Heart Walk 2010.
Here is part of our crew for the Heart Walk. The Franklunds didn't quite make it in time for the photo shoot....it could have been because they stopped by my house to get me pants. :) It was cold, rainy, and windy but we rocked the 5k. Who would have thought that June 12th would have been so yucky...47 degrees yikes! Nevertheless it was a good, quick walk for a great cause!
Priceless...
Another beautiful day in Colorado with a good friend hiking in Williams canyon....I am blessed!
Beautiful day for a hike.
Last Sunday I went hiking with Cynthia and her boys....and stopped to get a family shot. This is the best I could do..and I think it is adorable.
I think he is scared...
Wyatt must think we are going to be prosecuted or maybe he is gasping for air...or he is just being a boy!
Boys??
Do boys ever pose for a picture...I think they are always being weird. Walker, Wyatt and Cynthia at the top of Williams canyon. Nevermind the sign....
Being silly.
Maggie making faces in the car ride home. She is a smart little girl and the things she says always make me laugh.
What a good brother....
Jack after he had both of his fingers up his nose...I thought this picture did him more justice. He sacrifices everyday and he doesn't even know it by sitting in his sister's pink car seat. What a stud!
Ahhh...home.
How I miss the lakes of MN...but I do have the best of both worlds.
MN lakes and CO mountains, I'm a blessed girl!
Akiva is 6!
Celebrating Akiva's 6th birthday with him. Mighty Beanz were the way to go...oh and the Star Wars shirt. Trying to get a serious face outta him was impossible so we'll go with this. Love ya little guy!
Family.....
Taking the high road with this picture....see the statue behind us...well...this picture hides more than the other one I could be putting up...classy I know. Clifton, Jake and I doing dinner at Buca's.
He will be a good......
Jake and Amaria...such a cute picture I couldn't pass it up. He will be a good daddy someday.
So cute...
My cousin Clifton and his daughter Amaria at dinner. She was so cute whenever we posed for a picture she would put her arm around me....awwwww!
Dinner with Aunt Susuan..
Always glad to see my Aunt Susan. We all went out to Buca's for dinner, I had never been. It was good. Jake and Susan share the same birthday...Jake thinks that makes him special or something! :) Love you Aunt Susie!!
Grandma or Grocery?
Jake's car that he chauferred me around in for 2 days....I call it the grandma getter he says it's for groceries. It works..thanks little brother!
Cousins...
We had a blast running through the maze gardens...Demante beat us in both the kid and adult mazes.
The old cliche...
Take the time to stop and enjoy life around you, you never know when it will be the last time. Cherish, enjoy, laugh, love the time you have with family and friends!
Fountain shot.
Shelby, Aunt Theresa, me, Jake, and Demante playing by the water fountain at the Arboretum.
Playing in the Japanese gardens.
Walking through the Japanese gardens..Damante was scared we/Jake was going to push him into the water. That sounds like something Jake would do... :)
Amazing..
The twig/stick structure behind me was put together by many people with lots of sticks..very cool! It is on display during the summer at the MN Aroboretum.
Where does he get his height from??
Jake, Aunt Carol, and myself enjoying a picnic lunch in the backyard. Are we, meaning me, really that short?
My beautiful Mom!
Relaxing in Aunt Susie's backyard with Sharon, Carol and Jake. Good times and lots of laughs. Family is so important...they will always be there..remember that!!
A wonderful surprise.
Always taking time to see my family when I'm home. It was such a nice surprise to see my Aunt Sharon...it has been a while. We both have the same middle name..Sharon Beth and Sara Beth...coincidence??
A day at the beach.
Awww...Gull Lake at GVL's beach...brings back sooo many memories of my life in MN.
1. Babysitting at such a young age
2. Playing while mom was working
3. Soooo many nights as a teenager with friends
4. Play dates with friends and their kids
5. Being lazy and reading all day long
Silly me....
So, I didn't bring my suit back to MN with me..what was I thinking? I love swimming, but that didn't stop me from getting in the water to play with Brenna.
Warming up.
Angie and Brenna warming up after playing in the water. Brenna loves the water....she is very brave as well!
Long time friends....
Teri and I getting ready to crash after a great day together! I have to say she is the friend I have known the longest...we were in Kindergarten together. Now, we didn't really become friends till a little later in life but she has always been there for me. A friendship that has been through thick and thin and will always last! I love ya girl!!
New baby Grell.
My good friend Teri and I had an amazing day together..we went and saw Heather and her new little guy Jack. Andy is going to be a great big brother, I just know it! Have we done this before Teri?
Remembering....
Angie came with me to Mike's graduation....thank you for that...otherwise I would have been sitting all alone and bored! 15 years ago....I was the one graduating...wow where does time go? I don't feel that old...but I kind of feel old talking like this...awww!! :)
So grown up....
My little brother Michael has graduated...my job is now done...or is it just beginning? We are 15 years apart and have gone on many adventures together in our time....sweet memories!
Love it!
I was cleaning up the dinner table and Kale and I turned around and saw this...now I don't think he would do this with his mama around but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap the shot..it was so cute! :)
Restaurant toys?
I went to lunch with Keri and the boys to an amazingly delicious place in Brainerd called E Squared. It was all fresh, organic food...so yummy! Keri forgot to bring toys for the boys to be entertained at the restaurant but they found gloves in the bag and had fun with that. These are my kinda kids....don't need anything fancy to have fun. :) Love you Kale and Leif!

The old car.
When I grew up this car used to be at the park my mom would take us to...it is now at the park in Nisswa...brings back many memories of my little brother Adam!
Arboretum...
We took Brenna to the Arboretum and walked around...I was showing her a bird house...sadly no one was home.
Lemon anyone?
Brenna and Angie being silly at Rafferty's. She did not like the taste of lemon at all!
Road Trip to Palmer Lake
Tibbit, Woita, Dooley, and I driving up to Anne's to watch the season premiere of Bachelorette!
Sky Sox...
My first ever "first pitch" at a baseball game. It was CPR night at the stadium and we trained 4459 people. It was amazing.

My favorite class!
My 5th and 6th periods of the day always seem to be my favorite classes when I have taught math. Here is my 6th period class, minus one who had to take the pic....I couldn't have asked for a better group of kids! I will miss them!
Do not try this anywhere....
Blowing off some steam in math class. It was the 2nd to the last day of school and we were doing our aerobics in math class. One of my favorite students Cece decided he needed to go to the bathroom and jumped over his desk....so me, being the responsible one...told him to do it again so I could get a good shot. My Assistant Principal didn't think it was so cool..but she laughed nevertheless....we have to have some fun!
My 7G team
Here's to another year of surviving middle school. This was my team for the 2009-2010 school year. Pat, me, Alex, and Gay, these ladies were amazing and I couldn't have done it without them.
