General Conference

This year we were able to go to General Conference because Juliette was 8 years old.  We had tickets to two of the sessions.  It was a great experience being there in person.  I hope we can make it a tradition.

Soccer

Major made the Desert Ridge Junior High soccer team.  Only about six 7th graders made the team.  Their team is really good.  Major doesn't get to play as much as he would like, but he still enjoys it!

Lucy and Juliette are also playing soccer with AYSO.  They enjoy playing and getting treats after the game.

Labor Day

Today I labored all day making a place for the back packs. I have always wanted the cute lockers that I would see in Pottery Barn, but I didn't have room. I had the idea to make "fake" ones, but couldn't find anyone to hire. I finally just decided I could do it. It was really hard and took me all day. Major was my helper. I just hope it holds up!

I'm thinking about painting the middle with chalkboard paint. I also want to put pictures above.

Temple Square Reunion

Last weekend I went to Salt Lake for my 20 year Temple Square Mission Reunion. I stayed in a hotel with four other sisters and we had so much fun! I came home deliriously tired, but spiritually fed! I was blessed to have gone to such an awesome mission!

Lazy River at Bluewater

Bluewater 2010

We had a great time in Bluewater this summer. It was so green! We had rain just about everyday. This is my favorite picture that my brother Stephen took.

I'm always amazed at how much I enjoy going to Bluewater, since I didn't enjoy it very much when I was a kid. My kids love it so much and can hardly wait to go every year. This year the men and boys made an awesome tree fort.

Here is a picture of some hail that my sister Liz took. We all stood and watched it was so amazing. I can't wait until next year.
