see what happens and will let you all know how I liked the book once I am finished.

Happy Father's Day...

Happy Father's Day to the dad's in my life. My dad, My hubby, my stepdad Phil, My grandpa Darrell and my grandpa Ted and my Father in law Sam. All of you are wonderful and I love you. I hope that my kids get the privilage of enjoying you all and get to have the wonderful memories in their life that you have shared in mine!
