"Celebrate good times, COME ON!"

I endeavored in my first big Choffy show at the Women's Show 2010. It was two days straight of a whole bunch of standing and a whole bunch of fun! The best part was spending two days with my friends old and new; Esther Ogden, Andi Sherwood and Allie Burris. Thank you Mom and Dad for taking care of the boys and making those two days possible!


Stephanie, Cyrus, Katie (Edminster) Whitten, baby Lillian and I finished off the long weekend by walking the Women's Fitness Celebration race. I was so impressed that Cyrus walked nearly the entire way before he needed ride in the stroller, and I, at three months pregnant, didn't pass out half way through!


It was nice to participate in the race with Katie again, just like in grade school days!

We had a fun surprise at the end of the race when Uncle Race was there to cheer us on in a tuxedo coat and bright blue shorts! It was so much fun... I hope team Choffy, Stephanie, Cyrus and Katie will be up for doing this again next year!

All Aboard!

The Union Pacific Railroad Steam Locomotive came to Boise during its tour of the Northwest.
This was one huge train, and seeing this steam locomotive was a first for me.

Papaw was so excited to show his two boys this amazing train.
He even bought them their own train whistles, toy stacking train and t-shirt to remember it!



We met the train conductor. He was really nice and he told us all about the train.

AUGUST* The Case Family Reunion was in Ashton.


Despite my migraine headache that came on one hour
before family pictures, the photo session

lots of smiles and tons of fantastic pictures!

A Stegosaurus Birthday

Happy 4th Birthday Cyrus!
"My name is stegosaurus. I'm a funny looking dinosaur..."

Cyrus celebrated his 4th birthday with all his friends.
They decorated their party bags, played bean bag toss,
pin the tail on the stegosaurus, had a cake walk.

Make a wish!
Cyrus,
You are an amazing 4-year-old!
We have often wondered what life was like
before you were born.
You are such a happy and busy and cool boy.
We have loved every minute you have been in this world.

Lex's 10-year Class Reunion

North Freemont High School Class of 2000 10 Year Class Reunion
Lex and I had a great time seeing his friends from high school.
There was a picnic at Ashton Park,
a tour of the new high school,
and
a great catered dinner with a slide-show about all the
class members and the last ten years of their lives.
Lex and some of his classmates were able to go visit a boy from their class who was home-bound and unable to attend the reunion.
What a wonderful group of friends!
