Leavin in a big car...

I'm off to California with my sister, someone come take care of my husband! (He's going to be kidless and wifeless and happyless, or so I like to convince myself. He's probably stoked.)

Busy Girl

I have been one busy seniorita, this week and last. I now have a total of four callings in our ward and stake, try not to be jealous. My sister tells me that is why she doesn't live in a rural area! I am starting to agree with her. I had to go to a meeting tonight and miss the Watterson family dinner and now I am sitting in this quiet house alone. I should be stoked, but I am just lonely and avoiding the dishes :). I called Rob, to make sure they weren't having fun without me, and he laughed in the backround just to rub it in! (He learned that from my sisters and mother, evil women that they are.) I was able to speak in Sacrament meeting today, with the rest of the YW presidency, and was "lucky" enough to have the topic of Virtue.(The new value) What do you say to the adults? DO NOT CHEAT ON YOUR SPOUSE! I thought of yelling DON'T FORNICATE! into the microphone and then sitting down. I thought it was genius, but Rob didn't think that would have gone over, so I spoke instead! I actually loved the topic, I learned a lot. It makes me thankful for my own choices as a wife and a woman. Well, I have to get up at 5:00, Goodnight All! I will come up with something excessively creative to post, later...

Come What May and Love It

It feels so discouraging this life ahead for my children...
This talk, by Elder Wirthlin, struck me at the time and now it is priceless to me. It is so nice to hear a message of hope. I love this video and it made my day today, I hope you take the time to watch it!

Tubing at Soldier Hollow :)

Our favorite family tradition with the Watterson side is tubing at Soldier Hollow. It is so stinkin fun, it is almost criminal! If you've never been, a cable pulls you up the hill and then you ride down in blissful glorious fun! We had sooo much fun this year, with the kids being at such a great age to possitively wallow in the fun of it! (The first year we went I was eight months pregnant with Brody and Avery slept almost the entire time - up and down the runs! Little Miss Adventure Pants, Gracie has been stoked and into it every year! :)

This is Rob's older brother and his family. (Justin, Lisa and offspring)

These are Rob's parents Steve and Connie with their daughter Madi and the youngest son Marc, sans prego wife Cassie.

This is the oldest brother, Chad and his family :)

These two funny kids are Rob's younger brother Jacob and his wife, Emily who is also Pregnant!
They just told us last Watterson Sunday with Fortune cookie messages, it was so fun!

Us, of course.

Goob, kickin it in her tube.

Miss Priss, Avis.

Bubba, who pretty much ditched us the entire time to hang with Uncle Justin. (who he occasionally calls Jacob, just to get a rise out of him!)

Our family, blinded by the sun and our love for eachother :) he he he
