It's GREAT to be EIGHT!

It's hard to believe that Cameron is 8 years old! He had a fun day. The kids are off track so he was home all day for his birthday. Cameron chose to eat lunch at Subway. The kids love that place! Then we went to see Dad at work for a little bit. Then we went to the Boy Scout store and he was so excited to spend the money he got from both his grandparents on a Cub Scout uniform! He told the lady helping us "I have $50!" A lot of money to an 8 year old! He loved his first day of Scouts. They have to get a collection of something and he chose bird feathers. I am not sure how we are going to find those, seeing how the birds haven't come back after winter yet. He is sure stressing about it though!

Dad bought Cameron this cool Bionicle. He worked on it for about 3 hours that night and then he woke up and worked on it clear to the middle of the afternoon. When he finally finished it he built the Bionicle that he got for Xmas from Grandma and Grandpa Lee and gave that to Jason so they each had one to play with. I thought that was so thoughtful of him! Jason had stood by Cameron all day watching him work. Cameron has a lot of David in him when it comes to building things!
We love you Cameron and are so proud of the righteous young man that you are! You are a great example to your younger brother and sisters! We are so excited to see you get baptized in a couple of weeks!

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 ...
