Utah Trip!

I was lucky enough to go to Utah to spend some time with my cousin Jen who is going through chemo for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Her hair started thinning a week or so ago, I told her from the beginning if she loses her hair I would let her shave my head. My thoughts is no woman should have to go through having no hair on her own... So her step mom sent me an email about a week or so ago and asked me if I would be able to come out and spend a long weekend with Jen and be there when she shaves her head. Of course I couldn't say no, I jumped at the chance to have some "me" time away with one of my best friends. I flew in on Friday afternoon just in time to be there when they were starting chemo. The look on her face was priceless. We pulled off a pretty good surprise!
After Chemo we headed up to Heber City to spend time at her in laws house...There house is
heaven on earth. In the mountains with a beautiful view. It helps that they are some of the sweetest people ever. We ate some great food and have a wonderful time.

Is she not one beautiful woman!

Saturday was the big day....we shaved our heads that late afternoon. Jen wanted to go first and told me she wanted me to shave hers then she would shave mine. We had my sister and her sister on skype while we did it and one of Jens best friends Des was also there.
This is the holy cow I am shaving my head look and oh it tickles.
Checkin out the no hair..she can rock it!
My Turn!

I've always wanted a sweet mo hawk. I thought now I could try it!
Jen and I before she shaved off the mo hawk.
I just couldn't help myself!
The no haired twins...
Jen, Des, and me..her hair is too pretty to shave off..:)
I will never forget spending that time with Jen and having out shaving head bonding experience.
I owe a HUGE thank you to April for watching Addie for a few days and Brian's dad for coming
and helping get Brian to and from work and keep him out of trouble.

Jen I love you and am so proud of you and the woman that you are. You make me want to be a
better person. I am blessed to have you in my life!

Addie!

I was able to mess around with some indoor lighting yesterday over at Brian's cousins house. I have been wanting to do it for a while. Some turned out better then others. I haven't had time to edit any of them yet.





Just a few of my favs!

I'm alive!

I know I have been not so great blogging but between Brian's broken foot, Addie starting preschool, and life, I have been very busy. This is what we have been doing.

A few weeks ago Brian fractured his foot in 7 places. The X's is where all the fractures are.


They casted him 2 weeks ago, we decided to add some Charger flair to the cast.



Last Thursday was Addie's first day of preschool. We are doing a mom co-op thing. So I teach about once a month. She loves it and looks forward to it every week. This is the 4 girls in the class.



We are finally getting a break in the heat, and it is quickly cooling off. We have been enjoying going to the park.
We were also lucky enough to have Glor come out and visit us for 3 days. She brought her new puppy Manny. I was sure Addie thought she had died and gone to heaven. She wants a puppy so bad. We had so much fun with Glor.





Addie's new BFF Manny!



I will try and be better about blogging I promise! I hope everyone is doing well! Lots of love!
