Our Little Bundle of Joy

At times when I look at Kate I see Sara, and other times all I can see is Keith. I think she has the best of both of them.

Well, the other day when I was tending Kate, I got out a picture of Keith when he was 4 months old, and held it up to Kate. I couldn't believe the resemblance. She has Sara's dark hair, her eyes are not as dark brown as Keith's, but oh how she reminded me of Keith. I would love to see a picture of Sara as a baby.

Kate is such a joy. She is truly a blessing to our family. I love being a grandma.

FUN! FUN! FUN!

Friday night I went to a "Favorite Things" Party. We all brought 3 of one of our favorite things, and made our favorite snack to share. We had a fun time talking and eating our favorite snack. Then we put our names in a bowl three times. We shared why the thing we brought was our favorite, and then drew 3 names out of the bowl, and gave them what we brought. We all came home with 3 new favorite things.

Thanks Tiffany and Lesley for a fun "Favorite Things" Party. I had a great time getting to know all of you better. I found I have so much in common with these ladies. The snacks were salty and sweet. All of my favorite!! We laughed and laughed. It was so much fun. These are the 3 that I brought home. Thanks Ladies!!

Purse - S'mores - Lip gloss from Bath & Body

Arizona Sun!!

Brothers and sister back together again.

Josh and Jared just returned from a long day of golf. They were hot and needed to cool down. The pool had not been heated yet so when they dove in they got a little more cool than they were planning.

We went and had a pedicure. Cute yeah? It was so relaxing.

Jakelle - What a cutie!!

Sister's

Jana has an orange tree and a Lemon tree. They smelt so sweet.

Carol and I had a great trip to Mesa Arizona, this last Thursday, to see Jana, and to be there for Joshua's home coming. The weather was just perfect. Not too hot and not the cold we left her in Utah. The orange blossoms were in bloom and everytime you step outside it's smells like you have stepped into a flower shop. I wished I could have bottled it and brought it home. The sun felt so good I didn't want to come home.

Joshua gave an awesome talk. You could see the wheels turning in his head translating everything from Spanish to English as he spoke. He has grown so much. The experiences he told were very touching, and the spirit was so strong. I'm sure he was an amazing missionary.

It was good to hear his laugh again, to see him bopping around the house teasing his mother and making her laugh.

Jana, Carol and I were able to spend some time together. We had some long talks, and Friday, went to lunch and to see a movie. We saw the movie "Taken". It was very intense, but good. I felt like I had run five miles when it was over. We got a pedicure, and felt so pampered.
Saturday, the Westergard family all came over for a big BBQ for Josh. Lynn BBQ-ed ribs and chicken that were very tasty.

I love going to my sister's. She is a wonderful hostess and there is always a good feeling in her home. It was fun to have Carol with me this time. Thanks Carol for going with me, and thanks Westergard's for always going out of your way to make me feel so welcome.

I'm A Team Player

I saw this on Lesley's blog and decided, I would play along. Here's how it works. The first five wonderful people who respond to this post (leave a comment) will get something made by me! My choice, for you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make (I hope you will).

2. What I create will be just for you.

3. It will be done this year (2009).

4. You have no clue what it's going to be (it will depend on who you are).

The catch is (there's always a catch) that you must re post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. The first 5 people to leave a comment on my blog, and then post these instructions on their blog, and then leave me a comment telling me that they did so (are you confused yet?), will receive a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift from me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!!!
