Ok Shelly "tagged" me so here it goes.
I hope I do this right- here is some info about me.
3 things I cherish:
1. My family
2. The gospel
3. My friends

3 things I fear:
1. Losing a child, or husband or family member
2. (now this one sounds trite compared to what I just said above but oh well)-- spiders
3. Loud noises (always have and don't know why!)

3 things I want to accomplish/goals:
1. Be the mom I always envisioned myself being
2. Make my home a place where my kids and their friends want be
3. A labor and delivery nurse
4. ok-I know I said 3 but there are more... I want to be completely debt free-no house, no school loans-nothing.
5. HAVE A BOY!!!!! (no I am not pregnant!)
3 things I love to do:
1. hang out with my family (both mine and cams)
2. eat

4. (and I'll slip this one in too) read-this one just developed over the last 5-6 years so I had to put it on there.

Ok-thanks for the tag Shelly! And now I am going to tag Jessie Ann, Alisa, Sharlynn and Tavah ( I hope none of you have been tagged lately-but I am lame with knowing how to exit from my post and check your blogs and then get back to mine-and I really don't want to loose all I just typed. Remember I am so techno challenged!!:)

4th of July

That morning I ran the 10k and happily beat my time from last year! It was fun and was a great race. Cam brought the girls to the parade and they had a blast!

Waiting eagerly for the parade to start!

I just thought this was pretty precious
Hoping to be thrown a piece of candy! Little beggars! Jaynee finally gave up and got her treats where she knew she could get it!!

Then we did the slip and slide and BBQ in the back of Grandma and Grandpa's. Can you tell this is Jaynee's first time on the "slip" and slide. She got the "slip" part down, but not so good on the "slide" part!
She got right up, and went over and over again! We had as much fun as she did just watching!

Emmie had this down pretty good!!
Can you see the collision about to take place!?
On our way to the fireworks. I had to take this pic cause Jaynee usually says "scawey" (scary) when cam puts her on his shoulders. But this time she let him and loved it.

Kind of blurry, but Jaynee hung out with "papa" a lot of the time while we watched the fireworks. Emmie played with Jaynee and her cousins (Chelsea and Greg's Kids) and then Kaylee was invited by Ty and his family to go to "Hannah Montana!" She was so excited! But we misssed her. It was such a fun day, and so much more fun to just watch them and their reactions to everything!

Emmie turned 5!

Happy birthday Boo! We went to "Color Me mine" with Kaylee, Ella, and Britney Haslem. This was a few days before her birthday and they had a great time! Emmie loves to paint so I figured this would be the place to go and celebrate.
Emmie painted a little mug with a butterfly on it. So serious and focused!
Kaylee painted a little dog- looking jewelry case and she painted to look just like Daisy.

Then we made our way over to the "rocky mountain chocolate factory". Mainly because this is my favorite place, and of course there were no objections on behalf of the kids!
(Britney, Kaylee Jo, Emmie and Ella)

On saturday June 28th we had her party. Emmie wanted a water party. This was so easy to plan, yet so fun!

Emmie wanted a "swimming pool" cake so this was my creation.

Jaynee thinking that she is big and playing the water balloon popping game. You had to sit on the balloon, pop it, and then run back and touch the next person. But, none of them were heavy enough to pop it! So they got creative and did all sorts of things to pop them. Lots and lots of little girls about the same age in our neighborhood makes for a fun party!! (this is only half of them there-the other half is calling "red rover..."on the other side of the yard.

Happy birthday Emmie! I can't believe she is 5!! and starting kindergarten!
