UTAH and Adams Wedding

My mother and I were able to go out to Utah for my Cousin Adams wedding. Adam and I are three months apart. We have grown up doing everything together and I was so grateful that I was able to attend his wedding. I was able to take off 4 days of work and just have an enjoyable time. The first picture here is of my little nephew Zane and his first soccer match. He is 4 and loves american football, but since they did not have football americano this spring, he had to go with just plain football or soccer...

This is Nate, the youngest cousin on my moms side of the family. He is a doll and just cracks me up... The first time I saw him he was smiling and then gave me this scowl and then every time he would look at me in those few days would be the same thing... I wish I had a picture of him scowling at me... but here he was looking at someone else and giving a huge grin...
The happy couple...
All of my moms siblings and her dad and his wife were able to be there... He got married in Rexburg, and it was a drive for alot of them, but it was so nice to all be together... Hope we can do it soonPosted by Picasa

New Beginnings

For our new beginings this year our theme was the Olympics...I ended up making a DVD for our girls and I use a website called Face in Hole, do put their faces on pictures... I used various Winter Olympic sports... Each girl had four pictures. Three of which were sporting pictures and the last one was of them holding up gold medals. It turned out pretty good and I was well pleased that I was able to pull it off... I am so grateful to be serving in the YW orginization. I am learning alot...

The Harts Visit

We had so much fun when the Harts came to visit in Febuary... These pictures are in no particular order... This first one is of the boys helping out grandpa with a bend sign... such great helpers... My dad was so patience in letting the boys hammer and help...
The boys got to ride horses at the ranch and we had so much fun. Gavin was a little hesitant to get on the horse, but after getting aboard he LOVED it... Braden is a great horseman...
My mom and I tried to take the boys to the fair one day but they did not open till later in the afternoon. We ended going to the bookstore and playing with the trains and reading for a few hours... They got to pick one thing to take home. Braden chose some binocluars and Gavin got this book....




The birthday that lasted all month. Singing again to the wonderufl ashlee...
The board that Robert Broke... Braden is getting to be a great Tai Kwan Do boy...
After the rodeo...
It was so fun to have the Harts here... I was about to say can't wait till they come again, but they will be here this week... my time flies.Posted by Picasa

For my sisters Birthday we went to the Phantom of the Opera... I have always wanted to see it and I was so glad that we got to go. We did not have the best of seats at the beginning but at intermission we moved up closer and that was nice... Thanks Ashlee for having a birthday and coming to Florida to celebrate...

Priest-Laurel Retreat

I can remember back to 2001 when I was in Young Womens attending the Priest/Laurel retreats... now 9 years later here I am attending as a leader. We had a blast and I absolutly love my girls. They are so awesome and I am so grateful for their courage and strength. Friday night we got to spend some time with the bishop doing fun games and having a testimony meeting around the campfire. It really was an uplifting experience listening to these youth talk about what they face everyday and how they can find strength...

The balloon game was so so funny to watch...
