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.


Jim the excavator. 

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.

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...

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.
