Jalynn's California trip.

This is really late because I haven't been posting lately, but here it is. Jalynn got to go to California with the RJHS Orchestra. She had lots of fun and didn't want to come home. RJHS Band was there too. They competed in a music festival. They got to go to the ocean, got a tour of famous places, went to Universal Studios and Knotts Berry Farm. I'm glad she is getting these experiences. On a side note, Jalynn turns 14 in July and will be going to Union next year. I can't believe how fast my kids are growing. Kortney will turn 11 and will be in the 6th grade.

The Next Tiger Woods?

Kelly and Micah took Kruz golfing. He loved it and that is all he could talk about for days afterward. I knew he would like it. The only problem is that he is left-handed and the kiddie clubs we have are right-handed. We'll have to get him new ones, eventually, if he keeps up interest in golfing.

Please pray for Baby Sammi!!!

Sammi is my newborn niece and she needs your prayers. Her parents Les and Melanie could use prayers too. Sammi was diagnosed with RSV. Then she took a turn for the worse. Sammi was sent by life flight to SLC. Her lung collapsed and then they found pneumonia in her lungs. She is a strong fighting baby and we all hope it goes good for her and her family. We love you!

Spring Scrapbooking Retreat at Six Lakes.

An awesome view. Six Lakes Lodge ... love it.Most of the gang ... missing about 4 here.April and Heather.Lory Olsen, stayed up with me until 6:30am the last night.Sandy and Dee.I think we had 8 tables set up.Sandy and Dee having a spoon war.

I got to spend time with some awesome ladies and scrapbook until my eyes crossed. I stayed up the last night the whole night so I could get finished and not have to do it at home. I had that Saturday off, so it should be okay, right? Wrong. I got a phone call at 7:00am Saturday morning asking me to come into work. "Uhmmmm, I stayed up all night, Can I take a nap first." By the time I got packed up and home, I had to go straight to work. I finished my route in a daze and I finally got to sleep 3:30 that afternoon. Thanks to Kelly who put up with me being away and then coming home and sleeping.

Birthday Bash in Logan.

Mid-March we made a trip to Logan for a birthday party. The party was for Emma Mounteer and Tyler Perkins. We ate lots of yummy food, cake, ice cream, etc. They opened presents and topped it off with a snow ball fight. Thanks for all the hard work that went into it. We had fun. The only thing that could have made it better for me would be to have Kelly there. He was on travel for work and was unable to be there. Kruz got tired and threw a fit, Kolby took a nap.

Extended Family Home Evening

We spent a Sunday afternoon back in February at Grandma and Grandpa's house for an extended Family Home Evening. It was really good to spend the time with those who could be there in person and those who were there online. Here are a few shots of my boys with Great Grandma Richens. I just love these moments. I'm just sorry it took me so long to post it. I loved that Grandma was willing to spend time with the boys on the floor playing with Lego's and at the table playing with cars. Thank You, Grandma! Good times.

New Look!

I needed some inspiration. Let's see if the new look helps me any. We'll see!

Wow ... what happened?

So, I haven't been blogging. Lets blame Face Book. I really hated it at first, but then I found a lot of friends that I haven't seen in years. I still don't like all of the silly games and the other things that annoy me about it. But, I can't seem to get away from it. Addicting! I have tried to limit myself to once a day. That works some of the time. On to other things. Kelly left today for SLC. He had to go out for work to the Sportsman Expo. It is probably more like play than work, but Kelly could use the break. The rest of us leave Saturday as soon as Dad and I get off of work. We are headed to Logan and will be back Sunday. Kelly will also be home Sunday. I miss him already. We bought another laptop. I guess Kelly needed his own, so I get the other one. This will be nice when he travels and we can keep in touch better. I have a scrap party tomorrow, so I will keep myself busy getting ready for that.

I entered a CTMH Contest.

Here are the pages I entered into a CTMH contest. There are 19 other ladies who have entered also. The consultant in charge is having all of her scraping groups vote on the pages. I will find out the results next month at our scraping retreat. I did these pages a year ago, but I changed it for the contest. Wish me luck! At the retreat, we make enough page kits to share with everyone else. We go with 20 of our own pages and come home with 1 from everyone else. In just a few days I will have a full scrapbook ready for pictures. Plus I learn so much when we get together and share pages. I can't wait!

Kortney has BIG NEWS!!

BEFORE

AFTER

This is a blog from Kortney!! Take it away Kort...

On January 28th I got my new glasses. They're a pinkish purple color. My mom had to take me from a primary activity just so I could get my new glasses. All my friends were amazed that I got glasses. Everyone was like "Is that Kortney's twin?". They were just teasing me though. They were not being mean. We were just playing around. I have had my glasses for five days. My mom said that I look normal like I've had them forever. I started to laugh about it at school. My friends were always saying that I look different. When I got home from the primary activity I started to watch T.V. from the stairs.

Kortney and Friends.

Kortney has an appointment on the 28th to get glasses. She is very excited. This is something we should have done a while back. She also got to have a small sleepover with friends. Here they are doing "Dance Dance Revolution". They had a lot of fun and stayed up pretty late. We ate pizza and played games. I like to see my kids having fun.

Good & Bad...I get to stay home.

I get to spend the next couple of days home with my boys. The bad part is that it's because Kruz isn't feeling well. I hope he is feeling better by Wednesday because I will have to return to work. For now I will just enjoy my time with them as much as possible considering the circumstances.

Snow Angel

Here is the snow angel that Jalynn made in our snow. I asked her to make it to put a picture of it on our Christmas cards. (Which I never got around to making!) I wanted to share our snow angel with you anyway. Have you ever tried to walk away from a snow angel without messing it up? Not easy! I tried to lift Jalynn out, and she nearly pulled me in.
