What to do if you're feeling down...

Tell your very righteous husband to pray for you.

Make dinner for a friend.

Visit a less active neighbor.

Play with a darling grand daughter.

Make something yummy to eat.

Go to choir practice.

It works like a charm....especially the husband praying part, only I didn't have to tell him. He just knew. And I knew this morning when the gift of peace and joy came, what he had done. I love you Tim...you are the best part of my life.

Sick Baby Sis...

It's hard to believe that this picture from Aaron and Steph's wedding dinner shows a healthy and happy Amber just a few short weeks ago since she has spent this past week in the ICU at Utah Valley Hospital with a severe kidney infection and double pneumonia. It has been such a worry to our whole family to see her be so very sick when normally she is the energizer bunny of the group. I am so grateful that she has returned home tonight to her family. What a blessing to see John as such an advocate for Amber and also a loving husband. The Stohltons have been amazing to care for the twins the past ten days. Amber said "in between" the place where pain medication begins and ends she saw dad at the door checking in on her. He had tender things to say to his daughter. I'm so grateful for those both here and "there" who are nearby when we need them. Thank heavens it is not time for this important mama to go anywhere but back home to where she is so loved and needed.

"He's My Favorite!"

When Sharalee asked Rosa if she would like to go up to the cabin with their family OR stay overnight with Grandma and Grandpa so she could go to Emery's birthday party, she quickly responded, "Oh I want to go stay with GRANDPA...he's my favorite! (No surprise there.) Rosa definitely got her bucket filled by grandpa this weekend. He played games, took her on 2 bike rides to get ice cream, did crafts, the whole nine yards. Now if she could just play golf. There is nothing that warms my heart more than watching Tim play with the grandkids. Rosa, he's MY favorite too!

Megan and Taylor's Wedding

Megan and Taylor were married July 3, 2010 at the Alpine Arts Center. They had a beautiful wedding and were surrounded by many loving friends and family. We are so happy for them and wish them much happiness in their lives together!

Aaron and Stephanie

Love is definitely in the air. Aaron returned home from his mission just in time for Megan and Taylor's wedding and was engaged to Stephanie Meyers within a week. Their wedding is August 27th in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple. We love Steph and all of us are excited for them.

Trip to Singapore

It's always an adventure to fly half way around the world to a place we have never been before. It took us nearly 24 hours travel time.The actual flight time was 18 hours, then we had layovers on top of that. We were comfortable but tired.

We arrived at night and had a good night's sleep and then the next day took a bus city tour to see the sites.

On the second day we went to see the big hotel (the Marina Bay Sands) that Tim has doors in. It is massive! It has a large ship on top of three towers with a swimming pool that looks like it goes right over the edge. The project from Won-door was worth $1 million but the entire building/structure is worth over $6 billion. It is crazy how much wealth is here. They have laws against chewing gum and throwing it on the street. (An $80 fine if you're caught) In fact, they don't SELL gum here!

We had dinner with the people who installed the doors. They are lovely Chinese people but the food has been a little hard to eat.
