Some of my friends decided to go up and spend the weekend in McCall. Shauna has a time share we stayed at. We met Cindy Wolf there! Cindy Williams came up and saw us on Saturday night. It was so fun to see her again and just spend the weekend doing... NOTHING! We ate alot! We did some shopping in the little stores and walked by the lake.

pleasure of seeing a bunch of characters!

Especially Winnie the Pooh!!

2009-04-27T23:42:00.015-06:00

Spring Break 2009! We played for the weekend in Salt Lake! We visited the Living Planet Aquarium and stayed at the Courtyard Marriott... it was awesome with it's 24 hour pool! We also went to the JAZZ vs. SUNS game! It was an awesome game...especially because the Jazz won! (Sorry Wyatt!!) =) We ate at Joe's Crab Shack!!
Jake and Brittney came and hung out with us and we played a game of trains! The new family addiction! Jake won! (What? Jake won?) We didn't go far, but we had a great time with each other! Just goes to show you can vacation in your (near) backyard and have a great time!!

Fun with the Family!!

2009-02-24T21:08:00.011-07:00

We spent Valentines Weekend
in Salt Lake with Nikki's family,
Brittney and Jake,
and Mom and Ross!!
We just hung out at Nikki's house
and played games! It was a lot of fun!
What is more fun than
being with your family!!

We all learned to play
a really fun new
board game:

TICKET TO RIDE--

that brought out our

competitive spirit!

We were out for blood
by the time it
was over! Of course....
CHAD won! :( HAHA!!

There's nothing better than time with family!
Thanks Chad and Nikki
for sharing your home!
I'm sooo glad Pocatello
isn't toooo far from
Salt Lake!!
HAHAHA!!

Missing Wyatt!

2009-01-28T20:26:00.010-07:00

Wyatt moved down to Montpelier with his Dad!
He is going to finish up his
senior year in Preston and be able
to graduate in mid April...
We are excited to have him be
able to get done early with school..
but not liking having him so far away from us!
The house is awfully quiet and the
grocery bill has gone down significantly!!
Come to think of it so has the water bill,
since he generally showers twice a day! :)
Rhett is enjoying being the only child!
His dream has finally come true!!
It will be interesting to see what Wyatt decides
to do when he is done with high school...
so many choices ahead...
Good luck Buddy Boy!
I Love You So Much!
and am proud of you and the
choices you are making to change
your life for the better! xoxo

Election fever!!

2008-09-05T21:51:00.005-06:00

This election has been exciting! I have had so much fun checking out the candidates and what they stand for, what their plans are and just what they will try to do to turn America around! I think they both have good qualities, and it will be so exciting the next couple of months! I have definately learned that I am an independent !!! :)

It has been fun to be a part of this historic election.....

Back to work !! :(

2008-06-22T21:40:00.004-06:00

Well here we go again...started a new job on the 16th of June! Home Health again...It is with the local hospital Portneuf and a co-ownership with Amedisys Co. Will give it a try for a month or two and make sure Im not dealing with the same ol same ol I did at the one before!! :) So far the staff is awesome....and fun to be around! I hope all works well! But will keep you informed....

Ya just never know anymore..................... :}

4 years late.....Im LOST!

2008-05-23T14:52:00.002-06:00

Well, since I have been layed up...I have been watching the series LOST on the computer!! It is soooo good! I can't believe I have been missing out on this great show! HAHA! :)
Only trouble is....Im staying up all night to watch it....so missing out on some precious sleep! Oh well....

2008-04-17T22:22:00.011-06:00

My babies are growing up so fast! Time flies when you are having fun!! It's hard to let go...but I know it is necessary for them to grow--I just can't believe how fast the time goes. They are crying and needing a bottle and a diaper change and the next thing you know they are married, moving out, getting ready to graduate, and talking to girls on the phone!

I get kissed by the sun each morning, Put my feet on a hardwood floor, I get to hear my children laughing, Down the hall through the bedroom door. Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing, Just soaking up the day, I think to myself, I think to myself, This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed, And I feel like I've found my way, I thank God for all I've been given, At the end of every day, I have been blessed, With so much more than I deserve, To be here with the ones that love me, To love them so much it hurts, I have been blessed!

When you're a mother--you can't afford to close your eyes--

If you do your children will grow up before you can open them!!

Love of family

2008-03-25T00:02:00.002-06:00

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

Life after "The" Wedding!! :)

2008-03-20T22:26:00.007-06:00

Well, the big day was a huge success! Brittney Nicole is officially a "Denning"!! The wedding day turned out perfect...except for the 3-4 inches of snow that decided to fall that night! We had a great turn out!

I have the most awesome family..who support me and my kids in everything that we have done!!

We had so much fun at the reception dancing into the night! It was great and it was the essence of Brittney and Jake's personality~~

March 4, 2008 A Sad Day in My Life!! :(

2008-03-05T20:12:00.002-07:00

He retires holding all of the NFL’s major career passing records, including touchdown passes, passing yards and completions, as well as possibly the most impressive individual career record of all: consecutive starts by a quarterback, at 253.

One of my life goals missed! Seeing Brett play at Lambeau field!! I had the tickets in my hand this season and passed it up!! Yikes!! What a fool!

If you dream it....

2008-02-24T19:37:00.002-07:00

I have waited many years to see Bette Midler perform live and on Wed. Feb 20th one of my lifetime wishes came true! I truly believe if you can dream it you WILL achieve it! The show was awesome and I'm still having a hard time believing I was there for opening night in Vegas!

Sad day for the world! :(

2008-01-28T21:11:00.003-07:00

So saddened to hear of the loss of our Prophet! He was such a good speaker and spoke in a way that everyone understood. Im sure he will be sooo missed here upon this earth, but what a reunion he must have had in heaven.

"We must not give up. We must not become discouraged.

We must never surrender to the forces of evil....But we

shall not be alone. I am confident that there are millions

of people throughout the world who grieve over the evil

they see about them. They love the virtuous, the good,

and the uplifting. They too will raise their voices and give

of their strength to the preservation of those values which

are worthy of maintenance and cultivation." Pres. Gordon B Hinkley

Let's live to make him proud!!!
