About Me

I'm a mother of four girls and one boy and I've got the greatest husband in the world-and I'd bet the farm on that one. We're a great team although he says he's moving out of the house as soon as all our girls are teenagers. We're very strong in our religion which is in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I draw strength from my religion and my family. I love life and am grateful to be surrounded by such great family and friends. I am gently reminded daily of the love and blessings that our Heavenly Father has for us. I live the life I always dreamed of having. I don't know how I was so blessed. Sometimes I feel undeserving to have the perfect life I always wanted. But I'm not complaining! I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Life goes up and life goes down, but even during the lowest so far, I'm still happy. Still know that I will have my family forever. Still know that my husband adores me and I him. Life is so good.

Aaron's 29th Birthday!

We headed down to the Tuacahn in St. George to see Big River. It was awesome! If you've never been before I highly recommend it. Tickets are decently priced and there's a dinner before. If you go on a wednesday night, like we did, it's considered "date night" and you get free popcorn and 2 sodas. We got there early to check out the place. A little old lady gave us a ride up to the theatre from the parking lot and told us stories and showed us some crazy rock formations that we're still not sure were even there. Aaron says when he's a little old man he wants to mess around with youngsters like that. You know like say "Do you see the indian wearing his head-dress riding on that horse? It's right there next to the big frog..." Whether it's there or not he wants to see how many people would say, "Oh yeah, I totally see it!" just because he's a cute old man. Anyway we were there from about 5:30 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. We got back to the hotel, put on our swimsuits and walked out the door just in time to see them locking the pool and hot tubs for the night. D'oh!



Thursday, which was Aaron's official birthday we headed downtown to the St. George temple. My parents were married there so it was really special for me to be there in the same rooms I imagine they had been in 38 years or so ago. Then we made the trek back home and Aaron went straight to play softball. They kept winning and ended up playing 3 games so he didn't get home until around 10:30 p.m. That's what he loves to do though so I hope it made his birthday even better.
I love you Aaron! Thanks for letting me share your amazing life with you. Happy Birthday! Hopefully we've got many more to come!

Bonnie, You have no idea who I am... I was looking up a friend of mine on google (Jane Ellen Stott)and she showed up on your blog. Would you mind sending her my email address?

brownbean76@yahoo.com

I know it is totally strange to show up as a total stranger on someone's blog, but her name only showed up there. My backyard and the Stott's were back-to-back in Richfield when I was young. We lived there for just about three years, but we were good friends and I wanted to say hi.

Sorry to be this strange person leaving a comment:-) I did notice you wanted to live in Costa Rica for a year...Strangely enough, we (my husband and three kids) moved there in February of this year and it was an amazing experience. You picked a good place to go live. We love it there! If you are interested in seeing our blog that has a lot about Costa Rica, let me know.

Okay...I'll stop the novel. You have a beautiful blog. Take care,
