I'm late but...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!! To my second oldest sister, who I looked up to SO much! she is one of the most talented people I know! She's amazing at scrapbooking, not just that but goes all out for everything! You go to something at her house and she's got it all, good food, sweets, decor everything. She got the good genes in the family.
WE LOVE YOU KIM! Hope you had a great birthday! I would post a pic but my desktop is dead, and I have non on my laptop.

"Its me and you babe...."
I am lucky to have a really amazing friend, she is writes so beautifully about her family and her adorable little girls. check out her blog, its sarah on my blog roll :) she got me thinking about being a mother and I hope I don't repeat what she has said but she really got me thinking about being a mom to such an amazing little girl as mine. Kirsten and I spend lots of time in the car.....we talk, I listen to her endless questions about this and that, and I admit sometimes (much more than I should) I get frustrated with her constant questions. But I am lucky, to have such a smart little angel, she is curious about the world around her, the world passing her by as we drive through, and who her mom is talking to and what she said on the phone. :)
Everyday I spend with my little girl is a precious gift to me. I see so many single moms who work themselves to the bone to keep their homes afloat to to be the best moms they can be. I have been blessed to be home with daughter, to enjoy her laughter, to enjoy summer days spent hiking, at the pool and our many adventures. I hope as the years go by our bond will stay strong...I feel blessed to have this year just her and I. I think it will always keep her and I close...I hope we have many hours spent talking, laughing. I hope I am someone she can confide in when she's 12, 17 and 30. I can't wait for the late night chats whens he comes home from her first date, prom and her first heartbreak.
Its me and you babe....you are stuck with me for eternity ;)

The Land of the free because of the brave...
I love the 4th of July for so many reasons, its always been my favorite holiday! I love the patriotic music, the show of flags and for some reason nothing is more patriotic then fireworks? As I watched the firework show at the Bees game on the 4th, while listening to music about who much we love America it reminded me like it does every year of how grateful I am to live in the United States! In this last year I have met many wonderful people who serve our country, and then I have my own brother who I think of every time I see something patriotic. As the music played I thought of all the people in my life who have served our country and how grateful I am to them. For their bravery, their boldness and the sacrifices they make to serve. I wish I was better with words but for all the soldiers I am truly grateful. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't enjoy the freedom that we have. Thank you!

Independence Day!
We had a really great 4th of July!! Kirsten, my dad, Hayley, Derik and I started out the day with a beautiful hike up little cottonwood canyon. We wanted to do Cecret Lake but there was too much snow. We still found some beautiful sites! As usual we reminiced about the many hikes we have done up there as a family. Ones like Hay, dad, Tay and I getting stuck finding a waterfall near tanners flat. Hayley and I sat on the extremely steep mountain side and cried. LOL Hayley also remembers waiting out a rain/snow storm near where we hiked. And who could forget the 4th of July hike with Piper pregnant, and her best friend pregnant and my friend JW. Lots of good times!
Later that evening we headed to the Bee's game, we didn't have tickets and they were all sold out. We were all pretty bummed, but we found a scalper who sold us tickets!! It was lots of fun, saw lots of people we haven't seen in a long time, enjoyed yummy snowcones and fireworks! The 4th is definitly one of my fav. holidays!
