At Bush Garderns

Mj and Daddy rode alot of rides together. It was so cute to see her get so excited to
ride on each one. Daddy I think was just as excited to ride along with her.

Me and lit'l the crazy head. She is a hoot. I can not believe how she has no boundaries with
people. She reminds about how we should be more happy and inviting to everyone
around us. She will just say "hi" and "bye" to about every person we sit or walk by.

Sleepy head

Sunny sunny day!!

Mj in her sun dress. So hip she needs to wear shades.

What a cute beach bum!! He so good he let Mj put sand all over him almost the
entire time we were there! Love his soft hand with her. Well ladies I just love his hands all together.

Tori Doll and me on the beach with the kids. Oh yah and Darren...I am still
thinking about that last picture. Anyways she is so amazing. Glad to have her there she makes going over worth not having to sit in the apartment everyday.

My Little Angel is Getting So BIG!

Ok so she is far from being an angel but she is so dang cute that she makes up for being such a rotten pill! Thought I'd post some pictures of how much she has grown since January. She has such a creative personality that makes me laugh and cry everyday. Living with a crazy person can be fun but it can also be very draining!!!

She's BACK!!

If you can't tell just by looking at her that she feels a whole heck of a lot better then I am here to tell you that she looks and feels like a new Jamie! She is having so much fun with her new lungs. She is even going to be directing a huge Spring play this year for the end of our season in June. Her segway is collecting dust that is how great she feels. If you want to read more about her click on the JamieBug link in A few of my Favorite Things... So glad to have my best girlie Friend home. Missed her a ton.

My man and I in Virginia!

Totally so Cute!!.....I know I really need keep myself detracted.

These are pictures of the first trip to be with my honey! I had a great trip there not so great on the way back seeing how every plane I got on didn't wanted to leave on time and I ended up there one day longer. Mj stayed with grandma. It was so good to get away with him.

Picture from the CBTA Concert!!

The Centerstage Performers "Coyote Ugly" Jamie's Acting group that
I directed whikle she was away. Below is the ballroom group called "Extreme Ballroom" . Thanks to Adam at the Morning news for these great pictures!

Finally my life has slowed down enough to post some pictures from the concert we did in February! I know I am a few months behind But here is some really fun pIctures of some of the performers and even Mindee and I. We performed a dance piece called "The Curse" dedicated to Jamie.

Hope For Lungs Benefits Concert!

Here is the flyer for the 'Hope For Lungs' Benefits Concert I am directing. I have pretty much been running like a mad women the past month after returning from Pittsburgh and sending 'My man' off to Virgina. I wake up everyday and have a hundred things to do. What a great opportunity though. It's really been one of the more challenging things in my life to put something like this together all while my life around me is changing. I'm not sure which one is more stressful having My Man gone, running the entire school, chasing Mj around while she is trying to get down potty training or putting this concert together. I came to the conclusion it's all of it happening at once. I really wish that I could just do one at a time but Heavenly Father knows doing that would be way to easy. So I get to learn the lesson of balance and prioritizing. I am so thankful to good friends. Mindee is one of those that trys to take up some of my slack and also give me a good laugh once in a while to help boost my moral. What I love is how when you get so busy and then you just get a chance to sit its likes a wonderful day at the spa!! Speaking of that I think I might treat myself to one after this is all said and done.

Pres. Hinckley

Words can not convey how you can feel happy and sad all at once for such a passing. He was a wonderful inspiration to man kind while he served. His willingness to work to the very end is a true testimony of what he lived for. I will keep this in my heart as I feel overwhelmed by life's bellows and trials.....and think my lot is hard. What a wonderful prophet and leader. He was so good hearted. He lead me from adolescence, to a young lady and into motherhood. His homecoming would have been grand to have attended. He will be missed but he has surly lead the way.....

Leavin' On A Jet Plane

My Eyes Say It All!

