Please, no autographs

This was the Daily Herald January 10, 1990. We were pretty awesome!

Recently me and four of my friends from my early teens went and enjoyed an afternoon together. This is just one of the fun memories we shared over lunch. From left to right Me, Helen (well her legs), and Brittney.Another memory shared is that of being dropped off at the mall on many occasions. We love to take pictures there, and buy a new flavor of wet lips. You remember the roll on gloss that was flavored. YUMMY! 1989!

This last memory comes with a sincere apology to my Mom. The girls remember me being very picky about a certain "greasy Bambi restaurant" and my mom took me to two other places till the princess found exactly what was pleasing to her palate. She should have let me starve!! It was such a great trip, thanks Mom for putting up with me. Also thanks Camille and Maryann for remembering me at my worst!! ha ha

There was a time, that not seeing them daily seemed impossible. Now 15 years has passed, things have changed for each of us dramatically. I feel very fortunate to be able to call these extraordinary women my friends!

Happy Thanksgiving, try the pie.

Wow, where does the time go? It's almost Thanksgiving again. This year comes with some sadness. It is the first Thanksgiving without my Dad, and my Grandma Ollerton. I am so glad I got to spend last year with both of them at my parents house. My Dad always used to get excited this time of year for mincemeat pie. We used to be so grossed out by the thought of it. I used to think it was made out of deer meat, and raisins. YUCK!! Every year he would offer me some, and every year I would reply in the same sarcastic voice. "Oh could I please have some?" I never did try it.
I do have so many things to be thankful for. I am especially thankful for the gospel. I know that when this life ends, I will spend many special occasions with my Dad. Who knows maybe this year I will try some "mincemeat" pie.

Welcome to Nursery

Yesterday was Adelynn's first time in nursery. I was worried that she wouldn't want to leave me. Yea right, the second she caught site of the toys and kids she willingly went right to the stranger on the other side of the door. I was glad she didn't cry! I went to check on her one time, because in my mind she had to be crying by now. Nope still fine.
I even let my class out a few minutes early to go get her, she actually fell asleep. I was thinking wow she loved it! Then as I was picking her up the lady says "she might have a few bruises on her." WHAT!!??? She goes on to explain, "there was a little boy picking on her, his mom had to come get him." So of coarse I overreact and worry that she was hit in the head and that's why she fell asleep. I guess there are a few kids in there that are a little rough. So next Sunday she is puttin' on the gloves!!

And they called it puppy love.

This is just one of 10! They are almost 6 weeks old. So anyone in need of a puppy please let me know. They are all like this one with white on paws or on their back. Super cute!! Addy goes crazy when she goes out and they walk all around her. Just another fun day on the farm!
