A sad day.....

I wish I could understand fully why people have to die so young. Today has been a day of opening my eyes and really stopping to think of how I take for granted all I have been blessed with. My heart and prayers go out to a family that I didn't even know that well but felt a connection for some reason. I can't begin to imagine the pain a beautiful, strong young mother must be feeling due to the loss of her sweetheart. I am so grateful to have met this amazingly strong young lady that has been an inspiration to me and she doesn't even know it. Even though I do not know this family well, I do know that they are truly faithful people who have touched so many lives. Candace if you read this just know that I am here for you! I truly have this special sisterly love for you! May Heavenly Father continue to bless you and give you the peace you deserve. XOXOXO

Oh how beautiful the warmth and the sun......

It has been absolutely gorgeous here in Utah...... I thought I'd better write about it before tomorrow when the snow is to return...... I truly believe the weather messes with your emotions and me being a sun and warmth person my emotions have definitely been messed with...... thank heavens for tanning salons so I can at least feel as if I'm in the sun for oh lets see 12 mins. I still have more to come and feel that I will be stuck in the house for the next couple of cold days so I will update you all on the things metioned a few posts back..... it's to be 80 today so I am going to take advantage of it, maybe even sport my bikini in the plastic wal-mart baby pool while sipping on a Sonic 1/2 coke, 1/2 diet coke with my big offensive shades on! A girl can dream can't she?!!!! Check ya'lls lata..... I'm off to sonic baby!!!

I'm so done with the snow.....

It's mid April and yes we are still getting snow showers here and there. Landon's game was cancelled due to snow tonight. The kids are out of school for 2 weeks, off track they call it..... I call it prison.....j/k no but really..... we were really looking forward to Lan's game tonight just to get out and about! Due to taxes, the dismissal of Micheal Johns, and possible snow on my flippin' birthday, I must go for now before I short out my new laptop my sweet mom and dad got me for my oh so snowy birthday! kiss kiss to all! HELP, I'M FROZEN AND I CAN'T THAW OUT.....pssshhhhtt!

Only in Utah......

Ok, so I have heard as I am sure we all have of a baseball game getting rained out..... but snowed out? Only in Utah! Tonight was Landon's first game as a Utah Red Sox player. As most of you know, he played on the Red Sox with Austin, Carly, Rhett, and many more MVP's back in Texas with THE infamous Coach Jon leading the team! I can tell you, sports period is not the same here in Utah.......we are definitely not in Texas anymore! The weather was crazy today......this morning we woke to rain, then sleet, then major snow storm....... around 1 the sun began to shine and it warmed up, melting all the previous snow. As we are sitting waiting to finish the first at bat, the weather drastically changed.......lightning, thunder, then blizzardy snow again! The temp dropped 15 degrees in 10 minutes. Landon was sticking his 2nd base position, not sure if it was because he's just that disciplined or frozen...... I decided by myself to call HIS game...... we have Texas blood and can't handle this freezing weather.... it's April for goodness sake! By the time we made it home, 5 mins later, the sun was again a shinin'..... WHHHHAAAAATTTTT? And people make fun of Texas weather....... WHATEVER!

Got David?

Really?... Already???

So I have a new calling at church...... I am in Young Women's! I am excited to be in YW again. I am sure nothing can compare to my experience in TEXAS but I do think camping may be bug free and little cooler here! If not, I always have my SUV! Oh and with the new calling, Ms. Tee has new hair.....

Martha inspires me......

So everyone knows my calling in Nursery frightened me at first but as I gave it my all I ended up falling in love with those beautiful children..... here's a little something I made for the kiddos in my nursery class for Easter! The colorful eggs are compliments of Makayla and Landon and the cake...... yes I made from scratch..... it called Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Supreme with powdered sugar glaze icing..... Thanks to Martha and Betty Crocker (cookbook, remember I MADE IT FROM SCATCH! :) ) for the help!

We LOVE David Archuleta!!!

Wow, what a voice for a 17 year old! We have, as many of you have, fallen in love with this young man ! We are proud of you David!!!! I guess you could call me an "ARCH-Angel"..... that ARCH is for Archuleta by the way!
