Update May 2012

Well...I went to my blog today and said..."HOLY COW"! I have not updated in awhile....like almost a year.....Alot has happened in that time. We got a foreign exchange student the day Preston returned from his mission, Preston went off to college at EAC, then Preston got married DEC 30th to Chelsie Martin, my mom fell and broke her hip and I made two trips to Idaho to help her out, I started a BARBIE PARTY called the Triple M Club (Marvelous Mattel Makeover), Dallin played football and wrestled, I got released as Young Women president, I got sustained as the Cub Scout Bear Leader,....well......now it's summer again and we have planted our grow boxes full of yummy veggies and we have pretty flowers blooming all over our yard. So that's it in a nut shell. Here are some pictures!

This is a traditional poise that we like to do. We started doing it when Sara joined the family. This year we had to get another chair in front for the grandchildren to get another line going.

My seven grandchildren!

Here we have them....all seven of my wonderful grandchildren laying on the grass in front of our home.
