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

Love From Mom and Dad

Here we are another month coming and moving on it's merry way.
Already change, change, and more change.
Mom practicing and rehearsing hours and hours,
A trip to St George and performances.

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.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Some girl at the Laura Mercier Counter in Newport Beach talked me into trying this moisturizing foundation 3 years ago and I love it, so far I haven't found a better replacement

This Cd has been my favorite for 2007, If you haven't already purchased it I recommend it.

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant right now, I love the atmosphere the food is modern Mexican

cusine and I have never had a bad meal there.

This is one of the cutest bathing suits I have seen out for 2008, I think I have to have it. Now I just need to work on getting my body to look just like hers.

I use this product before and after I blow dry my hair and I love it. It gives my hair a nice soft glow with no flyaways.

This is an expensive product, but my skin has looked so much better ever since I started using it.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

1. I have never been consistent with writing in my journal, this year I am going to work at writing in it, even if it is only a paragraph a day.

My TWO favorite girls

It has been 4 months since I have seen these two cute girls and boy have they grown. Joy is 2 years old going on thirteen. We had so much fun together. She sang the all the words to "Do Ray Me" from the Sound of Music, no mistakes running around the family room with her hands outstretched, I was pretty surprised at how many songs a 2 year old is able to memorize.

Demi, loves to stick out her little tounge and then give you a huge smile...no words from Demi yet as she is only 6 months old but give her another year and a half and I believe we will have another Joy on our hands. Thank you Frank and Sara for raising such great little girls, they made Thanksgiving so much more enjoyable.

This video is so hilarious!!!
