I had the best day with you today!!!

We spent Katie's birthday day at the Gateway
in SLC and had so so much fun.

Gabe loved the fountains!

And got soaked!

Fun day!

This was water from the fountain, not rain.

Ok. She swears it is going to look cuter when her
hair is all done. You are beautiful no matter what!

Picking out Kung Fu Panda

Washing our hands at Bath and Body Works.

Hot Topic lady with blue hair. Gabe loved this store!

Kate...You are old enough to buy tobacco. But you better not or else I will have to spank you.
I can't believe you are 19. Wow...I know this sounds like a cliche, but the time has flown by. I treasure every moment and every memory I have with my kids. I am a rich person.
Thanks for the memories and for all the future memories I look forward to.

El Matador....it was yummers!

Gabe...and his tongue

Bro and sis

A Day of Fun and Fathers!

And my babes!

My first loves!

Fathers....

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. I have a great dad and I have a great husband who is a great dad. I have 2 sons who are great dads. And let's not forget my great father in law! I love you all.

I love all the dads in my life. You guys rock my world. Rob and Cam--it touches my heart to see how much you love your little guys. Be good examples to them throughout your life. Little boys grow up to be dads. You are their teacher.

My dad was my teacher. He taught me many things I will always treasure. He loved me unconditionally.

Ron is a great father. He adores his kids and loves them more than ever. He has been to every school concert, dance recital, baseball game, soccer game, basketball game, whatever! He has coached the boys in baseball, taught them how to pitch and how to catch. He has done Katie's hair with 18 barrettes (which didn't match). He has been there for our kids and still is.

Happy Father's Day!

Dream

Make this the day you stop dreaming and start doing!

Finally....

Today, I did something that surprised me. I was able to be thankful for the past year. I am thankful for what I have learned. Is it forgiveness I am feeling? Am I feeling sorry for who they are--because they have not learned the important things I have learned? I pity them for who they are and what they are...for they are the same people as they have always been and they are living the same day to day rut.

I know this:
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

Thank you for making my life so very miserable, that I changed it. I am much better in my new life. I am a better person than any of you are and I am so incredibly happy. And guess what! You will never have what I have, ever! So thank you.
