There is so much to be thankful for....


First of all, I am thankful for my family. I love all of you very much.


I am thankful for my family's health...


I am thankful for the job that I sometimes hate to go to...


I am thankful for the dirty house I have to clean...


I am thankful for the freedoms we have...to go to the church of our choice, to speak freely and to be active participants in our government...


I am thankful for the beauty around me, the warm sun, the purple skies, and the tall mountains...


I am thankful to know so many wonderful people...


I am thankful for the relationship I have with my Father in Heaven...


Thanks to everyone who has touched my life.

I Will Stand Steadfast and Immovable - Girls Camp 2008

Aubrey had the chance to go to girls camp this summer with two of her best friends, Amber and Sarah. The theme this year was "I will stand steadfast and immovable". Based on the pictures and stories they brought home, they must have had the time of their life! Here are just a few of the 433 pictures they took....
It's time for the ward skits...they had to find the best dancers at camp. Of course, they found Aubrey and Sarah.

All the girls in the wings getting ready for their stage performance.


Looks like lunch!
Best Friends, Sarah, Aubrey, and Amber!

Sunny Days, Sweeping the Clouds Away....

Whew...Finally! We are moving into our new home. After almost two years in our "temporary" apartment, we found a home. Big enough for each one of us and Grandma too. We are staying in the same ward boundaries and the same school boundaries for the kids. Although we are moving in the middle of Thanksgiving, we'll be settled in by Christmas, just in time to enjoy a visit from Diane and Cito. This house has a diving pool in the backyard, so Aubrey can get as much practice as she needs for the Chandler High Dive team next year.
