Pictures from EASTER

Well I am just a little behind so here are some pictures of when mom and dad and Jessie and Cherice came to visit us. We of course had a terrific time and wish that they could come again soon. We are excited to be visiting you all in less than a month. Good luck on your races this week and next week. I think I might run on the 4th of July, but we will see.

I had my food storage class yesterday which was for the most part a success. Except for one thing. See I had planned on being there early, but I had to return twice to get stuff I had forgotten so I just got there right on time, but I still had to set up and everything. I didn't think it was a big deal because everybody was just getting there and getting there kids out and settled. However, at precisely 10:06 one of the ladies walked out and as she left she told somebody, not me, that she hated when things didn't start on time. I thought it was so mean and I felt really bad. I guess I should have been better prepared. I am over it now though, I had my sulking day and now I've got better things to do. My friend, Melissa, is finally having her baby! And I think shes really glad she stuck it out because she came on her own!! She hasn't had the baby yet, but she is definately in labor. I get to watch her son the whole time, so I should have him over tonight. He is barely 2, and he is a really good kid. not much maintenance at all. Well talk to ya'll soon

1 down 4 to go

I have had a lot of church assignment lately and some of them are hard. Like speaking in sacrament today. I thought it went okay--it was on the 2nd coming so if you ever need info. I have a ton. Next, I have a Food Storage class about Making Soups with Food Storage Ingredients. It is on Weds. and I have been vigorously making soup, but last night Shalee helped me make a terrific one, then the people I had over ate way too much and now its all gone and I needed some for my class. bummer. Then I have to be in charge of Nursery. With Jack going in in 1 month I'm so excited. Then I have to teach relief society on July 6th. And Lastly I have book club at my house on July 9. for book club I let Jessie talk me into a book called the Uglies by Scot Westerfeld she promised it was good, but I didn't have a chance to read it and I had to pick the book so we will see if it is good. I am not complaining, I actually reallly like being busy. I enjoy most of it except being in front of people. Well talk to ya later

Happy Birthday to ME!

I had a wonderful birthday week. Me and Jeff we have the whole week as our birthday since it's to hard to cram in all the fun things we like to do in one day. We go out one day and fix a fun dinner one day get breakfast one day go on a date one day have cake one day so I have had so much fun. I got some new shorts and a new skirt. My friends made my yummy breakfast on my birthday. I ate at Olive Garden my favorite. My friends take really good care of me! I did gain a ton of weight though since I've been so lazy and eating so much. I rean 8 and a half miles today so hopefully that undoes some of the damage. I just found out my friends Linda is pregnant she and Davis are having there first kid. Can you think about what life was like without kids?? I must have been too long for me because I truly can't remember. Life is certainly more fun and full of pleasant surprizes with kids.

Finally Got the Slideshow of Jack's Birthday!!

I finally figured out how to put a slideshow on my blog, but please don't ask me to repeat the process because it took forever!!! I ran 7 miles today, it was fun, but the heat was aweful! I am getting more adjusted to running in the heat. I have to teach a relief society lesson on the first sunday in July and can pick my topic, can you guys think of any lesson you've had that has been really good??? We had a fun Saturday today, we went to Michaels and made free crafts then we bought a pool and slipinslide at Walmart, we decided to do that instead of a pool pass because it will save us a ton of money. Then we played outside and we did the slipinslide it has two sides to it so you can race and Jeff beat me all three times we races. Jack and Laurie didn't really understand how to do it, but they were slipping all over so it was fun. Love

Can't Beat the HEAT!!

Tomorrow is supposed to be 100 and Sunday 104. It's too hot to run, to go outside. I like warm weather, but we are barely in June and it's sizzling. Jack is starting to say lots of words it's fun to see him get big. Laurie is a character, she has learned the art of conieving (me and Jeff are argueing how to spell that word!!!) She tries to talk her way into and out of everything and she always uses the sweetest faces and voice, but she is generally a good girl. me and Jeff went to see IRON MAN it was a great movie. It is fun to go on dates.. Do you guys usually make it out on dates?? How often??
