March 10, 2014 WE DID IT!!!

dad and i have been trying to figure out how to make a post, technology is hard stuff.

thanks becca for giving me another lesson.  i think i can do this.

thanks to you girls for being so good about posting things, dad and i will get better i promise.  i wanted to post tait's surgery information for all but couldn't figure it out and then dad had some pictures he wanted to share and  there was another hour with no luck.

i spoke with grandma this week and some things i wanted to share about the beach house this summer…

1.  we need beach towels.  bath towels are provided with each house but not beach towels.  there are washing and drying machines which will be great.
2.  for pictures, we are asking everyone to wear white shirts with jean bottoms.  i don't know if you remember the picture in our home from the last trip, clothing is the same.  i just had the boys/men wear their white church shirts and us girls wore anything white that we had, some t-shirts and others shirts.  bottoms can be shorts, pants, skirts or anything in-between.  our hope is to make this super simple so there isn't much if any cost involved.  please have the shirts plain with no designs or words.
3. we are in charge of our own breakfast and lunch and for dinners each family will get assigned a night to provide food for all.  it is still a little while away so i will gather ideas as it gets closer.

i know this isn't exciting news to post on the blog but i just wanted to use it…maybe it will help me get used to using it and learning how.

love you all
thanks for all the calls, cards and texts for my birthday.  it was wonderful!

dad is home sick with the norvo virus!  hopefully tait and i don't get it!!!

This is Sid and me at the USC, Boston College football game!  Of course USC won 35-7, Fight on!

                             Donald Trump came by and told Coach Lane Kiffin he was fired!

This is where we sat not bad for free tickets.

Does Grandma love her Grand Kids or What!

i am trying to learn  how to blog and this is hard!!!

i thought i had posted something yesterday but i think madeline just received a "comment", sorry madeline!

i wanted to let everyone know, through this new wonderful blog, that i received a new calling.  i know, i have only been in rs for about six month but i am going back to young women's.  yep!  after thirty years of marriage i have been in primary and young women's most of the time, about 27 years or more.

it started with an email that dad received saturday afternoon and he just spent the rest of the day laughing at me!  since he is in the high council he receives all stake information.  next i received two phone calls from the stake presidency and the new president.  opps!  that wasn't supposed to happen.

i received the call to serve as first counselor in the stake young women's presidency.  wow!  something very new.  i don't even know what to expect, except i WILL be attending girl's camp next year!  this is what happens when you tell the stake you can't do something, they make it a calling! ha!

love and miss you all
mom

Yipee!  we are on!  Great job Becca and Madeline!  Thank you

love mom
