Adding On

 Back in February we had a drafter come out to our house

to take measurements and draw up some plans. Five months

later we finally closed on our loan and started the construction.

We have six months to get it all done, it must be done by Christmas.

Josh Turner Himself

 Here is the man of the hour.!!! I really like Josh 

Turner, he is exactly what a country singer should be,

clean, humble, talented and a handsome cowboy.

 Josh (we are on a first name basis) writes or

co-writes all his songs. He has the deepest voice I 

have ever heard.

To top it all off... He has been married for 

several years to the same women (who is also apart of the band)

 and they have three kids together. You just

dont see that everyday with famous people.

Josh Turner Concert

 Aspen and I went to the Josh Turner concert with my folks.

It was one of my favorite nights ever!! Aspen and I

had so much fun together.

Fathers Day Weekend

 After my race, Trent, Aspen, Raider and I met his family

out camping. Fernanda and I...

 The Lance clan

 The Trent clan

 Tony...We all gave him a tablet.

The late night drive home. 

Sunday we stayed at home and hung out as a family. 

Aspen and Raider gave gifts to Trent and we

had some good meals at home. I really enjoy 

being home more then I do going out.

On Monday, the Gray Family gathered for 

dinner at my parents for my Fat-Daddy.

MY DAD IS THE BEST DAD FOR ME! 

HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY? 

American Fork Canyon Half Marathon

 Exactly seven days after the Utah Valley Half (the one

I got sick at) . Alison and I ran the AF half. 

One of my new years resolutions was to run a race

I have never ran before. I am so happy I ran this race.

It was amazing, I am already looking forward to 

running it next year. This race is close to home,

the course is beautiful, well organized, and all  proceeds

go to cancer patients.

 Since I felt good, my time and attitude were much better then

the week before. My time was 1:46:11, thats an 8:06

minute mile.

My Fan Club. I love when Trent and the kids come out to watch.

Aspen actualy ran the last 200 yards with me. It was

so fun to cross the finish line with my best girl.

Utah Valley Half Marathon

 Alison and I on the bus ride to the starting line

 Waiting to start. 

 Finally, I made it to the finish... Long story

short-I started to feel sick at mile two, their

were no porta potties, I was real sick all day

Saturday and Sunday.

These people are the only reason I finished.

Trent said I glared at them when I ran by.

My time was 1:59:57, thats over

a nine minute mile, Its amazing I am alive to write

about this sad sad day.

Strawberry

 Best picture ever... Aspen standing with her Aspen Trees!!!

 Trying to get the kids off Aspens four wheeler 

was not easy.

 Trent and I went to strawberry for the day because

our friends were camping up there. Long story short...Our dog bit

Trent, Trent shot him in the head and we left our

dog up there.

Brooklyn and Raider eating nuts.

First Swim of The Summer!!

 The kids and I will be doing this a lot  during the summer

because 1-we got a pass. 2-I hate the heat.

 Darcy and Raider

Aspen and Raider taking an ice cream break.

color-me-mine

 My friend Kim and I took our girls to 

color-me-mine so they could paint a

soup bowl/over sized mug for their dads for 

fathers day. Aspen loved it, I will have

to take her back so she can paint 

herself something. The finished project

will be shown soon...

Aspen and Sequoia 

Busy Day......

 After I got off work, we went to Aspens soccer game.

She scored a goal!!!

 Then we headed up the canyon for Jans birthday party!!

Because of games, we came late and left early but

it was still fun. Jan is such a good grandma.

My kids are so blessed to have her.

 Last but not least..baseball game. 

Aspen started  machine pitch this year.

She likes it but doesnt love it.

In this game Aspen played catcher, pitcher, 

and had two hits. 

 I have fond memories watching

my brothers play baseball when we were kids.

Now I watch my own child.

Where did the time go?

Happy Happy 30th Birthday to Trent!!!!

 Trent turned 30 on May 26th!! We had several b-day

celebrations. We went bowling with his family (for 

Trent and Kurts b-days). Trent and I went out to dinner, twice, 

during his birthday week. As a family, we also went to the aquarium.

 The kids and I got Trent some nice "anti gravity" chairs.

hopefully we get to use them camping one of these days.

 Aspen made Trent do all the silly poses, he was a good sport.
