Sorry it took so long for me to complete my tag :) Sometimes my days end just as the next one beings and I dont' have time to even take a breath!

If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
Don't marry the first guy who comes along - it won't end well.

Did you do any extra curricular activities in high school? Spanish club president :)

What did you do with your free time? I mostly worked at RadioShack to save for summer trips to New York and Cancun. "You've got questions, we've got answers!"

What was the craziest thing you did in high school? Ditched a lot - enough to warrant excessive amounts of restitution - Am I the only one who thought restitution was the stupidest thing on the face of this earth?

Did you have a boyfriend in high school? Kenny in senior year. Post-break up he was known as pajaro grande...(big bird) due to his large yellow jacket that he constantly wore.

Songs that come to mind? Time of My Life - Green Day; Today is the Greatest - Smashing Pumpkins; Macarana (unfortunately)

If you could change one thing, what would it be? I would have graduated as soon as possible and gone to away to college - somewhere back east

What did you want to be when you grew up? Psychiatrist

Picture of self... ..............right................

I tag Brittany, Carie, Solinda

Silly Squirrels!  

Posted by Shannon & Lindsay

Alyshia and I decided to hike Angel's Landing last week - my thigh muscles were not appreciative afterwards :) We left really early so we were the only one on the trail and I won't lie, we were a bit freaked out for a while. But once we got to the top a lot more people came up so we felt a little better. But some cute little squirrels hung out with us while we rested at the top. We figure they must be used to seeing people all the time because they came and ate little pieces of food right out of our hands - please be aware that if we were caught feeding them we would have been fined $100 - but it's not like we were giving them a Zone bar or anything, just little bits of dried apple and cranberry. I'm sure it's a welcome relief from dead insects and random bits of plants here and there!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Happy Birthday to my favorite guy in the world! I love you!


Lots of fun up north!  

Posted by Shannon & Lindsay

We went up to Provo last weekend to get away and see family and we sure had a lot of fun! LJ was so good on the way up just playing, talking, and sleeping in her car seat. We were able to go to Clark Planetarium and look around and LJ and her daddy got their picture taken on Mars!




LJ also got to meet two of her cousins: Little Gracie Lee Talbot in Delta and Ethan Cobb in Draper. Little Gracie is just two weeks old and it was crazy to see how big LJ is now. I remembered when she was that little and it was only two months ago :) My, how they grow.

We took some cute pics of LJ just chilling in the hotel bedroom. She loves nothing more than to sit around in her diaper. Her hair was all crazy and she resembled a Who from Whoville ;)

On a more frustrating note, now that LJ has been nursing for about a month she has developed an intense dislike for the bottle. She'll cry and cry and cry and cry..........etc until she finally gets what she really wants. So this makes it hard for me to go anywhere, or leave her with anyone for more than a couple hours because she'll scream bloody murder for the mammary juice.

So ----- if any mothers out there have any good advice, please let me know!

Blessings & Races!

LJ got blessed today! It was a great day! My Mom had kept the little dress I was blessed in and so she was able to get blessed in that - it was so cute! We had lots of family there and Jeremy did such a great job - he gave a very good blessing! She's just getting so big so fast - I can't believe she's already almost 9 weeks. Maybe it's time for another one :) (My uterus says - Not if I have a say in it!)







I also ran the Hurricane 5K on Saturday and I beat my Coral Canyon Run by a whole 9 minutes! And the course was half uphill so I'm quite proud of myself. It will be nice when I can get up to the 10K's. Baby steps, baby steps! I'm getting back into shape though, which is good - I gotta drop this jiggle belly that hangs around like an uninvited guest!

Alyshia ran the half marathon - she was committed! She finished in 2 hrs 3 minutes which was excellent!




Fun Family Pics!

We got our pictures back that we got taken a few weeks ago and they look great. Although please be aware that I may appear larger in the picture than I currently am now - excluding my mammaries. Those are, in fact, still that large.

<---- Flowers can be very distressing!
