Kassidy's kindergarten program

Kassidy's class did a cute little program. John was here for it, and my mom was able to come and watch. Kassidy did a great job!

Here are two links for the photos from the race. The one I am in the background almost to the finish line. If you scroll down once you click the first link and then click on "previous or next" there are actually 3 pictures of me in the background of that same kid. It's kind of funny because no one in my family who came to the race actually saw me cross it!! So this is the closest picture i have of me running in the race and about to cross the finish line. My official time was 27:19... so not to bad. I can't post the actual pictures because the site wont allow you to copy them... so this is as good as it gets.

marker fun?!!

Lindzi decided to sample a marker and found out that it wasn't too tasty. She had just had her bath a few hours before this little incident. And it turns out the marker wasn't washable... so it took a bit of scrubbing to get it off!

Kassidy's parties

Kassidy had 2 great parties on Saturday. First she had the friend party. With the butterfly theme we made butterfly masks, painted little butterfly decorations and had a fun treasure hunt for the party favor bags. Then we opened presents and had cupcakes...it was yummy! Later that evening the family came over and we had a good time hula hooping with Kassidy's new hula hoop made by Brenda. Darin was in town as it turned out and he and his girlfriend, Diana came by to wish Kassidy a happy birthday. Jeff came out as well with Darin. Amanda and Nick are here this week so it has been fun having them around. Of course Grandma and Grandpa Shaw and Steven were here and also Brenda, Nick and Jonas. Kassidy had a great time. Below are two slide shows from both parties... so enjoy!

my first 5k

My Dad and I ran in the 5k today!! It turned out good despite my knee swelling slightly 3 day prior to the race. I came in around 27 and a half minutes... and my Dad came in around 29 minutes. Yay!! We are happy with the results!

Kassidy's cake!!!

Kassidy's birthday is this weekend and i just finished the cake tonight!!! Yay! I am so glad to be done with that... since it takes so much time and effort. Tomorrow is Kassidy's kindergarten program and Amanda and Nick will be coming for a visit tomorrow too so i will be plenty busy.
Now i have one less thing to do tomorrow.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Just wanted to wish all a happy mother's day today!! We went to a missionary farwell today and the girls did great. It was very enjoyable. John was here for the morning and so he made me breakfast in bed. The girls gave me of gifts of lotion, shower gel, body mist, and a tote bag. John got me some very nice perfume. I feel loved and i have some great girls and husband.

my new garden boxes

John made me some garden boxes on Wednesday. They are right outside the back door, so we can't ignore them or forget about them. We filled them with soil and tomato and pepper plants. Let's hope they grow well... so we can make some salsa!!

Lagoon..it's what fun is... (or so they say)

Lagoon

We went to lagoon on Saturday. The girls had a great time!! Desi is a little daredevil. She wanted to go on all the big rides. We were only there for a few hours because of some pesky rain and because we went late in the day. But we are planning on going back very soon. Brooklyn went on quite a few rides too... although she doesn't enjoy them as much as Desi - well the really scary ones anyway. John and Desi rode the colossus which is a fast double loop roller coaster. I have actually ridden it before, but don't plan on riding it again!! John, Desi and Brooklyn rode the white wooden roller coaster also. I went on the the wild mouse and really enjoyed it. I don't like the really scary rides. We all rode the music express (well except for lindzi) Desi and Brooklyn rode the screamer... which i hate that ride.. too intense. Lindzi didn't like really any of the rides. I took her on the kiddie roller coaster and she hated it. Desi took her on the kiddie helicopters and she whined/cried the whole time. She did ok on the carousel, but that was about it for her. Maybe she just needs to get bigger. Anyway we all enjoyed it overall. Afterward we went out to eat at a chinese restaurant.. yum!

ice cream....yummy!

She loves it... this particular kind was double fudge brownie!! It was good!
