Life is a Beach

On Saturday, we went up to Bear Lake. A bunch of people from Jeremy's work all met up there and we had a fantastic time. I wasn't sure if we were going to get to go, Amelia had been sick all night, but she was doing MUCH better, so we headed up. Boy are we glad we did! :) Check out the photos!

To see more pictures of our fun weekend, head on over to my flickr site!

Open for Business!

I have decided to open an Etsy shop to sell my handmade goods! So, to see what I have to offer right now, click on the link to the left. Let me know what you think too! :)

Just some pictures

Ok and a story! Yesterday we had the Missionaries for our Church over for dinner. Seth was very curious why we would be having these people over to eat. I told him that they were boys that lived far away from their Mom's and it was nice to feed them. So, he was really excited for them to come over. He had some smarties that he really wanted to share with them and went with Jeremy to pick them up. Well, when they got home, he was very red eyed and so sad. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I don't want them, I want the little missionaries!" Apparently he thought that the missionaries were kids his same age! Poor baby. But by the time they left, he was liking them and ready to share his candy :)

Here are some pictures from this month....



















































































This is Amelia's newest silly face. We call it her scared face. It cracks us up every time!

















Yummy pasta with white beans, fresh tomatoes and basil and Parmesan cheese. YUM!

















And for dessert...fresh strawberries with real whipped cream and chocolate mint (from our herb garden) on top. Delicious!

















Yum! Cherries!






























Check out the size of my zucchini plants!





















This is my henna tattoo. Don't worry Dad, it's not permanent! Notice the ladybugs??? They all have 8 spots, for my girl who lived 8 months and 8 days.



























































And one more. This is the background on my desktop. This picture was taken almost exactly 4 years ago...man I miss that girl.

Help me!!

I am in charge of putting together a Service Auction for Enrichment at church. I am making up a list of service that people can do to "earn" points. The more points you earn, the more things you can bid on at the service auction.
We did this in another Ward right before Emma died. In fact, I couldn't make good on what I donated, or pick up what I won, because of her death. Anyway, I don't have the list anymore, and it was a big one. So...help!!!!!!!!!

Living

Ok, I know, I know, it's been a while since I've blogged. We've been...living. My folks are here visiting, so we are just having a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of what we've been up to this summer. There will be many more pictures to come, so stay tuned!






































































































































































































































































Ok, a few more things. I am SO excited about this book! I read the author's blog daily, I love it! She really is so inspiring. So, go order your copy now!!! I know I will.

And, on a more serious note. Please send out your thoughts and prayers to the little town of Coffeyville, Kansas. This is where I grew up. There has been some serious flooding and an oil spill in this town. Our house flooded twice when we lived there, it is just so horrible. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have lost all they have and have no place to live.
