TO: Pug, Jordan and Terryn....

I played NERTZ tonight.....


And lots of it !!




Made me miss the old days..... Us in my parents house, U2 blasting, candy all over the table, me standing up to get the best view of cards......the good old filmont cards!!!!!!


I would love to start another nertz group just like we used to have.... With our tournaments lasting 4+ days! ( except when the wind blew all our cards off my parents deck!)

American idol....

look for me and Jp tomorrow night!!!!


That is if they show the SLC auditions tomorrow..... We will probably be in the opening shots right smack dab in the middle!

christmas at casey's parents

i only got a few pics of christmas at casey's parents cause my camera battery died it was really fun as usual...the triplets were there but i only got a picture of one of them! trying to get 3 years old triplets to sit for a picture is not going to happen!

christmas eve/christmas pics......a few weeks late!

we had a wonderful christmas as we do every year....the kids did the nativity on christmas eve, i didn't get to watch it cause i was doing the "background music" on the piano but my hubby took the pics of the kids...dont they look so happy?! my sisters baby "baby audrey" as we all call her was the "stand-in" for baby jesus!

as i posted the last post about the painting i realized i should put a pic of our painting on the blog, im so glad and lucky to have such a talented dad and im so lucky to have our beautiful painting!


my dad always tells a story about a woman who lost her husband and two sons while they were serving in the navy, after she was left all alone some visitors stopped by her house and were sitting in her family room, one remarked on the beautiful picture that she had of a navy boat at sea and then asked why she kept it still in her house as it would always be a reminder of what she lost, she told them that the picture had been up for many years and that even though she begged her sons not to join the navy they did anyway because the picture that had been up all of their lives showed them what their father believed in and what was important to him

my dad always ties this into if you have pictures of the temple or whatever is important to you in your life up in your home always your kids will know what is important and stick with them, i was lucky growing up to have several paintings of many temples around our home to serve as a reminder to what was important to my parents and to my family

Sundloff Christmas Party

every year at the sundloff christmas party we take pictures of all of the families there are too many to post so ill just post my family....the other pics are of my dad giving my cousin chelsey and her husband one of his paintings, it has become a long standing family tradition that every year at the sundloff christmas party he gives a painting to the next family in line to receive one....he thinks the specific scene out for months and paints something just for that particular family

enjoy!

anniversary pic....a month and a half late!
