This is what my laundry room look likes after
a day of swimming at 7-peaks!

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--
and even better they actually fit!

We picked up Connor from EFY
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
in it's spot before!

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!
6-04-2011
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!
6-2-2011
The 6th grade award ceremony had
Mary receiving the "lovely lady" award, and
Zach receiving the "gentleman" award!
They have had an awesome year-
thanks to an awesome teacher!
Mrs. Tippetts is the best!
6-01-2011
It is the last week of elementary school for the

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!!
5-25-2011
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!

Family Home Evening consisted of us
all learning how to use a compass--
then we read about the Liahona in the
Book of Mormon.
I love the gospel and
I love the Book of Mormon!
5-22-2011
What the hail??
A Sunday afternoon hail storm--
please can the sun just come out and stay awhile??
5-21-2011
My contribution to the youth fundraiser!
Barely finished in time to take it up to
the church!
Hope you enjoy it, Lora!!

Yummy, Yummy!
Texas Roadhouse Rolls with cinnamon butter--
Forget the steak--I could just eat the rolls!

Another letter addressed to Elder Forsyth!
This one introduced us to his mission
president and wife--informed us he needs a bike,
and how to get one-spelled out the boundaries of his mission--
(which does include Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi!)
gave him some lessons on southern
etiquette, and pretty much got all
of us even more excited for Alex!
5-17-2011
As much as I shy away from
saying this is one of my "favorite" anything--
this really is one of my favorite movies!
Dan in Real Life--
helps me to appreciate my own
very "real" life!
5-16-2011
A letter from our favorite missisonary
in Japan
brought laughter and tears to our

Some of my Saturday was spent at
a cupcake exchange--hosted by
the hostess with the mostess--Lora Jensen!!
The company was fabulous and me and my
family are still munching on all the
delightful cupcakes!!

I love this tree in the spring!
Those blossoms smell so good and
this tree is right outside my kitchen window--
so when I open the window I can smell that
heavenly smell!

Twenty years ago Darren and I shared our
last "first kiss"! We've spent the past
twenty years smooching away!!

Let me introduce you to my new friend--
a fridge that actually makes ice and
has enough room for all the milk my
family drinks!
She is big, but she's a beauty!
5-9-2011
A new way to organize my kitchen counter!
A place for everything and everything in it's place!
And it's cute too!
5-8-2011
The best part of my mother's day
was being able to spend it with my mother!!
Breakfast in bed, grilled salmon, new perfume, and
a wonderful gift from my future missionary (a book called "How to
survive your child's mission!").
Mother's day 2011 was completely lovely!
5-7-2011
Me and my refrigerator have had issues
for the entire seven years we have
been acquainted!
It is time to bid good-bye
before we part as enemies!

Talk about a good mail day! My LDS living magazine, and
my Matthew Mead summer edition magazine
both came the same day! It's like an early
Mother's Day present!
5-4-2011
He's a working man again!
Ryan Beatty is gonna make sure Alex is
in good shape and plenty tan for his mission!
I will not complain about all the dirt I had
to sweep up after he took a shower!

With only four weeks until school is out
Cassidy is spending a lot of time like this--
in front of the computer trying to
get her grades up!
I think I am more excited about school being out
than my kids--
I'm sick of homework, too!

This is all of us with Kirby Heybourne.
All of us, except Kristie!
We made it to the front of the line
and looked back and she was no where to be found!
Mindi has connections so she took Kristie back for her
own personal picture!

The only bad thing about Women's conference
is that they do not give you any time
to eat! Because we did not want to
miss any classes we pretty much
went all day without eating!
Cafe Rio at 7:00 at night tasted
better than anything I can remember!
All of us usually eat about half a salad--
not tonight!!
4-27-2011
It's women's conference again!!
Jennie made us these cute door decorations
for our dorm!!
(You would think she has been
to girls camp or something!)
4-21-2011--Another out of order post--sorry!
This little cup has been the solution
to me not drinking enough water! I love the
straw and the lid--it is AWeSOMe!
The only downside is how much time
I am spending in the bathroom!
4-27-2011
A night in the temple with
our ward was beautiful!
I love being in the celestial room with
so many people I know-
it gives me a glimpse into what
heaven will really be like!
