Enjoying Family!

This morning I was able to attend Landon's soccer game. They tied 3 to 3 and it was an exciting game. I loved being able to holler "Go Landon".

I helped watch Sarah's little ones last night (Katherine did a great job!) and we watched SpiderMan. It doesn't matter what we do it just means so much to me to spend time with them. Families are great and I am thankful to be a part of the lives of mine.

Out and about with the family

Youth conference was great for us because we congregated at Gomm Ranch in Star Valley. The youth had a blast and we got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. It was an enjoyable trip and like a vacation for us. It was Katherine's last year to attend YC so being in the beautiful mountains with family made it even more memorable. The times we spend together become precious when we appreciate the everyday moments.

We're already there

There are so many things I would like to do. I am impressed by the wonderful things you are doing and you inspire me.

Christy, training for a race that will help people is very noble. I will donate soon.

Troy and Amanda you are making memories by your travels and Amanda, your writing is worthy of publication.

Lynette,our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through your experiences with such bravery. I sometimes think I would like to have more, be more and do more but in reality I have everything I need because of the people I know and the love I feel from the Lord. I'm blessed to be able to build windows with David that express our creativity and bring joy to the people we build for. Thanks for your blogs so we can share each other's lives.

Past Independence Days

This Fourth of July was pretty quiet for David and I. Katherine went boating so we were alone. I started remembering the Fourth when I was little. My Dad would make green chili burritos. I have never tasted any that were as good. And talk about HOT. We had friends of my parents over for firecrackers that they had to cross the border to Wyoming to buy. We would walk to Stanley Lake to swim. Sometimes we would go to Lakeside to watch the fireworks over the lake. This holiday also reminds me of the time Dad spent in the Merchant Marines and the Army. He spent 14 months on the front line in the Korean War. I am grateful for our freedom and the sacrifice soldiers have made to protect our country.

School's Out Forever! (Alice Cooper)

This is a pretty busy month for Katherine. She turned 18 and now she is graduating from High School. All she needs now is a drivers lisense which is still beyond her comfort zone. The big day is May 29. Her plans afterward are to get a job and start UVU in the fall. She had her seminary graduation last week. I guess she is growing up.

Katherine's birthday

May 4 was Katherine's birthday. I find it strange that my youngest kid is eighteen years old. She had friends over for movies and lots of food. What a weird feeling that she is an adult now. I'm in no hurry for her to fly the coop. Well, the next step for her is graduation. The next step for me is acceptance that my relationship with my kids is changing to another level. I'm excited because I love how the relationships with Christopher, Laura, Amy, Dane, Camille and Sarah has grown and I expect the same with Katherine. I sure am blessed.

Prom 2008

Katherine and Scott looked great as they left for Prom tonight. My baby! She looked like a 1940's Vixon.

I was really worried because I made her dress and it's the first dress I have ever made by myself. Scott's tie was almost as hard. But all is well and she looked divine dawling.

Creative Writing

This week was spring break. Instead of going to the Florida Keys we got creative. Katherine wrote a children's book of poetry for a Children's Lit class along with some paintings for AP Art. I spent some time on my book of symbolic patterns. This one is a compass rose. We enjoyed our time together even though we didn't get any swimming in.

Inspired by Lynde's house

I recently visited my good friend, Lynde. Here is a photo of her solarium with the windows we built for her. Every visit to her house is inspiring to me. I feel like I have been transported to Nauvoo in the 1860's. She is the kind of friend that every artist needs, or maybe every human needs. We are all enriching our lives, our homes and our families and it's fun to feel inspired by others in our quest for enlightenment.

Morning walk

This morning was so beautiful I just had to go for a walk. There wasn't a lick of snow anywhere! I love the snow and I love to see it melt into Spring. I was not motivated to start a blog but after encouragement from Sarah, invitations from Christy, assistance from David and upon further reflection I will attempt with trepidation to graduate into a more technical realm. I will try to say something of significance as soon as I think of it.
