Girls Weekend in Lincoln City, OR

The last weekend of June we had our annual girls weekend in Lincoln City, OR.  It was absolutely perfect!  We rented a beautiful condo that overlooked the ocean.  It had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a hideway bed on the couch.  This year everyone but Becky was able to go so we invited Grandma Floyd to come along with us!  We had a blast!!!  Between the outlet malls, the chocolate shops and the beach, there was never a dull moment!  We made a puzzle, watched a movie one night, sat in the hot tub and chatted and watched the sun set one night, got pedicures and manicures, shopped and shopped, collected seashells, found a starfish (the only one we ever saw!), went to 3 different chocolate stores and ate sinfully delicious caramel apples and chocolate, ran and walked up and down the beach and had great company the whole time!  It was a weekend to remember!  The weather was perfect also for the Oregon beach.  We cannot wait to go back!  On the way home we stopped at the Portland temple and watched my cousin Addison Floyd get married before heading the rest of the way home.  It was just what this mommy needed!  Thanks for the fun time girls!  Can’t wait to do it again!!

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 ...
