Who Knew?

October 4 was a huge event for 7,000 inspiring, determined people from all around the country. The St. George Marathon is an event that some look forward to years ahead of time. Those of us who don't run, have never run or are just starting to get their groove on in the running world, we have yet to experience the feeling of accomplishment only a runner knows after making it 26.2 miles. Congratulations to all of you who ran and to those of you who freakin kicked some major bootie and beat your previous time or times. Way to go studs. You guys ROCK!

Which leads me to the title of my post " Who Knew" that we would be celebrating some more very important birthdays this weekend.
First of all... my mom. Known to this clan as :Big L, Big Lis, L.B., Mom or Lisa. She turned 47 on October 4. She doesn't look much past the late 30's and loves being reminded daily (seriously) that she is to young looking to be a grandma and that I must be her sister. No jokes, her head is going to explode with the swelling from those of you who find it unbelievable that she is 47. I have to admit, she is cute and if I can look as good as she when I'm that age then bring it on!
Here's to you mom. I love you and I appreciate every moment we have to spend together. Your

an amazing example of strength and love and your the most genuine person I have ever known.

Next, to my main squeeze, my babe, my man. Justin turned the big "25" on Oct.5. Wow, is he getting old or what? He celebrated his day by driving to Virgin to watch a bike tournament and then came home to go out on a bike ride of his own. For those of you who don't know he is totally hard core on the mountain bike and he could be gone for days out in the wilderness.

Hope you had a great day riding your bike and grubbin down on some of LB's home cookin. Here's to you and remember what you said... you know this year is going to be good. Go get 'em tiger! We love you babe!

Happy Birthday to our niece Sage on October 4 too! We love you Sagie.

PaRtY, pArTy, PARTY

Check Below 4 Pics @ Dyl's Party. I can't get it 2 post here & it's real cute!!!
So dont worry about me being just a little behind the times... or alot! The beginning of September was quite hectic (as months usually are) with the exception of some wOnDeRfUl celebrations over at our pad.
Dylans birthday is September 15 and our wedding anniversary is September 22.
It was like one party after another with Dylans cousin Treyton's B-day on the 9th, Dyl's friend Jaxson the 12th, Dyl celebrated at his preschool on Friday,his cousins and nana from SLC had a party on Sat., church had a party on Sunday, and FINALLY, yes FINALLY the big day arrived on Monday! He was so excited because every party we went to he asked if it was his party! We had so much fun at the park and enjoyed all of Dylans friends and parents that came.

P.S. If you order your special persons cake from Wal-Mart call to double check that the cake is actually done. Even if they tell you on the phone when you make the order that it will be done, call anyways! We pulled the head off of a Shreak cake and the girl tried to make it look like an emergency zone in 20 minutes before the party started. Hmm... did I hear you say " Should have called 25 and Main"? Ya, when we get rich and famous I will!!!

I would also like to tell my babe that he's fabulous and thanks for a great 1 year official. (yes peeps, he is my baby daddy and we lived in sin for 3 years)
Sometimes stuff happens and you learn to grow together regardless of your situation. We've been makin it happen since I hired him at Pac Sun over 4 years ago and then he quit and then he confessed his love for me! he he (he really did though). We have been together ever since. Through the thickness and the thinness, we just keep workin it. Love ya, sugar ....... ( I can't use those words on the blog, but some of you know it) he he

Yes, I'm IT!

So, like the wonderful game of tag that I have been missing out on until I got my blog, I'm It, by two people. YES(said just like Napolean Dynamite)

4 things I adore about my husband:

1.No lies here ladies, my babe shops for the grocerys and I can't tell him enough times THANK YOU!

I don't like wasting time and I feel like shopping for our groceries is a waste of good time and I have issues with people sometimes. My husband unselfishly gets the groceries and knows that almost 99% of the time I will be home taking a nap.

2.He changes Petey's Diaper(catbox). Ever since I was preggers and we found out that pregnant ladies should not be around cat litter because of all of the stuff in it, he unselfishly changed it and still does. Somestimes I do have to remind him, but he always does it

3. He is super, super smart. He always reads tonz of books in all different categories of life. He wants to help anyone and everyone he can in the financial departments of their life and he trys to influence people with his knowledge and time in anyway that he can. At the times when his knowledge is over my head and I am trying really hard to get it and understand I am just so happy that he pays the bills and will do whatever it takes to keep our family running.

