Discovered these guys on Oprah and now I have to listen to them everynight before I go to bed as my lula bye. They are amazing singers and didn't know that Celine Dione was coming on the show to suprise them. So cute. Pause my music at the bottom first.

I'm not sure why, but for some reason, Layton and I had an unspoken suicide pact at the Anderson family reunion this year. Layton went cliff jumping,(I did not), we hiked up to Timp Cave in Utah and I nearly killed myself by heat stroke on the way up. We also went on every scary ride at Lagoon. We had the best time ever!! Special thanks to Nathan and Kristin for putting it all together for us. Every day was well planned and we had a wonderful time filled with wonderful memories.

Henderson Family Reunion

2008-10-21T13:27:00.000-07:00

It very nearly took a miracle, but we finally managed to have a Henderson Sisters Family Reunion. We met in the Cascade Mountains at Ensign Ranch, a campground owned by the church. We had the lodge and a bunk house all to ourselves. It was so wonderful.

The weather, predicted to be rainy, was sunny and beautiful. The leaves were changing colors right before our eyes and because we met in October, we had the campground nearly to ourselves.

Laura's and Matt's son Greg had just returned from his mission so we had a lot of catching up to do. Michell and her two daughters were with us along with Jennifer, Ford and their two and a half kids. Cameron completed the Hardy tribe attendance and was the all around winner of the extreme ping-pong. (although others may dispute the title.)

Myself, Megan and her three rug-rats were the first to arrive and "set up camp". We were followed by Layton, Jake, Curt, Janae, and Levi arriving just a few hours after us. Heidi, Luke and their two kids were right on the bumper of Layton and his carload. We had Thursday night to ourselves at the Lodge where we invented extreme ping-pong, aka rafter pong. Layton had to drive into town the next morning and buy new ping-pong balls. teehee!!

Mom, Lynell, Anna and Marta arrived Friday morning bringing a van load of food and fun.
After that it was one carload after another until we were all settled snugly. Lani and girls arrived early afternoon followed by The Bresciano bunch. We had 41 in all, fourteen being ages seven and under.

The highlight of the reunion was celebrating Mom's 75Th birthday with an impromptu talent show. The men won the prize for best talent, singing Ye Elders of Israel a cappella, in Spanish and English. The teenage girls won second prize for The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The married cousins did and excellent rendition of Sisters from White Christmas but I feel that "The Sisters" did an outstanding job reviving an old family favorite, Lovely Hula Hands.

Hope these pictures give you a hint of the fab-o time we had.

May 10, 2008

My wonderful family (minus Megan and Jake) joined in for Race for the Cure. We had a beautiful, sunny day and lots of fun. The wind kicked up once in a while and I had to tie down my hat, but other than that, the weather was great.

We did the 5k walk. Layton's mom and dad joined us as did several friend from my work. We had a total of 16 on our team.

Thanks to all of you for getting us closer to a cure.

Tea Party At Nana's.

2008-04-11T16:12:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite things is to have the grand kids over for a tea party. We go all out with costumes, hats, traditional foods, hot chocolate instead of tea and our very best manners. The grand kids love it, I love it, and my girls get into the spirit also.

Snow in April?!?

2008-04-10T20:43:00.000-07:00

Do you ever feel like you are living under a black cloud?

This has been a black cloud week for me, starting with Monday and forgetting my glasses, cell phone, and wallet when I went to work. Then I had a usual Monday work day. By Wednesday I knew that the black cloud was a permanent attachment. As I was coming down the stairs, I was looking out the front door window and saw that we had snow on the ground. SNOW!! In April!! As my brain tried to assimilate this fact, my feet missed the bottom two steps, and I landed in a heap on the floor. My ankle was wrenched and my knee was bruised. So I am spending the remainder of my week in an ankle brace, gimping around as best I can.

But, with every black cloud, there is a sliver lining. We found out this week that Megan and Jake

were able to lease their house in Nampa. Now the only house payment they will have is their home in Fruitland. Also, Megan is feeling much better, her headaches are few and far between. She is impatient to get her strength back, and try to be super mom again.

Heidi passed her CNA skills test with flying colors and takes her written test tomorrow. Good luck Heidi.

Curt continues to ace his classes at ITT tech and loves what he is doing. If you need a house designed, call Curt.

I get to see Layton by appointment only as he is still the Bishop. His five year mark came and went with no hint of a release. In fact, he was told to unpack his trunk, he would be here for a while yet. But he is a great Bishop and we love having him serve so we are happy to let him continue at his post.

The countdown begins... 35 more days of school!!
