Blake being a boy and asking if we could take it home.
Blake found out that going down a water slide by himself was quite the rush, he ended up really liking it and having a great time.
Luke- my lounge man! Just working on his tan. He doesn't have time for frivolous things like water slides and diving. He's all business!
Later that night we were able to see the fantastic fireworks show that PG city puts on. We have been going for years and are never disappointed!
What better place for a photo opt then a firework show? Fantastic lighting! We all have a natural glow. Blake loved them even though he looks board out of his mind.
My Mom and Dad -two of the best people I know! I don't think my dad is happy with me for interrupting his firework show to get this photo. The man takes his pyro-technics very seriously!
We were all pleased that Schaack & Co paid us a visit that night. What could be better then a bunch of Cooks, carmel popcorn, red vines and glow sticks? Obviously they made a good choice to join us!
The next day we ventured off on an ATV trip. We hit up a trail from Wasatch State Park to Cascade Springs. The kids loved it and I don't think I have ever seen my Mom so dirty or with a mustache!
Ryan, Camden, & Sue Ann finishing up their ride. Ryan once again thinks it's a race and is giving us the fist pump because he thinks it makes him look cool. I think it's still up for debate. Still not sure what kind of gang sign my mom is flashing. I will have to follow up with that.
Bryce and Caiden -the wild ones! If there was any extra bump or jump to hit they were the first to do it. Also Bryce thought it was fun to spin donuts in the parking lot we were all hanging out at....thanks for the dust bath! 
We stopped for lunch at Cascade Springs. We found a nice shady spot right in the middle of the trail. I'm sure people were annoyed but we were hot and hungry. Steph, Bryce, and Chad snagged the bench after the old lady with the cane was all rested up.
Shelley and the beautiful Londyn.
Ryan and boys. Ryan was giving a bit more of the "nature" feel by making duck calls with grass and leaves.
End of a long weekend, Blake said it felt like we were on vacation and we should do this everyday! I agree. We had a lot of fun and were able to squeeze in lots of activities. Thanks everyone for all the good times and memories!
Blake getting set up with his timing chip
Running our way to the finish line!
Blake so proud of his accomplishment
Blake has wanted to run a race for a while now. He has had his sights set a doing a triathlon but I told him he would have to wait until he was a dad before he could start doing those. So he decided that he wanted to run a "marathon" and wanted me to do one with him. (Why not Chad he is the one in shape?) Lucky for me we found a 1 mile run to do together. And surprisingly, he actually did really well and ran more then I thought he would, we only had to walk two or three times and still came in at about 12 1/2 minutes. Pretty good for me considering I haven't run in years and we never "trained' for our big event! I can kiss that 7 minute mile I had in high school goodbye...those days are clearly over! I really had a great time and seeing his face as we crossed the finish line made the side ache I had the whole time not hurt as bad. Thanks Blake I had a great time and would love to do another one with you! 
Blake has just about finished his 2008 T-Ball season and this year I think that he liked it. Last year he showed no interest in the game and pretty much wore his glove as a hat the entire time he was in the outfield. So I knew this year would be full of improvements!
I really think he plays sports because he loves Gatorade and feels he NEEDS one after a game. He says it gives him back his energy, and T-ball takes a lot of energy!
This is me before...
This is me after....I look like so much more fun.
These people are genius!! 
So I've been thinking that I could use a change in the hair department. So I began my Google search for Kirsti's next "new do". I came across this site were you could upload your photo and "try them on". So that is just what I did, and as you can see I tried them ALL on. This is now my new guilty pleasure and Luke's nap time has never been so much fun. I am just finding that it is not long enough, oh, how those two hours fly by!! Blake and I were having so much fun doing this we may find pictures of you our friends and family and give you a little "Virtual Makeover"...you've been warned.
I was seriously thinking of doing a shorter cut like a A-line or something but now that I have put them all on I definitely think I am going to go for the perm (only because I can't get curls without one), and as an added bonus it's Blake's favorite. What do you think??

...I don't know if the world is ready for this!
(are you Chad???)
Chad is amazing! For my birthday he surprised me with a trip to NYC!!! (it's a bit early but now we can celebrate my b-day all month.) I have wanted this forever and now I'm going and can't believe it! Between Chad and Jenn they pretty much had the whole thing planned and I had no clue. Thanks for the great surprise and letting me "open" my present early.
