Happy Summer to Everyone! We've had a few days of Summer-like weather and the kids take full advantage of it. :) Utah is known for it's "crazy" weather--like 90's for a few days, then 65 degrees for a few days etc.--so we have to play on the fly and enjoy both the warm days and the 'cool' breaks in between. :)
I've been behind on my Blog, so I'm going to try harder to keep up! Thanks for all of YOUR wonderful pictures and updates--how I love to see your families grow and thrive. :)

SUMMER'S HERE! :) We've had some nice weather and just look at the fun. :)

It took me three weeks to complete and I couldn't be more proud! When I realize I applied 10 layers of either stain or paint and this after sanding every nook and cranny by hand--it's by far the hardest home improvement project I've ever attempted. :) Yaaaaaaaaaaa for doing it right. It looks even better in person. :)

About Me

My photo
Life is Awesome! I grew up in Apple Valley California with 2 brothers and 2 sisters--the best in the world. I married my Knight in Shining Armor and Blessed Him with Three Perfect Children--hee hee. We are a Military Family so we've traveled the world (mostly) and we have friends from all over the globe. We never take our families (including extended) for Granted since we've never been able to live close until now--2007-08. (And by close I mean a 10 hour drive) :) I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and because of it I've been richly blessed and loved. There is no better life than one with a Testimony of the Savior and my relationship to Him--to KNOW who I really am, where I came from and where I'm headed. Peace of the Soul is Priceless. I've been on Both sides--I KNOW the difference.
