I just called to say I Love You.

Draper Park DEAF Activity

Shari (in the purple shirt top picture) was in a 5k race today at Draper park. We got to see a lot of our Deaf friends. I watched Brooklyn while Shari ran. She got first in the 30 to 39 age group. Way to go Shari. The lady from Signing Times was there performing for all the kids. It was way cool to see all the little ones signing and singing with her. It was a fun morning.

PizzaNight

We had our first fire Friday night. We made somores after pizzas.

Dena's 53rd Birthday Dinner

We had a great family time for my birthday. We had a BBQ, a water fight, twister games, and presents. The kids all made CD's for me with the songs that reminded them of me. Each child picked their own songs. It was great. Randy got me a good book to read and flowers. I also got Cafe Rio gift cards. yum yum. It was a great day. Thanks everyone.

The Birthday Water Fight

Randy had everyone sit in a circle for a surprise game. He put a towell in the middle of the circle then opened it. It had a bunch of squirt guns filled with water. We all grabbed one and the war began. Actually the girls ran and the boys had the war.

Playin at the Park

Matt taught Brooklyn to hang by herself. She was so proud.

Matt was in Seattle for his birthday and his Uncle Arny let him come up on stage with his band and help with his happy birthday song. Every since then Matt has been hooked. So he went out and bought a bass. Look out Arny!

Brooklyn got into mommy's lip gloss. Look out grandma.

A Wonderful Reunion

This is the great view of Salt Lake City and Temple Square from the balcony of the Hoffman's penthouse.

This is Brother and Sister Hoffman's office. Check out their names on the wall.

Today was a very special day for me. Randy and I went to Salt Lake to the new Church History Library to make a surprise visit to some very special people in my life. This is Wilson and Donna Hoffman. They are missionaries at the Church History Library. They were baptised into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on May 17, 1978 in Roanoke Virginia. Guess who was one of their missionaries. ME! We had a fun afternoon catching up and going to dinner. These guys are the best so if you are around Temple Square be sure and say hi to them. Thanks Hoffman's you are the best.

Another Pizza night. This Friday night I decided Brooklyn had to learn the Princess wave. So we pretended we were in a parade and she was waving to all her adoring fans. Stay tuned for next weeks adventure. Learning to start a fire.

I babysat Kash today. Rock on Kash.

Kash is getting a hair cut. This is what happens when your mom is a hair stylist. You get all kinds of diffrent hair styles. DJ (dad) is holding Kash while Ashley (mom) is cutting away.
