Well, how do I start this blog? I'm either laughing or blubbering, depending on who is telling me a story. I guess I'll start by saying we've had a wonderful trip to Idaho. We are now at Janell and Ken's house and you don't get away from here without writing a blog or you don't get a bed to sleep in and food to eat. Just kidding!!!!!

Mother and I had a wonderful time with Turley and the Nelsons. I can't believe that all the children are getting older and more handsome and beautiful every day. The children I tended, played with chased around and loved are now graduating, growing up and having children of their own, or just filling an aunt's heart with love. I am so proud of all my family. Each of you has contributed to my life in so many ways. Well, here goes the blubbering so I'd better continue on.

We loved staying at Turley's. Thanks for all the rides, food and just a great time. Our trip as sisters and mom, to the temple, was one of the highlights of the trip. Thanks to the Nelsons for letting us participate in so many exciting activities. It was also great to have game night. I still have to look up the rules on skipping and Mexican train. We're already looking forward to the next time. I will say that I thought I was doing so well at finding my way around Shelley and back to Turley's until this morning. Turley gave me easy directions to the freeway and I knew the roads so I was sure I could do it. Mom and I left Turley and went one block west and then turned right on Ammon. I knew I was on my way to Sunnyside Avenue. About two miles down the road mom said,"Are we going south?" and I said, "No we're going north." By then we were on the Iona Rd. Somewhere I missed the street. I called Turley and she started to laugh. She said I only had to go one block and turn left and I would have been on the way to Brigham City. The she said ." Your bag and scriptures are still at myself." So, a half hour later or more we were finally starting from Turley's again. Mom then told me that she didn't care which way I went, but to please go south. Oh, well. I still ended up leaving something there.

I'm also very sentimental about Jessica's blog. I know this new nephew to be is going to be great, but I still can't believe my little Jessica is getting married. I'm so happy for you, but having a few tears. I wish you have both a lot of happiness. He still hasn't asked me! Just kidding.

We are now at Rimingtons and had a great trout dinner fixed by Ken. Janell is doing better and their sun room is looking great! The unbelieveable part of this is the fact that mom has a black eye. No one know how she got it. Not even mother. Janell noticed it. She didn't have it this morning. There will be more to follow on this story. She wouldn't let us take a picture.

Have a great sabbath. He lives and is watching over us. Thanks Michael for the special blog. It made us cry too. More later.
