Where to begin...

It has been such a long time I don't even know where to start. I think I will just put up a bunch of pictures and you can see what we have been up to. I didn't think things could get more busy... but they have. This summer has gone by so fast I think I just might break down in tears.
Here we go...

These first pictures are of Dallin from prom. His date is Hilary. I loved all the different colors of the dresses. They had a good time.

Aargggg can't get the pics to load. This piece of junk computer just might find itself thrown out in the road. Feel free to hit it as you drive by.
brb

I give up.



Ok, so I finally came back and got it to work. Sheesh this is frustrating sometimes. Never know if or when it is going to work.
Anyway there is Dallin before prom.

Ok I am giving up again... it is taking 5-10 min to upload a pic and then just tells me it didn't work. I will try later. Hopefully not another 4 months.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I just had to post this link to a new video based on his talk from conference. I loved it.

Computer Geek Night

About twice a year Steve hosts or goes to a computer geek night. A bunch of friends gather up their computers and get together to network them up and play games half the night. It sounds a bit odd but it is pretty funny to see them all. It takes more time to set them all up and get them running then to play it seems. I am just a spectator. On friday we had 16 computers running I believe. The record was maybe 8 years back with around 26 computers. That was crazy. I will have to let you know how the electic bill works out for this month. Anyway here are some pics of the event in our basement.

Lessons from Gracie

I have been following a blog about a baby born with a heart defect for about 11 months now. She had surgery and eventually a heart transplant. The transplanted heart didn't work right and she came out of surgery on life support. Yesterday they took little Gracie off life support. I don't know this little baby or her family. Yet throughout the day, as I have gone about my business, I have thought of her often and thought of her family and what their day is like today. After my brother passed away I remember wondering why people didn't stop their activities for just a moment to think about the great loss that had just occurred. That when you are hurting that much surely the whole world should be able to feel that pain as well. I am sure they felt that way about Gracie. But because of Gracie I won't freak out because the house was a mess when I got home tonight. Because of Gracie I will get on my knees and thank my Heavenly Father for my family, intact and healthy, and because of Gracie I will hug my kids a little tighter as they go to bed tonight.

(Thank you Gracie for reminding me whats important.)

"Star Gazing"

Me, my sister Kristy and 3 Friends went to Park City to do a little Star Gazing. We had so much fun. My job was to take pictures. Since I don't watch TV, many movies or read about the "Stars", oh and don't forget that I am blind, I didn't know who I was taking pictures of. I just took the pictures and then asked my friends "Who is it?" Below are some of the pictures. We then went and ate Middle Eastern food, which I was a bit nervous about, but it ended up being good. Then we went and saw "Bride Wars". The movie was ok. Sorry if you really liked it. I am just really critical when it comes to movies. It was a great day we had a lot of fun just acting all dorky and making friends with the other dorks, like us, up there.


This is Mo'Nique, she is a comedian. I thought she was Queen Latifah. I think I blinded her when she turned around. She was very nice to everyone.

This is Samatha Brown? Yeah, I didn't know either. I guess she is from the Travel Channel.


This is the singer from "Counting Crows" You can just see his "Locs" in my pic since I didn't know who he was until he was past me. I have included a pic from the internet also. I didn't take that one.


I wasn't going to include this one cuz this is Chet from "Real World". I have no idea who he is and frankly he was a bit creepy. but the fact that my sister snuck into this picture with these strangers without them knowing was quite funny. As we left she yelled out "We love you Chet". It was very funny.
This is Hulk Hogan's Ex wife and her boy toy. I really don't know how my friends knew all these people. I guess it has been quite the drama.


Last but not least...This is Ashley Judd. She was so nice and would stop whenever anyone asked for a picture. Once again I didn't know who it was everyone was taking pictures of. So me and my friend, Pam, just ran across the street and I started taking pictures. I asked Pam, "Who is it?" and she said, "I know but I can't remember her name... umm It is umm..." and I said "They are calling her Ashley". and that is when Pam remembered.
I guess we missed Tim Daly, Uma Thurman, Jody Foster, Tom Arnold(he was running from people), Ashton Kutcher early in the day.
It was fun.
Here are pictures of us.

Catch-up

It is about time I did some catching up. We had a great Christmas. It was full of family. Both Steve's and my parents are divorced and remarried so we had 4 sets of Grandparents to party with. It is always crazy but it is always fun as well.

Tyler got a new snowboard and Dallin and Devyn got new Ipods.

Anyway here are some Christmas pics.

Christmas is a bit chaotic at our Christmas parties. I kinda like it that way.
