Summer thus far (a little Spring too)

I promised a catch up blog... So here we go (I was going to go upload older to newer... but it didn't really work out that way :))
ReAL Vs. LA Galaxy Soccer game + Good Friends + Being on the big screen & winning free Burger King whoppers = AWESOME night! SO much fun... we had never been to a ReAL game before, but we are definitely SOLD!!! We are totally fans!

Little Tracie (T-pain, Trace Face, T-force...) + Graduating High School= Complete crazy sauce!!!
She is SO not old enough to graduate High School and go to college! We are so excited for her though, movin' out, and going to college, SO exciting!! Trace is such a funny, smart, and absolutely beautiful girl! We are so stinkin' proud of her!!

Texas Roadhouse (before the 7 pm ceremony) + fan-freaking-tastic family + delish food = A GREAT TIME!

The adorable Toria's dance concert (& 5,621,254,859.2 other kids dancing) + SUPER cute Brady, Audrey & Ellie = Good times had by all.
The GORGEOUS Hubby + Some of our Best Friends + North Carolina = A fabulous vaca!
We went to North Carolina to visit with some of our best friends: LaShae & Noah... we had so much fun... but I was such a slacker with the picture snapping... but here are the few that we took:Lots of great food, including Michael's AMAZING homemade lasagna (scratch sauce, cheese mix, and noodles), baseball game, 18 mile walk around their gorgeous neighborhood (not really 18 miles... but pretty dang close :)) shopping, art shows & dancing in downtown Raleigh. PLUS a day at the beach! We had SO much fun! We love these guys and were so glad we got to go spend time with them (and get away to the nice 80/90 degree weather... when it was still snowing in good ole' SLC)!

...

So...

It's been a while...

Something tells me it has been too long since I last posted...

I received this email from my blog (AKA Julie, my Mother-in-law :)):

Forwarded from The Burtis Blog;

Dear Laura,
I am very sad that I haven't been updated lately. You need to remember that there are many people who enjoy your wittiness, creative writing & impressive photo layouts and that the pressure is on me to give those people the info & insights that they want. I hope that in the near future you will be able to find the time to take a few moments out of your busy schedule to spend with me. Just to catch up and reacquaint ourselves with each other.

Thank you for your time & I miss you!

Love, Your Blog


I can take a hint :)
So, look forward to a quick update on what we have been up to for the past couple of months.... AND we have got a busy, but fun weekend ahead of us - so get excited for an update on that as well!
{I know, I know.... This is probably THE HAPPIEST day of all of your lives, the Burtis blog is back! WHOOT WHOOT :))
