I think I sneaked (or is that snuck, or should it be stunk??) one over on my fellow shipmates!? Either that, or I am attempting to hit a very high note in a song!!!??? Or maybe I am attempting to emulate the sound of a Humback Whale!?!? All I know is, I had a head of hair back then!!!

Cousins

My kids are so excited that the cousins are closer. I am glad that Carly FINALLY moved closer to me. It is nice to let the cousins play together. I know we will be moving further away but at least she is in Rio Rancho and I can see her more often than when she was living in Santa Fe. Once I move I will still have to come to town and Joe's office won't move so I think we will still see eachother. It was nice to have Devin visit with his cousins. It was also nice to have Mom and Dad here. I like the fact that they have their summers off as well. We get the chance to spend more time with them.

YW Camp - 2009

Me and mom accompanied the YW of our ward to camp this year. The camp was held at Tenney Ranch, just northwest of Heber off of 277. It was a great time. Mom spent some time in the pond when one of the girls decided to swamp the canoe. I was a cook. Mom went as the Laurel's advisor. I had to teach the four basic knots, the square knot, the bowline knot, the sheet bend knot, and the half hitch and double half hitch. I also learned how to tie more knots for bracelets. I taught the girls how to tie the cobra weave bracelet. It was a lot of fun. I would go again, especially if it was back at Tenney Ranch.

Summer Vacation!!

Me and mom are on summer break from school. I love this job!!! We celebrated with a party at several of mom's friend's homes. We don't have much planned other than to spend quality time with our children and their children. Devin will be coming again this summer, so we will plan a road trip with him to NM to see his cousins. I plan to make my annual bike ride out to Monterey for the races again. I may take a trip through Devil's Highway, the old route 666, which is now AZ191. I want to rack up some miles on my bike this summer so I can help AZ accumulate mileage for the BMW mileage contest. School went well for both of us. We were reminded that the nice thing about teaching is, it has a beginning and an end!! Knowing that, it is easy to work only 9 months of the year!!! We hope all are well and think of Keith Spaulding every day as we offer prayers in his behalf!!
