Edward + Jacob = Good Movie

Happy Birthday Grant! Hangin' out on his big day.






Party time.














Kimberly threw me a birthday with my workout group. How lucky am I to spend some time eating yummy food with girls I love...while our kids played.








Finally saw Eclipse. So good. Glad to see amount of kissing went up-hehehe. We had some Eclipse inspired goodies and I made some shirts. Carleton's said "Edward Sucks"-get it vampires suck (I'm only explaining because I didn't get the double meaning). Mine said "bitten" on the front and "my husband is hotter than Edward" on the back. Don's is the green one on the bottom. Kimberly's read "Edward's baby" with an arrow pointing down to her pregnant belly.

Sweet Land of Liberty

We had a fun fourth celebrating at Carleton's parents' house near San Francisco with the Avalos and Harp families.

Before we left, Apollo's playgroup celebrated Halley's 3rd birthday.


Did some wake boarding.




Annie loved "driving" the boat.



Saw the San Francisco sights.





Always glad to be home too. Kids are giving Carleton the tickle torture.


I celebrated my birthday yesterday and had the opportunity to think about how grateful I am. I'm also looking forward to a fun year-training for a triathlon, among other things. I have been super thankful for all the help through this hard time. I have realized that everyone is unique with different talents and gifts and these have helped me feel peace, hope, and joy. I am thankful for friends that have gone through miscarriages that have given me great insights and for those that have not that have helped or were just there for me. I was given a blessing that friends would help through the struggle and at that time I thought I was pregnant and wondered what that meant. Now I know and I am thankful.
