Big Surprise at our house.

No we are not pregnant........

Paige and Mackenzie showed up at my back door and surprised me.  They came back with Grandpa and Grandma Shirley and Uncle Bill.
I felt so special.  It reminds me something we would do to my mom.

Adoption Time

The time is now.  After long talks with the hubby and lots of convincing.  We are here and ready to begin the adoption process once again.  I can't tell you how scared it has been for me.  See I would be happy with our little family but I just feel that if I didn't try for a third I would regret it.  And once my husband gave the O.K.  I felt such peace.  I know we can do this again.  I love babies and I love my two 4 year olds.  They are the best and they are so excited to have a brother or sister.  So here we go with the roller coaster of finding that right birth mother to help us with our adoption journey.  I have sent my paperwork in to LDS Family Services in Snowflake.  Now we are working on finger prints, physicals for all of us and Referrals have been sent.  Stay tuned for more progress.

Good Friends saying goodbye

This weekend Devin and I attended a really good funeral. It was for our neighbor and friend Roger Willis. He really was a good person. Two out of 6 of his girls are really good friends of mine. And I think of them as my own sisters even. Heather and I just became close and I love her dearly. Tami and I have been neighbors for 7 years now. Roger was the sweetest man ever. He loved to tell stories about his heritage. He loved to tell his handcart stories. He was very good with his hand and made many handcarts, frames and trinkets. He also was a great poem writer. I want to let him know how much he was loved.

Blast to the Miss! To the Top!

We had a blast in Mississippi. Can't tell how much fun we had. We visited Big D's cousins, aunt and uncle. Big D's two favorite things are southern belles and pregnant women. We stayed with one of his cousins and wife. They were so kind and great to us. We got to spend time with everyone on General Conference weekend. We did a whole lot of shopping and eating at our favorite restaurants. At the end of our trip we went to Gulfport Beach and New Orleans.

Camping Trip to Los Burros with the Flakes

Easter 2001

They are so sweet when they love on each other. Well I was sick all Sunday so poor kids didn't even get to hunt for eggs until 5. But I made Devin go head eggs and we got a few shots.
