NOT SEXY IN THE CITY


Wow, having your name called out as "unsexiest women of the year" followed with Amy Winehose and Britney Spears, would make me want to speak out too. Love how you can never get through an online video without watching a commercial.
Easter Greetings from Mom and Dad
Dawn
Did I take the time to see the sun awaken the day,
as it spread it's glorious rays of light upon the earth?
Softly and slowly it falls upon the morning dew, and
Dawn,
a word so gentle and so pure is born.

All of life appears to quietly awaken:
I hear the chirping of the birds,
and see the filtered light among the trees.
I gaze upon the beauty of the ever changing colors
of sunrise in the eastern sky,
casting it's rays upon all of creation.

Everything awakens in glorious splendor.
My heart is filled with awe!
Here in the quietness and stillness of the morning.
I capture the beautiful similitude of this rising sun.
It seems to speak to the depths of my soul,
announcing to all the world in joyous delight;
"Christ is Risen, Christ is Risen,
the darkness of night is dispelled,
a new day is born!"

Still musing in quiet meditation
I marvel how God has placed on earth
His own symbol of things divine.

I look deep within, and in peaceful tranquility
I see another woman long ago in a far away place
coming to be near her Lord.
Ever so gently and purely the sun arises,
and Dawn casts it's illuminating light
upon an empty tomb.
(I wrote this poem last Easter, Mom)

BABY CAGES ARE THEY APPROPRIATE?


When Kennedy does something "bad" Camille sends her to the dog cage. C'mon Camille is that really appropriate?

He continued on with his travels, excited about his discovery of this beautiful town.

Sunset in Bountiful






Snow and More Snow







Hopefully it won't be long until Spring!

James, Mom and Dad - Snow in Utah




We had to say "Goodbye" and now we're pretty lonesome without our kids. We sure love all of you.
So why did you have to go to Colorado for Andy's Birthday,
when you could have had free lodging, hot cocoa and wonderful snow
plus the added bonus of seeing Mom and Dad. What's up with that?

Easter Poem from James

Savior and Friend---------------------
When Jesus Christ in time of pain,
and in the Garden bled.
The Drops of blood fell down like rain,
he bore the sins of filth and dread.
To us those, who did commit.

And in our minds we see the God,
Who bore the stone and stave.
Who bore the nails in hands and feet
,And in the third day broke the grave,
To ressurect us all.

But do we ever see the man,
Abandoned by most all.
When asked to bear the greatist trial,
Greater than the fall,
Would bear it all alone.
Not just a God, or Savior ,
To die for all mankind,
But Brother to us all,

A friend in heart, in soul, in mind,
Who sacrificed so much.
couldn't be there in the garden,
Or on the Calvary Hill,
So I ask you now to give your will
,Stand up, defend, be true.
And let our Savior Jesus Christ,
Know he can depend on you.

THE DIANA PHOTO SHOOT


I was browsing blogs one day and saw a post about this camera. I thought, cute camera, looks vintage I wonder what kind of photos it takes. I looked it up online and saw that it was $30 dollars and thought I'd give it a try. I was so excited for the camera to come in the mail, I would run to my mailbox every day with anticipation. When it came, I needed a subject and who better than my friend Camille's little girl Kennedy.
