Cub Scout Day Camp

The leader from the other troop dared me to race her down the BMX track! Hello! Don't Dare ME 99.9% of the time I will do it! The boys were sooo excited to see us race!

and we're off!

I had a huge lead! Well, guess what? It didn't last long! Totally crashed it on the last turn!

I am holding up my hands in the air and saying "Rock on". My cub scouts came running down the hill to see if I was alright. I was laughing so hard I was crying so they weren't quite for sure if I was hurt or not! We had a great time with all of our cub scouts!

Here is just a few of us from Boot Camp that ran "No' yo' Mamma's 5k & Half marathon! It was brutal. Most of it was up hill!!

~Our Garden~

Here is our attempt at our first garden. We have planted corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, radishes, radishes, carrots, and strawberries and radishes. Did I say radishes? Shawn wants tones of radishes. I'm afraid they may overtake the garden. We also planted some pumpkins underneath the trampoline. Let's see how those do! But every morning Shawn waters it and makes sure it's ok!

Wyatt and Shawn went to their first Scout camp out together on Friday. When they came home Saturday, Wyatt's expression on his face was hilarious. All he could say was "Mom, that was the best camp out EVER!". Later after talking with Shawn, he said the boys stayed up till midnight just laughing and talking around the fire with their dads.

Should I be scared? Totally!!

~Ogden Temple~

On Friday April 1st, 2010 my immediate family had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Ogden Temple one last time before the reconstruction began. Well, of course when you are planning to attend the temple something always has to go wrong. Shawn and I left early from our home to make sure we were there on time. If you knew my dad, being on time is a HUGE thing for him. As we came out of Sardine Canyon we were noticing a lot of traffic getting off the freeway. Approaching the overpass to get on the freeway we notice traffic was at a complete standstill heading southbound. Oh Great!!! was all I could think. We turned around and headed for the old highway to see if we could get around the accident. Fifteen minutes later we made it 2 miles. Crazy? YES! it took us that long to turn around on the overpass and make it back to the light to turn onto the old highway. After sometime, I was starting to get frustrated, upset, and just plane mad. How often do you get the opportunity to have your WHOLE immediate family in one sealing room together? Not very!! My family (parents, sibling and their spouses) were all meeting at 6 pm to get a picture then do 80 names for sealing at the temple. Well, Shawn and I pulled into the parking lot at 6:25 having 5 minutes to change and be ready. We made it!!! Was all I could think at that time. As I entered into the temple, it was amazing the overcoming peace I had knowing that I was here for a reason. That reason came later as I sat with my family taking part in such a strong spiritual event. To see that look on both of my parents faces, knowing now that both of their fathers are sealed to their parents for eternity. Was worth it all. I knew many of the people and names that we had done! Which made it that much more meaningful. I am so grateful for the gospel and the atonement.

~Spring Break~

So it's spring break and horrible weather. Do you remember in high school when it was spring break and the weather was always perfect? Why can't it be that way when you're a mom? Seriously, I'm loving that I get to spend so much time with the kids and family but I would really love a day to just play outside without it being so cold! Or even blown over due to these horrible winds! Spring break started out great hopefully it ends that way!
