Boring Post

I haven't updated for a couple of weeks but there's not much to blog about. I don't have any new pictures or exciting news to share - This is about as exciting as it gets around here:
1. We got the cooler up and running.
2. Cleaned Jessica's room and put away all her High School "stuff" -
3. Jessica and I did a shift at the Brigham Tabernacle today. We had a man and his mom come
by and that was it. I got a lot of reading done and Jess was totally bored out of her mind!
4. Went to lunch with friends.
5. Talk to my girls on the phone
6. Vacuumed my car.
7. Made Jess get up and walk around the lake with me.
8. Water and weed the garden daily.
9. Making Trek menus
10. Went to the Ogden Temple
(For some cute pictures go to kids blogs - they are way more fun to look at and read)

It's been a while since I've posted but I've been on VACATION! My wonderful husband let me fly down (to Mesa) after my last day of work! I've had a lot of stressful things going on in my life and I needed to have a break. I haven't been able to come for this long of a time for a while so it's been a lot of fun to spend time with my some of my family.

Shara and my mom picked me up from the airport and took me to my mom and dad's. It was late so we needed to get to bed. I tended Abby for a couple of days while Shara had to work and we bonded great! She is so adorable and such a cute little personality. She is quite the little entertainer. I want to put her in my suitcase and take home with me - (I'll bring her back in August!)

John and Nyla were there for the first few days. It's always fun to be with my sisters wherever we are. Jeanie and I would run her errands while she rested! (j/k!) We tease her about being the "favorite" because mom is always saying "Nyla, go rest! They left Monday morning to head back to their home in Reserve, NM.

Jessica decided to fly down here Tuesday night. It was a surprise but a nice one! We were all glad she was able to come. I didn't have near as many phone calls with her down there! I think she just wanted Filiberto's Rolled Tacos - she loves them.

We had a "Girls Night Out" one evening and went to Chili's. There were 10 of us that went. It's always so fun to catch up on everyone and their families.

We've also been busy helping AC and Shara paint their new home and get ready to move in! It's a beautiful home and is looking very nice with the paint job. I think they'll be a very happy little family there.

Lynsee gave us a facial wax (eyebrows, above the lips (known as moustache's) - yes it "smarts" but not for long! (Haven't decided to post the pictures or not!) Thanks Lynsee - you're awesome! She just graduated from High School and is off to EAC in Aug.

We always have some big project that needs done when we get together. We tied Lynsee a "college quilt" and had it on and off and even bound (by Jeanie and Mom) in two days! I helped Shara make a baby blanket for her friends and finished sewing her denim/checked quilt together (she started it many, many years ago).

It was such beautiful WARM weather. It usually hit 100+ most days but it still cooled down at night. I loved it! It was so nice to go for walks in the mornings or evenings.

I'm looking forward to August for my Dad's 80th Birthday party when we'll all be together again. My whole family will be going down to it so it will be great fun.

Thanks for the good time everyone - love and miss you all.
