Memory Tag

So, it's been a rough couple days. Yesterday a good friend of mine passed away - WAY too young. Today BB got hit by a car while on his bike - NO WORRIES - he's ok, just a little banged up. His bike is another story. Anyway, I saw this post on my cousin's blog and it looked like just the thing to cheer me up - so DO IT - or not, whatever...
Here's how you play:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. It's actually pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Shout Out to Janae

So, a few days ago, we got the 'black screen of death' on our computer. I'm still in a little bit of panic mode because (of course) it has been awhile since I have backed up files with photos and other important information. We're not sure how much we can recover at this point and I'm trying to stay calm. So, I was just checking out some of my friends' blogs and I guess the same thing has happened recently with Janae's computer - and her recent post reminded me to 'not sweat the small stuff' and just enjoy the extra time I have without my computer. Thanks Janae! :)

BirthWeeks

Last week, while in St. George with Whitty, we joked about how we would celebrate her birthWEEK instead of just the one day. It was a great excuse to take her on our 'YW' activity in the first place and for extra presents. So this week, we continued the tradition with Diggity's numero tres. He doesn't think he's three and just says, "That's a 'w'" when you show him his age with your fingers. However, he definitely wasn't turning down the presents that came with turning three...

Dig's papa insisted that he start golfing young.

His parties consisted of jumping, swimming, and eating way too much sugar (including the frosting off his ENTIRE cake)

I Want To Believe

...That this will be a good movie

I Have No Idea How They Measure This...

Movie Reviews

But I'll take it

40th Birthday, Reunion, and Such...

Happy Birthday BB!! The big 4-0 was last Thursday and was celebrated by many friends and family members. It was great to see some old friends as well as newer ones and, thankfully, the weather pretty much cooperated because 50 people in our house would have been a little scrunchy.



The piñatas were a big hit with the kids...

Proof that Whitt really loves Jason;)

From the birthday, we headed up to Cache Valley for BB's annual family reunion. The kids had a great time hanging out with their cousins - who treat them like gold. We always love this reunion and have a great time catching up with everyone.

Yo Yo Yiggity Yo

So, my new lingo is "for shiz" based on the movie 'Juno'. Haven't posted in about a month - simply becasue things have been hectic. I love having a job that I can do from home and only gives me work three or four times a year. However, when that happens, things get a little stressful. But - the project is finished...we all survived (lucky for my kids) and now we have a crazy summer to look forward to. Not as crazy as some though - some of you are moving back to the states from Europe and a couple of you are moving from the states to Europe (both of BB's brothers!) The kidlets have been happy and busy as ever - we went to Lagoon today (photos later - the batteries died in the camera) and Anushka has almost mastered the bike with no training wheels. She crashed spectacularly just a couple of days ago. Had she not been wearing a helmet she would have AT LEAST had stitches. Her head hurt anyway but no blood. I am proud of my kids banged up legs:


Actually, neither compare to what my ankle looks like at the moment as a result of a serious hack in a soccer game last week. No photos though. I'm also currently sporting a pretty sweet looking lump on the front of my neck. The doctor thinks it is an infected lymph node and my YW think it's a huge zit - now I bet you're really sorry not to see pictures of me :)
