Swim lessons...

Kyra started swim lessons today. She has lessons Monday through Thursday for two weeks. She was super excited to get in the pool and learn how to swim. Kyra LOVES the water, she is our little fish. Her first lesson went great.  

A few more pictures during the two week period...

Father's Day!

We had a great day celebrating Father's Day. For breakfast we had Overnight Sausage & Egg Casserole, toast, and fruit. It was delicious, and the kids liked it too [woohoo]. Bryce and I this year kept gifts simple because we recently laid a new brick patio in our backyard. The kids were excited to give Bryce their present, a new tie to wear to church. Bryce loved his new tie. After church we got together at Lexie's house for a family potluck BBQ. We had a great time eating yummy food. The cousins had fun playing hard while the adults enjoyed chit chatting. I'm so thankful for Bryce and the awesome dad he is, I can't think of a better dad for our kids. I'm thankful for my dad too. He has always been a great dad and continues to each day. Happy Father's Day!   

My friend LoraAnn...

A few months after moving into my new ward I met LoraAnn. She soon became a good friend, an even better friend once we started training for a half marathon together. You definitely get to know someone on a different level while running/talking together a few times a week. Around Christmas time LoraAnn told me her family was going to be moving to Utah because her hubby was changing careers. Justin moved in January, and LoraAnn stayed behind with the kids to finish out the school year, and hopefully sell the house. I am sure going to miss LoraAnn when she moves. I'm especially going to miss having a running buddy. We decided we will still train for races and meet up on race day to run together.

Recently some girls from our ward got together at Chili's to say goodbye to LoraAnn. We had a great time chit chatting, laughing, and enjoying yummy dessert together. Another day I treated LoraAnn to breakfast at Kneaders, we both got their famous french toast platter. We had a fun time catching up, just the two of us.
