Back in K-town

For those that aren't from "K-town" and that don't know, a lot of people from Kaysville refer to it as "K-town. Okay. Maybe not a lot of people do, but my friends and I did in High School. So it's always natural to call it that each time I come home. It's fun to be here! We're making the most of this time we have before Brent is tied down to corporate life with AT&T. It's funny to be back in the home I grew up in with my own child, living here for a short time. But my parents have been wonderful, and I have only them to thank for letting us stay here. Here's a random, in-no-particular-order, jumbled up post of pictures showing what we've been up to:

I went out to dinner with a few of my girlfriends from High School. Wow! I am amazed at how even though we all have changed and grown into our own a little more, we can always get together and pick up where we left off, and we are close because we have such awesome memories together. We were missing about 10 others, but it was still fun.

Me, Jordan who is cute and prego, Emily, Jamie, and Nicole, who is also cute and prego

I also got to meet up with Jenae for a short time, and she stayed the night at my parent's with her little girl. Some may remember a birthday shout out post to her a few months back. We became great friends our senior year and spent a year and a half as college roommates. And Brooke just LOVED Jenae. Can you tell by this picture of them?

Brent has been helping out around my parents house. Trimming the hedge outside was a huge job! He made it look just perfect.

Oh, and this is exciting. My little sister's missionary came home last week! I have loved being here and being privy to all that has taken place. I think they are such a darling couple. And hey-I'm hoping it works out. :)

My grandma was recently diagnosed with breast cancer for the THIRD time. What an amazing women, eh? My cousins ran the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake in honor of her. You can read about that here and here. I got to drive her to her last radiation treatment in Salt Lake. They put a cap on her and took a "graduation" picture at the cancer center. I had such a great time taking her. We talked about everything. If you know her, you know she really can talk about EVERYTHING. :)

Brooke has been having a blast with all these people around. I'm a little worried for when we get to Texas and it's just Brooke and me at home all day again. I hope she'll adjust alright. She's getting lots of time in with Grammie Lou and Grandpa Dave. We'll make it down to visit the Guerisoli side in a few weeks.

I am really loving this age for her right now! She does the cutest things but she's not walking yet. This picture of what she's doing with my Mom is a good example of what she does when she sees people. She sticks her hand out like she's greeting them, or saying, "here I am!" This week she starting saying Ma-ma and Da-da which I just love, of course. She's got a great laugh, too. Just a happy, little baby, soon-to-be-one year old!

She also smiles great for the camera. Brent held out the camera and took this. Look at how perfect she looks!

And this has got to be the best pic ever. We didn't even tell her to do anything and she is totally CHEESING it! I might need to frame this or something.

Our next adventure: Mexico on SATURDAY!
