Caught up in Reality TV.....Whose she gonna choose?

Jillian


Reid


Ed

So I'm a huge fan of 'The Bachelorette'....unfortunately I'm always disappointed in the end. Actually Jason picked the girl I wanted, Melissa, but then switched at the ATFR. Last night Jillian had a choice between three, Kiptyn, Ed or Reid. I didn't post Kiptyn's picture because it was completely obvious she was not picking him. Reid was definetly my choice--(maybe it was the name). He was cute and funny and natural and affectionate and seemed perfect for Jillian. If you didn't watch it, she didn't pick him. She picked Ed. Oh sure they seem happy and all....but I was sure disappointed.

What I've begun to realize is that 99 percent of the time people pick a mate that looks just like them....Their eternal companion (or temporary if we are considering The Bachelorette and The Bachelors) could actually be their brother or sister. I have attended a lot of wedding receptions this summer with quite a few more to go and the happy couple always looks like each other. So I need your help.... Here's a picture of my son Jordan (he would kill me for this---thank heavens he doesn't read my blog.) Do you know a cute girl that looks just like him?

Monday Missionary Moments---All Together Again!

Just spent a week in California with Tyler, Danielle and Emree. (Post coming about that....) We were lucky enough to be there when Tyler's brother Tanner got home from his mission to Estonia. A very joyous reunion. It's hard letting them go for two years but its pretty 'SWEET' when they return. And why do we do it? Mission-A Missionary will leave his family for two years, so that those he teachers can be with their families for Eternity. WE also got Quinn's return date-NOVEMBER 5TH!!!!!!!

Quiet as a Mouse...

Our house has been very quiet this week. Mackenzie stayed for some sister bonding in California and Easton went on a 'High Adventure'. There has been some good....no fixing meals (sorry Reid, and let's face it-who am I kidding, I don't cook that much even when the whole family is home). The washer and dryer got a break. Their rooms stayed clean, their beds stayed made.I didn't have to stay up late every night. But all in all, I missed them ALOT. I missed the noise, the mess, the dishes, the laundry, the company, the laughs. Being a mother defines me and I love it. Welcome Home Mackenzie and Easton.

America's Next Top Model

Kenzie's senior year has officially begun. We got some senior pictures taken the other night by Colleen Donavon. Thanks Colleen...they look great.

All it takes is a couple of great leaders.....

....and Easton has them. Easton and 8 other young men had their 'Court of Awards' to receive their Eagle's Wednesday night. Easton's scout leaders have been his Uncle Garth and Uncle Hugh the last two years. They have been amazing leaders dedicating many hours to these boys. They have definetly gone above and beyond the call of duty and helped these boys achieve their goals. They say that only 2% of boys that enter the scout program receive their Eagle. And we had NINE in one night from one ward.
