Last of Firsts

I am experiencing the "Last of Firsts" or "First of Lasts" this year. It is all starting with Matt's (my baby) "Last" picture of his "First" day of school. It is fun he will be a senior but not so fun for mom that he will be a senior. It will be a year of "Lasts" which makes me sad....but also a "First" for a whole new season of life. For right now....I will enjoy his "First" day of school picture even though it is the "Last" one I take of his school years (college just isn't the same)....his "First" starting varsity football game of the 2010 season even though it is his "Last" year to play....his "First" at being a senior....

OK, I will go get my tissues now!!

Best of Friends since they were born....Sam and Matt....Dang, I love these two!!

Relief??

So awhile ago I posted that something was going to happen....well it did. I was called to be the Relief Society President. Why? I have no stinking idea!! I have been so overwhelmed with the call, work (two jobs), football boosters and just being a wife and mom.

Is my house a mess?? Yes. Do I get my dishes done? No. Do I have to talk A LOT on the phone?Yes. Is everyone happy with this change in our ward? No. Do I have anxiety, ulcers, melt downs, tears and sometimes depression? YES!!

But guess what....through it all I have the BEST HUSBAND, SONS, MOTHER, and FRIENDS to help pull me through. The best person I have is HEAVENLY FATHER. He has truly blessed us since this calling that I could never doubt his blessings or serving him. We now have a permanent job, benefits, another car (no more sharing for Matt and me),  good health AND I have a missionary being protected over in a scary area...What more could I ask for!!

As a friend said to me....If the Lord brings you to it, He will see you through it.

I love a parade

The Northridge football team, cheerleaders, student body officers, band and ROTC all participated in the South Weber Parade. They had a lot of fun with cheers, throwing candy,  water balloons, funny hats (OK, only two had funny hats and that of course would be Matt and Sam) and just plain great memories!! As their banner said...."NHS football U"KNIGHT"ED we stand....and that's what they all were....united as a school!! It was such a fun day.

In his element....

We went to our neighbor DeAnn's cabin for a summer party. They have a one year old horse that they are starting to break and Larry took the opportunity to give a few pointers and thoroughly enjoyed being around horses again....he truly was in his element.

Summer Fun

Matt and 6 other friends went to the Eichmeier's cabin over the 24th of July to celebrate Kaden's birthday. They had a couple of really fun days boating, playing cards, hanging out and just plain having a great time!!
