birthdays





We were in North Carolina for Bella and Dan's birthday. I was wondering how many gifts there are out there that would be equally appropriate for a 1 year old and a 30 something year old...because Dan and Bella are sharing their birthday present from us this year!


As you can see Jonah also cashed in on the deal. As did Tricia!

Nice bikes guys and happy riding!!!

career night

For Brianna's typing class, she had to take a career inventory test. Tricia, Doug, Dan (in absentia) and I also took it. Tricia was told to go into purchasing and merchandising. (Anyone who hangs out with Tricia knows that she has got the purchasing thing down.) Doug was told to go into business consulting and analysis. Enough said about that. Dan is our high school teacher or college professor. Brianna is supposed to into craft and precision work. And I am supposed to go into A-V recording and transmitting. Whoops, I missed my life work. Take the test here.

Time for the week in Review

It is not that I have been particularly busy this week. In fact, quite the opposite. I have been relaxing so much that I haven't even blogged! So, here it is...Highlights of the week.


Monday - I read Twilight. Yep...all day. I read the whole book. It was very entertaining!


Tuesday - Doug went flying with Rhett Lawton. They flew to Key West. Doug got to land the plane three times during the adventure and had a terrific experience.


Wednesday - President Darrington and his wife came for breakfast. They have just been assigned to our area. It was a pleasure to get to know them. Most recently, they have been living in Washington state.



Thursday - Brianna's picture arrived that we ordered late in the spring.



Friday - Doug and I went to the Temple. We enjoyed seeing our friends the Delgados from South Florida in our session.



Saturday - We played on the jet ski's.
