I just got back from spending time in Utah with my Mom

for her birthday. Since my Mom is a twin, we had a

double celebration for the two of them. The morning

of my Mom's birthday, my sister Denise, brother

Darryl and myself, along with our parents,

went to the Timpanogas Temple. It was a great

start to the day. Then it was time for the birthday

celebration at Los Hermanos. All of my siblings were

there, and all but one of my cousins. Just like old

times. ; )

I have always loved my cousins, but I have a new

appreciation for my Aunt Renae and her family.

Ever since we found out my Mom has ovarian

cancer, my aunt Renae's family has been so

supportive and helpful. I don't know if they will

ever know how much that means to me.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the party

and also a picture of the "birthday girls"

Pre Senior Pictures

Julie is a Senior. So, when you are a senior, you take

senior pictures. These are the pictures we took before

we went to the studio that took the pictures for the

yearbook.

PS The pictures the studio took turned out very nice.

Will post when I can.

Do I hear Triple?? Naaww, it's a double

Clark, Michelle, Melissa and Andy


Michelle and Melissa

While Melissa and Michelle were visiting California,

I know that they were hoping to go on a triple date

with their brother. I'm not sure what happened,

but they took what they could get, and headed

out on a double date. They both decided to wear

their new dress, so they looked like the doublemint

twins. ha ha. but I think they had an enjoyable

time hanging out as "adult" sisters on their

double date.

Labor Day and a B-day celebration for Julie

drinking some refreshing soda

A week ago, before school started, Julie and I decided

to take a little trip down to Carlsbad, to visit with my

cousin Sandra. I've gone down there several years

during the summer, and had the greatest time.

Fun, relaxing and so enjoyable. Well when Julie

and I were there, and out in the beautiful ocean,

she said "Why don't we come down here for my

birthday?" So, my sweet cousin said that we

could bring the party to her house. (How sweet
is that?) So Sunday evening we took off for

Carlsbad, with 2 of Julie's closest friends. We had

a blast singing.....Oh darn, what is the name of

it? Mya hee, Mya ho, Mya ha, Mya ha ha.....any

one getting my drift? We made video's of us singing

along...(pretty funny) anyway, we rented a movie

and watched that, then got up this morning and went

to the beach, relaxed, then went and saw 2 movies.

500 Days of Summer, and All About Steve. We

enjoyed them both. then afterwards we went to

Souplantation for dinner before heading home. We

had a great time! Thanks to everyone who helped

make it a special time.

The last of the last

Well, our last child has started her last year of high school. I am amazed

at how fast life can go. Sometimes it feels like it whizzes by. Thank

heavens we have eternity.

Anyway, we finished the first week of school, the first football game

cheered at, and also....the first BYU football game of the season.

(Tyler, Anna and kids came over to enjoy with us)

They were all good. So here's to our last year of public schools.

Hip Hip Hoorah!!!
