What's been going on around here?

No, it's not popcorn popping on the Apricot tree!

The Family Tree project in the little room is coming along. I have the tree painted here. Looking at it now it looks like I need to make the middle branch a little thicker.

I've painted on the green leaves outline. It looks like cauliflower or broccoli. I will be sponging in the green some time this week.

For the 4th of July I made a firework bracelet that I wore to church. I can also wear it on Fridays to work, for spirit day. Our school colors are red,white and blue.

We drove to St. George to deliver Sis. Mancilla's extra baggage that would not fit into her suitcase for her flight home from her mission. on the way back we stayed in Veges. The only thing I like about Veges is the Dancing waters. If it was cooler outside I think I would have loved to plant myself down in one location and just people watched, and make up stories about them. Any way we stayed at the Balies(sp) hotel. In the room was one of these 5 above. Does anyone really know what it is used for and how to use one? And if its for men only why don't they use them?

We traveled the Dam road, which took forever, but we got to say Dam a lot when we were talking so now we don't need to say it any time soon. So that is what's been going on around here. We are now getting ready to drive to Vail Colorado in a 16 passenger van with the Kids and grand kids. We did this last year when we drove to Park City. It was a lot of fun being with the family and playing car games and getting to know each other better.

Happy Birthday Nathan

Today is Nate's 25th birthday. I told him yesterday that he'll be half of me. After having two girls I was excited to have a boy. I prayed that he would be a strong yet gentle and loving boy, and he is. He always tried to do whats right and when he was corrected he obeyed. He is a good example to his brother who is 5 years younger and would follow Nate around a lot. Nate is a great Dad and a wonderful husband. I couldn't have asked for more. He is the sweet boy who has become a great man. Happy Birthday Nate!
