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!

Back from Salt Lake

We're back from our little Salt Lake trip. It was soooooooo much fun! We stayed at Dan's and we went to a buncha places.... like Antelope island, Union Station, The Browning Gun museum, Model homes (very nice and way different than AZ and we wanted to buy some!), a ski resort, Temple Square, Joseph Smith Building, Beehive House, Church museum and even DI!! And of course we ate some way yum food! The weather was beautiful, but a little chilly as you can see in the pics. Also the flowers were in bloom at Temple Squeare and absolutely gorgeous! We will just have to go back cuz there is so much more to see.

One more thing...

Ok... besides the fact that I have BLOGGED more than once today... I have been requested by my sweetie to post the picture below.... Sooooo.... here it tis... Mike's favorite meal on Sun's night... chili dogs!!.... yep there ya have it. But don't be runnin over here with yer mouth all waterin up for some homemade chili on a blessed by a higher authority weiner... I ONLY allow chili dogs to be eaten once a month.. so you'll hafta call for reservations!

more details...

I guess I can elaborate one of the activities of the fam recently... YES... there were BOYS at girl's night.... BESIDES the ones that were 3 and under...BUT only after their softball game and so it really doesn't count... EXCEPT one of them played some BLINK (which is a great fun and super fast game) and won a prize! But I won't mention any names...
