Carly's Bachelorette Party!


Saturday was Carly's Family Bachelorette Party! In attendance was Carly, Tanna, Erin, Cohen, Whitney, Katie, Diane, Paula, Miranda, Jessica, Shayne and Amanda. Amanda hosted at her house! We started off the evening with Carly showing us her interpretation of the "money dance" she is expected to do at her wedding... which looked quite a bit like the robot....



The evening had plenty of food and drink- as always!







Next, we watched Carly's Wedding Video, where we found a SMALL mistake (haha!)






Then came an exciting round of "Pin the Hose on the Fire-fighter!"





And had a "strip dance contest"....








....which was so good that we made Miranda do an encore!







And ate a cake that looked SURPRISINGLY like Sanele- great likeness, Amanda! haha


All in all, a successful night!! We're excited for you Carly!

Moab 2009








Whitney, Diane and Tanna took off this last weekend for Moab for a little hiking and fun in the sun! For those of you who know our family, we are not the biggest hikers in the world.... and it showed! However, we got up at 7 AM to hike the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park and we made it to the top-- although we did have to stop about every 20 feet for Tanna to catch her breath (poor, sickly lungs can't handle much!) although, as you can see, Whitney seemed to have plenty of energy. We were lucky enough to be on the hike with the most annoying family in the world.... they RAN everywhere they went. Who RUNS up a mountain face???
We also got to spend a little quality time at the pool and spent PLENTY of time making up for the calories we lost on the hike....

Cohen Zane Mortensen





Little Cohen Zane Mortensen was born on May 22, after at LEAST 50 hours of labor (or about 18, if you weren't one of the people waiting at the hospital for this little skittle to be born!)! We LOVE him so much and Erin and Cody have been really good about the fact that one of us have been at their house pretty much every minute since he was born.... he's gonna be spoiled!
