Brock's graduation present

We desperately needed a new grill. So, we invested in a really nice one with Brock's graduation money. Steaks at our place... anyone interested?!?

Eden's new hobby: climbing through the doggie door. Rookie does it, so why can't she?

She loves to "share"

Her new pool and swimsuit. Summer is here!

Her stinky face. She loves running back and forth across our deck. We say "ready, set, go!" and she takes off. It's so cute.

Our first 10K!

Jessica and I survived our first 10K!

10K- well on our way!

My friend and I are training for a Memorial Day 10K (6.2 miles). We ran the (very hilly) course at 5:00am this morning in 1 hour and 3 minutes. Our goal is to complete it in less than an hour. 3 days till the race!!

Growing up

My little brother (well, not so little since he's 6'2") is graduating from high school tonight. I can't believe that it's been 6 years since I graduated! Where did the time go?? (Oh yeah, I moved to VA, finished college, got married, bought a house, started a job and had a baby) Steven has grown into a great leader and a man of integrity. He has won several awards for volleyball, accumulated over 20 hours of college credit, taken honors courses and been on several missions trips. It make me sad that I missed all of it!

He had a graduation party this past weekend with several of his friends. They had over 250 people come to the open house.

Eden's Vacation

Our daycare provider is taking two weeks off, so Eden is spending the time with her grandparents. This week she is in Phoenix with my parents and next week she’ll be in San Diego with Brock’s parents. Talk about spoiled!

We drove her down to Raleigh, NC, to meet my parents this past weekend. They flew her back to AZ. Here are some pictures of the fun so far:
