St Charles Peeps

Laurel got married and instead of a traditional reception she threw an awesome party in the park.  I got to see so many of my friends from St. Charles.  These were the kids in my youth programs and high school.  The ones I went to seminary with, and young women's camp, youth conference and dances.  We were small in numbers but had some great times.   Laurel's dad was the bishop when I was a youth and he was there and came up to us and said how happy it made him to see us still friends and still in the church.  It really is amazing that you can go 20 years without seeing someone and you are still close and have tight bonds.  I love these people so much and they were great influences on my life. 

And we got to see Abe perform on stage with Jericho Road :)

Boston Strong

We got some sweet Boston Strong shirts and all ended up wearing them on the same day.  Love these girls and the memories we made in Boston!

5th Grade Rockets

Tayson was very excited for me to come to school and watch him shoot off the rockets they made in school. 

Sophie's Hair

Somebody cut the end of her pig tail off.  Good thing she looks cute with short hair.

West Side Story

 I love date night when we have tickets to Capitol Theater.  Buying season tickets has been great. We decided to try a new place for dinner - J. Wong's - it was delicious. And the show was fun.  Not my favorite but still a great date!

While mom's away... .

I got to spend the day manning this booth at the Women's Expo.

When I got home Todd showed the me the project he worked on....what in the world?  How is that something that should be in a bedroom?  Luckily we all agreed it was a bit big and it ended up downstairs in the play room.  

Mom's Facebook

This may be the best facebook thread ever.  I love everything about this.  I went on facebook and found this very detailed message posted by my mama.  So I texted her and said "mom you left me off your post"  she was sure she didn't until she went and looked again.  So I got my very own post.  It was so awesome!
