flashback friday

yes, flashback friday is here again!

you're going to love this story! when kevin came back from his mission, we thought it would be fun to visit family members he hadn't met yet, so we decided to take a weekend trip to reno, nevada, where my sister, teri, was living with her family, clem, tom, corinne, and lori. of course, we had to go play in the snow (it was march)! clem takes his camera everywhere with him and took this shot as kevin, teri and i flew down the hill. if i remember right, teri bumped her chin on my head when we landed. ouch!
take note of kevin's awesome shoes! (kevin, me, teri)

Shock of the year!

May 12th-puttering around in my room getting ready for my trip to Utah. Hear Cody call me to the front room. He wants to "talk" to me. "uh oh--what now?" I think to myself. I go sit down on the sofa next to Cody--Kevin is sitting in his chair. Cody "Julia and I have been talking and we've decided to get married. At first, we were thinking of November or December but since her family is moving to Saudi Arabia in August, we moved it up to August." He continues on talking and Kevin and he discuss schooling, etc. Finally he says "Mom, you're quiet. What do you think?" I reply "I'm in shock. I thought you two were just friends." So people--Aug 17th is the big day! Its so unreal!

This picture was taken on Cody's birthday last year, Nov 1
