It's about time

It's all about time, isn't it? I bragged that I posted within a week and then I didn't post again until now! Oh well, you do what you can. I love the colder weather but I could do with out the bleak winter storms. I was so depressed Sunday night because it was so dark and cold. I like sunny cold weather. Oh well, it will start getting lighter soon . . .

It is so fun to teach my son computers in school. Last year I worked at another school father away and I love being closer to home now. I got school pictures taken of all my kids, even the two not in school yet. They turned out so cute.

Well, that's all for now, but at least it's a post.

Here I am Again

Look at me! It hasn't even been a week yet!

I went "to town" this Saturday and spent the day with my parents while Lynn worked some overtime. This strikes me as funny because I haven't left Eagle Mountain in a week, yet I've gone to work every day! I LOVE MY COMMUTE! It is so awesome.

WHen I was little going "to town" meant going to downtown SLC to pay bills with my mom. I loved those days. They were special because I got to go while my brothers and sisters were in school. Then I started school and I got to go in the summer. I'm sure paying bills wasn't the funnest thing for my mom to do but as we went she reminenced how she used to go to town with her mom. Now I go to town with my kids. In my case, go to town means leaving Eagle Mountain. I'm glad I live here. It is a great place to be. Enough rambling!

If you've known me for over 5 years, you might recall that my neice, JaCee was killed in an automobile accident on State Road 73 after leaving my house. I miss her and often think of her but I think her mom said it best in her Baked Cookies Blog (link to the right). Also her favorite Aunt Shannon gave her a great tribute in Shumans in the News, (also to the right). I wish I could say I was her favorite Aunt but I cannot. I wonder if she have lived closer if I would have been. All I can say is that I love her very much and I know she lives with our Father in Heaven. If you go the blogs, get out the tissues, she has a way of touching everyone, even now.

Love My Job

Just a quick update. I hardly ever get on my home computer anymore! I'm on computers all day at school so I guess I'm reluctant to get on at home. Besides that my downstairs is messy and everytime I'm down here I feel like I should clean rather than Blog. Obviously I'm working on getting over it! :)

Anyway, we just got fabulous imacs at school. My only problem is learning to mangage 40 of them at one time! I love the kids and it is so fun being at my sons school. I have been really blessed!

Allison is getting bigger - 7 months old now. Eating "big" food as big as mashed sweet potatoes can be. She is the easiest baby - She is just always smiling! I'll post pictures soon (hopefully)

Beautiful Bride and Groom

My Brother and his wife and my family.

A wedding!

My youngest brother got married today. The last one of the bunch to "take the plunge." He looked so handsome today and I was so proud. I was able to feel his happiness. I really don't think I've ever seen him that happy - even when he was a kid in a candy store. It was at Thanksgiving Point and although it was a bit rainy, it was clear for the ceremony.

I am so proud of you Tim and Mary. Hope you have a long and happy marriage.
Love your big sister.

Getting Bigger

My baby girl is getting so big. She's eating rice now. Big sister watches at first then trys her hand at helping. Sometimes I feel bad for the baby with all the "help" she gets. But big sister's heart is in the right place.

Grrr...

I'm trying to update my blog. I've had some technical difficulty and a little girl that wants to sit on my lap. I don't mind the little girl so much but I can't access the keys well enough the fix the computer so I guess it will just have to wait.

At any rate, I've been taking some medication and I've gained so much weight (I weigh 200 lbs). I can't really blame it all on the medication but my goodness. I was 200 lbs nine months pregnant 6 months ago. Therefore, now that everyone knows how much I weight I have the pressure to try and take it off. Hopefully you all will be my inspiration. So, see you later, I'm heading to the gym.
