5K & free fishing day

On Saturday Steve and Koby ran in a 5K with Steve's brother's family and his aunt, uncle, cousin, friend & a few thousand other people. Morgan, Cameron-my nephew & I waited close to the end to cheer everyone on to the finish. We had Cam practice saying, "Go daddy/mommy go!", sadly when he saw them he forgot his line until they were down the street. But he sure was cute! They all did an excellent job! Way to go!

Saturday was Utah's free fishing day-so we packed a picnic and went fishing. No one caught any fish but we still had fun!


After a bit of bad luck fishing, the kids and I had an impromptu photo session.


Aren't my kids gorgeous?!

Oh brother(s)!

A few days ago Morgan and I had the following conversation...

Morgan: Mom, Koby and I are NOT friends! We are brother and sister.
Me: You can be brother and sister and be friends too.
Morgan: Really? (think of her tone as implying-right mom, like you know anything.)
Me: Yes, I am friends with my brothers and sisters.
Morgan: You like your brothers?
Me: Yes! I love my brothers-they are awesome!
Morgan: They are?
Me: Yes, don't you think Matt and Rick are awesome?
Morgan: Yeah. (long pause) I guess Koby and I can be friends.

And it's true I am really good friends with my brothers and sisters. I am so glad that we get along well and are always there for each other. I know that I am blessed to have a great family. I hope that when my kids are grown up that they will be great friends with each other...not to rule out having them be friends now!
