What a good helper

Logan was nice enough to give Makay all of these cookies when I asked him if he could give his brother another one.

Logan was also a nice enough that when Makay came over and begged for some yogurt Logan gladly shared.



I'm not sure what I would do with out my little helper, it's moments like these that having two is more fun then one.

I want a road bike

Just some random thoughts for all of you. As most of you know I have a done a couple of triathlons and I love them. I think they are so fun and they give me something to work out for. Well the triathlon (tri) season is upon us and I want to join with full force, the only problem is I don't have a road bike. I did my first tri. with my mountain bike, boy did that suck, then I did the other with my friend Kristen's road bike. What a difference a bike makes. The delemia now is to buy or not to buy? Tomorrow Canyon Bicycles is having their huge, annual sale, and last season bikes are getting sold for a good price. Well a good price for a road bike is $1000, roughly. However, last year my friend got her's $700 normally $ 1400. I know this is a lot of money for a bike, but I look at it as an investment. Tri's are something I am going to do for a long time so if I buy a good bike and keep it in good condition it will last me a long time. My problem is the frugal part of me pipes in and says, are you crazy that's way to much money. Then the competitive health nut says, what's more important then your health. Any suggesstions on what to do??? I need help!

Big time slackerness

I realize that my posts have slowed down, and I have not put new pictures of us up for a while, we lost the thing we need to download pictures from the camera onto the computer and we have not bought a new one yet, hopefully we will soon. Just posting to say sorry and we will try harder to post more often.

New Friends, Old Friends, I love all of you!

After catching up on my blog reading this morning I have been inspired by so many of them I felt like I should post something. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, so please bear with me. As most of you know about a year and a half ago we bought a house in North Salt Lake, it's a quaint little area, and the house is a fine size for now, but for some reason I kept having this feeling that I can't wait to move back to the center of the city. It's always hard to move to a new place, with unfamiliar surroundings, and getting to know new people and find your place in the ward. After almost two years I finally feel like I like it here. It' so sad that it has taken me this long, but better late then never right.

What has brought on this new change of heart has been that we have recently hung out with our neighbors, and played some games. Jill and I have had many play dates and lots of chatting, but we haven't been able to hang out altogether until recently. Dave and I love to hang out with friends, but some days you don't feel like driving somewhere, so to have friends that you can walk down the street to hang out with is awesome. Dave is also going to start playing racquetball with a friend in the ward, while his wife and I work out. I am so excited to build a friendship with our new neighbors, and have some close to home fun.

Now I don't want you old friends to feel like we are neglecting you. I love an old friend more then words can express. There is nothing like hanging out with someone that knows you so well, and that you can share anything with. Friends like that don't come a round everyday. There's so much history with new friends, that just saying one word makes you laugh so hard you are going to pee your pants. What was it men lactating? There are few things I enjoy more then sitting around talking with an old friend!

New or old I am so thankful for all the friends that are in my life! everyone of you have made an impact on me in some way, and I am grateful for the lessons I have learned and the laughs, tears, and stories that have been shared. I hope that we can all stay friends for a long time, and see what comes of our lives. If had one wish for friendship it would be that all my friends lived close enough to see on a regular basis.

I love you all!!!!!

NKOTB is Back!

Well I'm not sure how many of you know, but I was able to go to the New Kids on the Block concert when they were here in SLC. My brother and sister-in-law Andrea came to Utah for the concert and I went with her. Now not only did we see the concert from the 2nd row center, we got to meet and greet them before the show as well. It was totally awesome and a once in a lifetime experience, Andrea and I got lots of FACE TIME and a little booty grabbing and cheek kissing as well. I'm lovin' on Joey and Andrea is holdin' on to Donnie in the picture. So all those doubters better recognize that NKOTB is back to stay.
