Sweet Leslie

Just wanted to send a little Birthday wish to Leslie. We are so glad you're a part of this family! We love you! Happy Birthday.

Thank You Olivia...

...for getting married. It has become a great reason for all of the family to gather (minus a few, of course)! I can't remember the last time we had a real reunion and I am really looking forward to it. This "thank you" note should also be addressed to Mark and Sandy for getting it going and providing the cabin and to the CA brothers who will be making the trek that will make it possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A Year and Three Months Left!

This picture was taken on the day Sean graduated. Bet'cha couldn'ta guessed it was him! I really miss this boy.

Lately, Calvin has been trying to take over ALL the responsibilities that Sean has left undone. Calvin doesn't have to do that. Calvin is a really good Calvin. Sean is a really good Sean. I absolutely love them both. Soon, I'm not going to have either one of them!

By the way, we got an e-mail from Sean because a WONDERFUL member offered to type while he dictated. The WONDERFUL lady's name is Wendy Engel. If you want to read it, click on the link to his blog (the link says "Elder Juarez" on the links bar at the top-right corner of this page) or you could go up to the address bar and type "eldersean.blogspot.com". I love Sean so much I can't even write it in words. I can't wait til he gets home. I'm so grateful he went on a Misson. His letter is amazing and I hope, no, READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hectic (And Fun) Week

This has been quite a hectic week. With Josie and Carmen gone to girls camp things haven't been normal.
Monday: Josie left early for camp since she's a fifth year. Carmen, Ashton and I stayed around the house.
Tuesday: I actually sleep in! Yes, it's true till 10:30 am! Ashton and I did our chores then played a little Nintendo then we rode our bikes to Mom's work then load up our swimming bags with treats then go to the pool across the street from her work. Drive home. Eat. Mom, Olivia and I go to Amie's house to work on Olivia's wedding announcement. I sleep over at Amie's.
Wednesday: Wake up and eat. Then I go with Amie and the kids to Radio Shack, Costco, The bank, and... THANKSGIVING POINT!!!!! That was so fun. We get back to Amie's home. We watched a movie and baked bread and made cookies. Then on his way home from work Papa picks me up.
Thursday: Nice morning with Ashton. Then the pool again. Then we rode the bikes home which were still at Mom's work.
Friday (Today): Wake up and see Mom HOME! Fun morning. Then Papa comes and picks us up drops Mom at work and me Ashton and Papa drive to 123 R Street S.L.C. Sandy's home. We eat lunch and then go to the Gateway to see a movie (Kung Fu Panda) and go to Barnes and Noble bookstore. Then meet back up with Papa at his work and then drive home.
WOW! Such a crazy week. Tomorrow I get to see Josie and Carmen who get home!
That's all for now.
Loves,
Maya
