HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! OLD MAN!!!

Another year older and wiser? Hmmm.... I don't know about that. But another year older sure! We love you!

So, you are now 41. Now, that's OLD! Thanks to all the Blanchard Fam, who made it over to celebrate! The apple pie was great! Mom, you always make it so good. The best part was having everyone there, especially the Huffords, and the Tuckers. Since we don't see you-all very often. It was nice to have a full house!

Ahh Haa!!!

After many hours of blood, sweat, and tears, (on Mark's part) I am finally blogging again. THANK YOU!!!! Oh, by the way, did I say THANK YOU!!!! You are the best!

See Jane (Lara) Blog!!!

I like daisies

Daisies are my favorite. Tulips are lame. Sorry Maren.

NEXT WEEK!!!!!

Guess What?!!!

I bought a digital camera! I know you (especially Maren) are shocked that I finally broke down and did it. I have been talking about it for some time, but with the a little push from Kaira and her amazon.com know how, the impossible has been done. Ta..Da!!!
So, I hate to promise anything spectacular, but I might be updating our blog sometime soon. Due soulie (souly?) to the fact that I will have actual pictures to show you!!!
So, here's to next week.........

It's been awhile

Well, this is for me I suppose. I'm getting older. (I know that's hard to believe.) But, I am. So I've been thinking about making some changes in my life. #1) This year I'm going to tell people what is in my heart more. So, I hope you all can handle it. I'm going to cultivate my friends and family and let them know I care about them. Not just think it, but tell you all. #2) Get to the Temple 2x's a month. I know to some of you that seems like nothing, but for me, it is a real challenge.
#3) Listen, and stop talking. I want my children to know I care about what they have to say, so.... I'm going to make a real effort to LISTEN.
#4) I'm going to love Ty like I used to. Let go of all the craziness and really try to remember why it is that I married that guy. Make time to listen to him and show an interest in him. (Now I know some of you newly married couples think that this is a stupid thing to say, but you just wait until you have kids, a job, church callings, and a dirty house; then you will see that it is easy to get off track.)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
