So my question is, have any of you saved or printed out your blog pages? I'd like to use my blog as part of my journal (pictures and all) before I change my blog. So, have you done it? If so, how? I promised Briana I wouldn't post anything else until I've changed it!

I love it, I crave it, I want more of it! We were lucky to have Val's family come and stay for a few days...the hubbys mainly golfed and we hung out, played a lot of "Wacky Six", and went to the City of Rocks!

The only problem...the weather! It sucked! We've had some perfect days for boating, but the wind and cold weather appeared when they came! We still had so much fun...(don't ya LOVE Mike's wetsuit look...I HAD to take a picture from the front AND the back!) and I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of them in the water...sorry! Oh, the faded picture you see...we were busy talking and Braiden started putting pieces of playdough on the screen door! We had to take his picture throught the screen! Naughty boy!

Well, I was GOING to catch up on laundry, clean house and paint my bedroom, but who wants to do that?! Brian had us pack a few snacks, some warm clothes and get in the truck for a family outing. And then we drove...and drove...and suddenly we were at the Bruneau Sand Dunes. Apparently my Dad took us here when we were younger (but I don't really remember it!). It probably would have been extremely fun, but the wind was so strong that we couldn't even talk to each other, seriously, or we would have a mouthful of sand! It was beautiful and we did have some family fun. But we were still finding sand in our ears, in our pockets, you name it...for days and days! After the Sand Dunes, we stopped for a hike up to Balanced Rock, but Kelsie and I decided to stay in the truck while Brian, Briana and Kaycee trekked it! I'm really not a wimp (or pregnant, as Debbie thinks!), but someone needed to stay with Kelsie, who REFUSED to get back out in the cold and wind! Fun times, I tell ya!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-48015047060784410802009-01-14T22:01:00.001-08:002009-01-14T22:02:19.083-08:00At this rate......I'll have 10 total blog posts in the year 2009! Yes, I've become quite the blog-slacker, but I've become quite the Facebook-er! Facebook is much easier to maintain since you just quickly comment, reply, etc. You don't have to "decorate" a blog or give it facelifts...you just come and go! Okay, so you fellow facebook-ers...are you slacking on your blogs too or are you ignoring housework, children-time, making dinner, etc. in order to maintain your blog?!

Well, the other night, Kaycee said, "yes" and so I snuggled in bed next to her and we began THE TALK. No, not the "how are babies made" talk, but the "is Santa real" talk.<br /><br />So she asked if Santa is real, and since she is 9 years old, (and an honors student, I might add!) I decided it was time for the truth...I responded with, "well, what do YOU think?" and she laughed and said she thought Santa was me and Dad because "how could someone fly around the world, in one night, being pulled by animals that aren't even real." (Aren't reindeer real? I saw some at The Quilted Bear a few years ago!) Well, we had a great chat about how it is fun to believe in Santa and that the IDEA of Santa is real...Then came the next questions...<br /><br />"The Easter Bunny?"; "The Tooth Fairy"; "Mother Goose?" (That's a Campbell Family New Years' visitor...apparently NOT REAL either!) So we had a great chat about all of them as well. You could tell that she was actually kind of proud that she was in on the whole Santa thing now-you know, she has a younger sister that "still believes" and Kaycee likes the idea of knowing something that her sister doesn't know. <br /><br />Well, just as I was feeling like a great Mom, and as I was kissing her cheek one more time prior to leaving her room, she blurts out, "Oh! So Heavenly Father and Jesus aren't real either!" Crap! I've got a lot more teaching to do as a mother...Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-31050155781508995052008-11-19T22:05:00.001-08:002008-11-19T22:06:26.927-08:00I figured if I changed the background of my blog, everyone would think that I've posted something.

Gup, how about in winter-all-year-round-Montpelier? Did you get it? Church was cancelled for my in-laws ward, 10 minutes away, why weren't we so lucky?! I mean, my, weren't we blessed!

