The new me....

Not quite sure what got in to me when I went to get my hair colored today and I told her I wanted to go a little darker...not sure I meant this dark....might take some getting use to.

Pure Delight

This just plain makes me laugh hysterically!!

Quoting from Jordan's email today..."We got to go down to Vina today to have Elder Mowers foot checked out. We have to go like 2 times a week and after a record breaking chicken and rice for lunch every day for about two weeks...We got permission to go to this restricted area to go to Subway!! I have never tasted anything so good in my life and I just can't wait for the day when I get home and can eat a Jr. bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's!"

This is his first Subway in the 7 months he has been there....and it just makes me smile.

 I miss that boy!!

Do you know how much I love him...

OK...this post is NOT just cause it is Father's Day but because I truly LOVE this man!!

I have been wanting a new camera for a long time. My camera just hasn't been cutting it lately and with it being Matt's senior year and last year of sports I really wanted a good camera. Well, of course this year has not been the best financially for us...but we are getting back slowly....so to my surprise I came downstairs early this morning to get everything ready to go to BYU and Matt's 7 on 7 football tournament and saw a box on the table with a note. At first I thought it was something Matt had done for Larry for Fathers Day....until closer inspection. The note that said, "Happy Fathers Day...We love you!" and right there was a brand new camera!!!

My sweet husband has been saving up his money from his extra job as a supervisor for Layton City Rec. to buy me something I really really wanted during the start of football. What is more is that he gives it to me on "HIS" fathers day weekend. I was so deeply touched and can't even begin to explain how much I love him. Thank you Larry for being the best husband, father and friend in the whole wide world!!

PS...I would have taken a picture of my new camera but I was using it to take Larry's picture. LOL

Pick your battles

So I went to bed one night before Matt came home...and when I woke up in the morning his hair was uuummmmm....blondish/orangish!! A week or so ago he came home with a mohawk and now this!! It is a good thing I love this kid and that he is so good. That morning he got up and went and did a service project with our stake. (Sam and Matt didn't stay long...but the effort to go was there). I guess I would much rather have a blond, mohawk kid doing service than the alternative.

Anyone have some hair dye to dye it back though?!?!

Matt with his friends at Youth Conference.

These two are so weird!! Sam is Matt's best friend and hairdresser....I think Sam needs to find another profession other than hair...and maybe fix his own mohawk too. LOL (Welcome to football season...this happens every year before football camp)

Me...

This is ME...Do I look old? Do I look frazzled? Do I look like I can handle the world? If you look real close I DO look old, frazzled, and feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. I work two jobs and I am the football booster president and I think I should have the look on my face that my sweet niece Emmy has on her face.

Why all this you ask? Well...that is the burning question that I am asking myself and will share with you in a few weeks. Until then....all I can say is hummmmm.....really???

Cali

This is my sweet niece Cali and her darling little girls...the cute boy is mine (LOL). Whenever I have a blog, camera, or picture question, Cali is my go to girl. She is so talented and kind to put up with all my questions. I loved how she helped me so that my pictures will be bigger.

Thanks Cali...I LOVE it!!

Here we go....

It is that time again...the start of football season!! We have had two 7 on 7 tournaments (2 more to go) and have started off well! We won the first tournament and took 2nd (out of 32 teams) in the big Weber State tournament. What a fun way to start the season off....now for football camps, more tournaments, fundraisers, 2 a day practices...let the fun begin!!
