I've been Tagged!!!

Thank you Janell!

How to play the game. Post these rules on your blog: List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions, and 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys- My family, my friends, the knowledge that the gospel is true

3 Fears- Heights, bees, throw up sickness.

3 Current Obsessions- Regular Coke (mmmmm!!! but so fattening),
Blue Diamond Hickory
Smoked Almonds, reality TV shows.

3 Random Facts- I hate the taste of Pepto-Bismol or anything that has that sort of flavor, yuck!
I hate to fold the whites when they come out of the dryer, especially the socks!
I was just called to teach the CTR 5's.

Ok, So I have to tag people. Donna Shoop, Monica Stanton, Nikki Estes, Mardi Gubler, and.... do I know anyone else who has a blog????

Fun with Friends!!!

I was fortunate enough to go to Solitude Ski Resort July 16-18th and see some of my awesome friends from Lacey WA. 2 of those friends now live in Utah as well. (Hopefully we will be able to see each other more often now that we are only 4 hours away.)

We all had a blast though unfortunately, not everyone was able to stay. We were able to see Tiffany and Carol Wednesday night. Both already had plans for those days that everyone was there. Thursday we went to Temple Square and saw the "Joseph Smith" Movie. That was great. (When I came home and told Shelby I'd seen it, she said, "Oh, I saw that at YW at the St George Temple." Shows you how smart I am.) Friday was cut a little short. I was planning to stay as long as possible (you know that means about 2am Sunday), but my friend Angela is probably movie to Boise so they all went to Boise to do house hunting on Saturday. I was very, very tempted to tag along, but I don't think that RJ would have been to keen on the idea.

It was great to see everyone again, and we plan to do this once a year. Can't wait Ladies!!

You all are great!!

Left to right: Tiffany, Carol, Angela, Jenny, Me, Donna and Darri.

Bored Much???

Ok, so we were only about 5 days into summer, when Kestin digs out his K-nex. He had gotten onto the computer to see how big the largest structure was that was built out of K-nex. It happened to be I believe a roller coster that stood about 24' high. Kestin then decided to build the largest tower. Here are pictures of his efforts.

Music, Music, Music!!

Shhhhh, She's concentrating!!!

This last school year Shelby had participated in a beginning guitar class at school. On May 14th, 2008 (see how good I am about posting?) Shelby's classmates had a spring concert.

(You should also know that she has had this guitar for about 3.5 years, and just learned how to play. I know bad parenting on my part.)

They played along with the orchestra on some songs which was neat to get to hear.

Guitar class played "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven, "Worried Man Blues", and "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms" . Together with the orchestra, they played "Greensleeves".

It was great to see her and hear her play the guitar.

I fully admit to being a slacker!!!

Ok, Ok, Ok! I have put this off long enough. As my wonderful friend Janell has pointed out to me that I need to post. Soooooo, I will be back posting some. I did finally change my background yesterday with the help of my sister Mardi for some wonderful and helpful sites. So here I go.

Happy Birthday to Me??!!

OK, So I just turned 34. Remember when you were younger and thought how old that was???

I don't feel any different, or feel old by any means.



No big shindig to celebrate the day. We had ice cream cake at my mom and dad's house (my favorite!!) Then came home and watched American Idol.

Seasons of Service

On April 8, 2008, I attended a performance at the Tuachan Amphitheatre. The performance involved 18 elementary school choirs from the Washington County School District.

The theme was "Seasons of Service". The basis of this program was based on the "Prevention Dimensions" curriculum adopted by the State of Utah Education Department http://www.dsamh.utah.gov/preventiondimensions.htm , which teaches about safety, mental health and drug abuse.

Each choir performed a song out of the curriculum. Each song was choreographed by the students and the directors. All choirs participated in the opening and closing numbers as well.

Our choir was made up of the 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes. They sang the song "Buckle Up".

They were told that this is the first time that they had that many people on the stage. It was a great program (long, but great).