I'm Alive!Hey, I've REALLY been missing this whole blogging thing, but apparently there are a few things that are really important to me that were higher on my list! If you haven't given up on me, I hope you're still checking with me now and then and keeping in contact, even if I've been MIA! Here's a few highlights from the past couple of blog-less months:<br /><br />1) <strong>School started!</strong> All of my children are now in school, so what does that leave me? Well, smart moms would enjoy this quiet time to catch up on housework, renew hobbies that have been put on the back burner, etc. I guess I'm not a smart mom...I decided to go back into the work force. I am now working full time as a secretary at the elementary school...hmmm...750 kids+1500 parents+45 faculty members=1 crazy office chic! I have a greater appreciation for administrators and teachers, I tell you!<br /><br />2) <strong>Church callings!</strong> You know, if anyone ever tells you that being the Primary President is much easier the second time around, don't believe them. Oh, and if anyone ever tells you that running a Primary with 50 kids is easier than running a primary with 180 kids, don't believe them. But if anyone ever tells you that Primary is the BEST place to be, believe them!<br /><br />3) <strong>Temple Celebration!</strong> Wow! What a crazy, but amazing time this has been! I was a counselor in the Young Women program before this Primary calling and goodness gracious, what an awesome but busy time it was getting ready for the Twin Falls Temple Youth Celebration! If any of you have experienced one of these, you know how time consuming but amazing it is! The Open House was amazing! Brian and I were able to serve as ushers, inside the temple, during this time and Briana (who is now a YW!) was able to serve in the temple too, putting footlets on those who came through. President Monson, President Eyring and Elder Cook came for the Youth Celebration and for the Dedication! It was fantastic! And we now have a temple in our midst! Yippee!<br /><br />4) Growing Girls! Yes, that's right...I'm officially OLD! My oldest baby is now a Young Woman and in Junior High, my middlest baby is dashing through 4th grade, and my youngest baby is now in school! Oh, that reminds me...I haven't posted from Briana's birthday! It was in July! Crap! <br /><br />Well, that's just a quick summary of the past month or two, so hopefully I'll "get bloggin'" again! Just so you know, I really DO check your blogs weekly, I just haven't taken the time to post my own! I swear...I saw all the awesome pictures on my sisters blogs from our family reunion...I saw that retarded picture on Catrina's blog from our High School days...I read the frustrating car problems on Karen's blog...I saw that Angela had moved oversees to take on the Philippines...I see that my cousin's blog is now private and I can't get on it...see! I do check yours, and now I'll go and check them for this week! Adios! Hope you haven't given up on me!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-67965678788740547332008-07-12T18:13:00.000-07:002008-07-12T18:54:33.907-07:00We have a temple!In the past, we've had to drive at least 2 hours to get to the temple. Now, I'm not complaining about that. I realize that MANY people live much farther than that from a temple. Our temple district has actually been the Logan Temple...a good 2 hours from Burley. We also have the Boise, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Ogden Temples within a 2 1/2 hour drive radius! Lucky, I know, but guess what!? We now have the Twin Falls Temple 35 minutes away! Yippee! <br /> <br />Well, the great news...ANYONE can go inside the temple right now. Anyone! The public Open House just started and continues until August 16. Then we'll have the huge Youth Celebration with 14 stakes of youth and the Dedication on the 23rd and 24th of August. So exciting! Briana has been practicing with our Stake and is dancing in the Youth Celebration! President Monson will be there! So much excitement going on around here! So, if any of you are in the area during the next month, take some time to go to the Twin Falls Temple Open House (and then I'll feed you lunch or something!).<br /><br />Oh, and lucky me, I will be "hosting" in the hosting center following the Open House tours on July 22nd so come and see the temple, see me, and have a cookie!<br /><br />The girls and I went to Twin Falls last week to go school clothes shopping and we stopped by the temple to take a few quick pictures. We're so excited for a temple!