General Conference

We had the opportunity to attend Saturday morning General Conference this October.

 ETERNITY!!!

I get to spend eternity with this man!!

Kevin and Lisa (Doran's sister) were able to come up from Arizona with Jeremy and Alissa. (Nathan is serving a mission in Illinois Chicago West Mission.)

When we found out we had the same day and time tickets we decided to meet up and have lunch. 

Then they came home with us for the rest of the weekend.

I also got to meet some of Jenny's family.

(Yonder, is getting married soon and BYU-I just started school in Idaho)

I just met (IN PERSON!!!) Jenny a few weeks prior to General Conference.

She stopped by on her way back from taking BYU-I to school!

She will never know how much that meant to me.

The other yeahwho's are Gwynne (she was serving her mission in our area and finished her mission the first part of September and is now attending BYU-I as well. She is down for a visit.) April is in our ward and a very dear friend.

What a grand conference!

Sunday Nap

Chelsea writes on her Face Book:

This little boy waited for hours to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house today.

Then this is what he does when he gets there.

Grandpa set up the car track for Brayson and set down for a minute after his Sunday meetings.

Grandpa fell asleep and then Brayson climbed up on his lab and did like wise.

They are so dang cute!

Jardine Juniper

Oh my gosh! Our life is just slipping by so fast and I don't have any thing written down.

Every time I get in my car I am constantly thinking of things that I need to write down or blog about and yet when I get to a computer I don't do it.

This is my only "journal" and Daddy doesn't write in his.

Our posterity will be so disappointed.

Last weekend Daddy and went on  HIKE UP (5.2 miles) to Jardine Juniper in Logan Canyon.

We then RAN DOWN.

It took us two hours to hike up

and one hour to run down.

We both darn near turfed it once or twice.

I'm pretty sure I will lose at least one toenail.

Daddy was a stud. 

We over packed, like we always do, but then again maybe not.

Years ago we went on this for the first time not knowing what to expect,

and the only thing we had with us was a partially full Mt. Dew.

Our plan was to just go a little ways.

Every time we saw someone they would say,

"Oh you're almost there. Keep going."

Not a smart idea.

By the time we got up there we had no water, it was hot and we still had to come down.

There was a couple there that was enjoying a green apple.

I wanted Daddy to give them $10 for an apple. But we just headed back.

From then on we are always prepared and more so, in case we need to share with others.

We had a wonderful day together!

And totally enjoyed the two hour nap when we got home.

I love this guy and the many things we enjoy doing together.

I have more pictures and video on our new GoPro but I thought I better get this posted rather than wait until I got that loaded.

I can't wait for our next adventure!!

I just can't figure out why I can't lose weight....

You CAN teach an old dog new tricks

On June 25 we I bought a new piano. Well it isn't new but it is new to our house.
Gloria Jensen, my mom's neighbor, was moving and she was selling a lot of her things.
She let me buy her piano if I would invite her to my first recital. Pah....not going to BE a public recital.

So we got it moved in with only one ding, which breaks my heart, and I started lessons.

We shall see where this takes me.

Skunked by a 5 year old

Ellie came over to play on June 23.

I taught her how to play

"SORRY"

She skunked me more than once.

I am a wonderful teacher.

Nuff said.

Girl's Night Out

June 22 I finally participated in a Girl's Night Out.

April and I went over to Chelsea's and watched.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I can't tell you if it was an uninterrupted movie because of course it was 

SO

LONG

AGO

I can hardly remember the date.

I sure do miss my blogging. 

As you can tell from previous posts....life just gets in the way of my plans

and I fail to follow through with much.

Now I should go see if I can find me a piece of Cek...boont cek.
