Benjamin's Big 2nd B-Day!

We got Benjamin two kittens: Thumper and Shi Shi. He adores them.

Here are the boys in their Halloween costumes:




For Benjamin's B-day we went to Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point.

This is my brother in law, Dustin riding "the Bull."

Benjamin laughed soooo hard on the giant jumping pillow
They had this HUGE rocking chair:


This is Emily and Dustin and their 3 week old baby girl, Tayra.

His birthday was great and life is good. We should be closing on our house in about 2 weeks (what a process that is!) I am still waiting to hear back from the agent about "Skywren" and have another agent who is interested too, if that one doesn't work out.
I've recently started doing data entry from home and having great success with that. The extra money is such a blessing, especially now that we won't have free rent!
Ben has partnered with the owner of Lane Heating and Cooling and is sucessfully increasing their business. Hope you are well. My the Lord bless you with wealth and abundance!

Chubby Chance

Here is my sweet Chancers. Don't you want to pinch those cheeks?

Why do I feel I'm always playing catch up?

Yeah, I'm a big slacker. Things are so busy right now buying our first house. What a process! Here are a few pics for Beauty and the Beast.


This is Joel as "The Beast"

"This is me and my fellow "Silly Girls" Heidi and Mary." We had such a blast!

ONLY 1 1/2 weeks 'till "Beauty and the Beast" OPENING NIGHT!!! I am so excited. I absolutley love my part (hey, it's fun to be dumb)and the cast rocks. Rehearsals are getting tough and long but that's all part of it. Can't wait to get pictures posted soon of the real deal. Hope lots of you can come see it. It runs September 5- October 3 Friday, Saturday and Monday nights at the Center Street Musical Theatre in Provo. There is also a matinee at 11 am on Saturdays. Get the info and tickets at www.csmt.com or give me a call. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes!

Family Picture Expedition

Family pictures- you have at all layed it out in an idylic scene in your mind- the outfits are all corridnated, the children are cheerful and full of radiant photogenic smiles on demand, the husband and wife hold hands happily one with another, snap, snap, snap our family is perfect and we're out of there! Um, yeah right.
Out of over 150 pictures, these are the only ones that somewhat captured that idylic vision. Don't be too fooled!
