Celebrated our 8th Year Anniversary in Park City

We went to the Olympic Park and had a great time watching ski jumpers put quite a show on, went down the zip line, and then the alpine slide. It was so fun, just wish it could have been longer.

8 year of being married...

I meant to post this sooner, but I am now. I just wanted to say thank you to my sweetheart, Jake for being my best friend and loving me the way you do. You are a wonderful husband and father. I love you so much! Lara

Donut Falls...

Nora and I hiking up Little Cottonwood Canyon...

I thought it was big Cottonwood Canyon so we ended up on a different trail. So great to be in the mountains.

Evan and Brittany so in-love and engaged!

Congrats to you both. You make a great couple in so many ways. We love you both!

Hangin with the Warth's and Huff's

We were in Nampa, ID for a Huff Family Reunion and it was so so hot, but so so fun.

One moment a Super Hero and a Princess the next...

We'd like to introduce a new member of our family....

Our new cat, Pixy is so sweet and cute. We got her from Petsmart at 4 months old. She's a calico and my little sweetheart. I now know that you can be a cat and dog lover at the same time! Here is a few pics of my 'other children.' One more thing, when I move the arrow of the mouse on the screen, the cat tries to get it. So funny!

Love those kilts...

West Jordan 4th of July Parade with my new camera!

First off I must say that I am loving the camera Jake surprised me with the other day (an early birthday present). It's a Nikon D5000. I love it! So I got really camera happy at the parade. This was the 1st parade Lilian has been in with her karate school. So we watched on the sidelines and had fun eating pretzels and throwing poppers on the road. Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

Donny Osmond....In the flesh

We had a wonderful opportunity to get to attend a dinner where Donny Osmond and Craig Jessop spoke and my talented mom played the piano with the choir. The food was fabulous and Dad did a heck of an amazing job getting the Marriot all finished for this event. It couldn't have turned out better. Except my camera decided not to work very good because either I don't know the technical stuff with it or my son messed with it a bit too much. He finally broke it somehow so if you don't see pictures for a while, it's because I'm in the market to buy a new camera. Any recommendations would be great. But back on subject, we got to see Donny and his band in concert later that evening and he can move very well for his age. The best part was watching 3 larger women on the front row (we were on the 3rd) cheering like crazy to get Donny's attention. Apparently they travel everywhere he goes. Kinda creepy to get that crazy about a celebrity. But Donny was the most kind, humble and funny guy. None of the show business has gone to his head which was a relief to see.

Easter Time!

I am still trying to catch up on my blogging, so here is easter. A good old time in Nampa, ID. We had a big family BBQ at my in-laws and had a blast living a more farm-like day. We raced around in a big circle on 4 wheelers, motorcycles and a few riding mowers. The kids loved it and it makes you want to live out in the country after being there.
