I Hope Everyone had a Fabulous Mother's Day!

I was hoping to get this posted earlier (like still on Mother's Day) but it looks like I will be a few minutes late.  Oh well!

I got exactly what I wanted for Mother's Day!

I've been wanting to go take pictures at Temple Square for almost a month now.

It was Beautiful!

I think I like Temple Square at this time of year even more than the lights at Christmas Time.

How cute can it get?

I love this picture!

Sweetest Kids EVER!

Pretty enough to be in a magazine!

Bonus!

brief update

Just letting you all know what is happening way up here in Nowhereville, I mean Billings, Montana. For those that don't know, Brynlee has been found and is on her way to live with her former foster family, Jamie and Paul Bowers. She is stopping over for a short visit with Grandma, Alison, Candace, and the rest of the gang there. We are wishing her the best and that she will finally find what she has been searching for. Keep her in your prayers. Our family had to make a VERY difficult decision this week. Savanna was getting sicker and was more and more painful each day. She had bad hips, and really painful joints. She was in so much pain that she couldn't go to the bathroom anymore without severe shaking and was always dirty in the hind quarters. She was panting all day every day from the pain she was in. She was always tripping and falling, had a really hard time just getting up, and some days she just didn't even try to get up. She was also throwing up blood on occasion and was getting runny stool several times a week. We had to do what was best for her. She died this past Tuesday--May 4, 2010. It has not been easy and I still find myself in tears sometimes (especially when things like sympathy cards from the vets office show up or the therapist asks about her) but she deserved for me, in particular, not be selfish. We all took some pictures with her before she left so indulge me as I share them with you all.

Alison...

Just letting you know that I e-mailed the recipes you wanted to your hotmail account.

Linc's A Winner...

...but we already knew that! He wrote, illustrated and created a book that he entered into the PBS Young Authors and Illustrators Contest, AND HE WON! They loved his story and even said his was "head and shoulders above the rest." I'm so proud of him, and he is so proud of himself. His story will be read on the air at the beginning of June (date to be annouced as it is still in production.) He gets his own screening before it airs and a DVD to take home. We are so exited!!
