Babysitting the toad

My Parents took Christi and Kelsey to Europe for a few weeks,a and Ray and Brad were able to tag along so I got to stay behind and make sure that the girls were behaving and also got to hang with Brooke a bunch. Really we had such a great time. We went to the park, went swimming and had play dates. Went shopping and out to lunch and I just think Brooke is the best babes ever! I slept in a huge bed at the parents, ate their food, got to cook for the groupies and didn't have to go to my lame job as much. Brad loves the dogs so much that really we didn't see much of each other for weeks because he needed to be here for them. One of the best times was when Brad and I hit sushi for a date with Brooke and saw that she not only loved sushi but could use chopsticks really really well! She is so smart and we had no problems with her at all. I get a gift from Rome for my house, dont have to deal with jet lag, and had time to lay by the pool. No complaints hanging here in AZ.

More prom pix.

Prom 2010

Lindsay and Mary had their Prom recently. They booth looked incredible and had so much fun with their Boys that they are dating, but don't want anyone to know. My parents went to Europe so I got to lace the girls up and send them on the dates. Brooklyn just loved the pretty dressed and had so much fun posing with the girls.

Happy 27th birthday

Really this birthday was really lame. I hate birthdays and really its just how I feel. 27 is just so much older then 26 and in my life's plan of action I am suppose to be alot further with goals then where I am now. Like.. a degree from the 6 years of classes I have taken. Or thinner then what I am. or have a family started, not at the start of the adoption process. We have a trip planned in June to Vegas with the Bowles which will be fun. In the mean time we continue to progress together. I have started going back to the gym, which is miserable. The house is so great and really we are blessed. Brad took me shotgun shooting at a mountain area by the house. Really it was funny, I can't launch the clay's so Brad would launch and then shoot in the some throw. He really did it great! Way to multitask babes!

RS. Birthday party

I love my council members, we have so much fun and this activity was a great time. NOw all I need to do is get the attendance up! Sheesh come on QC women! We had a celebration of the RS being organized. We had some fun games, and EMMA Smith showed up and gave a really neat talk. The food was fabulous, with mini cheeseballs, choclate strawberries, quiche, veggies with dip and yummy cupcakes. We did a queen of hearts theme with decorated princess crowns.

Lots of babysitting!

Raylene is a vinyl queen. Really she makes my life a bit more creative and fun. My house still has lots of room for some future projects but it is slowly filling up with my dads amazing paintings and fun vinyl.
