First Day of Kindergarten







Today was Brexten's First Day of Kindergarten and wow was he excited. Once we got all ready for school we went outside to snag some pictures and he would say "first day of kindergarten" instead of cheese for every shot. Although I thought I might be emotional when dropping him off, I didn't shed a tear. Mostly because we have both been looking forward to it, and also because now I could have a little break. Well not really because I do have Kembrie at home with me and we have definately outgrown naps, dang! I feel so blessed to have children and experience life with them even if that means having a fridge full of bedtime and potty sticker charts. How lucky I feel to have them.

It's Fabulous to be 30!




So I finally hit the big 30 and I feel fabulous! I have had a wonderful birthday month. It all started with a little challenge to run and half marathon with all my closest girlfriends. I finished my very first race ever when we all ran the Bear Lake half marathon in June. It was an amazing experience and I am so grateful to wonderful friends, and my IPod, who pushed me along the way. The first thing Bryan wanted to know when I was done, was would I run another one? and I said absolutely yes. It was that gratifying. When I got home my cute kids had drawn me a poster and got me some flowers. They were very interested in my medal! A few days later I celebrated my 30th Birthday. My cute husband made the most adorable candy gram poster with the kids and got me some fun games to play with my family. We had a great dinner at Olive Garden and my friend Cindi made a fabulous cake for me. It was a great day and I was especially glad to have spent it with my family.
