Memorial Day

Kelli, your dad and I had a busy, productive day. Kelli mowed our lawn and Neil mowed Pedro's across the street. We also targeted Kelli's bedroom and tackled different projects. Neil built a corner shelf for Kelli to use as a makeup center. Kelli took her mirror from the other bedroom, painted the edges brown to match her walls and I helped by painting the shelf brown to match. Neil secured the mirror with some hardware. He also hung the curtain rod across her closet for the curtains that I pieced together with a matching panel to her window curtains, and some chocolate brown curtains Emily had given us. I made a HUGE mistake when cutting a piece out and added some extra labor to the project, but they are done and hung and don't look all that bad, considering. Neil also hung Kelli's metal candle sconce holder and we went to Lowe's to get the eye hooks for her picture frames. We also did a little yard work, and celebrated with pizza for supper.
Trigger and Lalah (spelling?) survived their visit with us while Justin and Emily were at the Oregon Coast. We enjoyed some "howling" quartets when Quito and O'Malley joined them from time to time.
We hope everyone else had a great day and took time to remember those from our personal and national heritage who have left with a precious heritage to honor and build upon.
LOVE YOU!!!!

Mom checks in

This "Blog" is SO COOL!!! I am really enjoying all the pictures and letters! Thank you all for your very thoughtful mother's day gifts and cards! I felt very pampered and appreciated on Sunday! How blessed I am to have such a wonderful family!
Allyson, Zach and Josie left earlier today after coming for a quick overnight visit. Yesenia Sueyras is in town working on her home across the street and Allyson came to help. I enjoyed "grandma duty" while she was here. Zach hung out while Josie helped water flowers, jump on the trampoline, "read" books to me and watch TV. I also enjoyed the opportunity to go to Ashley's soccer game on Saturday. She was awesome, assisting with two goals- the last one being in the final seconds of the game and the winning point! We had lunch at Subway (Ryan's treat) and it was fun to visit for awhile. Wish everyone could have joined us (Neil & I, Justin & Emily, Wade and Kelli) for supper on Sunday. Neil grilled pork chops and hamburgers to go with chips, salad, potatoes and sherbet. I put my feet up, read the paper and savored the moment! After dinner we played a rousing game of "Farkle" and congratulated Emily on her victory over a close second place to Wade.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES....FAMILY TIME IS THE BEST TIME!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi Mom,

I just wanted to check out the new blog spot Lezlie told me about! I think it will be a great way to keep in touch with everyone :-). I hope you have a great Mother's Day. I got your card in the mail earlier this week, thank you. I believe you should be getting something from Emily from partly me later today if you haven't received it already! Wish I could be there to celebrate the day with you. My children and husband have already been super nice and spoiled me this morning. The kids are going to sing with the primary to all the moms during sacrament meeting. I better get going to church. Just wanted to say Hi.

Love you,
Jodi
