balloon law

driving home today i was listening to 'jon and ken' on the radio and they were talking about the 'balloon law' that the state of CA is trying to pass...that you would not be able to sell the mylar balloons anymore...plus, there are a few more laws they are trying to pass...like charging 25 cents for a plastic or a paper bag...what's with our state? they try to nickel and dime us for everything...i just get tired of all the dumb laws they pass....seems like they are either trying to get more money out of us or they want to control every bit of our lives...sometimes i wonder 'what are they thinking?' ..let us just live how we want to live! and that's my soapbox for the day!

it's done

'this '
became 'this'

remember this post? well the fireplace is done...ready for some fires...i think it will be a great addition to our yard...we have alot more space for all the parties...it will be great..

adios

today kerry, ashley and katelyn (ashley's roommate) took off into the gray cloudy sky to go to peru! how exciting! they are going for a month and will be working in kindergarten classes...what a great experience...they will be living in the sacred valley which is near machu picchu...they will live with a family so they will learn alot...so adios amigas!

did you see this?

have you seen this yet? we went tonight because the girls wanted to see it before they left...(kerry, ashley and katelyn are going to peru tomorrow)....it was very fun...same indiana!!!

day to day

do you ever wonder "what have i been doing"? that's what i'm thinking right now....

i haven't posted for about 2 weeks and i wonder 'where the time has gone"....i know i've been busy...i went to slc to hear my sister and sister in law speak at byu's women's conference...i was very proud of both of them..they were the best at the conference...then, we heard pres. monson which was a fantastic experience...

on saturday we went to niels moller's big 50th birthday party..

.after the barbecue we went to the sl real vs la galaxy soccer game..

we saw david beckham play which was great...

on sunday i flew to denver to see my new baby..

tommy is a doll...he was so good, so sweet....kate has turned into such a fun little girl...she talks nonstop and says the most fun things...kelly is feeling much better...willie was home from work for a couple of weeks..so great fun...then home again...

and the party has started...

. russ and kerry and many friends were home...alot of fun...i'm not used to having noise in the house anymore...it's great.....

we had a fun mother's day dinner at the saddle peak lodge...yum!!!

then, on mother's day,

kelly invited us down to celebrate...that was wonderful also...

and since then, it's been getting kerry ready for peru,

helping to plan youth conference,

lots of different meetings and such....it's been a whirlwind....especially with the kids around...so, i guess it's been alot of 'this and that'....nothing too exciting...kerry leaves on friday...that will be a big day for her....

so, i guess what i've been doing is 'living life'..

have fun living yours!
