5 Truths and a Lie

1. I stood on the edge of a curb outside the gates of Buckingham Palace as a car carrying Sarah Ferguson drove through.

2. I sent a manuscript to The Friend magazine.

3. I was a lead in my stake musical when I was 17. I did pretty well.... except for that one song.

4. I don't like going to dances.

5. I once experienced uncontrollable giggles while giving a talk at the church pulpit.

6. I think it would be fun to perform the song Secret Love from the musical Calamity Jane.

So my friends, which one is the lie?

Birthday Buddies

For our family 4th Sunday dinner in March we celebrated "The Birthdays". Here are the birthday buddies: Zach, Andy, Adam, Caitlin, Michael and Tanner.

Sweet Tanner loves his baby cousin James (and he didn't let his balloon get too far from his grasp either; as you can see in both photos).

March Madness

I know that to most everyone "March Madness" means basketball, but to me it has an entirely different meaning; multitudes of birthdays in my family... and all within 18 days!!


On March 14 my oldest son Andy celebrated his birthday. This year he got to spend the day in a place he loves... DISNEYLAND!!! Andy is a wonderful son and I love him.


On March 17 Caitlin celebrated her 18th birthday!! She loves her birthday every year. This year her dad and I took her to a special place... the Five Alls restaurant. I love my Rosie (and I love Five Alls).


Today, March 24, my oldest grandson Adam is 9-years-old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone (and I can't believe I've been a grandma for 9 years). I love Adam, he is such a good boy.


Also today, March 24, my grandson Tanner is having his first birthday. He is such a precious baby boy. I love cute Tanner. He makes me smile.


On March 30 my grandson Zachary will be 7-years-old. Just look at that smile. Zach is such a big helper to me, I love our cute Zach.


And last but not least is my Mikee, whose birthday is March 31. He will be older than me for 3 1/2 months!! I love Mikee (and I love being on that beach with him) and look forward to a fun date night with him on his special day.

And BTW... I LOVE April!!

The Boy Next Door

Caitlin and Hayden have known each other their entire lives; I'm pretty sure that they were each other's very first friend. Although Hayden is not literally the boy next door, if there was a "boy next door" it would definitely be him...






...so, it was fun to see the two of them going to a school dance together.... even though they masqueraded as the infamous Lindsay Lohan and a handcuff yeilding jail guard.

Young Womanhood Recognition

For the past six years Caitlin has been involved in the young women's personal progress program of our church. Today in sacrament meeting, she received her Young Womanhood Recognition award, which is a result of setting and completing many goals and projects in this program. We are very proud of her for accomplishing this. I can't believe that she will be eighteen-years-old this coming week and leaving the young women's program. It has gone by way to fast. We love you Rosie!!

Disney On Ice

I was the lucky recipient of four free tickets to Disney On Ice. My cousin was the winner of a contest and was kind enough to share his tickets with me for a Grandma Day! It turned out to be a Grandma/Aunt Lesley Day as I took Mason, Avery, and my neice Rebecca. The four of us had a fabulous time. Thanks so much Bob and Alana!!
