06.02.2014 - Miraculous

Jadyn cracks me up haha but I guess I remember doing that too when I was her age. I loved being able to get sprayed by the hose when it was “hot.” It’s so funny though how we really do adjust to the temperature of the place that we live because while 73 used to be a warm day for me, I am now pretty chilled when it gets down to 73! Spooner Farms?!?! Anyway you could send me some homemade raspberry and strawberry jam this summer? J That sounds delicious. And thanks to you, I know see that there are a lot of gardening metaphors. I’ll have to look more into that later! Sound like the temple was great. I got to go this week too and it was beautiful! I’ll talk more about that later though.

05.26.2014 - Memorial Day Off

I would love to meet in the middle temperature wise. It just keeps getting hotter and hotter here! But I love it :) Summer is upon us. Yay! That is quite the last name that the new family has. How do you even say that?? That's a good song. We sing it quite frequently in the ward. 

05.19.2014 - Another Year Closer to Looking Like Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!! It sounds like you had a great time celebrating. We sang to you :) and by we, I mean the four of us that live in the Barn. So I hope you felt the love.:) That’s awesome, and really bad at the same time, that there is now a DSW so close! There is one about 10 minutes from where I live here, in the San Tan Mall, but I haven’t been there. I figure it is better that way. Safer.

Sadly Lacking

What is wrong with me? Loaded question (I know) but I just can't seem to update Michelle's letters to the blog in a timely manner. So ... since she's coming home this week I thought that I should probably get her letters, from May to the present day, up and viewable.

05.05.2014 - 365 Days (well, almost) and Counting

Sounds like you’ve had a busy and fun week. :) Those are always good. Poor little Ryder :/ that sounds like it hurt! Is his hand doing better? Good ol’ rainy Washington! Definitely not rainy here. It’s getting hotter and drier every day. It feels like summer now. The past couple weeks have been warm, but there is a change in the air and you can tell that summer is fast approaching. Your trip to the middle-of-nowhere waterfalls sounds beautiful. And I agree with Dad, you’ll have to take me there when I get home.  :) I laughed when you talked about the chocolate chips, but I am so proud of you. I decided last night that I am going to go on a health-ier eating kick too. She made tres leches with chile powder? I’ve never had it like that, but I love tres leches. :) As for school, I don’t register for classes until October so we are good for now! Mikayla’s sister’s name is Samantha. I liked your idea of a trip to New York to get fabric there. :) Mother’s Day…I do get to call! Yay! I’m excited for it too. We are going to a member’s house to Skype from and I will Skype you at 4:15 p.m. Dad says he is sending a package so I told him some things that would be nice. When it comes to words of wisdom, I always need more. :) As soon as we get the conference edition of the ensign I will read the rest of President Eyring’s talk. Thank you for the beautiful textile metaphor that you gave me.  :) Remember how I used the two different types of thread for a scholarship essay too? Good metaphors can come from fabric! Who knew??
