Time Out

Last Friday I traveled to the convention center in Nashville TN with these wonderful women above, Ruby, Me, Sherry, Linda, and Doty to watch Time Out for Women. They now have a Friday night session which consisted of songs from singer/songwriters Hilary Weeks and Kenneth Cope and then a speaker Chieko N. Okazaki who was just great!!! She wrote "What a Friend we have in Jesus" which I had read. Then Saturday from 8-4 we had speakers and more music from Hilary Weeks who is just the sweetest!! One of the speakers was Chris Stewart who wrote the Great and Terrible series. We are big fans of that and he was so nice. We also had Jason Wright who wrote "Wednesdays letters" that I had read and loved. I just finished his last book "Recovering Charles" which was good but doesn't top "Wednesdays Letters". Also there was Carolyn Rasmus and Emily Watts both with excellent talks and both with books I had read. It was a great uplifting couple of days. I love Time Out!!! And if you're wondering, yes, I cut off my hair a couple of weeks ago. I really like it so far.

A little update....

Well the last few weeks seem to have gone very fast. I seem to have settled down into a work, eat, sleep mode. That seems to be what I do.

Chase has been voted into the position of Grand Chief for his Jaccos Town Lodge - Order of the Arrow. (I hope I got all that right)

In Coby's world, Lindsey got a new 8-5 job with a employment service and is enjoying a regualarly scheduled life.

Corey & Nicole and kids had a bad a storm down their way and ended up without power for a few days. They stayed with Nan & Papa a couple of days.

But before the storm, and I meant right before, I must have left minutes before their power went out, I watched the kids while Corey and Nicole went out. Of course I took my camera and this time a couple of things happened. First, Trevor discovered my camera and that it kept pictures in it so when I would go to take a picture of him, he would come toward it. So you will notice a lot of "closeups".

Second, a long while back we got Tristen that kids digital camera. So he decided he'd take pictures too. So we ended up with pics of all kinds of things, toes, ceiling, you name it. We were snapping pics so fast that some came out blurry and are no good. Here's what I could salvage:

Sitting at a computer with mouse at hand, remind you of anybody????

Random pics from the past few weeks

Last Saturday the whole family got together but I didn't really take many pics. But I got some of my favorite little guys!!!

This is what happened to Trevor when Aunt Lindsey picked him up. Those of us in the background were cracking up!!!!
Trevor didn't mind though, and look at those teeth!

This is one of Trevor's favorite positions and the way he landed with his pants down above.

Here you can see the smile right through the pacifier. This is when the boys came to Grandma and Grandpa's for the day while Mommy and Daddy went to the temple.

Tristen found a little lego astronaut in all the toys I brought out for him, he was in heaven!!

And then these are from when Nan and I went to their house to watch the boys. Here Tristen is showing us how he likes the mini trampoline.

And Trevor looks so serious.

And I think this is a pic I missed putting up of Chase and Coby during Coby's Birthday party.

Chase's last day at Camp

On the last day they unveiled their paddle. Every year the camp staff paints a paddle and adds it to the cafeteria walls

This shows Chase's area, Aquatics

Rain, Water, Mud-We Even Beat the Flood....really describes summer camp 08

Coby's Birthday

Here he is checking out his new bat, that Nan & Papa got him.

If you have read Coby's blog, you heard about the bell that he got for his motorcycle

His Ice Cream cake

Dad, Chase, Mom, & Coby

Happy Birthday Coby!!!!

As promised, here's a pic of my ice cream cake with the headstone and the buzzard on it. How cute!!
