Sheri Dew

Sheri Dew came to speak in Cedar City a couple months ago. My mom brought Carisa and her friend Beth down for a leadership weekend at SUU, so we all went and listened to Sister Dew speak at the Centrum the next morning. She is such a fantastic speaker and gave us some great reminders about our worth as women of God.

Zack's 7th Birthday

For Zacky's birthday this year we went to Funtime Inflatables here in Cedar City. The kids had a blast running from inflatable to inflatable. They also had a boxing area where the kids put on huge gloves and helmets and wrestled. It was so fun to watch because the gloves were so big they could hardly lift them. Zack had a hampster cake that was really cute. He had a great time celebrating with family and friends.

Easter 2010

Easter morning we woke up to lots of snow. The kids found their Easter eggs and ran outside to make a snow fort.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been having some technical issues.....hopefully they are resolved for now.....I have lots of pictures and posts to catch up on so it may take me a while.......

Spring Fever

I have had spring fever the last few weeks so I convinced Jim to go camping last weekend. It was a fast trip but we had a great time and are looking forward to more trips soon.

Ellie and Trevor were in a school play called "The Principal and the Pea". Ellie was Alice, one of the bothered bunch and Trevor was a stage manager. They spent many hours practicing and did a fantastic job! Grandma Elliott drove all the way down for the play and said it was well worth the trip.

Happy Birthday Jim!

This is a little belated but I wanted to post a few pics of Jim's 36th birthday. We had dinner with a few family members and some great laughs (thanks for being a great sport sweetie!) What do you give a guy who has everything??? Jim's mom came up with the most creative gift. His phone message says...leave a brief message....and since he is always on the phone we all have heard that message a million times. So, his mom gave him a pair of whitie-tighties with a "brief" message on them. Jim, being the big kid and great sport he is, had to model them (over his pants of course) for everyone. What a great laugh! We love you Jim!!!

Grandpa's 80th birthday party

Last weekend Alisha and I traveled up to Tooele to celebrate Grandpa Elliott's 8oth birthday with our family. It was really fun to see our aunts and cousins that were able to attend. It was really funny when Grandpa first came in because he was being onery and kept saying it was too early for dinner. We were all seated waiting for them to arrive and ready to suprise him but he wanted to sit in a certain spot(not where we were sitting). Mom told him that it would be better over there...(why would it be better over there...these seats are more comfortable) ...finally they were able to persuade him to walk over where we were all seated. Grandpa was so excited to have everyone there and kept grinning like a little kid. Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you!!!

President's Day was a beautiful day here in Cedar City. I have had spring fever the last few weeks so I convinced Jim and the kids that we needed to get out and go hiking. We drove down to Red Cliffs and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in the sun.
