Vernal, Ut

is one of my favorite towns. I have loved it more every time we go back. We got to go to the Haslem family reunion there last weekend and it was awesome!
Scott and Jenee and their kids and TyRel and Stacie and their kids all came also. It's always fun to stay up late visiting. Which we did plenty of...
I loved sitting around listening to Trevor's aunts and uncles tell stories and experiences from their life. If I ever get old (ha!) I want to be just like them. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking about how much I dread getting old. But after last weekend I've decided that if I age like Trevors family, then I can't wait for it (okay, I can wait but I no longer dread it)!
We also got to see Grandpa Haslem while there...I do believe that was the kids favorite part. He is always so kind and generous. Silly me did not get any pictures of them together. But I did get one of all the kids!
We got to go visit Aunt Nilas farm; the pigs were so fun to watch. And later that day, we went swimming and the kids had so much fun...
I really want a pig.
Hopefully it won't be another 5 years before we go back again...

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
