I have to admit, I am not much of a writer.  I write how I talk.  And when I talk I tend to ramble.  I try to think of interesting things to blog.. but then I move on because it can’t be that interesting.  And it would take forever to type it all out.  I guess that means I am a lazy blogger.  I’ll try to do better.  Really, I will.  I never know what people want to read about on my blog.  For me I always love the pictures on a blog.  So today I decided to include pictures of things I love.

Yesterday we went to the River to play with the kids and our big dogs.  I decided we should have a picnic too, or as much of a picnic you can have with two crazy Labradors running wild and crazy waiting for any morsel of food to drop, and the seagulls hovering over us too.  It was awesome.  Really, it was.

I decided to give up sugar, but only for like 11 days, because anything longer than that would be bad.  I would miss my little girl’s birthday cake.  So for 11 days I am cutting out sugar, meaning desserts.  I need to get off of it, it is my crack.  I think I need to go to Sugar Addicts Anonymous.  Randy brought home some delicious chocolate chip cookies for our picnic and I resisted.  Awesome will power right?  But they were good.  Really good.  See Little Miss, she was LOVING THEM.  Seriously this girl melts my heart.
And Little Man, this shot of him was between bites.  Notice the cookie crumbs.  Love this kid.  This is so him.I have two dogs in my home.  But this is my dog.  This is Sage.  I love her!  She is one of those happy, lazy dogs.  Everyone needs a dog like her.  I do love our other dog, but she isn’t lucky enough to be featured.  Maybe another day when I am feeling more generous.And lastly.  I love my Randy.  Chilling on a warm day in his brother’s backyard.  Love him.  Adore him.  He is always my biggest fan.  How great is that!! And that’s it.  There are several other things I love.  But I didn’t take pictures of all of those things yesterday.  Just these.  Love my life.

First off, I love my job!

Tyson and Victoria were married in the Portland, Oregon, LDS Temple, on May 22nd.  That’s where I was married almost 11 years ago, so I have a spot in my heart for that temple.  I love it!

A quick sneak peek!

I loved how into each other they were.
Isn’t Victoria gorgeous!
I love a good Harley.  Tyson’s Dad was sure to pull out the helmets, I love it!
Congratulations you two!  Thanks for letting me be a part of such a special occasion!

Memorial Day 2010

June 3, 2010

I am a sucker for Patriotic things.  I love my Country.  I love those who protect it, and serve our Country and give their lives for OUR FREEDOM.

Hillcrest Memorial here in Tri-Cities has a great Memorial Day celebration.  They take a moment to honor those who have passed before us.  This was the first year my family has attended.  I am so grateful we did.  I will admit I am not a fan of funeral homes, they wig me out.  Just ask anyone who knows me.  But this was done so perfect I cannot wait to go back next year.

They had tons of yellow balloons that you could write messages on.  I wrote one for my Grandpa.  My kids wrote them for their Grandpa also.  It was such a tender moment.

And then we listened as the Star Spangled Banner was played.  I cannot hear that song without tears trickling down my cheeks.  I love this Country.  How grateful I am for our freedoms, and for those who have sacrificed their lives to protect us.

The balloon release was beautiful.  I had no clue it would be such an emotional thing for me.
It reminded me how important it is to take a moment and remember those who have gone before.

Check it out!
