An Event You Don't Want to Miss

Zach and I will be in SLC on May 5th around 10 a.m. We would love to have anyone who can come and spend some time with us at Cathy and Jason's. (We're so glad Cathy and Jason have a big house and love family.) It would be great to be able to go to the temple with anyone that could. Zach goes into the MTC at 1:00 on Wednesday. They ask that you don't bring extended family, but I might need someone to hold my hand. I didn't look back when I left home, but now I see what it must have been like for Mom. It's a lot harder being the parent. Hope to see you all!

My new mid-life crisis

Alright all of you experienced and wise people - I am having a mid-life crisis. At least, I think I am. I haven't bought an expensive sports car or run off with my secretary or bought a new wardrobe of expensive clothes. But I am nearly 35 years old, and lately I have had these questions - what the heck am I doing with my life?!?

In 10 years, Meg will be graduating and Janie will be preparing for her Senior year in high school, Henry & Sam will be OUT of the house, and I will only be 45 years old. So, this all hit me a few days ago, and I am wondering what I am going to do with my life for the 20 years between Janie's graduation and Russ's retirement. I always thought I'd do something, have some career, but what to do? These days all of my kidlets are in school - gone like they will be in just a tiny little decade - and lately I have been thinking about what I am doing with my life: Who am I? Where am I going? Here I sit all alone just wondering why. Is this a mid-life crisis or what? :)

So, at the risk of sounding like a freak (it's not that serious, I'm just wondering about the purpose of my life is all), does anyone have some experience with this? How does one decide what they want to do with the rest of their lives? I'm depending on you guys! Thank you, oh wise and compassionate ones. Love from Camille

New Numbers Take Two

Hi Family,
Nate and I just want to see how many cell phones we can get in a month. We switched to Verizon and now have new numbers. Cindy's cell: 801-678-6337 and Nate's cell: 801-678-6450. One day we may even get a land line. Hope you're all doing well!

Have fun on your trip.










For those of you who don't know Boyd, LeAnn and Michael are setting out for a trip to go SCUBA diving this week.
I hope you have a great trip, don't get too cold and you remember to keep you wetsuit tight to keep out the jelly fish.

Here's your SCUBA diving self help tip for the day.

Pee in your wet suit after you get in the water. This will do 2 things.
One, it will warm you up. You'll forget how gross you think it is after you're freezing and you feel that lovely 98 degree liquid warming your mid section.

Two, the amonia in your urine will help keep the jellyfish from stinging you and if you've already been stung it will alleviate the burning.

29 days

i wasn't aware that waiting for a mission call was such an endurance challenge...they could make a reality show out of it...

it seems that in the process of waiting for my call, the "fridge" has become my own personal blog...i guess you all are afraid that if you post, it will jinx the process...well that's ok....it gives me something to do in the hours before and after the mailman disappoints me everyday...

...29 days...

geez

Great New Game for Cat Lovers




This is great game. Very fun. Especially if you are a cat lover like me.

Launch the hapless orange kitten into a field filled with bombs, trampolines, and kitten-eating venus fly-traps and see how long he lasts.

Hiking in St. George

Hi All,
I thought I'd share some pictures from my fun hike in Kolob Canyon a couple weeks ago. It was so beautiful way up in the mountains. We saw a cave, lots of animal tracks, snow, and some great scenery. I hope you enjoy these! Love, Jeri

Brace Face

Before....

And AFTER!

Russ is a BRACE FACE for the next 24 months. Janie is horrified, Henry is excited to have a common friend, Meg says, "It doesn't matter. He's still the same old Dad," and Sam says, "Cool!" since he is next in line!
