HELLO

This family blog is getting boring..........is anyone out there??? We need some action!
What's up with everyone?

New Spotlight

Sorry, I've been slacking on the spotlight....sorry.

New May spotlight is MOM.....so....if anyone has any questions you would like to ask your mom, I'll add them to the list.  Also, mom, it's your turn to answer those questions.

Hope you guys are doing great.  If there is anything happening in your lives, let me know, and I can add it to the "events" calendar.

Trip to Reunion Site

Hey, I just thought I'd throw out this bit of information for those of you who are caravanning to the Reunion with us. I mapped it out and from our place it's gonna take 5 hours and 10 minutes to get there! If we are supposed to be there at 3pm we will need to leave AT LEAST by 9 am to include gas stops, Potty breaks (more than normal with a 4 yr old on board), Food stops, and we will be towing a trailer, so our speed is also in question. It is a lot of mountainy roads with nasty switchbacks. So.... Just so you all know. Lets definitely get our shopping done on Saturday night the 31st while we're all here so no one is getting up at 6 or 7 am to make a run to Wal-Mart before we leave. I also mapped out from Rexburg for Sam and Shy and Adam. 4 hours 16 minutes going through Arco and Mackay. Good luck! 

Just thought you'd all like to know.....

Who Killed Elvis?

Scott was in a school play last night.......he was an Elvis impersonator........I thought it would be fun for everyone to see his costume............he had a great time with the play. You have to remember that the actors were 7th graders....and it was Pierce City school.........the important thing was he enjoyed it!!

Look What I Got For An Early Mother's Day Gift??

The best gift ever!!! Nice surprize......REALLY!!!
Happy Mothers Day to meeee!!!

Yeah Toast

Here sam.. here is the guy doing yeah toast. Although i have never heard the last verse before the texas toast but its funny. Me and Justina did it for our ward talent show once.

Talent Show

Okay well thought this was funny and an Idea for the Talent show. I have plenty more! and Im posting em!

May Spotlight

Any ideas who our May Spotlight should be? I was thinking either Shelly or Mom.....any one else have any input??

OK

Now that I have calmed down and this computer is finally cooperating, at the moment, I remember what I was going to say. ..........

I am still trying to get the meals worked out for the reunion. It probably is not that big of a deal for anyone, but myself.........but I need to have as many things taken care of and organized BEFORE I leave Missouri to save my sanity.

So far, Samuel said he would take Wed. breakfast. Sally and Jake said they would take one of the meals and I can't for the life of me remember which one it was......whether it was a breakfast or a lunch. So let's hear from all of you, and get it writing so I dont' FORGET!!!

I hope everyone has paid Suzanne by now. We have less than 4 weeks guys!! Oh, by the way, I bought a bunch of kites from Oriental Trading. Seth mentioned that having a kite flying contest would be fun and I agreed and found some fun ones so I ordered them. They should be here tomorrow or Thurs.

Grandpa and Grandma are in their new house. I brought my camera the last two times we were there helping them move in but I totally forgot to take any pictures!! So I promise I will get some posted after we visit them on Mothers Day!!

I have a question now............Seth and Melinda........did the shirts get ordered ok?

AARRRGGGG!!!!!

I am soooooo FREAKIN' sick of this S T U P I D computer I could just SPIT or swear....it's that bad!! Do you know how many times I have tried to post something in the last hour and had this cranky thing just shut down on me? I can't even count them!! And then trying to get it back on is THE MOST FRUSTRATING thing EVER!!! I can't even remember what I was going to put on this blog in the first place!!
One of these days it will just decide not to turn on and then I will be so lost!!
When I remember what I was going to say, I will TRY to do another post!! I can tell you all now..........a new computer is the NEXT thing on my list.......hope it holds out till then.........may be awhile!!
