*Happy Father's Day*

Today is Father's Day and I want everyone who reads this to know just how much I love my dads! I have been blessed with 2 great dads and couldn't be happier! Happy Father's Day to my dad, Gordon, (see post below entitled "Happy Birthday Dad"), for bringing me into this world and loving me unconditionally, and Happy Father's Day to my other dad, Brent, for raising me and loving me as your own. I am the luckiest girl in the world!

I thought these pictures of Brent and I were so cute. The first one was taken 2 weekends ago on our family trip to Strawberry Pinnacles, and the second one was taken at my wedding when Brent and I were dancing. I was so sad to be saying "goodbye" to him, I couldn't help but cry.

John, my wonderful father-in-law, you're amazing and I'm so happy that I am now part of your family. You have taken me in and treated me like any daughter-in-law would love to be treated. Thanks for all you have done for Brady and I. I admire you for always being so supportive of Brady and his baseball. He has told me numerous times how grateful he is for you and that you never missed one of his baseball games growing up. You're AMAZING!!

**I tried to download some pictures of John and Brady from our wedding and it has taken me over an hour to try and download them off of the wedding CD because our computer keeps freezing up, so I finally gave up. Sorry**

Oh, The Joys of Softball

Okay, so I have been the WORST at updating the blog lately! It's been a week already and I just feel like I have nothing of importance to talk about! Although, I will share with you all that Brady and I are on my work's softball team and it's a blast! (Sorry, I always forget to take pictures of us.) We had our 5th game tonight and we won, we are on a winning streak - we've won the last 3 games! Our record is now 3-2...that means we've won 3 and lost 2, right? Anyways, I'm slowly getting better and better and I have really been enjoying myself. Brady is the "all-star" on the team, so that makes me a very proud wife! All of our team mates always comment on how good Brady is and that he is "the best thing that's ever happened to our softball team," it's so cool! (I think playing baseball since he was 4 years old might have something to do with it!) I was playing catcher tonight and someone was running home so the pitcher threw the ball at me to get the runner out and not only did I miss the ball, but it hit the inside of my forearm super hard and now I have a big red welt! It hurt so bad. Geez, the things a girl will go through to win a softball game!

Happy Birthday DAD!!

If my dad were still alive he'd be turning 51 years old today; HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I miss you like crazy and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. My dad was a very special man whose life was cut short at the age of 41 due to having a heart attack. He was such an example of strength and courage that I can only try to live up to. He was a great man with an even GREATER personality. He was an intelligent attorney, a loving father, a great friend and an overall EXTRAORDINARY person. Happy birthday Dad; here's to you!!

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Over the weekend our friends, Gregg and Jamie, had a BBQ at their house because the weather was SO nice and it was our friend Sean's birthday. We had great food, that Gregg and Jamie spent lots of time preparing, and great fun! After we chowed down on food, candy and birthday cake, the boys went in the house and watched some fights on TV while the girls just sat around and chit-chatted. You'll notice in one of the pictures that Sean's face is smashed into the cake, um yeah, somebody pushed his face into the cake while he was blowing out his candles....the sick thing is that I still had a bite of it even though it was smashed and stuff! Once it got dark and the fights were over, we had a fire in Gregg and Jamie's fire pit, it was awesome! There's nothing like a good ol' S'more on a summer night. I am so excited it's starting to get nice and we can have BBQ's more often. Good times!!

Fun in the Sun

Alesha, Koen and I went swimming this morning and it was great! It was fun to lay around the pool and catch some rays. I applied SPF 30 before I left home and then again after about 20 minutes of being there...I really didn't want to burn! After about 40 minutes, my stomach started looking red, even after 2 applications of sunscreen, so I put my tank top on just to ensure I wouldn't burn like I did 2 weekends ago.

Koen got some sort of bug-bite on his foot, so that was sad, but it was fun to see him play around in the water and have a really good time; he loved showing me that he could blow bubbles in the water by putting his face in the water and blowing out of his mouth...so cute! I had a great time catching up with Lesh and look forward to more days of swimming and FUN IN THE SUN!! Thanks Lesh!!

Enjoying the sun!Mom and Son

Cute little Koen eating an avocado sandwich.

Whoa! I guess the camera was zoomed in on this pic, but I thought it was still cute.

Rain, Rain, Please Go Away

Here it is, Memorial Day morning and my big plans for the day have fallen through due to the rain. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the rain, but not when it affects my plans. I initally had planned to go swimming with my friends and sisters because today is the day that all the pools open...that obviously isn't going to happen. And then Brady and I and our friends had planned to go hiking today, bring a packed lunch and enjoy the day...that isn't going to happen either. I'm pretty much bummed out right now. It's 10 minutes to 8:00 am; do I go back to sleep for another hour or so, or start the gloomy day right now and head to the gym....Hmmm, I'll have to think about that one. Nothing is better than lying in bed, having the window cracked a little bit and listening to the rain...

Finally...Another post...

Okay, so I know it's been way too long since I've done a blog update and I'm sorry! I feel like I've been so busy. Last week we had a family party to celebrate my Grandpa's birthday and it was really fun. We had great food and played the infamous Olsen family volleyball game. I, unfortunately, couldn't play because the day before, my sisters and I laid out in the sun and I got really burned and couldn't play :(. I was so mad at myself. It was such a fun day and it was great to spend time with my sisters-in-law Gina and Alesha who are in town from Pennsylvania; although I sure miss Nate and Phil and can't wait to see them! Missy and Alesha showed up wearing the exact same shirt so I had to get a picture of them; they both looked super cute. I took lots of pictures with my mom's camera and not very many with mine; I didn't even get a picture of my Grandpa and it was his birthday. Oops!
