Speaking of family…Monday for Family Night we went to a local nursery to look for plants to put in our planters.  Unfortunately, all the plants we were looking for were either sold out or “out of season”.  I guess our planters will be lonely until spring.  On the plus side:  there were bunnies.  Zach had a bunny named Oscar once, but it hopped away.  Literally.  So Zach has a soft spot in his heart for all the Oscars out there in the world…

Wednesday was the Zagg Golf Tournament up in Midway.  E2 sponsors the 8th hole, so my boss let his daughter Hayley, Darrah, and I man the event.  There was a contest to win awesome Jazz tickets, tons of food, and we even scored some great free gear!

We ended the day with a really late lunch at Tarahumara – fantastic Mexican food with an amazing salsa bar.

Friday night was Zach’s play-off ice hockey game at the Oval.  They were victorious and Zach is officially the highest scoring player in his entire adult league.

High-fives through the glass were well deserved:  I am his number one fan!

Saturday was a long day.  On my agenda for Saturday morning was to attempt my very first triple activity day.  I woke up way too early for a Saturday – swam at the South Davis Rec Center, rode my bike [actually Zach’s bike] up and down the Legacy Trail, and ran around my neighborhood.  I survived.  I now feel a little more confident about this whole thing coming up in September.  My only two goals are to: not drown and to finish.  The first is by far the most important of the two.

Around lunch time Zach and I made our way over to City Creek to check out the release of the new [kind of] Jordan’s.  Just call us Kim and Kanye:  we left with a pair for each of us.

After more Mexican food at the food court we drove home to meet my family at our neighborhood splash pad.  My cousins were in from San Diego and we decided to get together with the kids and have some fun.  We spent a good two + hours at the Foxboro North splash pad and then had a finale of Hot N’ Ready Pizza and some serious playground action.

Sunday my cousin Brady [Corporal Brady Fotheringham, to be exact] blessed his baby boy Cody at my Grandma’s ward in Magna.  Soooo many Fotheringhams came out to celebrate.  My Grandma shared the sweetest testimony during the meeting as well.  I wish I could have recorded it or written it down somehow.  We spent the rest of the afternoon eating lunch, Texas sheet cake, and going though old family photos.  We discovered that even though my brother doesn’t want to admit it, he is an identical clone of my father.  Photos from my Dad’s mission in England prove it.

Also, my mother weighed 98 pounds on her wedding day.  Is she even serious?  I haven’t weighed 98 pounds since middle school…so…there ya go.

It was great to see family that lives so far away and to spend so much time with the ones we are so lucky to have close!
