Trying to do more "family outings." I have this tendency to want to stay at home and work on "house projects" so I am giving "getting out of the house" extra emphasis especially when there is a free family event! : )

This was the fire departments open house night. The big event for the boys was a ride in a firetruck at the end.

Lee cracks me up!! Who knew... he had such hidden talents!

Had a wonderful chance to go to General Conference. It's held every 6 months and I have never attended in person. It was amazing to be there and see it all! Way to cool!

It's funny what kids will do if they have enough determination... a family friend brought over a bike fro TJ to try and ride. He wouldn't stop trying until he got the hang of it. In 1 hour he learned to ride and was cruising all over. I guess when they are ready... they are ready! lol!

What a great time I had this last week. Living in Utah definitely has it's perks... who would have thought that a group of kids can graduate together in Illinois and then 15 years later meet up in Utah for a mini reunion? Crazy! We were not able to get all of us together at the same time... one picture was taken Monday and the other at my house on Saturday. I keep commenting to anyone who wants to know... that the fun part of the mini reunion is feeling like we haven't been apart for 15 years. : ) It was great to see everyone all these years later. We definitely have to make this a yearly thing! : )

ps Everybody has married the sweetest spouses! Hooray, for their support and letting us all get together! It was fantastic!

I just watched this amazing video. I go to church with Brittany's mother and I knew her daughter was sick. In fact she serves as the jr singing time chorister and I am the Sr chorister. Her husband and her, have to take turns going to sacrament and church so that someone can always be with Brittany. I knew this video was out there and I just looked it up today... what an WONDERFUL true story. I am sharing it with you now... sometimes... Utah can be an amazing place to live.

Last week was Mother's Day and my birthday.. it all flew by.

I can say... that I feel loved and very blessed to have SO much. So much love... so many blessings. Life is sweet and good.

I enjoy having both my sisters and my mom in town. We are losing Martha in a few months and I am going to miss her SOOOO much. Here is a great shot of us on Mother's Day.

Well... we have entered that stage... BASEBALL.... I knew it would happen one day. LOL!

Leo & Taylor are proud members of the West Point Mariners. GO TEAM!

Should I even bother explaining to a 2 year old that glue sticks are NOT chapstick? sigh. He thought he had hit chapstick heaven...

My mom is great! She almost always does a fun Family Home Evening dinner for all of her grandkids. (the joys of living close) I haven't been very good about posting all the fun things she has done but here is one... we had a Indian night. It was my job to bring the Indians all dressed up and then Grammy had buffalo burger & fry bread for dinner... it was fun.

Here are a few pics of the boys getting ready!
