Me on a motorcycle!


I love riding motorcycles and I want one real bad! Since Darren died in a motorcycle accident last summer, it hasn't been a real desire for any of us to get back on a bike. However, this weekend, being in California, Don rolled out his bike and let me get on. It was so fun. We miss you Darren!

Girl's Night Out

I miss my Texas friends! Juli Downs came down from Burley, Tammy Cook came out from Texas, and Andrea Alexander is my new friend from Texas that I didn't know before. We all went out Saturday night while the men went to the Priesthood Session. It was so nice to have a night out and we laughed and laughed! That is what I miss. Those late night talk sessions while watching the Bachelor or hanging out at Baskin Robbins telling secrets that do not go beyond that room! Good friends, good times!

Temple Square

The Cook's and Downs' came to Salt Lake for General Conference and we all met on Temple Square. We had a great time together and enjoyed touring the area. I actually got my kids to sit together for a picture and look like they enjoy each other. Jackson got to go to the Priesthood session and Mariah and I went to the Sunday morning session.

Winter Fun!

Spring just can't decide if it wants to come or not- here are the kids enjoying a day out with Dad.

I don't cut hair but Jackson was looking pretty raggedy and he was getting ready to turn 12 and be ordained a deacon so I thought I would give it a shot. As you can see, he hated it. In the end it didn't look so bad but Jackson said it was the worst haircut he had ever had. I guess that is the end of my hairstylist career!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


I finally downloaded the pictures from my camera and this is what I found! The kids got all decked out in green for St. Patrick's Day and did some jigs for us! Mariah wanted to really make sure she didn't get pinched and so put on as much green as she could. They had a fun day!
