Grateful

As I gave a talk today I have been pondering on many things. Mostly how grateful I am for my family. I have a wonderful husband who puts up with a lot from me, and does so much for me at the same time. I have great kids. They have their moments but overall they are such great kids. Here are some photos of our favorite place to play during these horribly hot summers. Jeffrey has a new best friend, it is the stroller. At every park he just wants to run around with it and play. Gotta love that. Thanks to Jana for the great photos

The Trek

Our camera decided that it only wants to take fuzzy photos now so until we get a new camera we will be photo less. (hopefully we will get a new one before Robin's wedding.)

Last week I went up to WY with the youth from our church (250 in all 14-18yrs old). We pulled handcarts and slept in tents as we learned more about the Mormon Pioneers. It was a wonderful experience. If you guys ever have the chance to do one, Do it!! I learned a lot, but the main thing I got form the trek was that those pioneers were tough. mentally, physically and spiritually.

While I was gone Darlene, Jana and my Mother in law (plus Michelle and Marian) helped watch the kids. Thank you thank you thank you.

Fathers day was Sunday. just want to send a late shout out to 2 great fathers. My dad - for always being there for me (Side note they are moving back to NY he is going to be the Palmyra temple president). And being a great encouragement to me in the things that I did/Do.

2ndly to Chris. Your a great dad to our kids. They love you and miss you when your gone. Thanks for all the wonderful things that you do for us each and every day! Love you lots.

A new Computer and other happenings

So our computer decided to catch a virus, we think but really I'm starting to think otherwise long long story. But I am loving our new computer and the company we bought it from. PC Computers. They are fixing the old one so the kids can use it. Yeah no more kids on our computer!!!!

A few weeks ago we went back to AZ for a very very quick trip. Chris's grandparents were celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. While there we got 4 generation photos of all the boys. Will was not willing to get his own, he has one from when he was a few months old.

It was great to chat with Chris's grandparents and dad. Married for 65 years. wow Chris and I only have 57 more years to go!

Jeffrey would not let go of the balloons.

Jed is Mr army crawl man. I love his crawl it is so cute!! I really should get a video of it. Here is his favorite new food, cookies or something with chocolate.

This is our mothers day breakfast!!! Cinnamon rolls, eggs, and bacon. Our ward even gave us great food as well, a sliced fruit bowl, fruit dip and chocolate to dip strawberries in. They had a punch, and great sandwiches. We were treated so well. Thanks to Chris, the kids, and the men in the ward

I'm still busy with school which ends in 2 1/2 weeks. Then the trek up to Wyo with the youth in 1 1/2 weeks. I think I will be happy to see July come.
