Why we'll never leave Iraq

I needed a good laugh today, so I rewatched the video of Iraqi soldiers Jake posted a while back. I got the laugh I needed! So pathetic and disturbing...

Great Book - I reccomend it....

I just finished The Book Thief and loved it from the first page. It was reccommended to me by my LON friends. Nazi Germany, about a 9 year old girl, as told by the narrator who is 'death'. Has won many book awards, anyone who wants to borrow it, let me know! Mom/Carolyn

We returned from a great vacation to San Diego on Sunday!  One of the highlights was that Amelia was chosen to meet Shamu, to pet him and feed him--lucky dog!  Caroline also got to help with the seal show and was privileged to shake a seal's flipper!!

Jackson's Blessing

Thank you everyone for coming to Jack's blessing on Sunday! John gave him such a beautiful blessing...It was a wonderful day for us. Isn't Jackson a 'mini-me' of John???

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday Dad! I am sure I speak for all my siblings when I say that I feel truly blessed to have you as my dad. I love you very much. Hope you have a wonderful day!

(I thought this picture was so perfect - when you think of Dad, don't you think of what a cute "Papa" he is to his grandkids?!)

Fantastic!

Isn't this picture marvelous? This one is supberb as well...

There is a slight resemblance to Jakes "hook" in that top picture. And, I say next time we go to Disneyland, none of this T-Shirt nonsense, we should go in matching Outfits!!

Girls Only...check out this site!

You all love "Pipers' in Sugarhouse, or you will when you visit just once! They have a great blog now, as well as their web site. Look at www.pipersgirls.com for some inspiration, and links to other fun creative blogs. I love their taste, their selection of fabrics and yarn, and everything about the place. There is a new class schedule available, if anyone wants to take an evening class with me let me know. I think I want to make the shoes....
Have fun looking...Mom
