Saying of the Month


May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

The Search.... The Name......

When I was getting ready for work this morning, Scotty was quietly watching TV while Kyla & her friend were still sleeping..... As I was ready to walk out the door, I called for Scotty to tell him "goodbye" and give him hugs and kisses! The TV was off and all was silent. I was sure he was outside playing with the dogs....but a check of the yard (& even the sheds), no Scotty! I checked under beds, in closets, the garage, even the rafters (cause he's been up there before) and there was no sign of him! So I said a little prayer in my heart to "please let me find him before I need to get too worried and take action." Then for 'some reason', I looked over at our coffee table which is the type that opens up to store blankets and what not and I thought surely he wouldn't be in there? And guess what???????

There he be!!!!!! Fast asleep!

Much to my relief! :)

Then later today..... something to laugh about! Scotty requested that I change his name when he goes into first grade (since his Kinder teacher wouldn't change his name)! His suggestions???? Spencer or Bolt! Preferrably Bolt!

Too cute! hee,hee :)

2 weeks to treasure.....

Kyla took her first solo plane trip to attend Especially For Youth (EFY) at BYU, Utah. She went with her cousin, Josh. (Janelle's oldest) Thanks to Janelle and her family, I knew that Kyla would be taken care of the moment she stepped off the plane until she boarded the plane on her way home!

Kyla had the time of her life! :)


Here is Kyla with her 'girls' from her 'company'!
Their company name was "After the Trial".
Approx 1301 teenagers attended the week-long stay at BYU.




Kyla and just a few of the many friends she made! ;)
After being gone for 10 days..... Kyla went to school for one day to take finals.....and then off to girls camp! Unfortunately..... the weather was very foggy and cold the whole week!
:( Brrrrrr



Here is Kyla and all the other "4th" year girls! They were "KIT"s this year (Kounselors in training) She had another terrific week!

She received her "camp name"....... it is.... Firecracker!!!

Wow, two weeks to treasure and summer vacation just started!
