us.

It's been awhile since I have updated our family blog.  So I will start off with an update on how we are doing.

Phil...is working hard and as a result Daddy is gone a lot lately.  But we still find time to see him during lunch and in-between important meetings.  Phil is enjoying the summer playing golf and going to LOTS of movies with his brother! If you know me I only watch chick flicks so I am more than happy to give him a kiss and send him out the door to watch Transformers!  Phil is still serving as the Elders Quorum President in our ward and is loving getting to know the families and serving them! We are proud of him for providing and working hard for our family.  

Me...I am staying busy looking after a very busy almost 2 year old! I love every minute of it!  Roma and I have so much fun and stay very busy with this beautiful weather.  I am currently training for the Portland, Oregon marathon with my mom in October.  I am up to about 8 miles and I am tired...only 18 miles more to go! I am still doing Eyelash extensions out of my house and I have got it to where I am only doing appointments one day a week! I love it because it gives me more time to just focus on our sweet little Roma. We are hoping to add to our little family through another adoption and couldn't be more thrilled!  I am still teaching Relief Society and actually really enjoying it.  I have learned so much and my testimony is strengthened by the wonderful Women in my ward!

Roma June...I am the cutest little 2 year old that my parents have ever laid eyes on.  Although I am busy and into everything, I am just learning to be like my momma one day!  I have become familiar with the phrase 'time-out' and I actually really enjoy it...when I hear momma say those two words I just walk myself over to the designated area and relax, but shh don't tell mommy!  I love to EAT and I love snow cones, I just wish my mom would give me my own so I could eat it all by myself.  I am in swimming lessons and learning how to float and kick and hold my breath under water.  I really don't enjoy when my mom passes me off to some strange lady so I cry for 15 minutes so she knows.  But I am really learning a lot so maybe mommy will keep taking me :)  I love the zoo! I love lagoon! But I love dance class the MOST.  I can't wait to have a little brother or sister to play with.  Love, Roma!
