Doc Walker

(Eventually I may upload some videos)
Soooo Awesome.

It took me a while to stop relating every song to a person in my life, then I was able to enjoy the music.

I didn't dance even though I was itching to.. I moved a lot in my seat. I had planned to take Alicia, but she had a scout camp. So Trish and I had a date and it was great, poor thing was quite tired through right at the beginning (That will teach her to have un planned sleep overs)

I should've been tired because I woke up at 5:45 am.

My favorite songs:

Forgive Me
The show is free

We bought the cd of the Marion Weston who opened the show. She was also lots of fun.

They even played encore of two songs, I was dissapointed that they didn't come out and sign autographs, but maybe I didn't hang out long enough.

Trish and I went to Denny's for a snack, and ran into some friends from the church.
We had a great time laughing with them and talking about the show.
How speical is it when two totally different generations can just hang out and have fun.

Sorry for the lack of post's again. Readjusting to part time work has been a lot harder then I expected. But I have this cool post rolling around in my head. Something along the lines of "Soundtrack to my life"
Stay Tuned!

Miss A.... (#8)

This was supposed to post almost a week ago. Opps
I am much to lazy to put these in the correct order.


Alicia is creepily smiling down at Bonnie!
This one was taken on a midnight walk with siblings and friends..
I love the way she is so carefree looking and happy.
Alicia Miriam(#8). When my mom was preggers, we (being the other 7) Had been reading about how Miriam lead the women in dancing in the bible, and I remember us asking my mom if we could name the baby Miriam if it was a girl
(Oh yes, Random Fact: My dad named the boys, my mom the girls. When my dad dad picked the 2nd boys name there was such an uproar, he would never ever share the name. Not even with my mom. It was always an old testament name. Whatever God would bring him)

So I remember my mom saying something about it meaning bitterness, or that she wasn't the greatest example of a Godly woman, so why don't we compromise with Alicia first and then Miriam. At 12 I was more then satisfied. (for the record her name means (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child" OR Miriam - A biblical name meaning bitter) I prefer the first website much more. Moving on :)
Both of these photos are from school. When I came home last May she being a tyrant. Now that she has passed the stage of Miss Bossy, I think life is a little easier for the younger ones.
The girls love to dress up. All of the dress they are wearing are MINE. Someday I will wreak havoc in their wardrobes.. Well I already can steal Meleah's clothes :D

We are going to the Doc Walker show next week together as her super early birthday present!

My mom has passed down her love of horses
Girls night. With the boys :D
Alicia has always been a little entrepreneur. She always knows how to make a buck, or bribe one of us to pay her to do something :D

Thank God for Mommies.

I felt bad this morning, trying desperately to think of something for Mother's Day..
I had an idea and it fell through.
I made all the kids fill out coupon's for mom, some put a few things. She received a day away from Alicia, and 5 hours of work from Aaron, Caleb is taking her to dinner and a movie in PR, and half price foot rubs (which is better then running over her toes, like he wanted to put on it) Levi is going to personally silence the children (mom wanted to know if he had a supply of Ether) and clean the laundry room. Ezra is making cookies of her cookie (which has been expanded to a batch every day this month) Beth is going to make breakfast but mom needs to wake her up first. Abe is going to make her bed for 10 days. I know I am missing a few. I am going to do some gardening.

How much would mom make in a year?

I started filling the sink to wash dishes, and found the biggest spider. I shrieked and then took photos. Finally getting it in a cup, I put myself out of misery and squashed it.

Now between popcorn and blog reading I am almost finished the dishes...
Happy Mothers Day