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxrds-xt7E1c-mjKUJPQTaWxPCBzjTOFQQ6UD2Op-s638RBCXJC5-uLK7ouA_xB3fiVQ-se3i9jeWGROQcY-r1OknUeIVI-PCHkBm0cbkms7fLvwAU_4NYqPZ4Gz_fEs8czEthOhutuw/s1600-h/S7301012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxrds-xt7E1c-mjKUJPQTaWxPCBzjTOFQQ6UD2Op-s638RBCXJC5-uLK7ouA_xB3fiVQ-se3i9jeWGROQcY-r1OknUeIVI-PCHkBm0cbkms7fLvwAU_4NYqPZ4Gz_fEs8czEthOhutuw/s320/S7301012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310540626679826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfECAkKgtUqs3CFAABtCStwnGCUU9xsOBqlLlKYfOchXrm7QTLKr98iDCrNENmFdj4hT-U-ojFC9Td25dQqNNDQgYGMLHmwnG0eq_alQkftb59bGuseXOrPxjecPzFegQkcF9TxEfZobA/s1600-h/S7301013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfECAkKgtUqs3CFAABtCStwnGCUU9xsOBqlLlKYfOchXrm7QTLKr98iDCrNENmFdj4hT-U-ojFC9Td25dQqNNDQgYGMLHmwnG0eq_alQkftb59bGuseXOrPxjecPzFegQkcF9TxEfZobA/s320/S7301013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310544964613154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGd0FPDktCPWQ1vTYa49mqONZ7J0-m_Y1Qg-RiTqUOKOStTtgZnA7jtPeJBd6RLpJhYynXuV2vQ-AL_wUfmrcsPajKoFdpOCp7cys5s7JnFWuJpjf-tGFW9xSF22mSTdES5A5RCfP3W8/s1600-h/S7301014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfGd0FPDktCPWQ1vTYa49mqONZ7J0-m_Y1Qg-RiTqUOKOStTtgZnA7jtPeJBd6RLpJhYynXuV2vQ-AL_wUfmrcsPajKoFdpOCp7cys5s7JnFWuJpjf-tGFW9xSF22mSTdES5A5RCfP3W8/s320/S7301014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310553217624722" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBfQKDHqSFWKqmoFg_WWEqfAE0DzUI9Aipkhb-QGaUJd2PfitNS_9i441wJfq4HBmD5EI8XoRRAZ0Y8VnTDfloyxoEhWWNDqc-7gg-j_eK4wKnGznxmUeS62iNxeSyqaxLuXSOgM6o1A/s1600-h/S7301016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBfQKDHqSFWKqmoFg_WWEqfAE0DzUI9Aipkhb-QGaUJd2PfitNS_9i441wJfq4HBmD5EI8XoRRAZ0Y8VnTDfloyxoEhWWNDqc-7gg-j_eK4wKnGznxmUeS62iNxeSyqaxLuXSOgM6o1A/s320/S7301016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310557478303842" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTjyM5SrfLUvRaIusb_uaNWiWmWIu66aRA94HtALqZi6vkajsbg1pcodlVNIyzZCQMyvBsUKBP_iV2peNtso21eOBQN-zvabMlJ0mfZ3-7VxSOCWSCyOfzBJ1wbTxUFcgghqrT9SzCnSQ/s1600-h/S7301017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTjyM5SrfLUvRaIusb_uaNWiWmWIu66aRA94HtALqZi6vkajsbg1pcodlVNIyzZCQMyvBsUKBP_iV2peNtso21eOBQN-zvabMlJ0mfZ3-7VxSOCWSCyOfzBJ1wbTxUFcgghqrT9SzCnSQ/s320/S7301017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310566971066738" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4GW5bi9S9tz3Q85qcAF2yLAq-RHL3d60Rl5jHXzdiV0jeMsF0828eeX2OWu7kLwtrGGghX7hWUzQvV8WXiTh7t_dZkW7UTNsXIXR3n4UWCj0MUvvHhLij071AoO3QQ6tVH3rI9B36YA/s1600-h/S7301015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4GW5bi9S9tz3Q85qcAF2yLAq-RHL3d60Rl5jHXzdiV0jeMsF0828eeX2OWu7kLwtrGGghX7hWUzQvV8WXiTh7t_dZkW7UTNsXIXR3n4UWCj0MUvvHhLij071AoO3QQ6tVH3rI9B36YA/s320/S7301015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222310899261495970" /></a>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-33464602753771295972008-06-30T07:36:00.000-07:002008-06-30T08:10:08.148-07:00Campin' in the CountryWe just got back from a little campout with Brian's family. Well, I don't know if you want to officially call it a "campout" since we just pitched our tents in his brothers yard and we didn't have a campfire, but oh well, it was fun anyhow! We thought we were going to at least have a campfire, so we brought our marshmallow roasting sticks and our Starbursts. Have any of you tried roasting Starbursts? They are heavenly! Well, we didn't get to roast them...no fire...so we ate them the old-fashioned way...unwrap and pop them in the mouth! Not as fun and not as tasty, but oh well. I think I said "oh well" too many times, so I'll just show some pictures now: Here's Grandma Nut in the tent playing cards with cousin Mallory, Kelsie, cousin Shaeley, Kaycee,and cousin Abby:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZFz3YPcKvKfu7sxMyWEUl-IonWwZtv8xCXuliFrU9WL71qisQZUc3x3ZSp6HdHCmsuYKirwufgJuKyX1ggqNAn3rBfjzNJZEIiYTEI10Vtk4KMJZCufhQ1okih0y5YfjNV53udWQZ2w/s1600-h/S7300973.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZFz3YPcKvKfu7sxMyWEUl-IonWwZtv8xCXuliFrU9WL71qisQZUc3x3ZSp6HdHCmsuYKirwufgJuKyX1ggqNAn3rBfjzNJZEIiYTEI10Vtk4KMJZCufhQ1okih0y5YfjNV53udWQZ2w/s320/S7300973.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217686272670579634" /></a><br />This picture is taken from inside the truck looking out at Briana, Kaycee and some cousins riding in the back (I'm usually a paranoid mom, so it took a lot for me to allow the older girls to ride in the back of the truck!):<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ML5SsNnHTE2j66IuPXAaDZxqfPXGZghhjBZl1Rslk6L4oW_P-IK-CdPoLT9UYVOA3hqWcG9SDtvV7ocEepf5rQqWpIBYOlKfcNpsSMyQD1MSfjH2pab5i8Rfo0pjVKvbTk7T8QD-owQ/s1600-h/S7300974.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ML5SsNnHTE2j66IuPXAaDZxqfPXGZghhjBZl1Rslk6L4oW_P-IK-CdPoLT9UYVOA3hqWcG9SDtvV7ocEepf5rQqWpIBYOlKfcNpsSMyQD1MSfjH2pab5i8Rfo0pjVKvbTk7T8QD-owQ/s320/S7300974.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217687294329192450" /></a><br />They live in this tiny town of Virginia, Idaho so apparently gathering eggs from the chickens is normal!

