Another armpit shot.

Harrison.

This is mostly for Isaac's parents.  Here's some pics of us and Isaac in, what Libby loves to calls, "The Mountains."  At Centennial Park, and funny story about this, we just happened to go to Centennial Park and there was a, lack of a better word, white trash wedding.  I felt like a wedding crasher, but we played and looked at the water.  Isaac scaled the bridge and then Libby tried to.  Nice teaching Isaac.  Anyway there you go.

Life.

This will be a serious post and may not make much sense, but life is so full of ups and downs and I'm on a serious down.  I just wish that things would go MY way, but alas I am sad to announce that it doesn't.  Way too many times I sit and have to review my life and wonder why soo many people sit and waste time on things that don't matter.  computers, youtube (entertaining yes), facebook, people who aren't meaningful or don't fill or your life with good things, wishy washy people about the gospel are just some starters for me right now.  Like I said this makes no sense and I wish I had the courage to post what I really do feel.

NBA Finals.

So Nate and I are rooting for the Dallas Mavs and the "son" who's staying with us is going for the Heat.  Now this makes for some awesome in your face moments and name calling and other such things in a heated combat.  Not very grown up of me, but I don't care.  IN YOUR FACE!

He's been awesome to have!!

Just some recent pics.

Libby @ Hogle Zoo.

Bence and Kati Bateman.

I haven't posted pics of my kids lately so here's what they and us look like today.

Rain, Rain GO AWAY!!

We went to Utah to take Libby to the Hogle Zoo and visit one of Nate's mission companions.  Had an awesome time and it was in the upper 70's or near 80's.  What a good time we had, thanks Gus and Katie!!  Then we come home and have 1 good day and then phhht.  Wet, cold, rainy, dismal, wet, stormy, dismal, wet days come our way.  On top of that I was given the call of Young Women's president.  On Saturday!!!!OOOOOHHHHH my.  It got stressful and then it got crazy and then it got weird and back to stressful again.  It's better now having had a presidency meeting and all that but I'm still in shock and a little nervous to meet the girls and go to camp in 4 weeks.  Oh well ganbate ne.  Or in English balls to the walls.

I wish I had...

A garden.  You know a place, a big a spacious part of your yard to go out and dig in the dirt like you did as a kid, but knowing in a matter of days that there would be something growing there.  Something that you toiled over and worried about and wanted so desperately to grow.  Oh well for now we'll have to use someone else's place.

Faranna Hibbert is the nicest lady to let us garden in her's, but I wish I had my own place to go out and cut a freshly grown lettuce head or even some tomatoes that just turned red and is ready to pick.  I have a few planter boxes but our house doesn't get any consistent sun that helps the plants.  So what to do?  Wait for someone to come up to our house and offer us an unreasonably insane amount of money for this place.  Until then I'll make it nice and try and grow some stuff in the back-yard.

So I told you about Isaac, well it's official.  He's apart of our family.  This morning we're eating breakfast at the table and Libby has a book that used to be mine to jot notes in, but now she just draws in it.  She turns to the page that I had "skillfully" drawn our family.  She said, "mom where's Isaac?"   Me, "right there." gesturing to across the table.  "No mom where in the picture?"  So yes, I had to draw Isaac into our family in her book.  Like I said it is a complete likeness of him but we are so glad to have him here and Libby adores him.  She asks all the time, "where's Isaac?"  "He's at dance class."  "Oh, when is he coming back?" 

It's gonna be hard to have hime go.

Isaac

I used to teach Isaac dance about 2 years ago.  Last year when my mom retired he decided to dance for Brindusa Moore Dance Academy and while his parents are in northern Idaho doing a Pharmacy rotation he is doing a 3 week intensive ballet camp and staying with us.  He's been awesome and so responsible. 

Good luck on your first day!!!
