ok fine... I guess I was tagged

So bare with me, I was tagged twice:
Rules of the tag:

1. pick up the nearest book.

2. Turn to page 123.

3. Find the 5th sentence.

4. Post the 5th sentence.

5. Tag some people



so here we go: the closest book is called "Jesus Freaks" It isn't what the title sounds like.. Its a great book about modern day martyrs. So page 123 only has one scentence on it:

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

-Jim Elliot, Speared by headhunters in Ecuador while serving as a missionary in 1956


So the next tag is the ABC's

ABC's "getting to know you" TAG.

Complete the ABC's of you. Then, each player tags 3 people and posts their names, goes to their blogs and leaves a comment letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

T- Tag Three: I'll let you know...

U- Unknown fact about me: When I had Jackson, they had to do an emergency c-section after 18 hours of Labor when he started to go into distress. The second they got him out I was strapped to a table with two doctors inside my tummy and instead of asking if he was ok or if I was ok, the first thing I asked was if he was cute! Obviously this was my number 1 concern.

V- Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animal: full carnivore

X-Rays or Ultrasounds: Ultrasounds I guess, but don't want either! They are too expensive!!!

Y-Your favorite food: Oh my gosh, this changes hourly! But I do LOVE artichokes.

Z- Zodiac Sign: Gemini

BUBBLES!!!

So I was giving Jackson a bath and on my laptop not paying ANY attention until I hear him saying bubbles over and over again and this is what I found:



After doing some investigating on where these bubbles came from I found out the expensive way that Jackson can unscrew shampoo lids and of course he picked the one that was brand new to open! Oh well, he sure smelled good that night!

June 2008 Ensign Cover

So Kevin found out that one of his converts from Hong Kong was going to be on the cover of the June 2008 ensign! He is the one in the middle. Unfortunatly I couldn't find a larger photo, If I do I'll replace it.
He is in a Hong Kong young singles adult ward that was featured. Way to go Kevin! Think of the amazing things you have accomplished and of how much good will come from this one young man!

Finally!!! Summer weather!

This week it has been windy, rainy, sunny, and SNOWY- in park city! But tonight it warmed up a little and Jackson enjoyed it!

Lovin' that Grandpa!

Jackson watches his Grandpa Egbert like a hawk! He copies everything he does and wants to help him work. So when Grandpa went out to do yard work this is what happened.

YEA FOR NURSERY!!!

A few weeks ago Jackson went to Nursery for the first time! I stayed with him for the first hour, but after me sitting there watching him play happily I left and went to relief society. He did really good and was pretty happy. After relief society I saw these huge ears walking down the hall. I can't believe he is getting so big... The next week we only stayed to get him settled and off we went alone to sunday school... FIVE minutes later- I am board out of my mind! I couldn't sit still, I kept bothering Kevin, and going nuts. I'm not used to sitting still and not being able to play with trucks, eat snacks, and wander the halls... maybe I'm not ready for sunday school, I better go to nursery too.

Viva Las Vegas!

so we were walking down the street and saw this lady offering her pets for photos. For $5 you could hold them. Kevin totally wimped out at first, so I did it. The lady was taking photos with my camera and I guess she wasn't pressing the button down all the way so this is the one and only photo we got. At one point Jackson freaked out about the bird so we moved it to my right shoulder, It was pretty fun and although i'm sad we don't have more photos of this, i'm satisfied with the one we got.


swimming at the Venezia Garden pool at the Venetian. We stayed here one of the nights. The other night we stayed at the Planet Hollywood.

These were at the Bellagio in their indoor garden.

A few of these are at the Flamingo casino...

We had a lot of fun as a family. Everywhere we went people all stopped and stared and smiled and waved at Jackson. He attracted so much attention I felt like I was walking around with a movie star or something. People love that red hair!