These pictures are from their May recital. Yeah, I'm a month late, but as the saying goes, "better late than never", right?! The girls had a great year in dance and since my pictures from the recital were too dark, here's a few picts of the girls in their dance costumes. Briana was Grandmother Willow and Kaycee was a Savage (Indian) in the Pocahontas Ballet. Briana and Kaycee also performed in some jazz, lyrical, and hip-hop numbers. Kelsie was a precious ballerina in a few Dumbo songs and I was a proud mom (Brian was a proud dad who couldn't wait for the final curtain to close! Those dance recitals can go on and on and on...)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqQK6ab8EPdvhfgf6336r_dUdsLVvb8Hklab1U4kJMOLk1FqxWc_EdUGa8x9iXFv3AMFyw7P20oalHomBEkC-tiKw1oyL8yZZdc7IGisNzfKrpI2tn9Q9Zn6u5uo3APnDV3H4cXXoln0/s1600-h/image-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqQK6ab8EPdvhfgf6336r_dUdsLVvb8Hklab1U4kJMOLk1FqxWc_EdUGa8x9iXFv3AMFyw7P20oalHomBEkC-tiKw1oyL8yZZdc7IGisNzfKrpI2tn9Q9Zn6u5uo3APnDV3H4cXXoln0/s400/image-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215203946531119778" /></a>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-35998831554158800662008-06-23T13:23:00.000-07:002008-06-23T14:22:19.489-07:00Girls Camp...Done and over with...I spent last week with a bunch of Young Women in the great outdoors...it was a fun and spiritual experience, but boy, is it great to be back home! We had 20 girls and 4 leaders from our ward (about 100 girls in the stake) with a jungle theme..."It's a jungle out there; you've got to be steadfast and immovable..." This year it was stake camp and seriously, it was the most organized Girls Camp I've ever seen! <br />We did so many fun things (rappelling, game shows {Don't forget the Lyrics}, contests between bishops, tie-dyed socks, archery, skits, etc.) as well as many testimony building activities (devotionals, night hike, missionary moments, trust falls, etc.) I didn't have time to miss my girls back at home! Here's a few picts from the week...yes, that's me with a bandanna on my head...it sure beats having to worry about fixing my hair while camping!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB3uZF34PMmQKypBJBPgzIdS4ZWxSmOSnknbRN_k5uc0HiogpLPhb-cNnGxgfdH-xHxdx9IA-5Bx9ZWZHoNcb4tlyvjCV1Ma3Pu9AUuLTuFWDtyLtsatHaMCIFA9lyKO2mpEinMC2Jlyg/s1600-h/collage1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB3uZF34PMmQKypBJBPgzIdS4ZWxSmOSnknbRN_k5uc0HiogpLPhb-cNnGxgfdH-xHxdx9IA-5Bx9ZWZHoNcb4tlyvjCV1Ma3Pu9AUuLTuFWDtyLtsatHaMCIFA9lyKO2mpEinMC2Jlyg/s400/collage1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215189649867050466" /></a>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-70762643002083849192008-06-10T15:15:00.001-07:002008-06-10T15:15:34.149-07:00I'm alive...I'm alive...barely...Hello! It's been a month since I've blogged anything and boy, have I been missing out! It looks like I'm not the only one who has a busy life, but can't it just slow down once in a while?! That'd be nice. You see, in the past, when I had a free moment, that's when I would blog...read yours, post on my own, etc. Well, in the last month, if I had a free moment, I was reading the Stephenie Meyer books (finally!) and, as you know, once you start reading them, nothing else gets done! No housework, no church callings, no blogging, nothing.<br /><br />Well, I have to say, I'm actually a big fan of Jacob Black. Most of you love Edward Cullen, but I am drawn to Jacob and I don't know why! I guess that I'll have to wait until August to find out if I'm still a Jacob fan...