Voting by Mail

I love that I can vote by mail! It allows me to do it at a time that works for me and I can do online research as I vote. I feel a lot more informed about who and what I am voting for. Don't forget to vote this year!

Larsen's Annual Halloween Party

 Matt and Kerri always host a fantastic Halloween party in October!

 This year Michelle made a rat cake, Mom did not like it much!

 We had some great costumes this year,

 Spencer, Angie, Sadie, Afton, and hazel,

 Alaria, Claire, Josh, and Cole,

 Matt, Kerri, Alyssa, Kaitlyn, Saige, and Calvin,

 Marcus, Quincey, and Kylie!

 Of course the kids all enjoyed candy, but they had to watch out for Spencer the thief!

What a fun family party, thanks Larsens!

Beauty in My Own Backyard

 I like running on the Jordan River Parkway,

 as I look around the trail I see so much incredible beauty!

 God is so aware of me,

 I just need to open my eyes to see!

Fourth of July Weekend

 On the Fourth of July we had a great time in the park playing on the playground, having a round of kickball, and enjoying each other!

 Alaria, Avrey, and Quincey in the slide....

 Dad, Kris, and Clarie enjoying the fireworks!

 Early in the morning on the fifth of July we went to the balloon festival,

 the kids thought picking the pigs nose was so funny!

 We had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing the Kelly family while we were there.

Of course we had to ride in the truck, it just would not be tradition if we didn't!

Summer Fun

 A few days before the Fourth of July all of my siblings were in town and we had the chance to do some fun things! We enjoyed a great walk to the Edgemont park and a few days later headed up to Aspen Grove.

 Caleb, Mackenzie, and Malia, all growing up way to fast!

 Clarie and Kylie

 Mackenzie and Cory

 Steph, Marcus, and Jacob

 We had great tinfoil dinners and smores in the beauty of the mountains followed by....

 The traditional play, that never really makes any sense, but we love it!

 Kaden and Alyssa's costumes as just a sample of the creativity!

I am so blessed with such a wonderful family!

Girls Weekend

 For my 40th birthday my sisters and I spent an extended weekend in Park City, June 26-28, 2014. 

Pedicures, shopping, great conversation, and awesome food! If I have not said it before these are amazing women!

Road Trip

 On June 26th Julie and I drove from California to Utah with her kids.

 The kids got very creative with pipe cleaners on the road...

 when we arrived we spent the night at my house and enjoyed the swimming pool.

I was showing the kids some things from when I grew up and it was so fun to have Avrey try on the C is for Cookie sweater. What a blast from the past!

Santa Claus Beach, June 24, 2014

 I spent a beautiful day on Santa Claus Beach in Santa Barbara with the Lecheminants during my visit.

It was so nice to enjoy the ocean and the sunshine, but the most fun was spending time with family. I'm so blessed!
