Harmony Talent Show

Karsyn and Layton both participated in their school talent show again this year.  They did the same acts as last year!  We believe this shows the kids are showing dedication and endurance in strengthening one talent - this isn't to say that they don't have lots of other talents!  Layton chose to display a charcoal drawing of a dragon and Karsyn did gymnastics with her friend Megan from her team.  They will do the show THREE times today-two at school and one performance tonight at the High School.  Layton had no idea that he was going to introduce his artwork so we hadn't practiced what to say.  He did that all on his own - best part of all... no stinky, sweaty armpits!

Ooh it's so fun to be able to see these things from your kids when you're so far away. Makes us feel like we're not so far! We need to be better about updating our blog.

That totally reminds me of my childhood talent shows. You probably remember all of my numerous talents I was able to choose from--lets see--um--there was that one--oh I can't quite remember it now. Oh wait--I took baton for awhile. That really made a big difference in my life and my ability to hold a broomstick. Totally impressive Layton and Karsyn. I seriously cannot believe that Layton was able to draw that dragon so well. AMAZING!!

Aiden just looked over my shoulder and said, "Wow, that girl on the computer is good." He was impressed with her walking on her hands. Layton's dragon is awesome, too. Abby keeps asking me, "Who are those kids?" I keep telling her, "They are kids of one of my friends from my mission." They can't really understand that there are people that I know that they don't. Oh, and the Old Spice story is priceless.

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
