Europe

Last week we made last minute plans and decided to fly to Europe for the week. It just seemed like a good time to go, and we needed a little time away. Needless to say, we had the best time. We ended up flying to Paris and spending the day there, then took a train to Geneva where we spent most of the week just hanging out and going around with my dad. Here are a few of our pictures from the trip. A little bit of what we did.....

We went to a castle on the other side of lake Geneva, it was amazing.

Are there really words for this face.....
We did a lot of this.......I'm already going through withdrawls from all the good food..
We got to hang out a lot with my dad.....

Although being completely screwed up from the time, she did a lot of this....
Some of my very favorite people in the whole world, doing one of my very favorite things, eating outside and just hanging out...

We did a lot of sightseeing, but wouldn't you when it looked like this....

We took a monorail to the top of a huge mountain, it was so beautiful up there
Spent some time at Lake Geneva....
And in France......

What a great trip we had!!!!! We need to recover a bit from our vacation, but we can't wait to go back. Besides our trip we are doing great, busy as ever. But taking it one day at a time :)

Family Pictures-

When we were in Utah for the marathon we had my bff take some family pictures for us. Lindsey is the best photographer, you should all hire her. I mean look how good she makes us look :) But really, she's the best and we always LOVE the pictures she does!!!

There are so many great ones, but here are a few to look at....

PS, we have the best family!! We are so blessed!!!!!

Lake House Reunion

I have been blessed with the very best group of friends from high school. It's amazing that even after ten years its like no time has passed and we are all still the best of friends. We had our 10 year high school reunion last week, so we decided to go up to the lake house and have a mini reunion of our own before the real one. It was so fun to catch up with everyone, and it was so fun because almost everyone was able to come. IT was a great weekend of talking, eating, relaxing and just being together again. I got to bring Kendall with me, so she had her first experience on a boat. She loved it! I think we may be investing in one soon. But here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Mommy and Kendall

Kendall didn't want to get off, so she just passed out while riding.

Gosh....still look the same after 10 years :)

Kendall found a mini pool, with uncle tate

She is really a fish out of water, she loves being in the water!!!

Kendall and Aspen, future BFFs

Kendall was ready to get on the boat, and was mad that she had to wait

Boise, Salt Lake, Marathon

Lance and I decided to do another marathon. This one was in Provo, Utah. So we decided to go out for the week and go up to Idaho to see Lances family, and then my sister Haley in Utah. It was a lot of traveling in a short amount of time, especially with a sick baby for half of it, but we made it. And we had a great time visiting family and letting Kendall finally meet the cousins on Lances side. Here is some of our trip....

Kendall got very spoiled, and got pushed around in the stroller by her older cousins for most of the time.

Lances mom and sisters, and their daughters

Kendall discovered a love for horses, especially this one the bounces. She wanted to play on this all day and night.

We talked Haley and Christian into coming and hanging out with us for most of the time. We were going to a friends wedding reception and Christian forgot clothes, so Lance's grandpa was kind enough to lend him the purple alligator shoes with matching purple tie.

This is all of Lances family, it took forever to get everyone together for a picture. They even got Lances grandparents to come up, so Kendalls great grandparents were all there.

Us in Twin Falls, at the big waterfall. It was beautiful.

Jumping on the trampoline.

We did a little bit of 4 wheeling while we were there. It was so fun, and so nice to see real mountains again.

Oh, and I marathon went ok. It ended up pouring rain for like the first 10 miles, so we were soaked to the bone and freezing. I think I was shivering the whole time. But we did finish and now have 2 under our belts. Woo, go us! We didn't break any records, but we had a good time. Lets put it like this....never have eye surgery and not be able to run for the 2 weeks before your marathon :) I think for our next event we're gonna do a sprint triathlon in July. Try something different...anyone up for the challenge??

Summer has begun...

Summer has officially started here at our house, in fact Kendall and I go to the pool practically ever day. Kendall just finished swimming lessons, turns out she's pretty much a fish and loves being in the water. Almost a little too much, she is always trying to jump in. But here she is getting ready to go out to the pool.

A little ways from our house they have a strawberry festival, so we went to that a few weeks ago. It was fun, super hot. But we stayed cool with some amazing strawberry short cake, and stayed very entertained trying to count all the mullets we could see.

And a few weeks ago, Lance and I had Lasik eye surgery. I would highly recommend it. The surgery was a little wierd, but so fast it was over before I even knew it. We had to wear these sweet eye shields at night for a week to protect our eyes because we couldn't touch them for a few days. It really wasn't bad at all, and now I am contact free.....woohoo!!!
