back from camping!

We went camping last week and had a great time. We adventured to a new spot... Dead Horse Ranch! Despite it's name it was a nice place. We went shoppin and antiquing in Sedona and Cottonwood. We went picknickin at Slide rock and the boys went golfin. In between all that we hiked a little (watch out for poison stuff... ask Mike about that) ate LOTS of yummy food, watched some great movies (Walmart has $1 DVD's... ya gotta splurge and get some... it's cheap hilarious entertainment... ask Mike about Wasp Woman!).. AND we played some intense Phase 10... try playing it backwards for a change!

Hi jacked!....

For any of you that may have noticed.... my BLOG was momentarily hi jacked, hacked or in other words... there was an identity thief on the loose and MY BLOG was the victim.... Fortunately... I was able to fix MY BLOG... AND the culprit was caught (there was only ONE suspect) and fessed up and he was given a severe NO NO!! ... AND to keep this from ever happening again... I had to take extreme measures.... YEP.... I changed my password! So I apologize to anyone that was traumatized by this unfortunate take over and it should NEVER happen again! But ... to make sure YOU are not a victim like I was... be on the look out for this guy....

... Pretty scarey.... so BEWARE.... AND never, never, NEVER give him your password!!!

nothin much...

nothin much goin on right now... we're just gettin ready to go campin... I CAN'T wait!!! Besides that we've been decoratin a little in the house and watchin the flowers grow outside!

Mike's first time BLOGGING!

Craft Day...

Please notice how prompt I am posting this new BLOG... I think I might be getting the hang of it! Memorial day was a great day for me and the girls (some guys were there too) to have another fun crafting (and eating) day. You can see we had a sparkling time making firecrackers for the 4th of July! Mike spent the weekend painting (and helping us with our crafting needs) and making our home beautiful! It was a great weekend!

We're back...

Mike & I are back from our little trip to Nashville/Kentucky. We went to help Aimee with some handyman projects... and of course we had the handiest man of all to do the work... Mike! It was fun and we got a lot done. Their house is cute and surrounded by green... REAL green... not the fake gray brown green found in Arizona! AND of course it was great to see Joslyn and Lexy be as cute as ever!

Catchin up...

OK... so I'm not real speedy at posting on my BLOG, but that's OK... cuz when I do it's worth lookin at! First of all Happy Cinco... and as with all of our family fiestas, there was bueno food involved... lots of mexican food and homemade Churros by Jaron & Kristin. Way Yumo!

Also in May Mike & I went to a VERY nice dinner at the Scottsdale Convention Center hosted by his work. The best part is that we got in a little dancin... Thanks Mike for WONDERFUL slow dances!

We also celebrated Momma's Day! Thanks to all my kids and grandkids for making me the happiest momma in the universe! I love ya all SOOOOOOOOOO much! and... thanks to Mike for searching AND finding my momma's day present (how DID you know what I wanted?) and thanks to my fam for always showering me with presents and goodies!

AND... here are the Moms that are the biggest examples in my life: my girls, Kristin, Teresa & Aimee... Happy Mommy's Day!

Now... get out the Kleenex.... Mike and I gave OUR moms a Mother's Day present ... We took Brandon and Trent with us and we did the baptisms for both of our parents and other relatives. It was a very special experience and we are excited to do the next ordinances and to prepare more family names. So a very special Happy Mother's day to Doris and Eleanor!

Well, May was just ANOTHER GREAT month in our family. Now it's off to Nashville tomorrow to see the fam! Life is good!
