Off to Alaska I go!

Well, Jordan and I leave tomorrow for our trip to Alaska. Sarah is staying with Nana and Bompa in Logan and Anna is holding down the fort at home, literally. She's covering for me at work (just answering the phones) while I am out since the other admin has a sales meeting in Michigan she can't miss. It was bound to happen one day, both admin's out and no one to answer the calls. Well, thanks Anna!

Jordan and I are really looking forward to this trip! Fishing, whale watching, jeeping, and who knows what else may come our way! You have a great Memorial Weekend too!

My Little Sis Roo

Well, here's a picture of my little sister Becca at her USU graduation a couple of weeks ago. Isn't she the cutest grad?! Congrats again Becca on a job well done! Did I mention she graduated with all Honors too? She's a smart cookie, this one.

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! I did!! The weekend started off with the Boys and Girls Dinner and Auction. I volunteer every year, except last since Sarah was too little to leave for nearly an entire day. I help out at the finance table and love it! Most of the people who work at that table have been doing so for years and we all get along really well. Anyway, I love going and seeing everyone in the tuxedos and evening gowns. It also gives me a chance to dress up too and I can never escape the chance to dress up!! It also gives me the change to meet celebrities. This year I met Tony Mahi from the Philadelphia Eagles football team. He is on the board, meaning he donates a lot of money each year, and is probably the youngest board member. Anyway, his football ring is gigantic! It was neat meeting him, I spoke to him for about 20 minutes or so before he left for the evening. Anna was with me and she enjoyed our conversation as well...this is what he had to say:

He was standing on the elevator with two other men and one of them turned to him and introduced himself. He then proceeded to introduce the other man standing next to him and explained it was his partner.

Tony then asked: "So what do you do?"

The two men laughed and said, "Oh, that's a good joke!"

Tony then realized they were gay! He was so embarrassed that the rest of the night he stayed away from them. So, that's what led him to speak to me while he waited for the two partners to leave for the evening so he wouldn't get stuck in the elevator with them again. Poor guy! I probably would've said the same thing...maybe.

Jordan couldn't help out this year since he had work, but Anna joined me and Lynette (my mother-in-law) who works for the Club. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I look forward to this function every year. I'd like to think that if I had money I'd be willing to share it with great programs like the Boys and Girls Club.

On Sunday we travelled to Logan and spent the day with my family. It was great fun and the best gift Jordan could ever give me. Well...we are headed to Alaska in 2 weeks!! No complaints here :o)

I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend just like I did.

USU Graduation

Well, it's official. My little sister has graduated from USU with a BA in Psychology! Go Roo!! I am so happy for my little sister and wish her all the best! Adam, her hubbie, graduates in the fall. So, before we even realize it, we'll have two Psychologist's in the family! Now we'll really be tested and diagnosed...

Baby Animals

On Saturday, after Sarah's swim lessons, Anna and I went to Jordan's work for their big community event. They had a tent full of baby animals and I couldn't resist snapping some cute pictures. Sarah loves animals, so this was really neat for her.

She loved, repeat, loved the goats! She also liked the little piglets. She didn't dare touch them though, but that is okay. We all know pigs aren't the cleanest of animals.

Sarah also wanted to touch the big horns on the papa goat. Well, I wasn't sure if he was in a happy mood, so we sort of stayed away from him. But, he was pretty big, as you can see!

It was a fun weekend!

Eye Appointment

Well, I had to see the optmologist yesterday...the verdict: I have to wear glasses all the time now. Apparently staring at a computer screen for 8+ hours a day isn't too healthy for my eyes. Not to mention all the time I spend reading and writing as well. All well, I suppose it was destined to be. Maybe now my headaches will go away :o)

But, one good thing happened at my appointment...who'd you guess came walking through the doors as casual as casual could be?! Pres. Thomas S. Monson that's who!! Everyone knew him there and greeted him just as nicely as they had greeted me!

Apparently my eye doctor gives free service to all the General Authorities, so they come to him for service. Not to mention, my eye doctor is one of the best in the state of Utah. Pres. Monson broke his glasses and they needed to be fixed, so right on the spot, they fixed them. I was mustering up the courage to speak to him when I was called back for my eye exam, so I never got to introduce myself to him. But, all I could think of was, "The prophet is three feet away from me!!" It was neat, although I never introduced myself to him. He's pretty tall too, just like Jordan.

Well, that's about all the current news I have. Have a blessed weekend everyone!!

Easter *Belated Update*

Well, it took me over a week, but I charged my camera and now have pictures to show everyone. We spent Easter in Logan, as tradition has it, with Nana, Bumpa, Auntie Roo, Uncle Adam, Auntie Liz, Aiden, Abby, and of course me and Jordan. Jordan came a day later, so he missed out on a some fun Easter Egg hunts! All well, I enjoyed the candy :o)

Here are some adorable pics of my little angel. This one is of Sarah finding her Easter Basket. She was so cute! Daisy helped her find her basket. She helped Jordan as well, but at first he got mad at Daisy for jumping up on the sofa and sniffing behind it. Low and behold, that's where the Easter Bunny hid his basket. Tsk, Tsk, always trust a hungry dog's nose!

On Easter Sunday, we always have waffles, or so has become tradition over the last 6 or so years. Sarah loves Bumpa's Belgian waffles with fruit!!
Sarah and me together on Easter Morning. I admit, I don't look the best in the mornings, but I suppose there has to be a few blackmail pics floating around of me. So, here is one :o)

This is a picture of my sister's dog, Chubbs. He is a boxer, full bred and very crazy! But, Daisy wouldn't hold still long enough for a funny picture and Chubbs did. So, here is Easter Bunny Chubbers! Abby also tried on the glasses as did Sarah.


Cute, huh!!


Well, Sarah began her swimming lessons on Saturday. Splitting some pool time with Auntie Anna, Sarah enjoyed her first lesson in the water! What a little swimmer!!


On Sunday, since the weather was so nice, we decided to go and feed the ducks at my work. Sarah, naturally, called the ducks, 'doggies', but hey, she's only 20 months old! I can't blame her!!
So, despite all the time I spend writing, I do spend time with my little girl! Who couldn't, she's the light of my life!!! Loves you always buggie!