4. He always, always supports me in everything that I do. If it's a new exercise regimen or the way I want to discipline Dylan, he always hears me out. He trys it my way and even if he doesn't always like it right at that moment, he still follows through for the bigger plan. He supported me in school while we were new parents, he supported me in my beliefs and started coming to church and now leads us in that journey, he supports me in my new-found running carrer, he supports me by putting up with my fam(love you guys) and attends all the functions with a glad heart, he supports me in the love I have for all my friends and that sometimes I need to be their for them. Thanks Just for being a great guy that puts up with alot of stuff. You are the most mature 24 year old I know and I love you for it! he he

September 20, 2008

What an amazing way to spend a sUnNy Saturday afternoon! My amazingly creative neighbor came to our benefit for Kassie and Jerym and I asked her to just start taking tons of pictures of all the happenings. I didn't point out anyone in the family and she took some of the most moving pictures I could have ever asked for. I went to pick up the pics and she had put them to this song.

It's not often in life that you are able to open your heart to experience the gift of love. Love is something that can be given and also received if you are willing to be ready at any point in time for the possibilities that can change your life because of it.

Love really is the greatest gift you can ever give and I will be forever greatful for the opportunity I had to love Kassie and Jerym. Knowing both of them and their families helped me have a better understanding of the words "unconditional love".

If you haven't given it- Give it. If you haven't felt it- Let yourself feel it. If you haven't opened your heart to receive it- Open it and open it wide. Our lives will forever be changed now that they are gone, but they were already forever changed because we had them in it. With love always, Kerra

*EVERYONE* Please Read

Everyone Please forward this blog site to Everyone that did or did not know Kassie and Jerym Lee. A benefit has been set up for Sat. Sept. 20 @ 9:00 am and we want EYERYONE to come! Thanks for your help and C U There!!!

Yo-Naturals Baby! It's Organic

Here is a day in the life of a vending machine owner- Oh, that 's ME!

We meet the big semi and unload his truck into our truck(thanks waybs for the truck)LoOk at all those boxesWhat a minute, who is this handsome little devil? And what BIG muscles he hasHow about this hallway that gets filled with the boxes from the truck that we get to unpack and sort for each machine? Sounds like fun, doesn't it!!!Umm... dElICiouS and NutRutiOus treatsThat's alot of garbage to recycle!!(earth friendly, that's me)Wow, who organized that closet? She must be AmAZinG!!!How's my girl lookin? Pretty cute I know and there are 4 more just like her So, there you have it folks. A day or should I say days in the life of a vendor. Don't forget to place the order, go to Costco to pick up drinks, drive to all 4 locations and 1 of them needs you 2 times a week cause the kiddos are diggin the treats, decide what stuff to switch up if a product doesn't sell and hope you made a good choice, go to the bank to cash in your money and remind the teller each time that you are NOT a stripper or drug dealer cause you come in once a week to deposit bundles of one's.
We wanted to bring something to the schools and workplace that was healthy and yummy so our kids can have something other then a sugar high and a sugar low. The products are organic, gluten and wheat free, low in natural sugar and YUMMY. Next time the chitlens need some money for the vending machine ask if it's Yo-Naturals and tell them to try it if they haven't. You too!!!
Don't forget to give your vending machine person a hug next time cause it's a "Dirty Job, but somebody's got to do it"

I'm ObsEsSeD!!!!

Ok, so when you have changed your template 4 times in a week and you only started blogging like 1 month ago, you have a problem.
Not to mention that you haven't been sleeping for the past 3 days because you are so worried about how to get your slideshow to post. You would think that you were a single, unemployed, non-home owner with not a care in the world, who can sit on the computer day and night BLOGGING!
Hello people, It's me I'm talkin about! After 2, yes I said 2 cups of coffee at 10:30pm to keep me going, I think I figured it out. My awesome sis-in law(and husband) walked me through some stuff and then low and behold my BFF just happens to be awake and walks me through some other important stuff!! Love You Guys!
I knew I didn't want a blog for this very reason. I just can't stop! I'm reading all of yours and updating all of mine and it's like an obsession. I wait for the days to pass so I can post another of what I think is a very insightful post, pics included.
So, when you see me in real, life not via blog, please-DO NOT BE ALARMED- at the bags under my eyes, hair totally messy, no makeup and the same t-shirt in 4 days. I have not started any extra curricular(might I add,ILLEGAL)activities although at the rate I'm going I may need some. No it's just a good old case of the "Can't figure out all the computer lingo for my blog" blues!
