Women's Conference
 |
| The month started with me at BYU Women's Conference. I have a tradition to start the conference for a run up past the Provo Temple. Utah Lake is in the background and it is always spectacular. This year Kathy, Mom and I drove and we met Heidi, Annette and Jesica in Provo. It is always rejuvinatining and wonderful. I am grateful Danny is supportive and takes time off so I can go! |

| We had to stop to try a cupcake in honor of one of our favorite bloggers, Stephanie Nielson. |

| William's reasons he loves me:) |

 |
| This picture summarizes my difficulty in life. I am a conformist who is raising a bunch of non-conformists. William wanting nothing to do with the rehearsal, his shoes or me taking a photo. This boy does whatever he is determined to do. I do love him for it though and I'm learning a lot in the process! |

Fathers & Sons
 |
| Sending the boys off to the annual Fathers & Sons Campout. William's First! Claire and I had a lovely evening shopping, dining and watching a Barbie movie at home. I took no pictures so memory will have to suffice. |

| Sleeping on the way to the wedding | Sun & Josh's WeddingWilliam was asked to be the ring bearer for one of our favorite nurses from our stay at Kaiser Fontana PICU. Sun married Josh, a respiratory therapist who would also come in to play with William. We were honored to be part of their special day. They both give so much to the people they work and associate with. To say the wedding was beautiful was an understatement. It was gorgeous and we had a great time! |

| Posing in front of the Grand Traditions Estate |
 |
| How William really felt about all this dressing up :) |
 |
| Claire was not to be left out of the posing and photos |
 | |
| We weren't sure he would do it but were so proud when he did. We promised him a raft and he definitely looked like "here's your ring, can I leave yet?" but we were glad. The cute girl in the navy sweater and red dress we met later. She is also a PICU graduate (once hospitalized and now well). It was fun to see old friends from our long stay at Kaiser Fontana and meet new friends! |
