Wow..you are ALMOST as old as Christa, which is really saying something. Hope you have a great day in UTAH. CLICK HERE

Last night Emmy, Chad, and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Haslem. At first Emmy was pretty scared of both of them, but pretty soon Grandma started playing peek-a-boo with her and she warmed right up. We think it made Grandma happy. She sure does have a way with kids! We talked in the house for a while, then we went outside to see the fruit trees and the garden. The neighbor even came over and asked Chad for help breaking into her house to unlock the front door because she locked herself out on accident. Go Chad, go! It was fun. Emmy got to ride on the swing and liked that a lot too. Before we knew it, it was past Emmy's bedtime, so we came home. A good time was had by all.

Hi Buff....I suppose you want to know what's been going on around here. Have you ever heard the phrase "Oh what a difference a day makes"? Let me tell you all about it. Friday night Marilyn and I went up to the mountain. We were feeling really lazy and didn't want to cook dinner so we went out to Red Robin and got their 5 buck hamburger deal....great burger and potato wedges. Up at the mountain, the birds were singing, the stream was running. Ahhh......quiet and peaceful. REALLY nice *except* for when I let your mother beat me twice in a row, by ONE CARD in Knock Rummy. The next morning we had a lazy morning, listening to the stream and birds as the sun started to filter through the pine and aspen trees. Well, then we decided to THOROUGHLY clean our trailer, which we did. We came home Saturday late morning. Remember that all this time Brigham and Christa were in Albuturkey getting him all graduated so Dastrup grandparents had the wee ones up in Sandy. In the afternoon...

I have music books. Lots of them. A few of them I would keep, but 90% them I would like to get rid of unless there are people in the family who want them. I realize that several of you don't have room to store books you can't use now, but would want them later. If that is the case, then we could put them in a box in the attic , but I don't need them in my living space now. But the attic is out too, if nobody is interested in them ever. I also have old FHE books. I bought them at DI so we had more than just the 1-2 the chuch currently puts out. The used to put out a new one every year. Anyone want those? So, speak now, or forever hold your peace!

It was a slow night at work, and I found this little test . I got 18/20 - so don't give me a fake smile, 18 out of 20 times I'll know about it!

Today was Jacob's first day of summer school, and fortunately he seemed pretty happy to get on the bus when it came (maybe because it was a full-sized bus-- he's only had small ones in the past). Not long after he left I went grocery shopping and accidentally forgot to take my cell phone. When I got back, I was surprised and horrified to find a message from Jacob's school asking if the bus hadn't come by since he was not at school. I tried calling the number I was given back, but there was only a message. I started panicking-- imagining Jacob wandering somewhere by himself-- unable to tell anyone who he was or where he was supposed to be. I looked up another number to the school and called, and the lady said she would look into it right away and call me back immediately. Five minutes passed. Ten. Fifteen-- each minute I was getting more and more distraught. I finally packed up the boys and raced to the school. Just as I was walking into the office, I got a pho...

I go thorough the effort of posting 2 videos and nobody even comments! I see how it is! I think my girls are going through Utah-withdrawals. Extra grumpy lately. We found out this week that Steve has to go to Atlanta in the end of August for a mandatory meeting about his government scholarship that he got (the one where he has to go be a dentist in an underserved community for 2 years when done with school). Just think, Steve and sister Gro will be breathing the same Georgia air.... His trip is going to be cutting it VERY close to our surrogacy transfer. As far as I know right now, his conference is Aug 26th-28th (traveling home on the 29th?) and my trip up to boise is Aug 30-sep 9th (which make change a few days in one direction or another). I'm sure it will probably be fine, but the thought of both very important things possibly colliding makes me nervous. yesterday in sunday school some big strawberry-blond dude got up to say the closing prayer. Lydia saw him and was yelling al...
