I've Been a Slacker

I know I haven't updated in awhile. I am the biggest slacker. But I have become very addicted to Facebook. However, updates are in the works. More to come.

Mandy Girl

On Friday, April 3rd, I got to spend the day with my cute little niece, Mandy.

We had so much fun. She let me do her hair, but I had to distract her by putting on Shrek. We went to lunch with Jon at Carl's Jr. where she recited her ABC's and told us the color's she knows. She is a smart cookie.

Then we went to the dollar store. This is a tradition with all the niece's and nephew's when they stay with us. Usually they only get to pick out 5 item's, but I was feeling pretty generous. She picked out a doll, Hannah Montanna sticker's for her wall (she's only 3), a magnetic fishing set, and some other girlie things. Then she wanted a playset with a gun, handcuff's, a police badge, and other stuff. She really wanted it and I tried to reason with her that it was something boys played with. In the end I caved and all day she called it her "Under Arrest" set. I showed her mom and was glad that it didn't seem to bother her.

She is such a fun little girl.

On Thursday, March 26 1998, Jon and I were sealed in the Jordan River Temple. It was supposed to snow, but it was a beautiful, sunny day. We had lots of family who attended and supported us as well as close friends who were flown in for the occasion. It was a wonderful day.

Daffodil's in Snow

So, I thought the first day of Spring was on Saturday, March 21st. And, it was a beautiful day and only lasted for 24 hours. Sunday was windy, and then, today, it snowed. I hope my daffodils can endure this crappy weather.

Dedications and Birthdays

Yesterday, Jon and I attended the 10th dedication of the Draper Utah Temple. It was so amazing. We listened to wonderful speakers including our loving prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. I love his talks and you can just feel the love all around him. Even thought we had to watch the dedication from our stake center, we could still feel the spirit and it felt like we were really in the temple.


We also went to Dean and Jay's last night for dinner in honor of Daniele's birthday. She has turned the ripe old age of 29 and is looking forward to being 29 for the rest of her life. It was fun to be together with family and celebrate. Happy Birthday, Daniele!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!
