Come and Gone

Alise left today. We had a fun couple of days together. Yesterday after picking up her car (getting fixed) we went to the park. It was HOT, HOT, HOT!! It would have been another great day for the water park, but Alise had plans with a friend. After the park we went to McDonald's for an ice cream cone...YUMMY!! I got in a 2 hr. nap while Alise was gone visiting-which rarely happens!! It felt so good. Before Alise left we both vacuumed out our vehicles and now we both have clean cars, which always makes me happy! Thanks for the surprise trip down Alise, it was so much fun!

David is in California working on a job that's finishing up there. The plans were to come home today, but it won't be until tomorrow. If he gets home in time then he will be going on a scout camp out with his deacons. Is it bad to want him to get home a little later so he can be home with us and not on the campout?!

Our family is looking forward to going to Wa. for a Lee Reunion! We are so excited to see everyone and for the kids to play with their cousins! One more week!

I totally understand wanting your husband home and to yourself. I don't think you should feel guilty about that at all!

Thanks for reminding me about our camping trips. Everytime we go camping, I get reminded by BOTH our dads about the full moon! How embarrassing! I can't believe your dad still remembers!

Too fun! Have fun in WA at your family reunion and tell everyone I say hello! We have a reunion this weekend in SLC. Should be interesting to say the least!

I'm with you...hopefully David made it home late. I hate sharing Brian. :) I'm glad you had such a good time with Alise. It's funny how it doesn't take much more than just being with each other to enjoy every moment. I'm excited for you to go to WA again. We are missing Brian's family reunion. Totally bummed but I think we better not push it at this point.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
