I just have to share the picture I stole from Shannon's website - its so nice.

This picture was taken on Sunday, July 20, 2008 at the blessing of Madison and Blake White. All that were in attendance are in this picture.

Congratulations to Corri & Frank

I completely forgot to mention the fact that Corri and Frank married on Friday, July 25, 2008. Congrats to them!

Weekend/Public Transportation

I had a good weekend - it started with a migraine which eventually faded. Wayne and I spent the evening at Mum & Dad's with Blake and Madison - oh I can't get enough of them. We heard a few great White traditional stories about flatulence and Guy being a POPO. I had mentioned to Mum how I wanted her to crochet me some dish rags and she handed me some partial crocheting that she said to finish. Well, I had been taught how to crochet several times, did it for a few minutes and gave it up. I took it that she was busy with her baby blankets, which she can do with her eyes closed and could probably do with her toes!! I undid the crocheting a little to see how the stiches went and I have not put the stuff down yet. I have made 5 dish rags already and anticipate I'll be the person I used to get annoyed with when I was a kid. I always was frustrated having to vaccum around Mum's knitting/crocheting. It was always on the floor, on the couch, that was fun, finding a knitting needle wedged in the couch when you sat on it.
On Saturday I got some rest and then went to lunch with the departing White Family at Golden Corral. Afton has been staying with Alyssa since the family BBQ on Thursday night. We have had quite the quiet household with the boys still being in Montana. They are doing well, Michael has finished his soccer camp and enjoyed it. They both start swimming lessons this week in Hamilton, Montana, which is where Carl & Glenda, Wayne’s parents live. Their lessons run for two weeks and they will come back next week.
I don’t expect this week to be very exciting - it is always hard coming back to work after a short work week.
Last night I did one of my favorite things - I layed on my hammock and watched a thunder storm rolling in across the mountains.
The kids and I planted a small garden in the spring which is coming into fruition. We have some tall corn growing, tomatoes that will fill buckets when red and some onions. The peas, beans and carrots whimpered out as I was still recovering from my ‘stroke’ after they were planted and didn’t get enough TLC. Oh well, next year.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION - I rode the bus into work this morning and it was full -- as usual, with gas prices rising, it is the best way to get from Provo/Lehi to Salt Lake. Why do people freak out about touching other people? I mean really, the guy I was sitting directly beside must have been preparing his confession to his wife about how he feels bad about rubbing the leg of a woman on the bus. Crikey! If you are that phobic - don't ride the freek'n bus! He pulled his leg away more than my 4-yr-old pulls away from hugs! I'd understand if he were cute, or I'd like it if he were cute - WAIT . . anyhow, get over yourself people!

Pioneer Day

The day started off with some quiet time at home - did a little shopping then went to the big family BBQ. It was great! Everyone, that is still close, came by for some steak, hot dogs, lamb chops and Aussie snags. I am a little dissapointed that I am having to work today though! I do get a free lunch! But still -- Yuck. When I get some pictures in I will save them. Have a great weekend!

Fantastic weekend

Wow, I cannot believe how great my weekend was. It started by getting my hair cut and styled - which every woman loves. I then ventured out with my girlfriends from work and their babies/toddlers (their own or borrowed) and went to the Living Planet Acquariam in Sandy. How fun - although I was a little freaked out by the stingrays! http://www.thelivingplanet.com/ Here's one for you Steve-O! Can't believe one of those killed you - poor bloke. Wayne took Michael and Brendan to Idaho Falls where he was met by his Mom to take them to Montana for Soccer camps and swimming lessons. Afton is staying home this trip because she wants to be there for babysitting the twins this week and for her very first Young Women's Girls Camp the first week of August. The boys will be back on the 9th. Afton and I then headed to McDonald's for lunch with Kelly, Travis, Walker, and their borrowed nieces. Afton and I then headed to home with a few stops by Ikea and Ross - both unexpected spending trips - thanks to Affie's pleadings. I went home for a nap and Afton manned the phone. By 7:00 she had had enough of my sleeping so she woke me for dinner at Arbys - man she loves that place. Wayne stopped by his mate's place - Cole (mission companion) - in Logan for a visit and was home late.
Sunday was a busy day - Up early for the baby blessings in Spanish Fork and then over to Jamie's for a quick bite and home for a nap then to Mum and Dad's talks in yet another sacrament meeting. We then headed over to Mum's for a bite of Lasagna, to play with the babies and to clear out her living room for the arrival of her new wood floor today/tomorrow.
