5K

This is Shaylee and Jesse crossing the finish line during our family 5K run for diabetes. My family is awesome and they all set this up and participated in the Miller 5k Run for Diabetes. This was actually back in June, I'm a little behind in blogging our entire summer. Jenny made us all purple t-shirts that said "team Shaylee". A big thanks to my sister Becky, this was all her idea! I know this is 5 months too late, but Shaylee and I want to give my family a big thank you for supporting us. Everyone did great!







Arianne and Sarah crossing the finish line.

I admire Shaylee for having such a great attitude about her disease. She never complains about it. One day I hope that there will be a cure for type 1 diabetes, but for now they have really come a long way in keeping kids healthy.

Baptism

Shaylee and Arianne got baptized together. It was a wonderful day and I hope they both have happy memories of it for the rest of their lives.









They were so cute together and they were both grinning from ear to ear. Grandma Sheryn and Grandma Lorna both gave great talks and helped make the day even more special.



Kate wanted me to post a picture of her cute hairdo.

Thomas!

This is Tyler at the Heber Valley Railroad where he got to ride Thomas the Train. He loved it, but it was freeeeezing!

Spring

We FINALLY got to go to the park!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carnival Birthday

Shaylee turned 8! We had a birthday carnival and thanks to Jenny, Jesse, and Matt it turned out great! They had a cotton candy maker, popcorn popper and hot dog cooker. The kids played carnival games and won tickets and at the end, they used their tickets to buy concessions and prizes. Shaylee loved it all and had a very memorable 8th birthday. She gets baptized at the end of the month with her cousin Arianne. Both girls are so excited and so are the moms!

Face painting was a hit.

Talent Show

Shaylee was in the talent show at her school. She did gymnastics with some friends to "Dynamite". They had a parents night. It was so fun and entertaining. It was the most Justin Bieber I'd heard in one night.

Disneyland

Well this is our Disneyland trip. The weather was gorgeous, there were palm trees and Jack in the Box everywhere! We didn't take Tyler with us, but he had a good time with Aunt Jayne and Grandma Sheryn. We came home to a blizzard and the house was 40 degrees! Brrrrr.
















They were filming a commercial one morning before the park opened so I snapped a pic. All the people in this photo are actors. Except for Sleeping Beauty....she's real.



Dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.





Dinner at Johnny Rockets. I love 50's diners and I miss having a Galaxy in Utah.



We stayed at the Peacock. Very cute.

Newport Beach. My favorite part of the trip. The number one most asked question on the trip? It was not "are we there yet". The girls kept asking "are there sharks?"









We stayed here at the Windam in St. George the first night. Soooo nice.




And they lived happily ever after.
