Easter 2008



Easter was once again a great time for our family. It is always so good to spend time with family and remember how important we are to each other. The kids of course joined in on several different easter egg hunts and are still eating easter candy ( as am I ). We also went to St. George and soaked up some well deserved sun. ( I know we just got back from mexico, but what can I say I quess I'm stingy). On sunday night after returning home we went up to my mom and dads and the kids got even more treats along with a special message to my brother-in-law. Recently while driving down the freeway he was hit by a semi truck, since the accident he has been having severe migraine headaches, on easter sunday he woke up and couldn't speak properly. My dad and other brother-in-law gave him a blessing hoping all would turn out well before they took him into the emergency room. This has been a very hard time for my sister and her family and sitting in that room on Easter night you could feel the love and faith surround all of us, it reminded me just what Easter is all about. I know we sometimes get caught up in the commercialism of the holiday and it is just good to get back to the basics. My brother-in-law is still having some trouble but they are currently seeing a neurologist in hopes that they can find out what is happening. We are all hoping for some kind of answer so we can get him on the road to recovery.

St. George


We went down to St. George last weekend and stayed with Jay R.'s parents. They have a indoor pool at there little community. Are kids had so much fun swimming, I think they have been waiting all winter just to get there little toes wet again.

Going private

Just so everyone know, I have decided to go private also. I think that this may be a more safe way to publish info about my family and friends with out to much concern. If you didn't get a invite let me know and I will make sure you are on the list. Thanks.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico





We just got back from a great vacation down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was a great brake from the cold weather here in the states. We went with two other couples and we had a great time. We spent a lot of our time on the beach just soaking up the sun, but we also went on a Canopy zip line tour that was really fun, Jay went deep sea fishing while I went and got a massage and facial from some of the locals and then on our last night there we went out to a secluded beach for a candle light dinner and a small performance about there cultural history. It was really nice to get away from the everyday mumbo jumbo but we were glad to finally get back home and see our kids.

Book club


Hey those of you in my book club I just wanted to let you know that I started the Uglies and so far it has been pretty interesting. Reminds me a little of the Giver. Hope all is well and I will miss you all next month at club, but unfortunately I will be laying on the beach somewhere in Mexico. Keep me posted on the 5 love languages.

Winter Fun





With all the new snow, comes all the excitement of winter time. Around our house the kids can't wait for there daddy to get home so that they can go sledding behind the four wheeler. All the neighbor kids seem to enjoy the fun to. We actually took all the kids ours and the neighbors down the street into a field and they spent hours down there. I showed up with hot chocolate to warm them all up, but I don't even think they noticed the cold all that much. They were just having way to much fun. I'm just glad the day finally came that Trevin likes to be on the sled instead of the four wheeler (more room for me haha).

Retro Aprons



I spent some time before the holidays making these really cute aprons with my sister and some of my friends. They turned out so cute that I don't really want to get a mess on the front of it. I catch myself wearing my old one to preserve this new cuter one. haha
