Wisconsin!!!

For my birthday my mom and dad flew me out to spend the week with Melanie, James, and Virginia. I had a great time just spending time with them and playing games. We went on a tour of the state capital where I learned that one of their governers went on to be one of the goveners of Utah. We went to the zoo and it was fun to see how much Virginia enjoyed seeing the animals. We went to the Opera in the Park, and the American Girl Doll sale. Melanie also introduced me to ice cream from the Chocolate Shop. Which I say is devine!! I loved taking Virginia on walks and seeing enviorment in Madison and the diffrent archetecture there! I can't wait to go back for another visit!!

Continued Family Fun!!

So Eric broght Stephanie and the kids out to Utah for the month of July and they stayed at mom and dads house. It was so much fun to play with them and see them for a long time. Again since there are many pictures I felt a cologe would be best to be able to see many of the photos we took!!!

Craftyness

So a couple of weeks ago I made this bag on the right and I just love it! The colors are fun and the bag is really cute!! I love how big it is and that I can stick many things inside of it! What i really love is that I can throw it over my sholder comfortably and reach in and grab things easily as well. Then I got the idea to make hair pins so I took the Idea from the flower on the purse to make hair flowers and what I got is on the left.! I am quite pleased with myself for thinking of putting the two together!!!

senescent and filled with spunk

I know that for the past few blogs I have posted many videos from You Tube but I think that this next one is like one of the best. My mission companion shared this on facebook and i think that this is cute. This couple who have been married for over sixty years set up appointments to get complete examinations done the didn't realize that it would take over a week but they had breaks and they found a really nice baby grand piano or grand piano ( i don't know which) in the lobby of the place they were getting examinations done. well they found a sign on the piano saying if you want to play it go ahead and do so so they did and this is what they played.

My only wish is that I can be senescent and filled with spunk like them!!

Never Walk Alone

Music is very meaningful and i love when music touches my heart and I feel peace especially when passing through a hard time. Forgive me for I think I might have already blogged about this song but I just love it. It has so much meaning for everyone as they walk through troubled times. It is a song of hope and reminds us that we never walk alone in life. Its a very inspring song and I love this performance by Sissel. She has an amazing voice and I tihnk this is my favorite way this song has been perforemed hope you all will enjoy.

All the fun we have had in Madison Wisconsin it has been a blast Thanks Melanie, James, and Virginia for making this such a fun trip for me!

Independence Day

The 4th of July has always been my favorite holiday. Why? There are many reasons why it is my favorite. I love how united we all have as we celebrate the birth of this wonderful nation. I love it when we sing the National Anthem in church it only happens once a year and i am very disappointed when they chose not to have us sing it. I love the fire works that we use to celebrate the day, Going to the Freedom Festival parade with my family in Provo, The barbecue that always happens.

But what I really love is that we remember what was done for us by those who founded our nation. I am grateful for those who risked there lives to form this country, for those who boldly signed their name on the constitution. I am grateful for this country that was prepaired so the restoration of the gospel could happen.

last but not least what I love about this holiday is the music. and it is not the 4th of July without John Phillip Sousa, and the Stars and Strips Forever!!!
