California Dreamin'

Zach loved going out to eat at Oscar's. Maybe because he played on this car while we ate! :) Cheap babysitter...

Here's a picture of me and my lil' bro Cody. He isn't so little anymore. We are here getting ready to ship him off to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in about a month. He goes through the temple on Friday! Yea Cody! Way to go. Well, I am off to enjoy some more sunshine!

This is mainly for Justin to see how cute his little boy, and wife, still are! I miss you and love you honey!

Yea Kamry!

Here is Zach at Moxie's celebrating Kamry's graduation! I absolutely LOVE this picture!
Here is the gang celebrating Kamry's graduation with her bachelors. She is an RN now! :) You go girl. Sorry you were at work Justin! It was delicious!

SORRY THE QUALITY IS SO BAD. AT LEAST YOU GET THE POINT THOUGH!

It's Official!

As of today, I am proud to announce that after all the paperwork, phone calls, medical exams, photos, and fees I am officially a Permanent Resident of Canada! I had my "landing" interview today. That means I am basically a citizen, but I can't vote. I can work, come and go, do whatever...although I think I will just continue to do what I have been doing. It is great to have the paperwork over though.

A Dream Come True!

Today one of my wildest dreams came true. I went to Michael's and bought a tub of 101 cookie cutters! ...with my 40% off coupon of course. What a deal! I am so excited. There are all sorts of cookie shapes...all the numbers, letters, halloween, valentines day, random bears and trucks and duckies, a hand and foot, Christmas cookie cutters, and even Easter/Spring, flags and stars, circles, dinosaurs. I love it. AND they are all color coded. Nice.

...All at Zach's Expense

Zach survived his initiation as a Low boy today. We have fantastic pictures of Jason, Justin, and Richard with buzzed heads and their pants to their armpits when they were young, only that was for real. We even have video of Jason talking about his Christmas presents constantly hiking his pants closer and closer to his chin. Tonight we revisted the good ol' days and Zach seemed to like it! Not as much as Kamry though in the first picture! Gotta love it.

I'm a reader! I read! I'm reading! (courtesy of "What about Bob" only he's a sailor)

Well, I have started to read. The craze right now, so I hear, is Stephanie Meyers Twilight series. I love it! I read 2 books, both about 500 or more pages in less than 1 week! My house was a mess, but I read! I have always wanted to be well read for my children and teach them to love reading, so I thought I better set a good example. And what better to do that by then to read about vampires and love! Hopefully, I will move into the classics soon, but this is a start. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Until then, I look forward to reading book 3, then book 4 when it comes out August 2, and then to watching the movie on December 12!

That Darn Cat

Okay, forgive me...but I am not an animal lover at the moment. Our stupid...sorry about the garbage word Dad...neighbor's cat just loves to lounge around the neighborhood and own it all. Justin and Zach were outside working on the lawn, when I heard Zach screaming. That dumb feline scratched Zach. (I am sure he didn't do ANYTHING!) :) Luckily Zach has great blinking reflexes and managed to get scratches on his nose, above his eye, below his eye, and on his cheek. I got scratched by a cat when I was a toddler too. I still have the scar, used as a part in my hair. It was perfectly off center!

I AM A MOTHER!

Well, I just wanted to encourage all the moms/pre-moms out there to READ THIS BOOK if you haven't yet. It is a great encourager and I loved every minute of it. It made me feel the power I have as a mom, that I am not JUST a mom or homemaker but I am a shaper of life. Give it a shot. It is only a little over 100 pages so it is a quick empowering read! Tell me what you think!

UTAH!

We went on an awesome vacation to Utah right after Justin's school got out. We were gone for about 2 weeks, so sorry if you were missing blog updates, but we were too busy partying and enjoying the weather, the flowers, and the people. We went down for a family reunion on my side, to see basically half of Justin's family that lives there, for the birth of Jolene's baby Leah, for Mariah's wedding, and basically just to relax, shop, and play because we love Utah! Here is the Low-down:

THE TRIP DOWN

We drove from Edmonton to Cardston and spent the weekend there. Then we went on the long-haul. Luckily, we were able to take Robbie's "good friend" Cammie back home to Provo after her wonderful Cardston visit. She was SUCH a big help and the drive seemed to go by a lot faster with her there. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP CAMMIE! She fed, cleaned, and played with Zach...and that is tiring! She's wonderful and Zach loved her. I hope you aren't mad I put this picture on Cammie, it was the only one I had and I think it is SO sweet. You say the word, and I will take it off, but I think you look cute when you sleep, just like Zach! I thought it was so cute how they were kinda holding hands!
Zach loved the strawberry frozen yogurt almost as much as his parents do!
