Happy Birthday to the best sister ever!!!

My sister is the most caring person I know. You will never meet anyone who is so concerned with the well being of others. Lisa can always find something good about the worst person or situation. She is an amazing sister and mother. I have no idea how she always keeps it so together. She works full time, is a full time student, and the best mom ever oh yeah not to mention her house is always perfectly beautiful-unless Chris has been home for the day:) and she is always happy to whip up something yummy for someone hungry. I just wish I lived in Salt Lake so we could show up at her house around dinner time everyday. I don't know what I would do without my only sister. She has always stuck by me and never even come close to giving up on me. I will always look up to my sister and strive to follow her example. I hope you have the best birthday ever Lis!!!!

Congratulations Laners!!!

My little brother graduated from Orem High last Thursday. Great job Lane! Yes, that is my daughter with her finger in her nose. It has been her new favorite thing ever since she discovered that her finger is the perfect size to fit in her nose she just sticks it in there likes to just hang out with her finger in her nose. Lovely.

Random Pics from Cali- I know it has been a while

I am ready to pitch a tent and live on the beach with my family forever. Chris was pretty much a trooper crowds, traffic, tired crying babies- I'm sure he was just in heaven. Thanks Lisa and Chris for letting me and Tase tag along.

Disney

Disneyland was a little crowded. I would have been happy to just spend the week at the beach but Tayson was in heaven. I love the picture of him staring up at Goofy. He loved the rides he was not scared of any of them I had no idea he was going the love the roller coasters so much. One ride he was barely a quarter inch too short so we took of his socks and rolled them up in his shoes and he was so excited to be able to go. There was a race car ride where they give you a "drivers license" and I have always told Tayson he can't drive my car cause he doesn't have his license and now he is convinced he can drive my car it has been a bit of a battle.

SeaWorld

SeaWorld was a great day except that right when we got there at about nine when it was still a little chilly we went to see the Dolphins and they thought it would be funny to splash Shiloh and Tayson- they got soaked and for the rest of the day they were worried about getting splashed which is pretty much what everything at SeaWorld is about.

Califorinia

Back in APRIL(I know I am awsome at updating my blog promptly) Tayson and I went to California and we had SO much fun. There was ALOT of driving and Shiloh and Tayson did get a little agitated with the car and each other by the end of the week. Tayson absolutely loved the beach. I can totally picture him growing up and being some type of beach bum(I know high expectations coming from his mother.)

Injured

I sprained my ankle pretty bad and have had to take a break from training for the big race. Tayson was chasing me and I tripped over a metal hammock frame that came out of nowhere. Stupid- but thanks to my dad his friend from the BYU Athletic Department it has been healing very quickly.

Dress ups!!

Maycie and Shiloh are still learning to share this is kind of how the process goes only it usually ends up with tears. If you look close you can see shiloh has a bracelett, gives it to maycie, and takes it right back. Don't they look cute playing dress-ups!

Pics as promised

Great day at the zoo! The highlight had to be Maycie on the carousel. She absolutely loved it. And Tayson loved basically everything. He said that there were a hundred thirty two poops at the giraffe's house.

Zoo Day!

We went to the zoo on Saturday and it was the perfect day. The zoo was not crowded at all and the weather was perfect. The best part of the day had to be the greek dinner my sister made for us she is the best cook ever. Pictures to come just not now cause I am at work(Dont Tell my boss I was blogging at work!)

OWWW!!!

This is what I was doing on Sunday (kinda) until I started crashing. I either broke or really really bruised my tailbone and kinked the heck out of my neck and now I can barely move. I tried to go to the gym this morning and I couldn't do anything without it hurting either my butt, my neck or both. I guess that is what I get for going boarding on a Sunday.

Cookie Cutters!

I highly recommend this place. Maycie HATES having her hair done but at cookie cutters the let her pick out a movie, choose her favorite car to sit in and then they were blowing bubbles the whole time. She didn't even know she was getting a hair cut. She even let them round brush her hair and now she has cute bangs like her mama!


They also had things to keep Tayson(and Mike) entertained during the hair cut.

We will for sure be returning to Cookie Cutters in the future!

We love when Lisa and Shiloh sleep over!

Tayson & Maycie were so lucky to have their cousin Shiloh sleep over and we all got to stay up late watching the food network and eating Ice Cream!!

Maycie giving her buddy loves!

Tayson's Birthday Party!

Tayson and his best buddies ready to party!

Maycie also had a blast


Tayson made out quite nicely with his birthday and christmas the next day. Grandma Lawrence had to come over and organize his room there was so much stuff you could barely walk in there. Thanks Everyone!
