Alaskan Adventure!

I was lucky enough to accompany my darling parents on an Alaska cruise adventure. What a hoot:)

My dad (who has lost like 35 pounds by the way) was so diligent in his exercising. I am so proud. He's such a stud! Ow owwwww!!!

The welcome cocktail party with my Aunt Diane.
Mmmmm...delicious drinks. Pina Colada and a Diet Coke...a winning combination!

The totem park in Ketchikan.



This was in Juneau. Prostitution was huge in the mining towns, and this was in "Dolly's House" which was a brothel that operated for a long time. These roses on her shower curtains are made out of silk condoms from France that didn't work. Seriously.
Dinner in the dining room.
Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau

Sawyer Glacier. We stood in that spot for like two hours while the ship drove up the fjord. We HAD to get the best lookout spot...and we did!
Ugh. My least favorite part of Alaska.
Skagway. This train would clear the snow off the tracks.

Yukon Trail train ride in Skagway. Absolutely gorgeous.

Prince Rupert, Canada.
We are soooooo attractive:)


A great trip. Thanks mother and poogly!

Aydre:)

We had a wonderful weekend up in Blackfoot, Idaho, for Aydre's wedding. It was at a beautiful house right on the Snake River. It couldn't have been any more beautiful. She and Kelly were so cute.
Sara and me.

The beautiful backdrop for the ceremony.



A beautiful day:)

Lately...

I figured it was time to put something new up. So....here goes:)

I ran the Salt Lake Half Marathon in late April with my dear friend Diane. We wore our amazing bionic tutus, which helped us keep our swagger all the way to the finish line. I had always wanted to run a race in a tutu, so my wish was finally granted. It was so fun and people loved it! We were awesome!



Almost there! We came up with our running names- mine was Gurty, and Diane's was Stella. Excellent:)I really wanted to go to a playoff game, so I got tickets for Sara and me to go to the first home game the Jazz played against the Lakers. What a heartbreaker:( We had saawwweeeeeeett tickets on the back row of the entire arena, but that didn't dampen our spirits.
And that's it for now...I've been painting my ceiling all night and am too tired for more...:)

Rugby season...I love you:)

For the 29th time in my life, high school rugby season has come and I'm loving it! This probably isn't a super exciting post for anyone else, but this is one of my favorite things ever! Nationals this year are at Rio Tinto-so you should all come out the 3rd weekend of May. :)

Best dad/coach in the whole world!
I tried to study for my entrance exam to graduate school...I was only mildly successful.

Chi-Town

I decided to add on to this post...So Jane and I went on an adventure in the mini van to our favorite store. Jane was a sassy dream come true in the store, she loved going to the clothes and saying how cute they were. We had so much fun, and I kept the Barbie fruit snacks coming!

Larry and Amy's friends had an Easter egg hunt...so cute!



Because of my amazing parents, I got to take a last minute trip to Chicago during my spring break to visit my brother's family. We are having an ooooodalolly good time!

Annie and Lucy

Lucy and Jane
Skyping Nana and Papa (my mom and dad)

Make up time!






Don't I look gorgeous?
Then Lucy had to show me how she can ride a two wheeler now, so we went on a walk so she could show off:)
