LOOKING FOR A GREAT BABY GIFT IDEA ?

Look no further. Check out this website for My Tiny Sweet Cheeks. Click on the post below that says my tiny sweet cheeks.

So all of a sudden, I have no background. I need to now where to go to get a good background, my blog looks stupid! I was using cutest blog on the block, but apparently they are no more. HELP!

Life as I know it...

So two weeks ago our ward was split. It was a much needed split because we had too many people to keep track of. The following Sunday I was called into the Bishops office and he asked if I would accept being released from my current calling as a relief society teacher. I was incredibly reluctant to answer his loaded question. Let me back up for a second...

My dad has always teased and asked when I was going to be in the relief society presidency. Any time I called him to tell him I was asked to serve somewhere, he would immediatly go for relief society. I would tell him that he was crazy and not to wish that on me, I was fine doing what I was doing.

Well, sitting in the Bishops office he asked if I would accept a call as the first counsilor in the R.S. presidency over enrichment. As I accepted and told him I would "love" to, I sat thought about my dad. I told the Bishop that anyone who wanted me in a presidency was crazy. When I got home from my interview I wanted so bad to tell him about my new calling. I knew it wouldnt be the same, but to satisfy my need, I called my parents home phone. (As some of you know, we've asked mom not to change the message cuz it's dad's voice) When I heard the beep I proceeded to tell my dad all about it. Dumb, huh?!

So, needless to say my schedule just got shuved into overdrive and life as I knew it no longer exhists. I hope and pray that I can keep it all together. I was overwhelmed with the immediate love and concern that I have for the sisters in my ward, and a desire to help them in anyway I can.

Wish me luck!!

Where to begin...

Since my last post was talking about all the craziness, now I'm going to post pictures. While Jim's dad was visiting I was able to take a 3 generation picture. And the girls got a picture with their cousin Bailey.


These next pictures are from when my sister was here and we went up to m Uncle Kelly's house to play with the horses. The kids chased the chicken, picked and ate fresh raspberries and got to ride Felice.





When all our company went home I left town. I went to Syracuse to scrapbook for a weekend with my friend Kimberli. Once a year (Mother's day weekend) we get together and scrapbook all day and night. Well when my dad passed away in April Kimberli suggested we move the weekend to August. I was so grateful that she didn't expect me to go thru with it and didn't make me have to be the one to postpone it. It's been 4 months and I am still having a hard time scrapbooking pictures with him in them. Kimberli completed 4 beautiful layouts and I was able to get thru 9 mediocur ones.