<br /><br />A few weeks ago, we packed up (jeep and all!) and headed to St. George for a much-needed get-a-way! The weather was perfect and the company was even better! Ben and Nadja were there too and they stayed at my Mom and Pop's house and we stayed at Val and Kory's house. Joel and Kally were a hop, skip and a jump away, but the best part (no offense to the rest of you) was that I was reunited with Keith! <br /><br />As most of you know, I hadn't seen Keith, my twin brother, my other half, my womb-mate, whatever you want to call it, for 3 1/2 years! He's only in Vegas and I'm only in Idaho, but for whatever reason, he couldn't come to a lot of family things in the last few years and I wasn't able to get to the get-togethers that he was at! Since I'm the older twin (by a good 3 minutes)I demanded he meet me in St. George and he did exactly as I said! (Kinda like the fly-swatter-licking scenario when we were young). It was also Brian's birthday (crap! another thing I need to blog about!) so we had a birthday party in St. George and the twins reunited!....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfg_VjJcKMr-MvyOh3YbsczHFsEj0NlAPSQS5wtoNumtUeKIO7I0i6xoruO7922jrdCrkSoUCoGFVhf1GFC2FhcRKtruVsjoxrb2s7Xs3Mgi68aw7BQwUCRjNhCFsrOa8y0rSYen1vk7s/s1600-h/S7300716.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfg_VjJcKMr-MvyOh3YbsczHFsEj0NlAPSQS5wtoNumtUeKIO7I0i6xoruO7922jrdCrkSoUCoGFVhf1GFC2FhcRKtruVsjoxrb2s7Xs3Mgi68aw7BQwUCRjNhCFsrOa8y0rSYen1vk7s/s400/S7300716.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210364141062172898" /></a>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503056037309465054.post-23566496863661302722008-06-10T14:15:00.000-07:002008-06-10T15:18:30.047-07:00St. George ("what? No heat stroke?!")Yes, you read that right, we were in St. George and we didn't die of heat! It was actually a bit rainy and cool while we were there...comfortable! We had so much fun at Val and Kory's house! Our girls are really close to their girls (and Gavin!)and so they just played, played, played! We brought the jeep down so the boys could hit some trails, but I think they were more successful on the golf course! Of course, the sisters and Mom are just fine with hanging out and chatting, but we still found time to play at the Sand Dunes, watch Karissa play ball (she's REALLY good!), throw a birthday party for Brian and Karissa, go out to lunch with Pa, play in Kally's pool, and barbecue! It was so fun to relax and have a ball! (Sorry Val, Nadja, Kally, and Tran, the few picts I have with us in them suck!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnqXR7A6f0cYbedP1iwVBGq1DFzcuDU2GL13iUwYJ1nRBDjA-kCP8ihwrkwZXZ54TMvDbJWzKdgyCswrZaaNPTsh87lNVRlHjeJf6iDYnlrIulaU9UN0TWAR9d0_jxBa2QmLUuPdwFhgU/s1600-h/St+George+23.JPG"><img style="float:left;

You would not believe it, but following church, he surprised me by fixing me a feast! Seriously, a feast! When he finally let me come into the kitchen, the table was full of sauteed shrimp (to die for!), a fruit platter with fresh pineapple, watermelon, cantalope, strawberries, kiwi, grapes, apples and pears, chips and fresh salsa, a caesar salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots on the side, and teriyaki chicken! The girls were so great to jump in and help dad too! Thanks so much, family of mine! (Now, if there was only a way to celebrate Mother's Day every Sunday...)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7jGoFbc_55Qqd02XTjFQ9CfNnnTqEUy5WG3q7UgUEJQZ_k22zcSE1M1bKgW0oyB5WXYLxBEFNEqdKlfsuLmi_GR0Sihc0lwg-_t66S_edAFeiIpD05SzvSCgokauOksKBKAZUE2xl8U/s1600-h/076.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7jGoFbc_55Qqd02XTjFQ9CfNnnTqEUy5WG3q7UgUEJQZ_k22zcSE1M1bKgW0oyB5WXYLxBEFNEqdKlfsuLmi_GR0Sihc0lwg-_t66S_edAFeiIpD05SzvSCgokauOksKBKAZUE2xl8U/s320/076.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200020695332246770" /></a>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433582878353111778noreply@blogger.com18
