New Look

I was up for a change and this is the outcome. I know....pretty drastic, but for an Arizona summer I think it is perfect and easy. I was trying to achieve the Katie Holmes new look and I think Kristie did a pretty good job!


 

Twilight

On my way home from Utah after Women's Conference at BYU my flight had been delayed.  I inadvertently packed my book so i went to the airport bookstore to buy a new book to read.  Christy had raved about Twilight so I thought I would see what it was about.  She was right...what an awesome read!  I haven't been able to put the book down, in fact Saturday I read 12 hours straight.  I am hooked.  Right now I am half way through the 2nd book "New Moon"  

BYU Women's Conference

Wendi encouraged me to attend BYU Women's conference this year.  She attends every year and loves it.  I invited Mom to join me and we had an amazing two days!  The messages were great and I came home feeling spiritually energized.  I think I will make it a tradition and will invite my sisters and sister in laws to join in the fun!  During the last session I ran into an old friend from High School Emily Jacob who is now married and has 6 kids.  Wow!  Great to see you Emily.

Rock Climbing

Jade wanted to try her hand at Rock Climbing, so after the Pinewood Derby we set off to the Anthem Community Center so Jade could scale the wall.  Not bad for her first try.

Pinewood Derby - 3rd Place

Ethan's First Pinewood Derby!  Tyson and Ethan worked for a couple weeks to design the ultimate driving machine.  Ethan placed 3rd in the overall race.   Way to go Ethan!  

Spring Break 2008

The kids and I traveled to Rocky Point Mexcio for Spring Break.  We enjoyed 4 fun filled days on the beach.  The weather was a bit chilly on the first day, but that didn't seem to stop the kids from playing at the beach.  Jade had a fun time getting her hair braided which she has kept in for two weeks now.  

Easter Eggs for Family Night

For family night the kids decorated easter eggs.  Jade did tie dyed ones with glitter and Ethan created star wars characters.  Jade wanted to keep her eggs "forever" until mom described what a rotten egg smells like.   

The infamous Yoda Egg!
