Best Hubby and Daddy!!!

Derf always has time for the kids. He loves the adventures and trips we take with the family. In this picture we went to arches with friends. Notice that Nat and Kall are holding hands. How sweet!! One time they were so naughty that we tied them together with string. They have better memories about that then I do and it would be great for them to post about it sometime.

Here we are at Disneyland with our favorite friend, Mickey!! Derf works hard so that we can have play time as a family.

Derf man has a love for animals and our kids enjoyed parenting the new puppies that came along.

Here we are a young family. The little baby is Joshy. He looked so cute on his blessing day in his little Tuxedo. Derf has and always will be the best hubby and daddy. He works so hard for our family everyday.

The early years

Our wedding day==27 years ago Mar. 15. My mother added about 70 feet worth of beading on my dress. My bouquet was a replica of the one she had when she got married. It had two white orchids in the middle surrounded by red roses.

Newly Married. Provo Temple. Happy Day even if it was so cold.....

One of my favorite pictures of Fred. We are up at Nordic Valley...now Wolf Mountain. There is a stake camp there and we had gone up for an Elder's Quorum Party. I just love that red hair. Funny we didn't get any red heads of our own.

My hubby through the years...

The cutest red headed boy ever.

Totally Disgusting

Fred and Limmie enjoy a brisk walk everyday. Being an animal owner one must assume the responsibility of cleaning up after your animal. Keeping this in mind Fred is always prepared and takes with him plenty of "doggy" bags and bags with treats in them for his beloved beagle.
They enjoy these outings three times a day and it's great exercise for the both of them. I was home one day when Fred told me of a hilarious but disgusting moment related to dog walking that day. Usually out on his walks there are trash receptacles where he can deposit what Limmie has left behind. This particular day he was not as fortunate and placed the bag in his pocket. ( I never do that!!) I always keep it out so that it does not permeate my clothing. Needless to say Fred came home grabbed a bag from his pocket and placed it in the fridge. He then went to get the bag of treats (he had cut up some cooked elk for a treat and placed it in a bag)and put them away. When he opened the fridge a second time he then discovered that he had put the dog poop in the fridge instead of the treats!! Luckily it wasn't in the fridge very long or I would have destroyed everything in it!! Totally Disgusting!!!! Never, ever try that one at your house.

The Last Lecture

I'm currently reading the book, The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Some of my favorite quotes from the book so far are:

No matter how bad things are, you can always make them worse.

Just because you're in the drivers seat doesn't mean you have to run people over.

You've got to get the fundamentals down, because otherwise the fancy stuff is not going to work.

When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that mean's they've given up on you.

When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

Happy Birthday kallee

Happy Birthday to our goofer gal Kallee. You certainly keep the family laughing and dancing!!
Kallee has many wonderful talents and she is eager to always share them. She is a hard worker and a girl with lots of surprises. As the years go by she reveals to us some of her "secrets" from childhood. She liked to play with matches and gasoline in the garage. She would build little fires out of the combustible materials she could find. She would play for hours with Barbies, in the ditch with the neighbors or any sport. She is an all-around party waiting to happen!!
Have lot's of fun on your birthday!!
