Playing MOM...

oh man... i just love my life. i REALLY do. this weekend was SUCH a good one. friday consisted of a girls night with kim and lauren. love them. really do. then came saturday. owen and lindsay went out of town.. which meant reagan was mom!! rayder whitney and i had such a fun weekend. saturday night we went and saw tangled in 3d.. SOOO good. loved it so much more than the original one. then sunday went to church.. love that ward. it was my old ward so that called for old friends and old memories. so much fun!! sunday we also went to dinner at my parents with chandler and mckay while my parents were gone to hawaii. we made pizza and edemome, and i made my famous mac and cheese. yeah.. it's bomb! we then went back home, watched a movie, and went to bed. now monday... THAT was a good day! i got to hang out with little raydeR ALL day while whit went to school. i stinkin LOVE that kid. we went shopping, saw my sis-in-law, took a nap, went on a walk, and then picked up mere's kids and went to skyline jr high to swim!! (sorry no pics.. i failed!) so much fun!! let's just say i love playing mom. i love "my" little kids and the relationship i have with them! i wouldn't trade being an aunt for ANYTHING! in other news, the rocket is working wonderfully. also, piano is good, school is AMAZING.. --midterm in a couple weeks-- and lifeguarding is approaching! this time of year, is my favorite! :) (actually i think i say that about all the seasons.. just go with it!)
