D-Backs and Homecoming

I have a few things that I need to update so I thought that I would do a couple today and the rest later in the week and it wouldn't be so over whelming. I hate when I wait to long to do updates and then I to many to do at once. Well back at the end of August RME went to see the D-backs again. We always have a good time when we spent time as an office. I feel really lucky to have such a great job and great friends that I get to work with. To bad the D-back didn't make the playoffs. There is always next year. ( oh yeah I also got my braces off!!!!)

In Septmber my cousin Bo Mortensen came home from his mission and I was able to go the the airport and also make a trip to Snowflake to listen to him talk in church. Great job Bo! Welcome Home

Only One Gold

How good were are girls last night! I'm not sure about the judges but in the end we got gold and silver. And I think Shawn get a gold for being such a gracious silver medalist.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!!!

So this was definitely the talk around town today. Even if you are not a sports fan this will make anyone want to jump up and down and scream!! Truly amazing.

Beijing 2008

Alright who is excited about the Olympics!!! - I AM!!!!

This week at work we have been talking about how much we are looking forward to watching. Jenny, Kim and I have been practicing our Olympic dismount. I am getting really good. Jenny really stepped it up on the Vault ( RUN Kimmy) and Kim well I have decided that she could have done just about anything. Seriously ask her to show you her discus throw. - love you girls :) GO USA!!!

BD

Breaking Dawn here. It has been a week since "the Book" came out and if any of you know me at all then you already know that I am already finished. I went to Walmart at 12:00am to get a head start. Yes I am a big nerd but I felt a lot less nerdy when my friend Ashley got there. (Thanks for standing in line with me Ash and Bryce we are not weird like all those girls.) I finished on Saturday night and I loved it. I do think that this book was a lot more adult then the other ones. Maybe it will be different when I actually have kids but I'm not sure that I will let my teenagers read it. Who knows maybe I will feel differently at that point.

Katelyn

Welcome to the world baby Katelyn!! I got to go the the hospital and see this little angel. Congrats Scott and Cheryse she is such a beauty. I can't wait to help spoil her.

Garrett and Adele

On June 14th I was able to go to Snowflake and celebrate my cousin Garrett's wedding. I was amazed to realize that he was old enough to get married not that he isn't mature enough but that enough time had passed for it to be possible. Time really does fly.

Garrett wanted a rice crispy treat wedding cake. My Aunt Wilda, cousin Penny and I all pitched in and I think that it turned out pretty good.

Garrett and Adele's new Puppy Reggie. Isn't he so cute!!

Cole did great in his little league game the day before the wedding. It was nice to take a break and take in some baseball!!

At the end of it all we were all a little worn out but very happy to be a part of Garrett and Adele's big day. I wish them all of the luck in the world.

Family

This is a picture of my family after my grandma funeral. It seems like for the past few weeks we have seen a lot of each other. We are all given only one family and I am lucky that I got to be a part of this one. Also thanks for all the kind thought and support after the loss of my Grandma Lofgreen.

Graduation

Congrats to both Jamie and Wyatt for making it through High School. Good Luck in all that you do in the future!!

American Idol

Well I am going to admit to being a fan of American Idol. I try not to get to obsessed so I try not to watch until the top 24. This year I did really good so I had no idea who anyone was. Itwas kind a nice because usually I get sucked in but there "stories". So week one comes and I watch and I know that no one is going to believe me but I liked David Cook. Seriously he was my favorite, now don't get me wrong I also like little David A. and he sure does have an amazing voice so I was glad that it came down the them in the end. I was appalled but the comments on the last show and swore that if someone (the judges) didn't apologize to David Cook I would NEVER watch again. Good thing Simon (of all people - it should have been Randy) gave me an excuse to watch again next year.

New Baby

Wanted to welcome the newest addition to the RME family. Congrats Scarlett. He sure is a cutie!!

Office FUN

A while back our office got together and took in a baseball game. I want to know who was the unlucky person that came because the DBack played horrible. We had a great time although it is still possible that I am still pulling peanuts out of my hair.

The singles

hmmmm....I think that Mark Reynolds looks pretty good in his baseball pants!!

Cody and Leyla - Sooo Cute
