I'mmmm Baaaaack!!!

Hello there - I am so sorry I haven't posted for such a long time. Life just gets hairy - you know what I mean? We have been busy getting the Drive-In up and going for the summer months, and even though that shouldn't be an excuse, it makes life just that much crazier. With baby and house and business I start having to try finding the time to sleep. I am thinking of all of you though, and kicking myself for not keeping up.

We went on a little vacation to Phoenix to see Karina and our friends Brad & Kathy. We had a lot of fun hanging with them, and I think Matt had the most fun. He golfed EVERY DAY! Yeah for him. We went to the zoo, and swimming, and did a fair bit of shopping. I got some great new books with Karina, and then Kathy and I found the Big Dog store. You have to love them.

I came home and had the Drive-In open the following weekend. We have been trying to keep up with everything else. I have been working on the yard too. I have planted lots of flowers this year, and done some cute pots for out on our new deck (looks fab) and did some hanging pots out front. I'll try to take some pics. We also celebrated Christian's first birthday, and Easter, and her sealing/blessing all in one whack. What a day. Amanda got married May 8, and we went up to SLC for that. We've also had graduations, seminary grads, and missionary farewells. Lots of fun family get togethers. That has seemed to have something every weekend. We've had both sides of the family going too. It has been a lot of fun. Lots of good food too.

I've been trying to get things prepared too because we are going to Mexico this week, and I can't wait. Christian is going to stay with the Grandma's and I think she'll have fun too. They spoil her rotten. Well, I will try to be more diligent, and post more frequently. I need to just do it certain days. I love you all - take care

Misty's link

Okay Misty - I have no idea what a Scentsy is but if you click on her website, www.scentsy.com/mistybarry you can chack them out. I may have to buy one to see how they work. I hear they have some great scents. And by the way, I have no idea how to create links and stuff so you'll have to forgive me. I can barely type.

Early morning

Okay - I know I let this go for awhile, but life gets crazy. I am sitting here early in the morning. We are going to get ready to take Christian to the temple to be sealed to us today. What an awesome feeling. I am so excited, and it feels like Christmas. You know the anticipation and excitement. You just can't sleep any longer sometimes. I was looking some stuff up for a talk, and thought this might be nice too.

I don't know why, but I take a lot of pics when Christian is getting a bath. For some obscure reason, she must just pull the heart strings when she is wet or something. We were bathing her a few weeks ago, and I took this. What a little "bathing beautie."











This pic is one I just had to take. She was standing at the french doors, and her big blue eyes just popped out. She was looking out at all of the cars, and she kept looking back to see if I was coming after her. She is doing the, "I am doing this, are you looking, and are you going to come after me, and I can crawl away squealing, or am I in trouble, or am I just the cutest thing you've ever seen?" thing. She is a dolly though - huh?
