WHY????

Why? Trey's new word. He uses it after everything you say. He makes me laugh!! I love that he is so relaxed and can sleep anywhere. He is so busy when he is awake and hardly takes a nap.

Kayse and I have been busy doing a little yard work. We planted a few tree's this week. He even has a binki line (not bikini line) to prove it. You can't see it very well in this pic but he looks cute with a bit of a tan!!

Front flowerbed. It is only a matter of days before it will be filled with fescue so I had to document that it looked good at one point!

So I have been busy trying to put together a fundraising dinner for the 'Relay'. It has been quite an undertaking!! Between good friends and a great mother-in-law I am confident things will work out fine:)

Thursday we took a quick trip to NewCastle to watch Jordan and Justin graduate from High School. It was great fun. My mom didn't tell them we were coming so it worked out perfect! Merr, Crystal, Jed, Rhonda, and I rented a 15-passenger van. We looked like the Eldorado Relocation Transportation with only one adult male in the vehicle. Thanks for being such a good sport Jed!! We decorated the outside and took it to graduation. I am pretty sure they were embarrassed!! We got home Friday evening just after Matt got home from his trip to Minneapolis. He got to take some customers back on the company jet. It looked like they had a great time.

The grad's and their older, not bigger, sister. Jordan, me, Justin.

The ultimate ride!! Jordan and Justin's FAN VAN!!
Loving the trampoline and the sprinkler!



Mom, don't pass out. This was my attempt to make bread. It turned out pretty good, maybe not blue ribbon but good enough for me. Thanks Nat for showing me a unique way to make it!

It's me again Margaret!! (ha, ha, Ray Steven's song)

Yes, it is me, I am finally updating!! Truth be told I can't find my camara and I didn't get any pics of Wade's wedding or the Race. As luck would have it, Rhonda left her camara in my car over the weekend so I now have pics of both events:)) Thanks sis!!

Little Bro's Wedding: How fun it was to see Wade and his new bride be married!! I think the day went very well. It is fun to all be together and make new memories. I enjoyed getting to visit with people I haven't seen for years, including cousins (sorry Jess). Out of both of our families the Twins are the only one's left to be married. Since they do everything together anyway it will be interesting to see if they get married at the same time. Jordan, that means you have to get a girlfriend:)

Wade and Kayla

Mattie, Kayla, and Brit
Jordan and Justing graduate on the 22nd. Last to leave the nest. What will Wayne and Gaylene do with all their spare time?????

Race for the Cure: What an awesome event!!! Crystal, Rhonda, (my sisters) and I participated in the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure event in Salt Lake on Saturday. What an emotioal event. Most everone wore the name of a loved one(s) who has passed on or is fighting Breast Cancer. Some Teams even had shirts made up with photo's printed on them. Other Teams had shirts that said things like "Big or Small, Let's Save them All". (There were a few more but you wil have to call me if you want to know what they said:) It is great to see people find a little humor during such a tough time in their life. There were many survivors and I noticed one lady, still in the midle of treatments, walking hand in hand with her husband. What a sweet moment! We vowed to do it again next year and would like anyone who wants, to join us. It is the Saturday before Mother's Day so it makes for a great outing!!

Just before the race: me, Rhonda, Crystal

We FINISHED!!!
Speaking of MOTHER'S DAY, I hope you all had a great one!! I had an awesome day other than I had to talk in Church. I have the best husband and kids:) They all brought me flowers!!!

I am getting stoked for the Relay for Life Event!!! If any of you have any questions, don't be afraid to call me. Thanks for all your support!!

P.S. Kudos to Matt for keeping the kids while I raced! Love you hottie!!!
