Louisiana State University

The special teams coach from LSU came to watch Chad punt yesterday. It is a really big deal to have him come to Snow College. Division 1 school's in the SEC Conference don't usually recruit from the west. Chad says he kicked well and his best kick was into the wind and landed on the 2nd yard line. Good Luck Chad !

Shining Star Kreations & Alterations

This weekend I spent some time working on the paper work to get my business license. There is so much fine print to read. I ordered my new sewing machine last week and should see it any day now. I have designed my business cards and just need to print them out. Once I have all the information gathered and submitted it will take 4 to 5 weeks to process and recieve my license.
I'm working on gathering pictures of all the dresses I have worked on so they can be posted on my new business blog. ShinningStarKreations.blogspot.com.

Easter 2010

Well the star of any family gathering anymore is Miss Bridget. Since there is no other competition for her at this point she gets all the attention! Auntie Dawn and Uncle Ric

Jason and Bridget

My friend Debbie and her daughter Tawnie came in to SLC for General Conference. They stayed with us and left Sunday afternoon. Debbie and I have been friends since we were around 6 years old.

The family!

Spring Break When You're 20 Something

Kalli and 5 friends went on a 7 day Mexican Riviera Cruise over Spring Break. She had so much fun. These lovely ladies are Karly, Kylie, Kalli & Tiffany. Needless to say they would go back in a heartbeat!Preparing for the Zip Line

The shuttle from Ship to Shore

Kevin went on his cruise the day Kalli returned. He went with about 8 of his friends. He had the time of his life. Oh to be young with a little cash to spend . It's to bad these are such unattractive men.

ATV Jamboree in 2010 Hurricane Utah

Mike and I decided to go to Southern Utah last week to participate in an ATV Jamboree. It is a yearly organized ride with about 300 riders. We pulled our trailer and through the ATV's on the back of the truck and away we went for 5 days. It was so fun to get away. We were exhausted every night and used a bunch of muscle we have not used in a while so we were sore to say the least. We spent most of our time riding in the mud. We rode through huge puddles of muddy water every day. We were filthy. I've never had mud on the top of my helmet before. We brought the right clothes so we were dry and warm for the most part. Not everyone was as prepared as we were unfortunately~ Over looking Sand Hollow~


Me bundled up to ride~

Friday was my birthday. After our ride we took our chairs down to the water and just sat in the sun for a while, enjoying a candy bar and soda !

Happy Birthday to me~
