Thank You for Fighting for the Sanctity of Marriage

I don't know if any of you are pageant watchers, but I must just give major props to Carrie Prejean, Miss California. During the Miss USA pageant tonight when asked whether all states should legalize gay marriage, she said that she believes marriage is between a man and a woman. This, she stated, was how she was raised and how she thinks the country still believes. GO MISS CALIFORNIA!!! How brave and impressive. The judge who asked her was visibly irritated and disappointed with her answer. I say, she is an awesome example of standing up for what is right.

My Little Egg Hunter

We had a really fun Easter Egg Hunt with my Mom's Group. Haley only sort of understood the concept, but she sure enjoyed eating the candy out of the eggs. Now she thinks candy is inside every round thing, so she keeps bringing me balls and toys and begging me to open them. She is not really understanding my explainations. She's sure a kick!

Camera Charger Lament

Oh, where have you gone, camera charger? I will post again when I get my replacement in the mail. Until then, I mourn.

Our Trip to San Diego

We went to San Diego with my sister, Tif, and her darling family. It was a really fun trip and the weather was perfect. We had a great time.

Tribute To LuAnne

There are not words for the loss that we feel since LuAnne's tragic passing. To me she has been a friend, a teacher, and a confidant. I will forever treasure the many memories we have with her as well as the gorgeous baby blanket she made for Haley. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have had her such a huge influence in my life. To you, LuAnne, we love you, we miss you, and you have touched our lives forever.

Superbowl Weekend in the Sun

We had a great time superbowl weekend catching up with old friends who were here in St. George. We went out to dinner, the guys went golfing, we watched the big game, and we had a poker night at our house. We had such a great weekend of friends, fun, food, and football!

Watching the game at Nolan & Treo's house.

Any of you seasoned bloggers made your blog into a book? I really want to do this, but there are so many companies to choose from. Have any of you had a great experience or done it and really like how it turned out? Any suggestions? I'd love your advice. Thanks!
