PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

Hillcrest High School Class of 1991 Reunion

The one job I had: banners! They turned out great!

Danae Davis: breast cancer survivor. She just finished chemo a few
months ago and her hair is darling- super curly.
Jody Wood (black dress) my BFF in 1st grade
Kathy Ruffino (black and white dress) my BFF in 3rd grade.
They are still darling as ever!

(Becky and Jill! Friends in high school. Jill just had baby number 4 about 8 weeks ago).


SO fun! I didn't know what to expect at the reunion- would it be awkward, uncomfortable, fun or way fun! I guess its what you make of it. It was so fun! So many of my friends were there and it was great to reunite. I can't believe how good everyone looked, besides the guys balding and gray, everyone looked the same. No one looked old. People I didn't know well, I got to a chance to talk to and get to know better.

Of course I forgot my camera so I took some photos with my iphone but they aren't very clear. Plus I missed a lot of photo opps.

Draper Days Rodeo


My kids have never been to a rodeo before and so I didn't know if they would like it but they loved it. Their eyes were glued on the cowboys! It was a totally new experience for them and Im so glad they like it. We hope to get to another rodeo this summer.

Take The Skinheads Bowling, Take Them Bowling!





Summer fun at Sandy All-Star Lanes. With all the water activities this summer its nice to change things up and go bowling! Its free which makes it better. www.kidsbowlfree.com

Max Moments: Super Style




Max put his hat on turned to the side and said, "Look mom, I'm a Rock Star!" I replied, "Oh, thats cool. Who taught you how to be a rock star?" He answers, "JESUS"

The other photo is Max after he did his own hair with a pound of gel and Lilly's purse. Don't tell Kyle about this photo. Scary

Conner's 10th Birthay Party







Another fun birthday at grandma's pool. This year we did it a little bit different. We did an evening 7-10PM party. We served up popcorn, ice cream cones and grape Kool-aid. Swimming to start, outdoor movie and then more swimming. The kids had a blast. Now Im ready for an adult evening swim party.

Ragnar: SOOOO FUN!

When life offers you something new...take it! I took Ragnar. I signed up for one crazy race! My friends said anyone at any skill level can do it so I trusted them and became "runner 7." It's the easiest leg but for me it was just right. The second leg (8PM) was a 4 mile run with about a 3 mile hill and I made it...barely. The others were fine. The whole event was so fun. I LOVED the night runs. Seeing everyone with their headlamps and reflectors was sooo cool. The most gorgeous view was the moon reflecting on the lake. I wasn't as tired as I thought I would be. The adrenaline kicked in for sure. All of it was a BLAST! The girls I ran with made it that way! I love them all. There was Jill(captain), Jessica, Jamie, Chelsa and Stacie. They are amazing athletes and they inspire me to push myself and they gave me the confidence I needed to run. There were some weird moments though; lets just say there was some pee and pooh involved. We took my car and wrote on the window "The Real Ragnar Housewives of Draper- 84020" Loved it!

I want to run next year!
