Keep Trying

Well, I want you all to know that I went paragliding on Saturday. It was pretty awesome, and then I went skydiving. What a new experience that was. After that we went for a helicopter ride. I have never done that either and it was amazing. Now, I am ready to do just about anything. And, if you believe any of this you are crazy.
I didn't do anything new and fun. I wanted to do something so badly but didn't. Saturday John worked out in the yard. I did some housework and scrapped a little bit. In the afternoon we did go for a short ride and then that evening we went to a reception and out to eat. We just got a salad and sat on the street in our car and ate them while watching the traffic go by. Then, we went grocery shopping. Boy, we have really got to work on doing new and fun things. Thanks for your ideas. I will do better and try harder.
I do have some exciting news though. Yesterday, David got engaged. He asked Heather Hathaway from St. Anthony to marry him and they are getting married probably in July. So, wedding plans are on the way.

Time for some FUN!!!!!

I am just finishing up work for the day and decided to blog a minute. I realized that I need to do something fun once in a while. My weeks are all the same, work, fix meals, watch TV, eat, sleep, scrap, do a little yard work, eat, sleep, work at the flower shop, babysit, eat, sleep, watch TV. I really need to get a life!!! Tomorrow I am going to a wedding at the temple and then John and I need to do something fun. Any great ideas???? All I can think of is to go home and work on all the things we need to get done. We need to play some!!!!! We aren't oldie moldies that just sit around and do nothing. Anyway, I hope we aren't, but I'm beginning to feel that way. Well, here's to something fun. I'll let you know if we do anything different or exciting. Have a fun weekend.

Starting to Clean the Yard Pays Off

On Saturday, John, Tiffany and I went out and burned ditches and it was pretty fun. Across the road wouldn't burn as good as I had wished, but it did some. So, it looks better. I could be a piro and go along and throw matches in all the ditches that are yellow. You have to watch out for me. Ha Ha! We already have water in our ditch and we will probably mow tonight and then get the sprinklers on. I can't wait to hear the sprinklers going. I know I am weird but I love to listen and sit on the porch and watch the sprinklers. I love it when everything greens up and the yards look so nice. The weather has been so nice and I hope to get in the berry patch next. While I was burning on the canal bank I also found a ten dollar bill that had been there all winter. It was pretty dirty. Who ever said it didn't pay to burn the old grass!!!! We went and had ice cream with it afterwards. It was a great day.

A Wonderful Few Days

We have had some busy, fun filled days. Heather came up on Wednesday and stayed until Sunday. So that was fun having her here that long. On Thursday and Friday we scrapped at my house all day long and into the night both nights. There were different people there each day. One day Christopher cooked hot dogs on the grill for our lunch and then Trever cooked Hamburgers another night for our supper. We just scrapped and ate and the kids played and played and we all enjoyed the two days. On Saturday, we all went to Lindsay's and had an Easter egg hunt and then got lunch and picnicked in her yard. It was a beautiful day and I even got sunburned. The grandkids played in the yard and really had a great time. That night we went to the movie- Mall Cop. It was pretty funny. On Sunday, we all went to church and then Tiffany had us all come to her house for dinner. It was so nice and we all ate and ate. It really was a super fun few days. By Sunday night I was pretty tired but it was well worth it. I love it when the whole family gets together and everyone enjoys each other and has a great time. I hope all of you had a Happy Easter and that you have a great week ahead. Take care until next time. By the way, we did about 150 pages between 5 of us.

I think spring is here! Yeah!!!!
Today is our first scrap day and so I will be busy. I won't be able to blog for a few days or read everyone elses. So, to all you bloggers-give me something to read when I come back to work on Tuesday. Have a great weekend and a very Happy Easter.

Scrap and more Scrap

This past weekend I had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off from work. Lots of the kids had gone to Salt Lake to conference. So, I decided to do some scrapping. On Saturday, Lindsay came and helped me. So, in the last few weeks I have scrapped 47 pages. It is a great feeling, except I am still 10 years behind. I don't know if I will ever get caught up. We are going to scrap a couple of days this next week so that should help. Heather is coming up on Wed. night and staying until Sunday so we should be able to knock out a few more pages. Everyone is excited to do some scrapping. We will turn my home into the scrap center for 2 days. Wish us luck!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BOY. David is 21 years old today. I remember when he was born. He was 8lbs. 1 oz. and had great big hands. The night before he was born, I played in a Stake volleyball tournament. I was in labor and I would just breathe really deep and keep playing. We won that tournament and when David was born the next day and I seen how big his hands were, I said, he helped us win that tournament by hitting the ball a few times. David has been a great joy in my life. He is my baby and always will be. I hope he has a great day and that life will be good to him. I wish the best for him and want him to know how much I love him. I love all of my family and am so grateful for all of them.

A Great Weekend

On Thursday, Lindsay, Camri and I went down to Heather's. We babysat little Lizzie on Thursday and Friday while Heather worked. Then, Friday night John, Rob, David, Heather H. and the Johnson family came down to stay with us. It was a houseful but very fun. We just spread out all over the house to sleep. On Saturday, we headed to the Logan temple to have our sweet Lizzie sealed to her Mom and Dad. All the rest of the kids came that morning and so all of my 6 kids were in the temple with their spouses. It was such an awesome experience. I got to be with Lizzie and bring her up to the sealing room and hold her on the altar to be sealed to her parents. She looked like a beautiful angel. My emotions were really hard to control, but I made it thru. Lots of friends and family were there to support Heather and Koby. Afterwards we went back to their church and had Lizzie blessed and then had a luncheon. It was really a nice day. We also took some family pictures, stayed in a motel that night, had fun swimming and fun hanging out with everyone. We woke up to about 4-5 inches of snow the next morning and came home that afternoon in a snow storm. But, all in all it was super!
