Zachary spent a great deal of time today
rigging up a contraption that would allow us to
get things from the top of the deck
down to the yard--
I must admit I am impressed with
his ingenuity!

these fine young men--

The smell of Russian Olive Trees are my
very favorite smell in the whole world--

are warm--it means I can drive with
the window down and inhale that heavenly scent!

I know it is hard to appreciate this without a
"before" picture! I spent the day in my office/craft room
and at the end of the day you could actually see my desk !
I organized and threw stuff away--Check off
one thing that I wanted to get done in my
house this summer!
6-14-2011
Finally some time to read a book!
Started this one--
very interesting--not a novel--
bunch of little stories about people who survived
tragic experiences along with practical advice on
how you could survive if you ever find yourself
in a plane crash or something horrific like that!

After two failed attempts to get Mary
her Toms--they finally came--

at 7:00 a.m.! That early hour called for
breakfast for the birthday boy (his birthday is tomorrow)
at Kneaders! Yummy!

It's that time of year again! With all the rain we have had
we could mow the lawn every three days!
Good thing there are so many boys around here to
help out!
6-09-2011
We planted a new bush by the front door!
Hopefully it lasts longer than the one that lived

Happy 12th birthday Mary and Zach!
My babies are twelve--
Can I still call them babies?
I am so grateful to have
been doubly blessed with
twins!

One of my favorite summer things to do-
an outside movie with the best
neighbors ever!! When I am old and
gray I will think back on days like this
and treasure the memories!

The 6th grade award ceremony had
Mary receiving the "lovely lady" award, and

Mrs. Tippetts is the best!

One last picture of Alex with
his three wonderful cousins--
this might be the last time they see each other for quite
a while. Two of them could leave for their missions while
Alex is still on his!
What a blessing to have such great boys
in our family!
5-30-2011
We started memorial day with
our favorite breakfast!
This time we will let Kneaders do the dishes!!
5-29-2011
When you are feeding as many as 23 people at a time
the dishwasher gets really full really fast!!
This was the second run of the day!
5-28-2011
A big day--nineteen years in the making!
Today Alex went through the temple to prepare
himself to serve his mission!
There are some days so wonderful there
really just are not words to describe--
today was one of those days!
Hopefully, we will always remember how we felt!
Darren and I gave each other a high five outside the temple!!
One down four to go!!!!
All joking aside, Alex's choices are his, and it is because of
his good choices that he was able to
enter the house of the Lord today!
5-27-2011
Some days need two pictures and tomorrow is
is one of those days! So here is a teaser for what is happening
tomorrow!!

Who knew a long piece of rope
could keep and eleven year old entertained
for hours and hours??
5-24-2011
A year later, we are finally planting a tree
to replace the one we lost!
Good thing we have lots of strong, healthy boys
to help!
