We were there from open to close. Our neighbors, the Jenkins were able to come on the same day as us and so we enjoyed being with them. Also Katherine, our other daughter (friend) was able to come too. All the kids hung out all day. My family really enjoyed it. Aunt Tammy and Brianna came too. We sure missed James. Kim and McKenna showed up around 2 and stayed with us until close. It is always fun seeing the cousins and friends have fun together and form great memories. I know we won't forget it!<br /><br />Entering the Park<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmGXy9EJ2FwvIfrUl933ZxweLI2_PqBsfp4_ABcBz0G6sLB4_EDCn__Pe0k_d_YPbol2qOVVF_WHFjhdX1PhSgCe7W-RgfVN_PlME9SLRq73g5-LR_k21r8s5vqE4SunDJsYXXeJB-wvm/s1600-h/100_2721.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221867035084849554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmGXy9EJ2FwvIfrUl933ZxweLI2_PqBsfp4_ABcBz0G6sLB4_EDCn__Pe0k_d_YPbol2qOVVF_WHFjhdX1PhSgCe7W-RgfVN_PlME9SLRq73g5-LR_k21r8s5vqE4SunDJsYXXeJB-wvm/s400/100_2721.jpg" border="0" /></a> Katherine and Ashleigh doing poses on the stage in our pavillion<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7drAAI-DE-1dR6igNT7CIKV3frnWLPEMlZxF8WBTsvDaARoKMVjNFQXN_QyBLVgzzxspKm9MHsIs4v5N4_qiJe7kJu6KEIiRRbtZ1DfUlBUPlJaPBlTSrTUOwIZ_nx2AUV_bZacTh-Q4/s1600-h/100_2722.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221867039705301538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt7drAAI-DE-1dR6igNT7CIKV3frnWLPEMlZxF8WBTsvDaARoKMVjNFQXN_QyBLVgzzxspKm9MHsIs4v5N4_qiJe7kJu6KEIiRRbtZ1DfUlBUPlJaPBlTSrTUOwIZ_nx2AUV_bZacTh-Q4/s400/100_2722.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LGq8ma3vqrAaU9iIKswyrJgBX0_sAfxFdCllz_Gw0psVNpfyAMq-WuhP0ycmxjbB45EecJPNvhJr1wWfAUXFyz1KFnsTvnGqjAzAFpaE4te8UsZyoyJcIwiGEQCwLARW4CzFbQfm225K/s1600-h/100_2723.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221867047135313090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LGq8ma3vqrAaU9iIKswyrJgBX0_sAfxFdCllz_Gw0psVNpfyAMq-WuhP0ycmxjbB45EecJPNvhJr1wWfAUXFyz1KFnsTvnGqjAzAFpaE4te8UsZyoyJcIwiGEQCwLARW4CzFbQfm225K/s400/100_2723.jpg" border="0" /></a> First ride of the day....The Odyssey.

We have been doing summer movies and swimming. That is usually the gist of our summer fun because I always use up Eddie's vacation time with my calling in young women's. I've already been to youth conference and will be going to girls camp in 2 weeks. But times are a changin'! This will be my last year going to girls camp. I have a new calling.........RS 2nd counselor/enrichment counselor. Tonight was YW's and I really missed being there. I have been in for 8 yrs. That's 8 yrs. of going to weekly activities. 8 yrs. of youth conferences and girl's camps. I've loved it!! This has been a hard transition, but I know Heavenly Father will help me adjust. I am definitely in new territory!!!<br /><br />We are going to lagoon as a family through Eddie's work and that will probably be the last big thing we do for awhile. I will try to get pictures and post them next week. We had a blast last year so I am hoping for some fun.<br /><br />Also, last week Eddie and I were able to go on a 2 day retreat for our 22nd anniversary. It was wonderful! 22 years!! I still can't believe it. It has been a great ride. We went to a little, very charming bed and breakfast in the middle of SLC. We were the only ones there so it was a nice and quiet time. Amid a house full of kids, 4 of them grown ups, it's nice to have some quiet, peaceful moments. We ate at the Market Street Broiler (fabulous), The Lion House, Gandolfo's, and Olive Garden.

I haven't even had any time to post anything with pictures for Easter. I'm just real stretched for time right now, so forgive me if you never see Easter pics until next Easter. My choir tour wasn't interesting enough for pictures, so I didn't take any. (for shame!) <br /><br />So, in a nutshell....I'm too busy to blog right now. I will catch up later.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00741577360401794890noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615426204746343628.post-72424480093355433782008-03-23T20:38:00.000-07:002008-03-23T20:39:37.311-07:00Easter pics will have to wait, I'm off for tourChoir tour that is.

