I love this picture!

I took this picture three years ago over Memorial Day Weekend. I remember we went to the cabin and it was too cold to do anything. Too cold to play on the beach,too cold to boat, almost too cold to sleep. We had to build a fire to keep warm and wouldn't ya know it the chimney was clogged and the cabin filled with smoke. But look at the SMILES on their faces.

I love these guys!

My Mother

(She started teaching in 1966)

-This is my wonderful Mother! She has so many gifts, but one of her greatest is teaching.

-She was born to be a teacher, even as a little girl playing school with her dolls, she knew that's what she was going to be.

-She is the most positive, energetic, optimistic person I know.

-When I was younger I remember everywhere we went- kids would come out of nowhere and hug my mom. I did have to share her with hundreds of other kids over the years, but she some how had enough time and love for all of us.

-She is retiring after 31 years of teaching. I know she will be missed, but I also know some grand kids that are so excited so have more of her!!

We love you MOM!

Check your ring

Dave gave me this ring May 9, 1996. The diamond fell out May 9, 2010. Fourteen years to the day.

Luckily it popped out in the middle of Sacrament Meeting onto Abby's lap. I can't believe our luck.

CHECK YOUR RING SETTING!

CREAMED WHAT ON WHAT?!?

So..... we found ourselves on a Sunday night with no meal planned. Saturday ended up too crazy and I didn't get to the grocery store. I don't know why those Saturday Stake Conference meetings that start at 4pm always catch me off guard.

Anyways... we were rummaging through the food storage and nothing was sounding very good......UNTIL we came across the case of tuna. (I've never been a fan of tuna) but for some reason a tuna recipe that my mother made for me as kid popped into my head.

"Hey we could make CREAMED TUNA ON TOAST"! "YUCK!" is all I heard back (in unison). "No, really guys it's good, I loved it when I was a kid".

So..... with 5 skeptics breathing down my neck I looked up a recipe and made it. Guess what.....
THEY LOVED IT! (or at least pretended to.) :-)

CRAWLING 101

She's not there yet-but with all the training from her siblings we're expecting her to take off any day now.

Kate and Grandpa

David's parents came for a quick visit. What a spring treat- we don't get to see them very often.

HAPPY EASTER!
