Friday night pary

So this last Friday night we had a little mocktail party at our house. We invited some friends from work over and they brought their favorite mixers fro drinks. Inspired by our trip from Cancun we had bahama mamas, dacaries, sunrises, mojitos, and many more. (all virgin of course) I BBQ kabobs and then we watch Cocktail outside in our backyard. It was a good time. Thanks for everyone that showed up!

This shows some of our good time.

Me getting my drink on (notice the collar it was in 80's style)

After everyone passed out on the lawn.(just like a real cocktail party...no puke though)

One of those days!

Have you ever woke up from a long night on

the town and cant explain what happened? Josh you know what I'm talking about. Just kidding this picture made me laugh so I thought I would post it.

So Mayson is playing soccer again this year, (she's the tall one) and she is doing much better. She is actually running after the ball instead of trying to hold hands with the other team. The only thing I don't like about soccer in Utah is that its always so cold on spring mornings.

We keep Jordan warm with lots of blankets and food to work those jaw muscles!

Elder Holland

I know that this is a place for pictures of children and funny stories for family separated by miles can still stay in touch but I wanted to share something that hit home this weekend. For some reason conference snuck up on me this spring and I even forgot about Saturday morning session and didn’t feel ready to absorb any messages. Then Elder Holland’s Sunday talk happened and it was like a breath of fresh air. The sentiment and feeling portrayed through his words I would recommend anyone listening to it again. It was exactly what I wanted and needed.

Finally nice weather

Well we have finally moved away from Mr. Winter and into what resembles spring like trends. The kids were jumping to get out after being snowed in most the past months and this is the outcome. Enjoy (mom)

SNOW!!!

Ok, I hate this picture (I don't want to have anything reminding me of what it looks like outside) I hate the commute in snow. Yesterday it snowed and it snowed alot right at our drive home. Beau drove and did a good job keeping getting us to the mall safely. It took about and hour and forty five min to get to the mall where we meet for our carpool. It then took me about 30 min to get to the mall to my house. A distance I run all the time and do it in 25 min! I know we need the water and I don't want to complain but I looked at my golf clubs the other day and almost cried. :(

Christmas season

I don't usually like to write alot with my blogs, as I am aware that the more I do the more opportunity I have to demonstrate to the world my biggest faults, but this Christmas season some things occurred to me that I feel I have to share. It started the day at work when we handed out gifts and the feelings that came when each of us received a thoughtful gift from a friend. That feeling continued to Christmas day when my lovely daughters were more excited to watch their sisters opened a present then to see what they got. I know that this time of year has been over commercialized but that doest matter to me. I felt the true meaning of Christmas this year and I hope you did to. If all you were concerned about was the value of the present you received then you really are missing out on the most valuable present of all, the gift of charity. Now please excuse all the faults in this rant I just felt like I needed to share my feelings this year. I know that most of you come here to see the pictures of the beautiful girls so I have included some. I love you all and hope that you have a great 2009.