The last few months, trapped in Uglyville while Peris was in New Pretty Town, had been torture. Tally decided she had to see him, even if for only a few minutes, and escaped into New Pretty Town. She did manage to see Peris very briefly and he had changed inside and out. He was mildly pleased to see Tally and promised they would be best friends again when Tally became "pretty" in a few months. He helped her escape safely and, on her way back to Uglyville, she met Shay. Shay is another "ugly" who was also meeting a friend in New Pretty Town. She and Tally shared stories of their adventures. They became the best of friends, and Shay took Tally to the Rusty Ruins. She shared with her about a group of people who had run away to live in the forest by the ruin. Those people had decided not to become "pretty" and Shay was considering it too. She wanted Tally to run away with her and not become "pretty", but Tally wouldn't. Shay left without her. So, Tally became sixteen, and was on her way to the hospital for the "pretty" operation, when she found herself at Special Circumstances instead. A "cruel pretty" named Dr. Cable met with Tally and told her that either she could become a spy and go to the forest and activate a tracker (disguised as a pendant) so that the people living there could be arrested or she could stay "ugly" forever. Tally, thinking she really didn't have a choice, decided to become a spy and found the people who lived in the forest, called the Smoke. The Smokies, as they are called, don't trust her at first, but in time, she convinced them that she wanted to be there. Tally had to tell numerous lies to cover the truth and the lies get more and more complicated. In time, she decided that she really liked living there, developed a relationship with David, and wanted to become a Smokie. To show her commitment to the Smokies, and to David specifically, Tally threw her pendant into the fire. Unbeknownst to Tally, the pendant was programmed to go off even if it was damaged. The tracking signal was sent, and when Tally awoke, Special Circumstances had surrounded the Smoke. Will Tally, David, and the other Smokies escape or will they be captured and forced to become "pretty"?<br /><br />I tag Kim, Natalie, and JannetLeahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00741577360401794890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615426204746343628.post-50801070752707387492008-03-10T12:19:00.000-07:002008-12-10T09:07:14.164-08:00Sunday's Food for Thought (on Monday)Since I was so busy yesterday, I didn't have an opportunity to get on the computer, so here is a thought for today:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupl3cP_TAAlyTUol70wHLyxn-qvzWyxPfvFhFixoODaKfMGauMdpdj5Ce0YEsslJU7xJZToQqXTbK_ALY0zLOw4GhLnNWzE6PtOTfCS_ucIp11aki2u42PzDPTfa7iFtN-9z2TvtHTs7k/s1600-h/let_him_in_zoom.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupl3cP_TAAlyTUol70wHLyxn-qvzWyxPfvFhFixoODaKfMGauMdpdj5Ce0YEsslJU7xJZToQqXTbK_ALY0zLOw4GhLnNWzE6PtOTfCS_ucIp11aki2u42PzDPTfa7iFtN-9z2TvtHTs7k/s400/let_him_in_zoom.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176196251657321074" /></a><br /><blockquote><em><strong>Happiness keeps you sweet,<br />Trials keep you strong,<br />Sorrows keep you human,<br />Failures keep you humble,<br />Success keeps you glowing,<br />But only God keeps you going.</strong></em></blockquote>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00741577360401794890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615426204746343628.post-77953199945039180972008-03-08T11:57:00.000-08:002008-12-10T09:07:14.685-08:00Happy Birthday Eddie!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-GKNlV_jhlrf6hqSn_bDcB-4ANPJh6dbhCxpp1BpCkp8qU4QIBCOdXwD9OE2iRvxmZcgRGvf-aJCHmhRSndnwb5BARAOtcrSVYcFpeAmYsmGrbaX6Z8H9toDATzlKa47dDVJosQiLSynx/s1600-h/happy_birthday_to_you.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-GKNlV_jhlrf6hqSn_bDcB-4ANPJh6dbhCxpp1BpCkp8qU4QIBCOdXwD9OE2iRvxmZcgRGvf-aJCHmhRSndnwb5BARAOtcrSVYcFpeAmYsmGrbaX6Z8H9toDATzlKa47dDVJosQiLSynx/s400/happy_birthday_to_you.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175462636883425858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2etBSL0RHB3Aoe9Qn-r5wOWp6v-49ji1Ck1DHJLL86ym12aw7frQxk9JlULW_FrF7BmBoS3BFBwkYBHzrq403-gBcgveT60edERaQkliDqMTpO5PRH5yhZxeeygSVg7XeYm66f5DcFlIN/s1600-h/Eddie+at+2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2etBSL0RHB3Aoe9Qn-r5wOWp6v-49ji1Ck1DHJLL86ym12aw7frQxk9JlULW_FrF7BmBoS3BFBwkYBHzrq403-gBcgveT60edERaQkliDqMTpO5PRH5yhZxeeygSVg7XeYm66f5DcFlIN/s400/Eddie+at+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175462662653229650" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMMPMWsyPAelNU1Vqv9K7I1ytu9vcYrAh3iAT3CwMA1_ZF40W732kk05dqoDNLqyoLPdQ51psN3pews0kvCEmehrGu3xyPhNROVoFGGa1estrV_RFXGSyeiF6uG8wQaY8jX5353HM6wsq/s1600-h/Eddie+at+Christmas.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMMPMWsyPAelNU1Vqv9K7I1ytu9vcYrAh3iAT3CwMA1_ZF40W732kk05dqoDNLqyoLPdQ51psN3pews0kvCEmehrGu3xyPhNROVoFGGa1estrV_RFXGSyeiF6uG8wQaY8jX5353HM6wsq/s400/Eddie+at+Christmas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175462666948196962" /></a><br />WE LOVE YOU!Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00741577360401794890noreply@blogger.com1
