Great Sunday























I'm posting lots of pictures for the grandmas.
We had a wonderful day today with Scott home all day. We haven't been able to just hang out all day without work, church, chores or school mixed in for a long time. I am glad that the tax deadline is quickly approaching so we can have Scott around more often.
After completely enjoying Conference we headed to the college to let the kids roller blade and run around. We had a great time - lots of laughing and giggling. I love the picture of the boys kissing little Lili - you can see her little piggy tail in the picture. The little girls laughed so hard at each other while swinging, Scott enjoyed being pulled around in the wagon, and I drove all of them nuts because I took so many pictures - all I wanted was one good picture of them all looking at the camera... guess there are too many of us... good luck Tavis and Leslie (can't wait for you to do our pictures... maybe next weekend when you are here)
I have spent lots of time trying to get tickets this weekend to this year's Stadium of Fire in Provo but have been unsuccessful. I keep checking ebay but am not willing to pay what they are going for... Miley Cyrus, the Blue Man Group and Glenn Beck will be the entertainment - we love, love Glenn Beck and the kids of course love Miley and I've always wanted to watch the Blue Man Group but oh, well.
Friday, I was doing laundry and lost my breath, looked at my watch and noticed it was around 2... It is bizarre how sadness hits me each week at the time Ryan died without me even trying. It was 3 months on Friday, April 4th, and 14 weeks. I keep wondering when I'll stop counting but don't know if I ever will. I miss him so much and am so glad to know that he is living with peace now (but, unfortunately, it does not take away the sadness and emptiness). Love you so much, Ryan. Peace xoxo

  1. The picture of Melanie pulling me in the wagon was staged. !! It only lasted a couple of feet, I wish it was longer it was kind of comfy.

  4. What a great day! I love conference Sunday--not just for conference--but the relaxation of not having to go anywhere!

  5. How Fun!!
    We used to go to CSI on Sunday afternoons to ride bikes and just enjoy the day. That is one thing we really miss about Twin Falls.
    What a cute family!! Those are the MOMENTS Elder Ballard was talking about. So simple yet so memorable.

  8. Such fun pictures. Thanks for sharing!! Looks like you had a great day together. Those days are precious! Glad you're getting pictures taken. We need one of Lili and Meili for our big frame. 5x7s work best. The family one we have has Meili as a baby, so it is a mite out of date too.
