Dear blogger,

I have neglected you horribly. I feel a little bad about it, but sometimes life just gets in the way. I know I have a ton to catch up on, just haven't been in the mood......too much going on in my head and no where to write it. I couldn't skip today though, probably the reason today has been one of those days. Happy Birthday Stephie, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You would have been 37 today, I have am sure I would given you a hard time about getting old! It is so hard sometimes, without you. When I need a shoulder to cry on, someone to go dancing all night, someone to make me laugh, someone who will call me and sing a crazy good morning song ( I know I used to groan, but I loved it) to get me to go to breakfast. Someone who will wear flashing magic rings we bought at the fair just to be silly. Someone who will run through cemetery's in the middle of the night just to scare ourselves senseless. Someone who goes to 80's hairband concerts with me and still LOVES them! So many hours talking, laughing, just being you, always there, no matter what or when, even when I needed you in the middle of the night. Maybe you only get that person once in your lifetime, only have that kind of connection once, doesn't seem fair though. Stephie, I miss you, miss my best friend every day, it doesn't get easier even 4 1/2 years later, hurts as much, sometimes more.

Happy Birthday Stephie.......I love you.

Madison Belle Dille

Meet the new love of my life! This little princess was born Monday, December 7th at 5:11 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 3 ozs and was 19 1/2 inches long! I just want to spend every second I can with her! I am so lucky to be as close to my sister in law Melissa, so I can snuggle with her as much as I want! She is 5 days old in these photo's!

Happy Birthday to us!

It is so fun to have the same birthday as my sis-in-law Melissa, we are so much alike sometimes I wonder if we were fraternal twins! Golden tickets to Disneyland for our birthday's! YAY! The weather was beautiful, and hey.......it's the Happiest Place on Earth!

Love this! Of course we had to have Debra (other sis-in-law) come along because she loves Disneyland as much and in case baby Madi wanted to some early! Kidding of course!

Tower of Terror, we were scared!! I have never laughed so hard on this ride as we did! We had the best cast member, when the lights go off and the movie came on he just disappeared.....and when the lights came back up he was literally 2 inches from us, made us jump....so funny! Best Tower ride ever!!

Debra.............R.N.

Ahhhh, aren't we cute!

Glowing prego girl....love ya!

Deb on the Matterhorn, awesome....love ya!

Waiting in line for Haunted Mansion, my favorite nightmare!

California style......sunglasses in November....love it!

It was way too short of a trip! I have the best extended family ever......my abs seriously hurt from all the laughing! Can't wait to do it again!

Rockin out!

I had such a great time rockin to some 80's Pat Benatar! It was really fun to perform and get the crowd excited! I didn't win but I certainly had fun! Thanks to all who came to support me! Can't wait until next time!

UTAH FOOTBALL BABY!

I always have mixed feelings this time of year........ part of me is just so excited! I mean who doesn't get excited about the UTES! Seeing friends I haven't seen in a while, the smell of all the bbq's going on in the tailgate lot, bringing a sweatshirt because you know it will be a little chilly at the night game. All the smiles and the excitement that football and fall bring! *Sigh* But it means no more summer camping.......no more boating...this is the hardest part for me!! I just have the hardest time putting away all the things the sunshine lets me enjoy! But oh how fun football season is!!

Cute Val! GO UTES!!


Love this game! And especially this team!!


Miss this cute gal Heidi, excited to see more of her!!


Sweetheart Cameron! She took the "couple" pictures!


How seriously cute are these two!!


Can't get enough!!


Tyson was making me laugh so hard when he wouldn't let me take his photo! So as I was still laughing my head off I made him take one!


And of course this cute guy.......yeah I know funny faces....what can I do! LOL I really love it!!


And it was a slaughter! Can't wait for the next game! GO UTES!!

BEAR LAKE o8-2oo9

So I have been a really big slacker on my blog the past couple of months so I have a lot to catch up on! It will certainly not be in order! But you can see what we were up to all summer! Bear Lake, it is truly beautiful up there! Went golfing, and really what a view!


Rob Reynolds, well you know being Rob! I didn't get any photo's of cute prego Maddy but had a ton of fun hanging with them! We should do it more than once a year!


Papa C, thank you guys for yummy food & drinks! We missed you when you had to leave early to meet new grand baby Cash! It was a little cold for August camping! :)
