Update for Jesse's Blog

For those of you who are wondering what happened to Jesse's Blog, I couldn't log into it (long story) so I made a new one for him. Just click on his name over on the side bar, I will put up what pictures he sends me and his letters.

Its Here....

Its that time of year, the Madness starts today. Will your house look anything like this??? I know mine will.



Here is who Josh will be cheering on at our house, he has been a die hard fan of them since I can remember, so if you see him wear a lot of light blue you will know why. Good Luck to your favorite team!! I think Kell and I will go get us a pedi.

"Wall Makeover"

For Christmas Jared and Lexi had our family picture framed for us, it was so beautiful but the only problem was that we didn't have a wall big enough for it to hang on. So they had a idea to fill in the wall above my fireplace so it could hang there. They arranged for all of this to take place and after it was all done Jared was able to match the paint and did a awesome paint job. Now as you can see it hangs so beautifully, perfect fit. Thanks cute kids for all your work you did I love it! Its really nice to have a very talented daughter-in-law who helps with my interior decorating, something I am not very good at. If you haven't seen the makeover that she did on Josh's room you need to go to her blog and take a look, it was amazing.

Brimhall "Bobcats" Cheer Squad

YAAAAAH!!! She made it, she is on the Brimhall Cheer Squad, Congrats Jakelle we are very proud of you!

JaKelle performs at the Suns Game

JaKelle's dance group performed at the Suns game on Tuesday night, they all looked very sharp in their orange outfits and they covered the whole basketball court. She did an awesome job and I am very proud of her, she has become such a good dancer. I tried to get some better pictures and a little video of her but my camera was not working right.
I just wish our Suns could do better at their performance, we have lost 6 straight games, Dang!!

My Sisters Are the Best!

My two sister came and spent some time with me here in Arizona I was so glad to have them here.  We did lots of sister stuff, went and got a pedi, saw a movie and ate lots of popcorn, went out and sat in the Jacuzzi, had long talks, did a little shopping, went to lunch everyday and did a lot of laughing.

I love this picture, my sis-in-law Karin, was taking the picture and we couldn't quite laughing.

We were getting ready for a big family BBQ, I had a lot of good help cutting up all the veggies and fruit.

The boys were golfing that day and were hot so they decided to jump in the COLD pool...brrrr





Bayleigh loved eating the fruit covered with fruit dip, isn't she adorable!!!

Couldn't be a party without some ROCK BAND they sounded like professionals.





Jared got his hammock out that he brought home from Paraguay and guess who found it???

I think he fell asleep, it looks very uncomfortable to me.  I don't know how anyone could sleep in one of those.

Josh did a great job speaking in church on Sunday, he really struggled trying to speak English in front of everyone, he did share his testimony in Spanish and shared some wonderful experiences he had, he loved his mission and has grown so much, you can feel that whenever he talks about it.



My Niece Kaitlyn surprised Josh and came down from BYU to see her favorite cousin, thanks Katie we loved having you here.  It was also good to have Lynn's parents and his sister come down from Utah, thanks family YOUR THE BEST!!!

Airport Welcome

When we flew into Phoenix from Costa Rica, our wonderful family was there to welcome Josh home. He was very excited to see them and was a little shocked how his sister had grown. His Aunt Carrie and cousin Candace was able to come (thanks guys) and then later we met up with Uncle Richard, Chelsea, Doug and cute little Bayleigh. First place Josh wanted to go eat some good American food....Texas Roadhouse,Yum-O!

Thanks Lexi and Jared for having my camera there and taking the photos, and for making the signs, it was a great welcome home for Josh.
