Trampoline

A friend recently asked us to "babysit" their trampoline while they put grass in at their house. Taylor has had a lot of fun with it. I don't hear "I'm bored" quite so much.

It brings back memories of summer nights, sleeping out under the stars with my brothers and friends. Bart the wonder dog that loved to jump with us on our tramp. Stealing the bounce of a brother. "Crack the egg" contests.

What fun those by gone days were. How I miss being a child. How glad I am to have a child to re-live memories with.

Valentine's Day

I have so many special Valentine's this year! Taylor, Ethan, Carter, Riley and Caleb. My brothers and their wives/girlfriend, and of course - my parents. Then there are all of my special friends that mean so much. I just want to say "Happy Valenitne's Day" and tell each of you how much I love you and appreciate all of the wonderful things you are to me. You are loved!

Couldn't ask for a better way to spend a Saturday

I had the opportunity to spend the morning in the Temple performing sealings with a single's group. Yes, I said a single's group. It was the first time I have had the chance to stand in as proxy for sealing's. What a great experience! I am so grateful I get the opportunity to spend time in the Temple and grow spiritually. Taylor is going to be advancing into Young Women's this fall and can't wait to do baptisms for the dead. Now that will be a GREAT day! To go to the temple with my daughter!

Not so sure about this...

One of my dear friends recently started a blog and suggested that all of us friends do so, too. Even though we live so close, we live such busy lives and don't get the chance to catch up as often as we'd like. This way we can share what's going on in our lives every day (or as often as we can) and our friends can keep up with the comings and goings...so here goes my first attempt at a blog, we'll see how it goes.
