Happy Leap Day/Year

Trying to explain Leap Year to Carson turned out to be totally IMPOSSIBLE......After confusing him royally I decided to let his teacher do the explaining.

To most of us it just means we get one more day of pay in February....right?

What goes around~Comes around!

I had to give this picture a post of it's own. I don't know about you, but I know when I deliver meals into families homes while they are down, they never look like this. My Mom's visiting teachers brought her dinner in on Sunday and it was beautiful. Looks like a Martha Stewart add to me. I guess I need to step it up in the visiting teaching department. Really though, all of her meals were wonderful. It made me realize how strong the Relief Society and Visiting Teaching organizations are in the church. It was amazing to see the love and support that was shown towards my Mom. It goes to show, What goes around~Comes around!

MY TRIP HOME TO UTAH

My trip home to Utah could be summed up in two words. Quiet and Relaxing. It was nice to escape my crazy, loud lifestyle back home and enjoy some quiet time in Utah. I'm happy to announce that my Mom is recovering remarkably well. What woman has her chest opened up, her heart removed, stitched up a thousand times, and then tries to do the dishes a week later???YEP-That would be my Mom!

5 Hooper's, 4 decks of cards, 2 tired pregnant women, 1 game of Nerts,

PRICELESS.
Here we are enjoying one of our favorite restaurants, The Pizza Factory. Gotta love those bread sticks!
YAY, Snow! Being away from the snow for a while has actually caused me to really miss it. I know you Utahn's have had enough, but I loved it!

Young Women's President

Today I was called as the first Young Women's President in the Collierville, TN. 2nd ward (our ward just recently split last sunday) and all I can say is WOW!!!!! I'm still a little overwhelmed and quite scared actually. Most of you who know me know that standing up in public and talking to others is a huge fear of mine. Hopefully that will change soon though. I'm way excited for my new calling and am looking forward to all of the new learning experiences that I am going to have. This is all so new to me but I'm up for a good challenge and grateful for this wonderful oppurtunity. I love the Young Women and I love the organization.

wooooo......that superman!

NBA ALLSTAR SLAM DUNK CONTEST WINNER DWIGHT HOWARD

Holy cow, did any of you see this guy on TV last night? He's amazing. I'm glad Dave talked me into watching the slam dunk contest. It was very entertaining and if I wouldn't have sat down to watch I wouldn't have seen Dwight Howard literally fly through the air like Superman. I think he's right up there with MJ now. As Soldier Boy would say............yooooooooouuuuuuuu, SUPERMAN!

GOLDILOCKS.....not today!

This picture is so funny to me, because this is SOOOO not Ryleigh. She's usually my quiet, calm, shy girl. I had just straightened her hair and she was so excited. People are constantly stopping and touching her curls and commenting on them, so I think this was a fun change for her. Her hair is so naturally curly though that it didn't last long-(as you can see from the pic ). About an hour later it was frizzy and sticking straight out. It was cute while it lasted and I couldn't believe how long her hair acutally was. It grew about 4 inches. It's funny what straight hair does. I think she aged on me a couple of years.

Happy V-day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
