Pre-view of family pictures...

Tell me how a 7 month old is able to do this?

I went in to get her out of her crib this morning and found that she managed to get her arm out of her sleeve and then out through the neck of her PJ's.

I have no idea how she did this.  It's quite amazing.  

Race for the Cure

Every year we head down to the Gateway Mall and race...ok it is more like walk for the cure.  This has been a really fun tradition to celebrate the many years that my sister-in-law Ginny (Colby's sister) has been cancer free.  She is such an amazing and strong person.  She is someone that I have and will always look up to for everything that she has already gone through at such a young age.  

If you live in Utah and have never done this I suggest you do.  It is such an amazing experience to see all of the women and men that have gone through or are going through breast cancer.  I would have to say, it is kind of an emotional event.   Not only is is emotional it is also comical.  Teams get very creative with there team tee-shirts.  Some of my faviorte that I have seen were... "Save the ta-ta's" "Bibbity, Boppity, Boobs" and my ultimate favorite "Yes these are fake, the real ones tried to kill me". 

So....if you never have attended it is always the Saturday before Mother's Day. 

Lucy, Ginny, Colby (always making faces) Me, and Sammy

This is what she did the last part of the race.  The first part she had a per-ma-grin.  She was loving just watching everyone....just like her mama. 

Here is to another year.  We love you Ginny. 

We found one.  

I have a feeling I know what we will be doing this summer. 

I am having blog identity crisis, so just bare with me as I try to figure everything out.

Road Trip

We took our first road trip, toooo.......visit this cute family. 

Spencer, Molly, Kim, and Ella

 Spencer is Colby's best friend who is in Medical School in Las Vegas. 

Spencer's school was having a golf tournament and asked Colby if he wanted to come down and play in it with him.  If you know Colby he never passes on playing golf.  So we packed up and headed down to Vegas for 4 days.  We had such a fun time and sure do miss these guys.  

Both these pictures were taken at the Wynn Hotel.  It is one amazing hotel.  

While we were there we had to ask how much it cost to build it.  

Can you guess how much?......

3 billion dollars.  

Now don't you think that is just a little excessive? :)

Sammy and I at Circus Circus watching a show.

While the boys were golfing the girls made it over to the park.  

Look how cute these girls are. 

Sammy loved the swings.  

I am going to have to find a park with swings like this.  

She absolutely loved it.

If you look really close at street name you will see that it says.....

STEPHANIE

Can you believe it they had a street named after ME. :)

Of course I had to take a picture. 

Thanks CLARKS we had a great time.
