Graduation for Brother-in-law, Jeff

A quick trip to Utah for Jeff's (Brother-in-law) graduation from BYU Law School. It was also a great opportunity to have Zac and Alexander finally meet the last siblings (Tricia and Darren & Matt and Beth). For those friends and family that I did not get to see, please know this was a very fast trip. I promise we will be up again... :)

Here is "my love" fishing

Here is my other "love", Alexander

I'm so happy...he's great!

Visiting Temple Square with the Family

Look at these cuties getting clean

Tyler, Natalie, Alexander, and Ben

Alexander loved getting to know my neices and nephews

Tyler (TyTy) had enough and wanted out!

We stayed in Midway at our Family's time-share, and it snowed on Sunday morning

Alexander had fun playing outside while it snowed.

Warning...you are going to see me being mooshy

okay...I warned you! :)

This last picture is kind of sad. As we were traveling home on Sunday we came across this car in the ditch, as it had just crashed. We stopped and Zac ran back to help, "MY HERO"...
They were okay, but it was pretty scary.

I want to be a Gardner...

I want to be a Gardner, but I seem to lack in figuring out how to get a green thumb. I was so proud of myself because I have this plant in my kitchen that I love. The other day I looked at it and realized I pretty much killed it. I tried to plant carrots, watermelon, peppers, and tomatos in my small back patio. Needless to say the only plants that are making it are the peppers and tomatos, and the tomato plant was bought as a plant not a seed. I personally think I lack knowledge in the water area...I have no idea how to water. It's an area of being very confused as I question when to water, or how much to water. I follow advice I am given and then I still kill them. Am I doomed to have only plastic plants?

The pictures are of my little helper Alexander who loves to water. I am only willing to share with you the picture of the tomato plant and the pepper plant (see small container with over flowing water) :)

A new found understanding of "what to cook for dinner"... I heard my mother ask this question. I heard my sisters and sisters-in-law ask this question...I just never realized that I would ask this question. It's hard and I try to find something that we will all like so I have been trying all kinds of recipes and then having Zac rate them so we know if they are worthy to make our menu list. Here is one that my mom makes, calazones. They really are yummy but I used the wrong dough and I over cooked them. Needless to say they didn't score very high on the Zac rating list...I will try again later and see if we can succeed.

Waiting for them to cook

End result, just over cooked.

Mom's are better...

Blessings of Family and Friends

So it's Friday morning and I was thinking that tonight was always "Date Night" for my parents. I was wishing and wondering how I could have a "Date Night" with Zac, but I don't like to "over" use my friends and family for babysitting. So I just put the thought away and started my day, in the normal fashion.
You can image my surprise when my wonderful giving Sister-in-law, Julie (Richard's wife) called to say they would be willing to babysit for us. I was so surprised as I couldn't believe that once again I feel like these little blessings keep coming our way. I was so happy and grateful for her willingness to help me out and make my little dream of the morning come true.
When we went to pick up Alexander he was so happy and excited. He had the best time, not to mention the "cool" gift that was given to him. Julie let Alexander go to the toy store and pick out any toy that we wanted. He picked an aircraft carrier with cool sounds and airplines and all. It was pretty darn cool! Zac sat down and started playing with it as soon as he saw it.
The drive home was hilarious as Alexander couldn't stop talking he was so happy and had the best time. Julie and Richard said he was a good boy and had no problems, I hope that was true. :)
As I said goodnight to my two favorite boys, I felt this overwhelming love and appreciation for my family and friends (Amber, Aaron, Julie, Richard, Tina, Tammy, and Sharron) who have often offered their services to me, Zac, and Alexander.
I can't thank you enough, as I feel so blessed to have you in my life.

Dying Easter Eggs

General Conference and Little Glen's Birthday

To the Zoo with Little Glen Krebs

Tammy is always so giving and she invited us to go to the Phx. Zoo while her Brother, Little Glen, was down visiting. We had a great time and Little Glen was Alexander's favorite friend. He kept saying "We are going to go see Little Glen, but he is bigger than me". I think the little Glen is what threw him for a loop. :)
