Whirlwind!!

Wow. Looks like I failed in blogging for the month of June. 

But...life lately has been a whirlwind! Seriously. 

Here's a little sampler of what's been going on...

* Trent completed his first clinical rotation for his 4th year

 in Dental School in Fairbanks, Alaska! 

He had a wonderful time, and I got to visit him!!!

 Much more to come later on that...

So since Trent was way up North I decided to 

'move back in' with my parents.

It was perfect timing and we had

 so much fun with my family!

*. We started off by  becoming attending Wicked!

It truly is an amazing show. 

Trent and I saw it in New York, 

but it was just as amazing in Boise.

We had quite the adventure on our way to Boise...

highlights include a cakewalk, dunking machine, 

concussion, and partying at Boondocks

where someone won a huge boatload of tickets.

But more to come on that later. 

$10 to anyone who can guess the correct number of how 

many tickets this little sweetheart won in 1 game.

* In between attending millions of 

'end of the year' concerts and festivities, 

My little sister Katie graduated from 

high school with high honors!

Isn't she beautiful?

So proud of you Katie Lady!

It is mind boggling to think who graduated 5 years ago...

And who graduated 10 years ago...

* Then we came home...but with 

 two surprise packages in tow. 

My little sisters Hannah and Hailey came 

and became our AZ babies for 2 weeks!

We had so much fun...and LOTS more to come on them later

* I was able to attend 'Time Out For Women' 

with the wonderful women in my life...

Debbie, Mommy, and Katie!

It was so wonderful to hear 

such inspiring messages

and remember my true identity, 

that of a daughter of God. 

* Then back to Utah/Idaho because Trent's brother Blake 

married the girl of his dreams, Hailey. 

Much more to come on that as well. 

* Then finally Jackson got his cast off!

Yeah! Freedom! Baths! Pool!

Not sure who was more excited. 

But I do have to admit it was quite the darling little cast. 

And you better believe that I have it

 saved in my Hope Chest. 

He did pretty good while they were sawing it off. 

He was more scared when trying to 

pry it off his little body. 

* Now that we're back home for a little bit

I received a new calling...

Nursery Singing Time Coordinator!

Our ward is so large we have three 

separate nursery classes 

(children ages 18 mos - 3 years). 

They rotate between singing time, snack 

time, and playing time. 

I will be in charge of the singing time for all of them!

I am very excited about this, and am 

grateful that the Lord trusts me to 

teach and influence his precious little ones. 

So I think it's safe to say that since in the last month 

we have been extremely busy. 

Doesn't the fact alone that I have been on 8 different 

airplane rides since May constitute a break from blogging?

Even Jackson has felt the effects of a busy schedule...

He fell asleep in his highchair while I was vacuuming. 

If that doesn't say tired and 

my life has been a whirlwind lately, 

then I don't know what does!
