So far this month

Jenna thought it would be a good idea to sleep in a well-padded shopping cart.

Sydney wanted to dress up like her bear.

We hosted our first "friend sleepover" while the dads were out hiking.

Jenna wanted to sleep in the bed with Sydney & Kam, but I wouldn't allow it.  
Instead she chose the floor...because her own bed was just too far away!

And Bryn got her first black eye.  
This picture was 2 days after she fell off a kitchen chair.  
(Jenna has since learned an important lesson about where not to put Bryn.)
Her eye has become less and less swollen each day, but more and more purple.
It is a sad sight.

College Reunion

I have a vacation to blog about, but I forgot to bring our camera along.  So, while I wait for family to send me pictures, I'll share what we did after vacation...

Sandi, me, Danica, Koreena & Rachel

Last Saturday, I had a reunion with my college neighbors/friends from my freshman year.  Two of my roommates from that year were also invited, but they weren't able to attend.  Have I ever mentioned how incredible my college experience was?  These ladies and the lifelong friendships I formed with them and many others are a huge reason why.

The whole crew.  Of the 5 of us, two married guys that were also in our ward that year.

We had dinner, visited (so good to see everyone in person & hear Rachel's laugh again!) & reminisced.  I had a wonderful time, and am so thankful that Randy sacrificed to let our family attend.  Love you, Randy, & love you ladies!

Band Practice

Introducing:
Jenna on the Electric Guitar
Ashley on the Maracas
Sydney on the Harmonica
Kamrie as Lead Singer & Drummer
Missing:
Brooke--apparently the pressure was too much for her
Carson--something on the TV was much more appealing

Carson returns to the band for a moment. Oh, wait, we lost him again...

Jenna loved Carson's guitar

Sydney, the distressed band leader. Oh, how quickly the band fell apart & she was not too happy.

I'm spent.

What a week I have had!

My brother and his family were here for a few days.
My mom was here for 5 days.
Randy was gone for 3 days, hiking in the Grand Canyon.

I had several crazy busy days of running around & helping at my sister's house...my girls even started begging me to go home on two different days! I've created home-bodies...just like me!

My mom and I made a cute blanket for my cousin. Everyone at the baby shower loved it.

I attended my Ricks College 12th Ward reunion. It's been 10 years since I first moved away from home. This was my ward for the first 2 years of college. It's amazing how welcome & connected I can feel to people I haven't seen in so long. It was so good to see everyone. But I still have so many more of you that I would LOVE to see!

Despite the busyness, church is what is challenging me right now.
Randy & I have a new calling to sit with a CTR5 class during sharing time. We did it today. At one point, I was holding a sleeping Jenna and a sweet, special needs child on my lap. Whew!
I rushed from there to teach Relief Society.
I have some major visiting teaching concerns right now. In fact, visiting teaching has been just plain stressful the whole summer.
I still have my stake calling doing family history, too. 3 callings. Yikes!
When is it too much?
I just hope I can get past this strange/difficult place I'm in.

Because...I hate feeling like this & I have a disaster of a house to clean tomorrow!

One Word

Hodgepodge

Friends

Irony
(This after dishes had piled up for 24 hours...The dishwasher had been empty the whole time.)

Royal Crest #309

Last week with my cousin, Amy, in town, we decided to have a roommate reunion. We had everyone there except Erica & her family. We barbecued, looked over old pictures & had a nice time visiting. It was wonderful!

These girls were my roommates during the Fall 2001 semester at BYU-Idaho...right before I went home and met Randy!

Michelle (w/ Zachary), Keri, Amy, Lara & Jessica

Ally (Amy), Sydney, Melissa (Amy), Lizzie (Michelle), & Jenna
