Lake Powell - July 2nd - 5th, 2010

We went to Lake Powell over the 4th of July weekend again this year. We had a blast. We go to the Wahweep Marina just outside of Page AZ. The weather was amazing, the water was perfect. The house boat has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We ate great food and watched some of the games of The World Cup.

Thank you Hall family, for the great memories!!

What a Mother's Day!

I know that Mother's Day can come with mixed emotions. For those we can not have children, for those who have lost children and for Mother's who wonder do I measure up, I'm I doing a good job.

I had a wonderful morning at church, came home and was showered with gifts. I got to take a long nap and woke up to an amazing dinner. (Thank you Donny and to all my kids) I love you!

We've got Annie!!

How do you measure success? Sometimes its so private no one ever knows the things that you have been through to bring you to a moment, to that place. We can be proud of our children and of the things they do, but when you know how hard the battle has been, your heart is even fuller for many reasons.

Last year at this time, we were in a very different place, Shelby was in a different place.

Shelby’s making the lead in her middle school musical was wonderful, not that she doesn’t have the talent this girl can sing!! It was a triumph in ever measure.

Shelby was Annie, in the middle school’s version of Annie Jr. The play ran for 3 nights. April 5, 6 & 8, 2010. She did an amazing job.

Devin and Derek worked as stage hands

Halloween 08

Looking Back a Little - Back To School

Shelby is in 7th grade

Devin and Derek started at a new school,

They are in third grade

The boys ride their bikes to school now,

we will see how well the works in Winter.

When I grew up we started school the Tuesday after Labor Day. So to me September means the start of school. Here in Utah and in many others places back east, school starts in Aug, to me Aug is still summer. So getting back into the swing of things is a little difficult. School began on Aug 18th, that's crazy to me!

I have a wide range of kids at different schools, I have one at BYU, one at UVU, two at Provo High, one at Dixon, and two at Lakeview, and still one at home.

Derek and Devin attend the newly built school, it's beautiful and large. Lots of play area and they get to ride their bikes. They are loving it right now, we will see how fun that is in the winter.
