Kirsten loves her grandpa!


the Ohlsons!!

Its all about networking!!!

So I know this is shameless but hey can't hurt. I am currently in the job market! I was chatting with some friends and they were saying its all about who you know, not necessarily what you know. So I thought I would put it out there to all of you. I am looking for something clerical, I have done lots of receptionist, HR, computer work. Or pretty much anything will do for now. I am looking for anything from part-time 3 days a week, half days, or full time! If you know of anything if you could let me know that would be great!!
Thanks for all the support and love! We are truely grateful!

The girly girls!
Breeze had a sleep over while Kim was here with Kirsten. they had so much fun together and slept together in Kirstens bed. Breeze and Kirsten adore eachother, Breeze is constantly asking everyone where Kirsten is and they just love eachother. thought I would show these cute pics!

A little Iowa in Utah!

Kim and her kids were in Utah last week. Had a fun Thanksgiving dinner at the Ohlsons and spent Tuesday downtown with the kids, with our regular visit to Spagetti Factory and ended at Jordan commons to see Madagascar 2. It was so much fun to have them here, we miss them!!

Gotta love family time!!!

Labor day was spent in park City with my mom and dad, Kara, Kevin, the Ohlson boys and breeze of course ;)! I love days like this!! We had such a great time at lunch, letting the kids swim, having dinner. Our fam doesn't get together like this much these days but when we do we sure laugh alot and I love it! I am glad to have my family so close by and I take it for granted. I want to thank them for all they do for Kirsten and I, don't know where we would be without them! I love them and am glad we have moments like these to share together!! So fun!!

ooops 24th of July!
Somehow my pics from the 24th got deleted off the other one. We had a great 24th weekend! I spent the morning with Hayley, Kara and the kids at the parade as usual. It was fun, even after having to hike up capitol hill to our car! We missed Kirsten but still had a blast!
Later that evening we spent at my friend Kevin's house with his fiance ashley and our good friends. We bbq'd, played waffle baseball, and had a great fireworks show ! So much fun!
This is why WE LOVE SUMMER!!!


Breeze and I enjoyin the parade!

Hayley and maddox!

The Ohlson boys, always a fun tradition!

Kirsten waiting at the "hoola hoop" base

I'm making a run for it!

24th of July, 4 wheeling and camping!


Me and some friends went camping up to silver lake in AMerican fork, this our camp spot! Beautiful!

me and the girls by silver lake

Kirsten and I on the 4 wheeler, we had such a blast!

My friend wendi rented a couple 4 wheelers and we took them up to 5 miles near saratoga springs. We had such a blast tearin around on these things just us girls! Especially when we didn't have the kids on the back, we could go as fast as we wanted! So much fun!

Ok Ok....Mar here is your update ;)
What have we been up to, with soooo much going on this last spring, our trip to florida, zions, las vegas, me to San Diego and Arizona the rest of the summer has been pretty low key. We have been spending lots of time with friends and family doing all kinds of crazy stuff! A big thing that happened was I got a new car! I am leasing it but still, I did it all on my own. The shopping, the negotiating and got the price exactly what I wanted!! Thanks for my brother in law Kev for telling me to stick to my guns and don't back down. As silly as it sounds this was a very empowering (although stressful) experience! I've never made such a big decision on my own. And its what me and my friends like to call "sassy" red! Thats cause I'm sassy, LOL if you had seen me with some of those dealers you would agree! I flat out walked out of one in the middle of papers being drawn up for a new subaru! GO ME!

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 ;)
