Lavender Farm Fieldtrip

Alyssa is enrolled in this awesome Preschool.  I am so happy I was able to get her in so she could meet new friends.  The teacher is in our ward and was full with 12 students but let Alyssa come anyway.  This was their first fieldtrip.  We drove south past Santaquin to the Lavender Farm.  It really is out in the middle of no where!  Mrs. Laura is the one standing up in the blue sweatshirt.  She is hilarious!

We went on a ride to tour the farm.  These were some of the animals they had there.  We also looked at all of the bridles and things that the horses wore.  They pull all of their farm equipment with the horses.  They don’t use tractors.Lilac Farms 206Lilac Farms 207Lilac Farms 210Lilac Farms 215Lilac Farms 217Lilac Farms 219Lilac Farms 220Lilac Farms 224Lilac Farms 225Lilac Farms 226Lilac Farms 228Lilac Farms 229Lilac Farms 233Lilac Farms 237Lilac Farms 243Lilac Farms 246

It was a lot of fun and Alyssa LOVED it!  All she could talk about before going was her fieldtrip and all she could talk about after was how great it was.  It was cute!

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

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 ...