Mj and I said goodbye to The Man of our lives today! It was so heartbreaking to see her with her face pressed on the glasses doors at airport security. She kept asking for "daddy?" all the way home. I just felt so numb as he walked up the airport escalators to board his plane, that was already boarding when he was still in the security line. Our goodbyes were quick but our eyes said so much. We will not see him for a while....lets just say it will seem like too long. I will miss him so much that I can't even feel right now. I kept wondering how couple do this? I can't believe I will have no one to come home to at the end of the day. I can't possibly understand the loneness that my man will feel. I at least have Mj to hug and hold. Here is a touching picture of their goodbye......

The Three Posts for January!

My Man's Buddies Bowling with us wifees

This is our Trip to Boise Idaho January 17th-20th. Yes I know I was suppose to be in Pittsburgh until January 20th but lucky me I got a phone call from My Man on Monday that informed me that he was know leaving to Virgina earlier then expected. TRY TWO MONTHS EARLIER THEN EXPECTED. I flew home all day Wednesday to get home to be with him before he leaves. He really wanted to go and see his family before he left so we hopped in the car the next day and drove to Boise. He and I had a lot of fun. I wished I'd taken more pictures because I got to see one of my dance teachers Cheryl and take a class from her. It was so good to see her I can't believe how she hasn't aged a day since the last time we saw each other which has been since before I got married. One of the other high lights was being able to see all my old roommates from college and have lunch at Amber house. We had so much fun catching up on everyones lives up until now. A lot has happened to each of us in just a few short years. Any ways here are a few events I got around to actually taking pictures of. Love the one of Jessee she looks so cute prego. The picture next to it is of Ormand , My Man and I's Step father. He had a 70th Birthday bash this same weekend. There was dancing and the whole family came to it. Funny thing is I use to think 70 was OLD but really he is still so young looking and still very active. So I think its just that I am getting old enough to realize that years can not tell you your age, you do!

Visiting JamieBug in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Most of you might already know but January 7th I went to see my sister in Pittsburgh. She was a little skinny when I first saw her and thought how the pictures really didn't show this on her blog before I came. But it didn't take her but a few days and she was laughing and talking with me and asking for her arm to get scratched! Later in the week she wanted to start scrap booking again so we went and got a few things to get her started. Her book is really coming along here are a few picture and sweet moments from when I was there! I miss you Ja.....

My Bestest Friend!

Nothing is like a Mothers Love!

Our favorite nurse "Nurse Dan" He is so wonderful to do the little things for my sis that make a long hospital stay not so horrible. He even rubs her shoulder when they ache from the hard bed!

Here is a video of her walking her 1/2 Mile every morning and night while I was there. She was one of the only patients that wasn't walking with a walker. That didn't really surprise me much, she knows how to push through almost anything now!

Her Ol' stand by, her closest friend, her companion....her faithful husband.

The New Rexburg Temple!

We went to see the NEW Rexburg Temple the first of January as an eternal family. We had alot of fun! It is so beautiful...mostly because it has so much detail. A local artist did all the painting in one of the rooms it was to die for. I wanted to cry. I can't believe how wonderful this experience was for us. Myriam was an angel the entire time. The Temple helpers keep saying she is so cute and sweet. It helped that we had her little monkey leash . I know what your thinking I thought leashes for kids teeter on being cruel but I have learned the hard lessons from a two year old.....the old game of "catch me if you can!" So needless to say I use the leash on just such occasions......Like seeing the Lord House.

The start of all the Christmas Partys!

Merry Christmas to all you fellow blogger friends! We started our Christmas Party's this weekend on the 22nd. My Man and I just got in from the 2nd one tonight and we have another one tomorrow. Yippy! Well its good eatin' anyways. We are so happy this year for all that we have been blessed with. I hope to see all my family at some point in the next coming months. We really miss our family in Boise and all our close friends that live there. Dang those Gas prices. Will be posting some pictures in the coming days for all the fun. Love you all!
P.S My sister isn't doing so good today she went back into the ICU we fasted for her today. I know that Pittsburgh will do all they can. I also know that I'm not the only one that loves her. She will be taken care of. Sometimes you take steps back to take two steps forward. Keep her and Bryan in your prayers they will need it.

MJ Loves Elmo
