To Grandma and Grandpa's House

Late Thursday night while David was talking to his parents, his dad asked him if we wanted to come to St. George for the weekend. We were on speaker phone and we looked at each other and said sure, why not? So Friday afternoon we left and got there about 8 o'clock that night! The kids had a slumber party on grandma and grandpa's bedroom floor.We celebrated Cameron's birthday party at Fiesta Fun Center. Cameron loved it! It was a fun afternoon with our family.


Jason got a really bad bloody nose while on the bumper boats. It took about 20 mins. to finally get it to stop!






Alyssa didn't like these cars to much. She was burnt out by this time and crying at every little thing. She was ready for a nap!

Grandma took over and held Jenna so I could play with the kids.


Easter pictures!
We had such a great weekend. We also packed in to Saturday some shopping at both the mall and outlet mall, David and his dad attended the temple and David and I sneaked away for a date to Dairy Queen after dinner! We weren't able to fit swimming in to the day. Next time! We drove home Sunday night. Thanks for letting us come and play...again, Chuck and Carol! If you don't want us to come, don't offer or we just might say "YES!!"

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 ...
