It's the best having a brother

I get to be a kid again

I feel like I am living my life over again. I get to draw on the sidewalk. Lastnight Mac and I rolled down the grassy hill like ten times. When was the last time you did that? Do you remember the last time you yelled out "helicopter!" or "airplane!" when you saw one in the sky? Do you even notice them when they go by? Everything is so new and exciting. Mac notices every tiny detail and reminds me how fun it is to live life. I love him so much.

Mac tells me what he wants me to draw.

It's usually all his favorites: football, basketball,

soccer, tractor, lawnmower, helicopter, mama, baby.

Mac and Taft's ride

This jogger has saved my life this summer. We go for a run in the mornings. I'll usually run to a park a little over a mile away, let Mac play for a while, and then run back. It's a great break for me too, get to listen to my ipod while the kids just enjoy the ride. I can still hear Mac yelling "tractor" "basketball" "helicopter" or whatever else he happens to see. Then we go out again in the evening when it is cooling down. Fun to just walk around the neighborhood and see who is out and about.

TAGGED (by my friend Danae Dean)
Jobs I've held:
Too many to list. I'll just mention the really fun ones.
Life Guard, Flagger for construction (oh yeah!), Play it Again Sports, Dillards, Olive Garden, and Special Education Teacher.

Places to go for a weekend getaway:
At this point, anywhere. We used to go camping a lot. Vegas is always fun and not far away. I went to Boise a few weeks ago and actually really liked that town. But, with two little babies I won't be going anywhere for a while.

Places I've lived:
Again, too many to list. We'll just do it by states.. Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.

Places I've been on Vacation:
Florida, Arizona, Vegas, San Diego, Hunington Beach, Oahu, Maui, Puerto Rico (not quite the vacation I was hoping for), Bear Lake, Disney Land, Disney World, and Pine Bluffs Wyoming!!!

Favorite foods:
There are so many. Anything from the Olive Garden and Cafe Rio, my mom's apple pie, most mexican dishes, strawberries and peaches, cold cereal, and pizza.

If in a "jam" with your spouse, what tactics do you use to get out of the doghouse?
Guess I don't have to worry about that one anymore.

Websites I visit (ALMOST daily)
Email, bank account, blog, and playhouse disney!

That was kinda fun. Now I'll tag Elise and Sara!!!

Look at my gardent grow!

From Left to right: pumkins and watermelons growing into the grass, two tomato plants, a group of carrots, and green beans.

Better shot of the green beans.

This is the green onions, cucumbers, and pumpkins. Fun to see them grow! And fun to eat. The onions and green beans are sooo good right now. I'm a little worried about the pumpkins, they kinda scare me how they just keep growing!

24th of July Parade in Spanish Fork

Taft had a great time at his first parade. He looked up from his hands every once in a while.

Mac and his cousins were lovin the candy. Steve seemed to be the fastest at getting it. Poor aunt Aimee got a blue lip from trying to catch a blue popcycle. Should've taken a picture of that!
