For Denise

I don't really care. It doesn't make any difference to me at all. I haven't watched a single game. But when I read that the Lakers beat the Spurs and lead the series 3-1 I knew my friend Denise would be upset. So this is just a little Spurs CHEER from Idaho. (and Denise...I'm crossing my fingers for you!)

GO SPURS!!!

The Babies Are On Vacation

The children have gone off to Colorado for a week of fun with the Grandp's. First stop, Grandma and Grandpa Mort's house. Today they took a picnic and headed to one of my favorite places, Rifle Falls.

Silver Creek

I last fished Silver Creek in the Colorado Rockies over 11 years ago... I went back yesterday.

The last time I fished it, I was the news editor of the Mountain Mail in Salida, Colo., and Liza and I were childless, and about five months away from leaving Colorado for California. Now, we've got two great kids and life is good...

Thankfully, Silver Creek is, too...

Cameron's Graduation

It's my birthday

It was a lovely day. I got some flowers and some T-Shirts and some matching earrings from my Tall Friend Amy. My lovely Mother-In-Law sent me a cool heart rate monitor that is great for working out (I burned 782 calories at my workout today) My Mommy sent me some shiney copper bracelets and some beautiful bowls with sheep on them. (I do love things with sheep on them!) Chris and the babies had my car detailed and when we went to pick it up it was not acceptable. So we were very brave and took it back and said "do it again!" It looks very nice now and I love a clean car!

We went to the chinese place for dinner and had the whole place to ourselves...bought a lottery ticket with our lucky fortune cookie numbers, scratched a ticket and won $10!!!

Mrs. Nelson just came by with a large print book (LOL) called Everyday Greatness. It has inspirational quotes and stories and I love it.

Wayne took me out to lunch for a chicken sandwich at Rupes and I drank a gallon of iced tea. Doesn't that sound like a great birthday/

Oh, and I stopped by the bank only to find my friends singing and bearing gifts. (I love living in Idaho Falls - and I love my friends!)

Cameron's 6th Birthday

Mother's Day '08 - A Carpumentary

Mother's Day Carp

Unbelievable!

I need a Kleenex!

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?'

God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.'

God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.

'Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?'

God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'

God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?'

God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.

''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.'

God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.

'At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Our Life

I always think it's funny when I pick up the paper and see something from our life. This one just cracked me up!
