Hi! Was Monday fun or what??!! Couldn't believe the memories that were generated from the smell of the boat to life vests. It was like I went back in time. I told dad, it was a perfect day! Let's do it again, maybe in June? Check your calendars. Love ya. Mom

Hi everyone!

Just noticed how long it's been and how diligent everyone else is...so, we had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Just need to figure out how to visit more often. Brianna was a wonderful hostess! Thanks so much!!! Didn't do much but sit around the pool and beach and got a terrific tan, just ask Emily!! Dad went scuba diving with Bri for the first time and had a great experience. I just can't figure out why I never moved there when I was young. I've always loved the people, the ocean and just the general feeling you get, guess it just wasn't in the cards.

So excited for Brianna and her adventure coming up. Glad she can spend time with Nate for a couple of weeks. We miss you Nate! I am looking forward to Minnesota, and like Emily wish the "boys" could come too. Maybe our next reunion will be in Hawaii while Bri, and Nick & Hannah are living there. I'm up for Christmas, anyone?, anyone?

Looking forward to this weekend at Roosevelt lake with everyone. You know losing weight makes you want to do a lot more things! I've already had people tell me I don't need to lose anymore (any guesses??), but after looking at the pics, I do!! So, hopefully by the time you get home Nate I'll be 105.

Well, time to go, going to Mesa tomorrow. Still trying to get my WBE status. Can't believe how the adversary is working against me. But, I will prevail!!! Love to you all. MOM

EAC Graduates 3 and 4!

Well.  Congratulations to my older brother Nick and I!  Wow it feels so good to be done with Eastern Arizona High School!  Ok ok EAC wasn't that bad, it's just not as fun when you grow up in Thatcher and then go to the college in your little home town.  The education was good?  I sure hope it was good because I'm going to need it in the fall!  I'm sure everyone knows, but I am officially a cougar now!  I've already registered for classes at BYU in Provo and I can't wait to expand my horizons and move out of T-Town.  Not that it hasn't been good for me, it's just time.  Well life has been going pretty good for me out here in the west, not too much to complain about.  Maybe the gas prices??  But who knows how high they are in Korea and Hawaii.  Speaking of Hawaii, is anyone else a little hurt that mom and dad didn't invite anyone to accompany them to the islands?  I know I know they need some time together but we do live right by Mount Graham...rent a cabin and take the whole famdamily to Hawaii!  Haha I'm kidding, they are taking a well deserved trip and although I'll miss them, I won't miss watching politics on the big screen,  love you dad!  We had a good weekend here in Thatcher with Janel the kids Jason and Nick and Hannah!  Wish everyone could be here!  I talked to Nate and he said we'll all be together again next...March...and he also said I'll be married in two weeks once I move up to BYU!  Hopefully both of those were just jokes.  We miss you Nate!  And can we start posting on this thing again??  AND!  Did everyone notice how fantastic Mom looks in that picture!!!  Well I love you all and hope to see you soon!     

Happy Mothers Day!!

We have The Best Mom!! I love you mom so much! When I was a baby I would follow you around and cry relentlessly if you left me. I may have grown up but my heart still wants to follow you everywhere. It cries when I can't be with you when I want to. There is just something so comforting about being with you. Just talking. You've taught me to be a good person and have given me the gospel and taught me to live the best that I can. For that I know you have given me a life that will always lead to happiness. Thank you. Thank you for loving me and for giving us all a wonderful home to grow up in. And for a home we know we can always go home to. I love you Mom.
