How time flys.

It seems like just a few months ago that I was at the hospital visiting my sister as she had her second child. I was in the hall as my niece was born. Today she turns 15. WOW! It blows my mind that that much time has passed by. The thing about this niece, Cammie, is that she was born with a clef lip and pallet. If you haven't seen a baby with clef you may not know what makes her so special. If you are not prepared it might be pretty scary. My sister was amazing at preparing the family for what we could expect. Even her two year old daughter crawled right up and gave her new baby sister a kiss as soon as she saw her. Some of this you can credit to the amazing spirit of Cammie that shone though her amazing blue eyes. It is amazing what doctors have been able to do for her. She is a beautiful girl that I am so glad is part of our family.

Shout out to Taylor

I would like to send a shout out to my niece Taylor. Today is her 8th birthday and tomorrow she has made the choice to be baptized. I wish so much that I could be there to share in her special day but her family moved to KY last summer and I just couldn't get away this weekend to drive out with my parents. My two of my sisters and some other nieces are able to be there to support her this weekend.

Taylor even though the rest of us can't be there we will be thinking of you and when you put on your special white dress remember that we all wore it before you and are there with you in spirit. I love you Taylor and I am so proud of the decision you have made to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Checking in.

Here's an update on what has been going on with me.

I have a new responsibility at work. The owner has been looking for people who want to start selling insurance. He helps them get licenced and now I get to "shadow" them while they are learning the quoting system and getting used to the websites for the companies. We now have three that have passed their test and I have helped the first two and have started on the third guy. I don't mind teaching people but it can get boring when it gets to the point that I just sit and watch them work all day and help only when they have questions.

St. George

It was a fun baseball weekend. Kory's team went 2 for 4, not bad. They had some really good plays but also had times when it showed that they haven't played in six months.

On Saturday we just decided to just hang out. We swam in the pool all morning. Then we went and saw "Race to Witch Mountain". It was pretty good. Then the boys played in the arcade for a couple of hours.

We ended the night with a couple of games of bowling. All and all it was a fun little weekend.

What a week!

It's been quite the week. Spring is back and so my life has gone crazy. Last Wednesday was Robert's birthday and we went out to dinner as a family and when we got home I had most of our friends at the house to surprise him. He said he didn't suspect anything until I was texting at dinner. I should have known better, I don't text. I should have had Arrie do it. We all had a good time anyway and I'm so glad that so many of our friends were able to be there. I made a slide show of pictures of him throughout his life and set it to music. It was fun to watch with everyone.

Thursday was busy. We had a BBQ for Kory's baseball team. We do it before every season to let the parents know what the coaches are planing, what tournaments they want to play in, and what fund raisers they plan on doing(anyone want a Domino's Pizza card?). I had to leave that early to get to my Primary meeting.

Friday BYU lost :(

Saturday Kory had his last Basketball game. They won the game and his team tied for 1st place for the season. Then the coach took the boys out for milk shakes but we couldn't stay for long because Kory had a scrimmage baseball game. He play well in his baseball game. He hit really well. Hopefully the boys got some of there jitters out before the tournament that we are going to this weekend in St. George.

Sunday I had sharing time for the last time this month :) I won't have it again until June. After church Robert's sister made corn beef and cabbage to celebrate St. Patrick's day. Then on Sunday night I had Baptism preview for our ward. It went really well. Aaron spoke about what was special about his baptism last year. He did a really good job.

Yesterday Arrie was stressing out about a science project she has been working on. Apparently what she had been planing on doing wasn't what the teacher wanted. So she and I spent most of the night figuring out how to make a machine that use 3 scientific factors like pulleys, levers and wedges. It was quite the adventure but we made it work. Hopefully when she turns it in Thursday it will break her egg.

Tonight will be crazy. I have to have all the laundry done and the boy and myself packed for St. George (Arrie will be staying home with Grandma because she has school assignments due this week that she can't miss since it's the last week on the term). And Robert is in charge of his group for combined activity. They are doing "Iron Chef" and so I will be teaching the kids to make eclairs from scratch. It sound fancy but they are easy to make. So I will have about 10 kids at my house tonight cook.

If you read all of this WOW. Sorry if I bored anyone with the crazy details of my life but now you know why I haven't blogged lately. I won't blog again until after our St. George trip so I let you all know how Kory did in his tournament then.

Happy 40th Birthday Robert!

It's offiical my man is 40 today. He's come so far over the years. I hope you like the pictures.

Boyz II Men

We had a fun little weekend. Our week was pretty busy as spring will do to us, but with Roberts birthday coming up we decided to go to the Boyz II Men concert in Wendover. They have a little concert hall out there that seats about 2,500 people. We went out with a couple of friends to have a quick little get away. The concert was awesome. I wish we could have taken our kids because they love Boyz II Men.

After the concert we went and got a bite to eat. Then there isn't much to do in Wendover if you don't gamble so we asked around and found out that there was a live band playing at one of the other casinos so we headed over to check them out. They were rocking it. All old school R&B. We danced in the bar for a while until they took a break and by then it was getting late so we headed back to our hotel. The hard part about it was that we lost an hour of sleep so it ended up being like 1 am before we got to bed. I had to be back for primary on Sunday so I couldn't even sleep in very much. It was worth it. But yesterday I sure felt it. I guess I'm not as young as I used to be.
