Summertime, and the Living is Easy

Now that the weather is allowing for time spent outdoors, my Dad and I are taking advantage of the beauty of Park City by doing a bit of hiking.  He loves to tell me all about the wildflowers, birds, and weeds that we see along the way...

Dangit, I can't remember what this one is called.

Oh!  What is that girl eating that is making her belly so HUGE?

Saturday, June 20, the Spanish Branch threw an "asada" for the Jensens who have moved to Bountiful.  We'll miss those guys!

Wyatt did a great job as the farmer in the Utah Dance Center's rendition of The Wizard of Oz at Kingsbury Hall on June 18. 

12th Annual JudgesRun 5K- June 13.  Bret's boss and our dear friend, Peter Stirba, formed the Judgesrun Foundation in memory of his wife, Utah Judge Anne Stirba who battled breast cancer and passed away several years ago while their daughter, Emily Stirba and I were at Princeton together.  Bret's family, Wes, Lydia and I were able to participate this year.

Lydia won a prize for traveling the farthest to get to the Judgesrun (all the way from New Jersey!)  I still think I should've gotten a Preggo-Prize!

We are so grateful to Peter Stirba for helping Lydia land her summer job at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.  We hope that she makes some great contacts while she's here so she can complete her residency in Utah.  While parents frequently tell their children that they can do anything, Lydia is really the only one I know who is actually working on finding a cure for cancer.  I guess she took her parents seriously.

Wes and Lydia finished the race in about 30 minutes and I walked it in 55, so they came back to see me through to the finish line.  Go team!

Wyatt is a little athlete!  He skipped his way through the race and finished with a great time.

Rachael and Lydia are for healthy breasts.

Wes's new best friend is 2 month old Peter Jackson, born to our dear friends, Molly and Vic who lost their precious little girl, Lucy last year in a tragic accident.  Molly and Vic are an inspiration to everyone who meets them and we feel so lucky to have found them.  

My last day at Zane Benefits, Inc and 2nd anniversary there was June 11.  While sad to say goodbye, I'm proud of the work we've done as a team to get the company where it is today.  From left to right: Ben Dilts/CTO, Debbie Graybill/Accountant, Sam Clarke/New Guy, Tyler King/Software Developer, Rick Lindquist/Health Benefits Specialist, Paul Pilzer/Founder & Chairman, me/Senior Benefits Consultant, Alison Wistner/CFO.

Isaac was featured in the Park Record last month after having participated in the Asian Occasion at the Summit County Library.  Wearing his authentic "hanbok", he was the sweetest little Korean baby ever.

I got skunked again while fly-fishing the Weber, but at least I got to see the munchkins!  I WILL catch a fish this summer.
