A date...

So sad, but oh so true, it had been longer than I could remember since Kolby and I had been on a date. Pathetic? Mmhmm. But such is life. Anyway, my 10 year high school reunion was an excuse to go to dinner with friends. It is so refreshing to remember who you are outside of being a parent. Don't confuse me with someone who isn't grateful to be one. However, it's nice to remember yourself as an individual and as a couple.

Fish Lake

My mom's side of the family has had a reunion at Fish Lake since before I was just a babe. It is absolutely beautiful up there and never fails to make me reminisce. My whole family (mom, dad, siblings, etc) were all there this year, which is a rare occurrence. We had a great time seeing that side of the family and just leave wishing we could do more with them.

The big 5-0!

My mom turned 50, can you believe it? Well neither can she :)

We celebrated with a night out together at one of my favorite places, Market Street!

Time to catch up- Beginning with the 4th of July

So as previously posted, I ran my first 5k on the 4th of July with two of my sister-in-laws, who kicked my trash!

We stay at a motel after the Stadium of Fire, and Maddax kept wanting his picture taken, he knows he's a stud!

After the 4th, we went to the Fisher reunion at the Fisher cabin, where Maddax and his cousin secretly got into their older cousin's bag and tried on her make-up. Maddax said he was trying to look like Mickey Mouse, which explains the mascara. Still not sure why he thought bronzing glitter powder belonged in his hair...

The reunion is one of Hannah's very favorite things, she loves being at the cabin and spending time with her cousins.

I ran my first 5k last week

This was a huge deal for me because I absolutely hate running. Do you see all the suckers behind me? I knew if I ran a race with thousands of other people I wouldn't be the last one to finish. It took me 32 minutes, respectable but room for improvement.

Our first piano concert

I almost forgot! Hannah started taking piano lessons at the beginning of the month and she had her very first recital the night before her Baptism. She memorized her song and did an excellent job!

Hannah's baptism

Hannah chose to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints yesterday. It was an absolutely beautiful day in all ways. We are so fortunate to have so many loving family and friends who came to support her. I wish I had taken pictures of everyone who came. Thank you to all those who made it, and thank you to those who did not, but have supported and loved her nonetheless.

Pictures we quickly took a few days beforehand for her invitation

So many family and friends came to support Hannah, thank you!

Awww

I checked on Maddax one night and saw him sleeping like this, reminded me of when he was a baby. Such a bittersweet little moment. He's growing so quickly!
