a bird and a bike

We are bird sitting...the parrot will only let Mark hold him.

We went to the Thack Shack, it feels and smells reeeel nice up the canyon.


We biked to the Draper Days extravaganza at the park last weekend.
Siri above with her new headband and sucker she won.



I take Siri on bike rides and we make our way down to the skate park to watch Mark for a bit.


My sis in law Bridget and I...two prego ladies did the Echo triathlon, sort of. It was a relay sprint team and all I did was the run. It was still fun to be there.


Siri's cousin Eric had a bday party, awesome blow up slide included. Mark and Siri tried it out. Siri went down once, she just wanted to jump on it.



Eating peas in the garden

We've been working every night in the yard to get it ready for a family party on the 24th. All the work we've done so far this year is worth it now that a few tomatoes are ripening, raspberries are red, zucchini are growing, and pumpkins are forming. Although I don't think there will ever be such a thing as a worry free sprinkler system.

Siri is a happy girl. She loves animals, purses, pretending to call people on the phone, flip flops, jumping (on the bed, trampoline, in the pool, etc), swinging, bike rides, teeboh bugs (potato bugs), hummus, milk, pahseecohs (popsicles), and painting her nails. She's pretty shy, doesn't talk much in front of other people, but I hope its just a phase.

I'm starting to feel better, don't have to nap and feel nauseated every day. I do feel very, very tubby though. I'm in the fat stage where people think "Hmmm, is she pregnant? I think she might be, but I can't tell. She might just be a little tubby. No, she's probably pregnant. Well, maybe not". I rode Millcreek, just to the gate, today. I'm thankful I am healthy and feel good enough to keep riding and jogging. We find out next month if we're having a boy or girl. Mark is doing a triathlon at the end of the month. I can testify that he has done zero training so far, but that is nothing new. He always places in the top 5 in his division anyway, he's superhuman.

Dinner and a game

Made a not quiche for dinner tonight. Loved it.
Played in a soccer game tonight, loved that too.
And just wanted to say that I love my family overflowingly (I know that's not a word). Mark and Siri are zeh bessst!

Highlights

Baby Max (Jenn and Dave's newest) was born on Monday!

We've been watching (and listening...we don't have TV) the World Cup. Tonight Mark and Siri came to my game (I play on an outdoor women's team). Last weekend my dear sis, Liz, watched Siri while we spent the night playing in the Neff's soccer tournament. Awesome date night.
We love soccer


Today Siri finger painted
And sat in her new chair


We went to the cabin and ate oversized marshmallows...more cabin pics to come


Sir and I went to the Utah Arts Festival. We visited my friend Fred Conlon, listened to some good comedy, and had fun making bracelets, painting, and coloring a mask for Siri.


We went to the Venture Outdoors festival in Millcreek. Dunk tanks never get old.

This was a sweet rollerskate crew that performed

More pics of the 'gator', as Mark calls her, HERE

Getting out of the pool...we always hate getting out of the pool.


We played with Matt & Sheri's kids


And have picked strawberries from the garden to eat with breakfast

Oh...and did I mention there is a bun in the oven?!

up date

I hear I need to update...I've been avoiding it since I've been too lazy to bring my camera (since I no longer have my work iPhone). A post without pics is a little, uh, its boring.

-We went to the Living Planet Aquarium and got to see the penguins eat, jump, and swim!
-Swimming at the Sports Mall with Jenn and Kate and Draper Pool with Liz and Sam.
-Eating popsicles and looking for 'teetoh bugs' with Siri while Mark has been in Cali and Yellowstone.
-Loving Harmons and then realizing, oh yeah, I don't/can't shop here whenever I want because it's pricey. ...spent $36 in groceries for the week at WalMart today. Hate to love that place too.
-Listening to This American Life radio archive to replace time I'd spend watching TV
-Being depressed about all the ridiculous weeds in the garden.
-Buying plane tickets for a trip to Cali with my girlfriends in August.
-and some other stuff

Yeah, boring without pictures.
