First, I ran my first 5K! I know for some people that's not that much, but for me...it was a victory :). Cade and I ran it together with Emma (crying for the last 10 min). We met our goal and ran it in 30 minutes. It was great accomplishing something like that together!
GIRLS NIGHTS
I've also had some fun girls nights lately. Me, my mom, and sisters all went to Park City together for dinner and shopping. We had tons of fun hanging out together; especially since it was our last time together before Boose (Katelyn) went to college in Idaho! (I'm sad I didn't take any pics that night!)
I also got together with a friend to help make some crafts. I made some pretty frames for Emma's room a while back and Kelsie is pregnant with a boy and wanted to make some "boy" frames to decorate with. (Her husband is into rock music so we wanted to make sure HE liked them too :)). You can't really see the guitars on them in this picture though.
A couple friends (Ildy and Erin from my student ward) and I got together and went to a place called "The Chocolate" in Orem. Now if that name doesn't make you want to go, I don't know what else would draw you into heaven. I highly recommend going!!! (A little pricy, but worth it every once in a while).
I liked the place so much, I went back and took Katelyn with me (this was the last LAST hurrah before college :)
This is SO my sister :). Oh, I love her!
Last of all, we had fun celebrating birthdays this summer. For my birthday, the end of August, I had my family over for a fondue night. We had cheese fondue and a chocolate fountain. It was so fun!
After opening my presents, my Dad said he had a late birthday present for my Mom. He photoshopped and framed a picture of my Mom and her 3 sisters when they were little. It turned out SO SO beautiful. YOu have to see it in person. Of course my Mom cried :). It was such a great gift!
Then for Nathan's Bday we went over to their place and had lots of Nathan's favorite finger foods and snacks. For dessert we had snow cones and we broke a pinata. It was tons of fun! Steph always knows how to throw a party!
My family also got tickets last Christmas for Broadway tour of "Lion King". Oh, I just LOVE musicals and feel inspired, uplifted, and feel like singing everytime I attend...at least those that are the inspiring, uplifting type :)....
Anyway, if you haven't seen it...the music is amazing and the costumes are amazing!!! I loved it!

Fun summer. I love the picture your dad made for your mom. I will have to go check it out.
It brought tears to my eyes too to see the picture of the four of us as children with our cute little umbrellas. Scott wins the husband of the year award. I'd love a gift like that.
10-minute miles?!? Way to go, girl! That's awesome! Looks like it was a fun summer. Wish I could have been there to share some of it with you! :(
