mara being goofy

Last Thursday night Jonah, Mara, Bobby, Ang, and Weston went camping, they had a great time!!

They went dirtbiking, Mara even shared her dirt bike with Bobby, Ang and Wes.

I think Bobby and Ang look like they are having fun, I do not know if Wes really liked it though.

I was home by myself the entire night it was very strange, a little too quiet.

Thursday was the first time in over four years ( mara is 3 and then when I was pregnant with her) that I haven't had Mara under the same roof as me:(

I watched movies and worked on a puzzle for Mara's room, which I finally finished last night ( Sunday ) it was tougher than I thought it would be.

How it came to be!!!!!

Jonah and I met in 1997 junior year math class at Jordan High School :) We dated senior year, then after we graduated we were "friends" for the next two years. In 2000, we started our courtship again, July 14, 2001 we were married.
