Father's Day/ Dave and Becky's Birthdays

I'm 41!!!


On June 17th I turned 41!!! I had the most wonderful day!! My cute husband and boys got me my favorite, a Mrs. Backer's cake for my birthday. My boys took me to New Delhi Palace for lunch. It was delicious! That evening my good friend, Sally Kelsch, took me to see the A Team. What a great movie it was!! On Saturday, Ben and I went to Madeline's for a Prime Rib dinner to celebrate. I am so grateful to have had 41 wonderful years on this earth. I truly have had a very happy and fulfilling life so far and hope for at least 41 more!!!! I love my family!!!

Jake's tonsillectomy June 11, 2010


On Friday, June 11, Jake had his tonsils taken out. He had been getting strep pretty frequently and was to the point of a chronic sore throat. His tonsils were huge even when he wasn't sick! He did really well. When they took me back to the recovery room after the surgery, one of the nurses was feeding Jake a rootbeer slushie and the other was writing his "stats" down. Jake was sitting up with a smile on his face. One of the nurses looked at me and asked, "Can we keep him?" and then the other said, "Yes, can we keep him? He is the most adorable and pleasant patient we've ever had!" They proceeded to tell me how he had come out of the anesthetic "beautifully". They asked him when he was coming to, to tell them about himself and they said, "We learned his name is Jake Timm, he lives in Herriman and he plays football." Jake is such a great kid and he is super glad the surgery is over!!

Josh's 18th Birthday June 10, 2010



Josh turned 18 on June 10, 2010! Unbelievable that Benj and I are now parents of an adult. Man, we're not even old! Anyway, we had such a fun day. We took Josh to one of his favorite restaurants for lunch, Panda Express. That night we had a surprise party for him at Buca Di Beppo. All of his little cousins jumped out and yelled, "Surprise" as he walked into our own private room. What a fun night!

Trip to St. George and Zion June 3-6 2010

Trip to St. George and Zion June 3-6 2010


The day after Josh's graduation, we left for St. George for some rest and relaxation! We spent a few days down there enjoying the pool, the heat (since it has been a freezing cold spring!), and Zion National Park. While in Zion, we swim in the river pools up there. It is so much fun and the kids and hubby had a blast jumping into the nice cold water since it was 105 degrees while we were down there!

Josh's Graduation from High School June 2, 2010!!!


Josh graduated from Riverton High School on June 2, 2010. I can't believe he is this old. Where did time go? It wasn't that long ago that he was just a little boy, and now he is a young man. The graduation was held at the South Towne Expo Center since there were so many graduates. There were 850 that graduated that night and the Expo Center was packed! When they read off the names, they did it quickly, one right after another and it still took 40 minutes!! We are so proud of Josh and can't wait to see all the great things he will accomplish!
