Happy Birthday Cherill!

We celebrated Wes' sister Cherill's 26th birthday at the end of May. First, an amazing sushi dinner at Sushi 4 You, followed by dancing and fun at Club Habits. Tons of fun, but only a few pictures from the night here. Hope your 26th year is the best, Cherill!

Up the Copper Creek

Okay, so I've been meaning to update for weeks now, but it just hasn't happened. I guess it's a good thing when one is out doing too many fun things and enjoying time with family and friends to update the blog, right?

Just a quick one here...a few weeks ago, Wes and I went to a late lunch with my sister Lisa. She suggested this little pub I'd never heard of, that's tucked away in a strip mall that I pass on my way to and from work every day. I'm always for trying a new place, and I was so pleasantly surprised by Copper Creek Pub and Grub in West Valley. I highly recommend it when you're craving heavy, fried food, or one of many amazing different burgers and fries. Also a great place to grab a quick, cold one - where there aren't many places to do so on the west side. Delicious!

We journeyed, we conquered

Last Sunday we decided to get some fresh air with some of my family and hike the Timpanogos Trail up to the caves. Little did we know, that the 30% chance of rain in the evening would actually end up being about a 90% chance during our mid-morning hike up the mountain.

We trucked on through the rain and it was absolutely amazing. Such pretty views! Surprisingly, our best trooper of all was my niece Rylee, who happened to be the youngest hiker.

The hike was more than worth walking through the cold, wet, beautiful caves. We had a great time.

Amateur Inliners!

After a day of lazing about for most of the day yesterday, Wes and I decided to go work on our blading skills up at my old elementary school. Here are just a few shots of us trying not to fall.

Every child begins the world again...

A few weeks ago Wes and I joined my whole family for dinner at Cracker Barrel to celebrate my sister Lisa's 31st birthday. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures except for one with my two nieces, Lina and Avery on one of the infamous porch rockers. It's so fun to get the two of them together to see how different they are. I'm excited to see each of them grow and change in their own ways. Too cute!

Walk beside me...

In January of 2008, my mom was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. Every day since then has been a struggle and a blessing for my entire family.


For the second year in a row, we participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and were able to feel the positive energy and support all around us. I'm so grateful to have been a part of it, and hope to be for years to come :o)
