Nissa's just got married in San Diego! Nissa and Jason got married on the beach at Sunset Cliffs. Nissa is so beautiful and looked even more beautiful in her wedding gown. At the reception I wanted to say a few word to the newly married couple, although when I turned to look at Nissa tears were streaming down her cheeks. That made me start to cry! The words I planned to say may not have flowed so eloquently as I'd like because we were both in tears. Nissa is one of my long time friends I have known forever. I am so happy for her and Jason and know they will have a wonderful future together.

The Farm

One funny story of the farm I remember is when I was about 10 years old. It was summer, hot and we just drove 14 hours from California. Right when we drove up all the cousins and uncles ran up saying "come follow us to watch the calf be born!" All I remember is standing with about 10 people around the barn all watching the cow give birth. The next thing I remember, I'm laying on the ground in hay and dry manure! I can't believe no one saw me pass out/ faint/ whatever I was down for the count. I can remember walking into the farm house by myself and my mom asking where have I have been? I remember being mad that no one saw me laying in dry manure...


No more dairy cows. It's like a ghost town without them. Now there are only beef cows with one purpose in life... Sad. I don't think I can eat any meat after seeing these cute little baby cows.







This is where I first learned to drive... a tractor




I love the old dairy farm my Mom grew up on in Rupert Idaho. It brings back so many great memories. It has been years and years since I've been there. We went back for a little family reunion for the 4Th of July, all my mom's brother and sister's were there.

Ballons Galore...

Last Thursday we got up at the CRACK OF DAWN, to watch the hot air balloons take off. It was part of Provo's Freedom Festival for the 4Th. It was so fun to see them fill them up with hot air. There were too many to count, and looked so beautiful as they ascended. As a child I remember them doing this behind our house because of the open field. I would love to go up in one, but feel like I would need a backpack parachute to ware just in case...

The quilt

My parents were in town for Adelaide's baby blessing. One thing my mom wanted to do was have me pick out fabric for a quilt she wants to make me. My mom is making one for all her daughters. My great grandmother taught my mom to sew at a early age. She is very good and wished I had her talent. While were were at the fabric store, picking out 6 different fabrics and was the most stressful thing for me. It's not like I can just return it the next day, like I do everything else when I have buyers remorse. After 2 hours of picking out the perfect fabric, I am so excited and can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks Mom!
