Yep, it's been awhile

I realize that it's been over a month since I last posted anything. What can I say? I'm a lazy blogger. I don't have much to report. I've just been busy with work and life. My girlfriends and I had a girl's night last night, which is always fun. We went to dinner and then back to Karissa's for dessert. She made a super tasty cake. I'm glad that some people I know cook and bake so that I get to experience homemade food once in awhile :) I forgot to bring my camera so unfortunately I don't have any pictures to post of my lovely friends and I. I didn't wear a black shirt and Carrie can confirm - she took a couple of pictures. Well, that is all I have to say for now... until next time.

Black and only black

I own clothing in a variety of colors but in looking at my posts it would seem as though I only have pictures taken when I'm wearing black. This is a very strange phenomenon. I will certainly try to make it a point to wear something other than a black t-shirt the next time I'm in a situation where photography is involved.

Mom and Dad

My dear parents. My dad gave us all a scare when he ended up in the hospital with a blockage in his heart. He ended up with two stents in his right coronary artery. Luckily there wasn't any damage to his heart but it was all still pretty scary. Thank goodness things turned out okay. I don't know what I would do without my dad or my mom for that matter. I'm pretty attached to them :) But really, I'm so ever so grateful for them both.

Sisters

Since we were all in Nephi for my grandma's 80th birthday party, I took the opportunity to get a picture of my sisters and me. L to R me, Lisa, Libbey, LeeAnn.

Grandma J is 80!

My Grandma J celebrated her 80th birthday this month! We had a family reunion and my grandma's birthday party on August 9th. My sister was able to fly in from Georgia and I was lucky enough to have a couple of days off work so we spent a long weekend in Nephi with the family. It was so good to have us all together - but we missed Tod and the Taylor girls.

I know it's been over a month since I last posted anything. My apologies to any of you who may be checking this periodically. It's been a bit of a crazy month and this just hasn't really been a priority. I'll try to get something done on here in the next week...

Birthday Boy

On July 7th, Jason turned the big 3-0! We took the day off work (I was, uh, sick) and saw The Incredible Hulk and went to lunch. We celebrated with his family the following Sunday. We went to the Timbermine for dinner and then we went to see the progress on Candice and Jared's beautiful new house. After that we came back to our house for cake (German Chocolate cake courtesy of Jason's grandma and aunt Robin) and ice cream. It was fun to have everyone come to our house for a change. That doesn't happen, well, ever :) I hope they'll come again sometime.




The most recent snapshot of Jason and me.
I thought it turned out pretty cute.







This is Candice (Jason's sister) and her youngest, Cedric, who just turned two. We celebrated his birthday too!
