So, I'm sorry for slacking on the blog! Every time I talk with someone it's "Mandy! You haven't updated your blog in weeks!" My reasons? I am on a computer for 8 hours everyday and when I get home the last thing I want to do is sit down to blog....But anyway here's the latest in our lives....
Russell's Mission Reunion
It's not very common to have a mission reunion in May but Russell's mission president was ordained a seventy in April and was in town for meetings. I've met his first prez but had never met this one...although he didn't speak much english I loved and was honored to meet him. When he and his wife spoke it was pretty neat to see every guy whispering in their wifes ear to translate!

Babysitting Lil Soph
In case you forgot this is our niece Sophia (born on my bday!) We were privileged to watch her while her parents and brothers went to see Wall-e. Isn't she cute?
Fridays At the Park
This is where you'll find us...after work we hit Gandolfo's for sandwiches then head to the park for a picnic. Food, blanket, books and we usually see some interesting entertainment.
A parachuter landed right next to us-crazy!
If you can't make this out, it's a boy tight rope walking...we secretly filmed him, he wasn't very good but I guess that's why he was practicing!
WHAT'S COOKIN' AT THE STEPHENS...
After eating a Papa Murphy's pizza months ago we decided we could recreate it...and oh boy did we ever! All the ingredients are pictured for our Chicken Garlic Pizza (oh except for the chicken)!
Russell makes the yummiest bread sticks
If you want the deets on the pizza ask me-I have so much to post I just
dont have time to post it right now.
-THE CHEF-
I think I was begging to go to bed...at 9pm!
Pool Party
Before Brad & Kim left for dental school :( we had a huge pool party at Kim's parents...we all had a blast and Russell and I miss them very much. They used to live just 10 doors down from us and we're a tad lonely now.
Kim & Me
The BOYS one last time
Wii Fit
Russell's brother has a Wii and recently got wii fit...we were hooked immediately! And I'm pretty good haha...I do hold many records; my greatest feats are the ski jump and hula hoop-my hips don't lie!
We were running. Oh and for those who know about Wii Fit here's our Wii ages:
Mandy-21
Russell-39
(I think you can tell who's in better shape haha, love you honey!)
The Garrett's Visit
I held
Abby almost every second we were with my cousins Jen & Matt...she's much bigger since we met her in February and is oh so adorable!
And I did occasionally share with Russell
As for everything else going on in our lives...my parents fly in Thursday for a visit and we can't wait to see them! Also, we're training for a biathlon later this summer and I'm running the Provo City half marathon in just over a month! Today we did 12 miles and before we left Russell told me he didn't think I'd make it...dont worry, I proved him wrong! Love and miss you all! XOXO
