True love..is a guy who calls you beautiful everyday, anytime, anywhere. Who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... The boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. True love is realizing they're not perfect--but not settling...appreciating. Suddenly realizing that you have a new best friend. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her"...

For my Cassidy...
Last night Cassidy brought something to my attention that was bothering her. She informed me that since she was the middle child, she was not as loved. She went on to explain that since Jaydan was the only boy, he gets a ton of attention, and since Kayleigh was the baby, she gets tons of attention. And she was feeling left out.
Of course I almost started to cry, and I hugged her and explained that I loved her so much, and I loved each of them equally. I knew that she was listening to what I said, but she wasn't buying it. I sat on the couch and held my little girl in my arms and started telling her about the day she was born.
The truth is... a mother has never wanted or loved a little girl more than I wanted a baby girl. When I first held her tiny little fingers and kissed her dark, full head of hair, something in my heart changed.
For the next half hour we talked about why she is so loved, and how my life would not be complete without her.
So, today, it's just for Cassidy.

Lila & Lola...Double Trouble=Double Love
It has been said that twins skip a generation. Well, my grandma is an identical twin, and sure enough, it skipped a generation! The difference is, my sister and I aren't identical.
It isn't very often I get to see my grandma and Nana (Lila and Lola) because they live in CA. But, they came to Utah a few weeks ago while I was out visiting with the kids. I'm so glad my kids got to meet their wonderful "great twins." They are the funniest little ladies you will ever meet in your life!
When they were younger, they used to be show girls and dance and sing. They were known as the famous Baker Twins. I remember going to Angels stadium every summer with my grandma and now have a love for baseball because of it. And still, at 31 yrs old, I get sung happy birthday from those two every single year.
Two wonderful women, who have been an example and inspiration to me.
I love them so much! xoxo

Florida and my best friend
I got to spend a few days in Florida with my very best friend and twin sister...Nicole. It was kind of a spontaneous trip, but we filled it up with the pool, beach, staying up late, laughing about nothing, and talking about everything! My brother in law Casey is so great, because he knows Nicole and I are both cookoo for cocoa puffs, and when we get together he just puts up with us. We had so much fun, but it was too short:(
I love this picture because we were laughing hysterically about I don't even know what!
Dear Summertime...please don't leave me
Well, it's official, summer is officially coming to an end. School starts in 2 weeks, and I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. Ok, who am I kidding?! I will definitely be ready for the kids to start school again! I'm just not ready for what comes soon after that...SNOW! I hate snow. I hate winter. But, I love Colorado, so snow it is.
This has been a great summer. I've had so much fun with my kids! We spent the last 3 weeks in Utah just hanging out at the Lake, the pool, going to movies and being with family.

I hiked the Y in Provo with Jaydan very early one morning. I used to do it all the time as a teenager so I was so excited to take him there! We had so much fun! It was actually way harder than I remember!
Lindon Pool...this pool saves my life when I visit Utah in the summer. Jaydan does the FloRider all day! I need one in my backyard!
