family fun 2012

Vacations go by too quickly. Utah was beautiful! But I am excited to sleep in my bed tonight.

It was fantastic getting together with my Mom, siblings, in-laws, nephews & nieces in Heber City, Utah for our family reunion. We enjoyed playing in the cold pool, chasing the kids, visiting until all hours of the night, indulging in some delicious foods, and hiking.

the grandkids


My brother, Spencer, encouraged us to run in the American Fork 5k the Saturday of our reunion. Spencer and my brother-in-law, Zac Coplan, ran the 1/2 marathon while my sisters, Amie & Rachel, and I jogged the 5k. I'm glad we participated in memory of our Dad.

it's party time!!!!


I heart dinner parties. I love the planning. I love the shopping. I love the decorating. I love the food. I love the friends. I love it all. 

I had a few girlfriends over last weekend. Everyone contributed and it turned out great. We ate. We visited. We laughed. We listened to some great tunes. We played with Baxter. We took silly pictures. 

I cannot wait for us to do it again!

Sewing projects

My little sister, Rachel, has come over a few times for craft days. It has inspired me to be more... crafty?! Okay, I'm not really. I had read a blog a few months back on how to make a pillow. Of course, I didn't tag it or mark it so that I could find it again. I've searched and searched without any luck. So... I decided to just try it out on some scrap material. Low an hold, I figured it out. 


Almost a masterpiece!

Jenna & Zach Hilton

So... my old roommate got married May 5 on Cinco de Mayo. I took a few snapshots but they are crap compared to their photographers photos. You should definitely check out their amazing wedding pics. It was a beautiful night in Scottsdale. Jenna & Zach are wonderful people and such a great couple. I'm sure happy for them.
