Fun night out


I have been very blessed to become involved in a few activities that have really helped me so much. My good friend Kris Smith has been a key figure in increasing my social/spiriutal life. She is one amazing person. She invited me to join a Time Out for Women Book Club. I have only gone a few times but it has been an amazing experience. I love to read and this has helped me find new books to read and new friends to talk about them with. It is my idea of paradise. I know I am wierd but what can you say. It was a Halloween dress up night but I did not get the memo...So went as ME!!!!!!

Out of my comfort zone


Yes I did it...It was mismatched day at my school. They were doing it for red ribbon week. I decided to go as mismatched as possible. I even had my earrings not match.
It was fun but a few people said that I hurt their eyes with my clothes....


Felicia has talent!!!!!


Felicia was very proud of herself....She could hang a sppon of her nose....














Love that face......How cute can one be....

Funny Picture


Saw this funny sign at the SPCA and had an idea that I could not help.....A great picture came to my mind.


I could not resist....Brendan is such a good sport and stood by it to humor his wierd mother.

Pioneer Park Youth Service Project

The Pioneer Park Ward Youth went and helped cleaned up the outside area of the SPCA on a Saturday morning. It was a great experience for those who could make it. We were able to get several jobs done that they needed us to do. We also got it done it less time than thought. Everyone came and worked hard.



The morning brought donuts and muffins to give us energy to make it through the morning.




Here we are with tools in hand to get started on our work.
















This is one of the fields that we cleaned up. There was a lot of weeds and debris that needs to picked up and taken away.
















Here are the the cute beehinves chopping away....They are having too much fun.











Yer is so funny....Blia kept hiding her face...The two of the them are sooooo cute....














JJ Farley with a chain saw....what were we thinking. Good think her dad is the Bishop and he was there....






Great Young Women's Activity

We had a great joint activity for the young women in the Pioneer Park Ward. It was a mother daughter hair night. We had a get to know you activity in the beginning. Then it was time for Krista Gage to show some cute hair dos. It was so much fun seeing the mothers and daughters together. I know it continues to be a huge blessing to be in the Pioneer Park Ward... there are some of the most amazing people and sweetest spirits in the world. I have so blessed to be there and be a part of so much love.





This is Felicia's end result of Gwen working on her hair. JJ Farley is the in background.













Felicia is getting her done by Sister Hawkins. Felicia has such a happy look on her face. She has never really liked her hair messed with. Sister Hawkins in one of the few people she will allow to let her do it. She is Felicia's beehive leader and she just loves her so much. She is an amazing leader and good friend.









Here is the most beautiful group of women in my life. They are the mothers and daughters of the Pioneer Park Ward. The smiley girl in the front is Zoua Her and her mother. I am always amazed at these women and their strength.
















Here are the Vang women....We had a little question and answer period. There are three girls in Young Women..a laurel, mia maid and bee hive. They are so much fun to be around.

General Conference



This is Scott and Jared Nef playing a game of chess waiting for breakfast. We have the Nef's over to watch General Conference. We eat breakfast between the sessions. Adel makes a great Bingo game and the winners get candy. It helps the kids listen and pay attention.













Here is Felicia eating our great breakfast. Allan made French pancakes. We had strawberries, syrup, powdered sugar and plenty of whipped cream. We can not forget bacon for everyone.




This is the master chefs cooking breakfast for us. Our kitchen is small but we managed to get the food all done.
