Weekend with Family in Utah.

Visit with Uncle at Cougar Stadium

Twice TAGGED!

I just got tagged TWICE.

Thanks, Julie and Jeni. (Don't worry, I'll get you back.)

Well, I shouldn't complain because it was fun to do.

First one, from Julie.

This is how it works.

You go to My Pictures

and into your fourth folder

and click on the fourth photo in that folder.

Now describe it. Well, here goes . . .

This was the touchdown winning pass in the BYU vs. Utah game in 2006. It was a pass from John Beck to Johnny Harline with no time on the clock. Player #74 is Travis Bright. He's got quite the vertical leap, especially at 330 lbs. It was the first win against Utah in four years. I wasn't at the game but was listening to it LiveStream at KSL.com. I remember Greg Wrubell yelling over and over and over, "Caught for the touchdown! Caught for the touchdown! Caught for the touchdown!" And in the background you could hear the excited squeals of a grown man. It was another climatic end for a BYU football game. GO COUGARS! The final score was 33-31.

Now, Jeni and Lori and Talia, consider yourselves TAGGED. Oh, and my sister-in-law, Sally, the photographer, TAG--you're it!

****************************

This next one is a little more time consuming. You fill in the blanks.

I am...still in my stinky sweats. I need a shower after the treadmill and TurboJam.

I miss...being 30.

I think...that menopause sucks! Why is my body rebelling like this?

I love...Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup shakes from Arctic Circle.

I know...a lot less than I thought I did. What’s up with that?

I want...someone to come clean my house from top to bottom. Oh, and any volunteers to potty-train Halle?

I search...the scriptures for answers.

I wish...Sarah Palin was running for President.

I hate...peanut butter and honey (together).

I am scared...of WHAT? With God, all things are possible.

I fear...that I enjoy my food too much, that I think about it excessively:)

I am always... planning.

I love...quiet time, ie, MY time because the kids are down for naps.

I feel...like onion rings. Don’t they sound good? How about rocky road fudge brownies? Tortilla soup anyone? Or hot rolls and honey. DELISH! Fries and shake are always a safe bet. Or Sherri's chocolate chip cookies. YUM-O.

I hear...Lucy fussing, the clothes dryer humming, my children singing, Josh Turner. (oh baby! What a voice.)

I smell...laundry soap. (It's faintly there, yes!)

I don't always...smile enough, enjoy the moment I’m in.

I wonder...how big the young trees in my yard will be ten years. Will we have shade?

I care...so much that I have a hard time expressing my feelings adequately about things that are important to me.

I regret...not ever being a runner. I want to be a runner! Am I too old?

I am not afraid...of the future.

I believe...that there is a plan for eternal happiness, that my Heavenly Father loves me.

I dance...to Herb Alpert and Dean Martin. My kids love to dance with me. My husband likes to watch . . . It cracks him up.

I write... to give others encouragement and joy, to make you laugh and sigh.

I win…when my husband and kids are happy and healthy.

I lose… (hope to lose) this darn pregnancy weight that won't go away. Go on, SHOO!

I never...have skied. And I grew up in Utah. Too chicken. (Scared of heights.)

I listen...to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Dave Ramsey.

I can be found...watching the stars on clear nights.

I read...kids books, romances, the scriptures, mysteries, suspenseful books.

Whew! Finished. What a list. Y'all think I'm a weirdo, huh? Who wants to be next? JULIE and the ANWA chicks!

Save the Family. Save our Nation.

PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF MY BLOG,

after the last blog note.

Pause the "inspirational" music on my playlist

and just listen and watch. You'll be inspired.

Marriage is the union between a man and a woman.

It is the most important unit of society.

It is ordained of God.

We need to take a stand now, today.

This issue is coming before the voters in California,

but it is important for us all--in every state and country.

We must talk to our friends and neighbors.

We can and NEED to be a force for good in this world.

We must be strong and vocal.

Speak up! Be heard. Be seen. Be counted.

May God bless us everyone.

May God bless the USA.

Flag FB Weekend

This is how we spend our Saturday mornings.
We love it.
The boys keeps getting better and better.
This was our last weekend of flag FB.
(Mom and Dad are secretly relieved.)

Scouts: Last Week's Pack Meeting

Big Mac doing a skit.

Pinning the Wolf pin on his mom.

His cousin is in his den! (He's right behind him.)

Another pose for the camera from Big Mac.

My oldest two boys are in scouts.
One is a Webelo and the other a Wolf.
The Boy Scouts of America is a wonderful program.
My boys have learned so much from it.
Knot tying, cooking, biking, sports, hiking,
bird watching, camping, campfires, service, clean-up,
crystals, engineering, art, recycling, energy, fix-it's,
cooperation, responsibility, creativity,
etc, etc, etc. This list is endless.
