SNOWBIRD...

Every week 32 our family goes to Snowbird.  My mom and dad bought a time share up there when they were expecting me.  Lots of people make New Years' resolutions, well I make Snowbird resolutions.  I didn't have a lot of time to think about it this time, being busy playing with the kids.  I'm not complaining, I totally love them!  It was so much fun getting to see so much of their individual personalities.  Ford has the best imagination I've ever witnessed, and is always planning something!  Everett is so logical, and plays a tough guy, but really isn't.  Adelynn is a riot, and she knows it!  We had a lot of fun getting to slide on the Alpine Slide and the tram.  They jumped on jump houses and stuff, and loved it!  There were only two things I didn't do that I really wanted to, ride the Zip Line and sit down at the edge of the river and relax.  This time was the first time I came down the mountain during the week.  I came home for my institute class and went out to dinner with Amy.  It was great!  Next year we'll hopefully be able to get a new room.  The room we have had forever was perfect for Collin, Mom, Dad and me.  Next year there will be a new baby, and when I eventually have a family, there's definitely not going to be room for all of us!

Anyways~ back to my new goals... I'm not going to tell you :)  I can just say that I feel very happy about the future, not that I'm really knowing what that holds.  I can tell you that I'm going to step up on Designs by Pyper.  I've been slacking during the summer, so I've really got to get moving! 

One goal is to get past this dumb shyness of mine.  I've improved, but I have a long ways to go. 

So, I'm not very good at keeping up on this anymore!  What's gone on since the last time I was on here?

Birthdays...

Selling Grandma's house...

Here's Grandma's empty house.  This was WAY harder than I thought it would be!

Other things have been Daughters of Faith.  Going to one of the girls' camps.  Teaching piano, and still not having the summer schedule set with everyone's vacations, so every week is new.  (I even forgot some were coming at a certain time, and woke up 6 minutes before piano :))  Going to the rodeo.  ReAL!!!  Having a good time meeting new people and making new friends.  Spending lots of time with the funniest kids, EVER!!!  I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it at the moment.  I can just say I'm having tons of fun and keeping busy!

New things I've done this week...

Remember how once I said I was going to try new things...  Well, I had quite a few things this week...

        2.  Sanded a front door and back door and refinished/painted them.

4.  Trimmed a tree (not decorated :)) actually cut branches off

5.  Used an electric trimmer on the shrubbery around the sidewalk, driveway, and porch. 

6.  Drilled holes in someones wall and hung some drapery rods.

Pretty fun stuff!
