Happy 50th Birthday Bonnie

Today is my sisters 50th birthday, the day she has been regretting for awhile as much as I will be in a few years! She is a great sister who is always there for me when I need her and always supports me in my coming to Arizona to my kids special occasions. She is the best Nana to her two grandchildren, and manages to go to school, hold a full time calling, and work full time, don't know how she does it all! Happy Birthday Sis. love you lots!

Homecoming Dance!!

Well, it has happened, my baby girl got asked to her first Mesa High Homecoming Dance, all of this is very exciting but also very emotional for this mom, just don't like to see her growing up so fast. With my boys it was pretty easy getting them ready for a dance, they either wore a tux or shirt, pants and tie, this will be fun trying to find a dress that is perfect for my Kell. Congrats JaKelle, I know your super excited to go and with who asked you! WARNING you know your dad and brothers are going to sit this boy down for a long interview, HEHE.

found on the porch, cute cute idea!

YM/YW Jumpstreet Activity

The young men and young women went to Jumpstreet for our combined activity, its a room wall to wall full of trampolines, the girls got pretty creative with their pictures doing flips, back flips and aerials. We had the place for two hours and by the time they left everyone was wiped out! Fun place to go if you are looking for an activity of party, they even have dodge ball tournaments, they didn't last long doing that with the guys throwing the ball so hard.

Hurray for young women's

Sisterly Love!

This is my mother-in-law Sherry, and her sister Celia, Celia is preparing to undergo a bone marrow transplant this week and her sister is her donor. Sherry has been such a trooper, determined to take everything the doctors throw her way without a second thought. Today is the third day of the bone marrow harvest for Sherry, the goal is 10 million cells and they also start infusing Celia with Sherry's cells. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Sherry and Aunt Celia and to their families, Im so grateful for such special people in my life.
