HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!

Well, I can't believe my little girl is 30 today!! Sarah and her darling family came over for dinner with Amy and Clark and their darling little girls. We had BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, salad, cantaloupe, pineapple and Amy made her a birthday cake and I made homemade chocolate ice cream. It was tasty! Sarah got a new camera and was taking pictures like crazy and she will blog them on her site. I only got one on my camera. Anyway, I can remember the day Sarah was born, like it was yesterday, it was wasn't it???? Wow how time flies by. It is so hard to believe that my little girl has 4 children of her own, and one in 1st grade! Geez, I remember sending Jeff to 1st grade, wasn't that just the other day??? My how the time slips by, I just want to tell all you young mommies out there, (like you are all reading this) cherish all the moments you have, each day, even the "won't this day ever end days", You will miss it one day! You will look back and say, where is my little boy? Where is my little girl?? They grow up so incredibly fast! Once they grow up though, they then become your best friends!!! I love each and every one of my kids and I consider them my bestest friends ever!!! I am so proud of the fabulous people they are and that they all have the gospel in their lives and are teaching it every day to their little families. Happy birthday Sarah, my little princess! I love you!!! Mom

update; busy gramma and grammpa

I did it!!!!!!!!!



OK, well, I finally have a minute! To all of you who think where I am in my fun life means extra time, well, you are so very wrong! There is working, being with hubby, working, babysitting grandkids, working, shopping, grandkids, shopping, cleaning, visiting with our kids, shopping, AND reading the TWILIGHT series!!!! I am finished and it was so much fun and such a great escape! And for me to read 4 novels of this magnitude in the space of 4 months, is about as big as me getting my bachelors degree!! Loved it and Sarah, you need to read it!!! Get busy, I have them all!!!! I am starting the Host, and everyone says it is hard to get into, so with that in mind I am trying to get into it. Also, I got my first of the year illness!! I have a crappy cold and I took today off to feel better. I went to school yesterday and I was so sick, I hope I didn't get them sick, however, they are the ones I probably got it from in the first place. Anyway, if you looked onto Misty or Aprils or Sarah's page, you know that we did a little babysitting for our fabulous kids! And what a great job John did with the boys while I was working!! He wins grammpa of the year!!! We had Ashton and Logan from Sunday to Friday and Sarah had Ethan from Sunday til Wednesday, then John went up to get not only Ethan, but Luke as well. And the boys were really good!!! They ate good and slept good and got along very well. Of course there were moments, they're boys for cryin out loud! But I love each and every one of them!!! I didn't get as many shots of them cuz my camera was at school and here are some of Amy's cuties too.

Mallory eating an Oreo, isn't it pretty!
