It's becoming a Burr family tradition that every summer the a/c in our house and in our car need replaced...I guess that's what happens when you live in a place that for a quarter of the year it is over 100 degrees outside. We don't have the funds for a "real" pool, so we did the next best thing and bought a pool from K-Mart. Best part...it only cost $12. It's so fun that we can all fit in the pool and cool off! Don't you love our lawn mower in the background??
I know this may look like a Gatorade advertisement, but this is actually right after I ran the Recycled 10K Run with my friend Kim. Not only were the running shirts that they gave us recycled, but also the medals. I wasn't too happy when I crossed the finish line and got a medal that said "4th of July Independence Run 2013 1 Mile Run". Ha ha, I didn't train for a mile run, just sayin....
After running every morning together for a few months we finally decided to train for something, so we signed up to do this 10K. It was a super hot race (in the 80s when we started), without any shade, all on black pavement and I couldn't find my running shorts...but we did it!
The day after the race was Father's Day. We're so blessed to have such a great and cute guy in our lives. Here is Greg with his two daughters.
This is what Emily would look like if she wore glasses.
Here she is without glasses.
So cute...she fell asleep holding one of her toys.
Where is Leslie??
For my 31st birthday Greg bought me a plane ticket to go see my three sisters who live out east. On Thursday, June 11 I flew with Leslie from Las Vegas to Cleveland. Considering we flew for four hours, without any stops, I'd say she did pretty good.
When we arrived, my sister Heather picked us up. All of her five kids were in the car as well and treated me like a celebrity. It was pretty fun evening.
The next morning I went on a 2 mile walk with Heather by her house. It was a beautiful day in Ohio and SO GREEN! I'm not used to that...
Heather is so lucky to live in the country.
Sisters! Heather is three years older than me. It was fun to have some quality time together.
This is what Leslie looked like at the beginning of our walk.
After a 2 mile walk Leslie looked like this.
Later that morning we went to Lake Milton to go swimming. It's about 20 minutes from Heather's house. The weather was perfect and all the kids were so happy.
My precious Leslie.
She's almost 5 months old!
Here is Leslie being cute with Paul.
Here I am with my three sisters (from oldest to youngest) at the lake: Sarah, Heather, Bethany, and me...I have 3 MORE sisters too! I'm so lucky!
Right when we left the lake, it started to rain. Of course I had to take a picture. It only rains in Vegas like three times a year!
That evening we went on a sisters date to an Amish Valley Farmers Market for dinner and then went clothes shopping at Gabe's. We know how to have a good time.
These two cuties came along with us: Lesie and Juliet (Heather's baby).
On Saturday we ran a Color Run. Don't I look happy?
The crew before the race: Heather, me, Bethany, Sarah, Merrody, and Joel.
After the race...we look so awesome!
Sisters!
Some things never change...
After the race we showered and then went to the White House Fruit Farm. We hung out by the lake for a while and fed the catfish. I know you can't really see any in this picture, but I tried.
Heather with her favorite niece.
Danny (Bethany's son) and Leslie being cute.
Cousins for life: Leslie, Danny, and Juliet.
Later that day we hung out in Heather's backyard. The kids played and played while the adults visited.
That night we had a delicious barbecue. Heather and Austin know how to put on a good party!
On Sunday we went to church and then the reunion was over. In this picture we're about to say a prayer. Thanks everyone for the great time and most of all thanks to Greg for being so thoughtful and letting me come.
Since it got so hot last week we decided to play in the sprinklers. Turns out Emily has really good aim...
And so does Greg.
Emily LOVES helping make meals and desserts, now I know why!
I couldn't pass up an opportunity to take a picture like this. They were both dead asleep!
Here we are with my cousin's wife Brooke and their baby Avery. Leslie and Avery are 2 weeks apart. We're convinced they'll be roommates at BYU. P.S. We all match and we didn't even plan it!
My little cutie pie.
Emily loves giving Leslie hugs.
I love my two girls!
