Temple Square

Yesterday while Jeff and I were out and about for his birthday we decided to go to Temple Square. What an amazing place. Although the grounds are under construction it does not interfere with he spirit. My camera is not working and is on it's way to Sony to be repair so we can get it back before our trip to Nauvoo, anyway we took these pictures with my phone. I think they turned out great!



This picture was taken from inside the South Visitors Center, from a room called the "Temple View Room"

Today is Jeff's 41st birthday BOY is he OLD. One day he will get back at me for picking on him. I always do something to throw him off. Last year on is 40th birthday I made signs and put them all over his work so EVERYONE knew how old he was.This year I sent him a cookie bouquet at work. I did it on Monday because he is off work on Tuesday and I like to embarrass him.
Like I said some day he will get me back.
I LOVE YOU HONEY!!!!

So Proud

Today Jake competed in his last JROTC competition,because he is a senior.
He did a GREAT job. He took Best individual Male shooter,his team took 1st place in Color Guard and Exhibition. They also took 2nd place in the mile run, Jake took 2nd place Best Commander, and last but not least his team took 3rd in the rifle.
Taylorsville took state!!! YIPPEE.
Jake has never commanded his own team in a competition before.
The JROTC program has been such a great program for him. It has taught him repsect and loyalty among other things.
I wish I had pictures from today's competition but my camera is not working very well.

Did you know?

Bounce is a wonderful fabric softner, but did you know there are many other uses for this product? Try some of these ...

* It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.

* It also repels mice ... spread some sheets around the foundation areas of your home. In cars that are just sitting, leave some sheets around the interior, they will keep mice from entering your vehicle.

* It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.

* Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season, it will repel them!

* To eliminate static electricity from your television or computer screen, wipe the screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

* To dissolve soap scum from shower doors, clean then with a sheet of Bounce.

* Freshen the air in your home by placing an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet.

* To keep your vacuum cleaner smelling fresh, put a Bounce sheet in it.

* Prevent thread from tangling ... run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

* To keep suitcases from smelling musty, place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing it.

* Freshen the air in your car by placing a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

* Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.

* Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

* Remove animal hair from furniture or clothes by rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce. It will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

* Eliminate static electricity from mini blinds. Wipe them with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

* Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

* Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

* Deodorize shoes or sneakers by placing a Bounce sheet in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

* Golfers put a Bounce sheet in your back pocket to keep the bees away.

* Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them, it will keep them smelling fresh.

* Rainy day cure for dog odor ... The next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe him down with a Bounce sheet. Instantly your dog smell springtime fresh.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all.
I hope we all remember what Easter is all about!

Gotta Love them

Lindsee has been sick all week with pneumonia. It has been a very long week, but you know when they are starting to feel better because they get VERY grouchy. On Friday Lindsee kept asking me to go to Jo Ann's to get her a craft to do. Why she wants another craft I have no clue she has 4 latch hooks she is working on.
So last night when Jeff got home from work in his nightly routine he comes and gives me a hug and kiss and lets me know he is home then he makes the rounds with the kids except last night Jake was with him.Jeff went up stairs to give Lindsee a hug and kiss and could not find her. He came back down stairs and was panicked at which time I woke up and said "what is wrong" Jeff said " I cannot find my daughter that's what is wrong" I FLEW out of bed in the same panic that Jeff was in and Jake as well.(Now might I add this was midnight.) We are searching for her and I woke up my parents and asked where Lindsee was because she was not in her "normal" places of where she likes to sleep. Well come to find out she had decided to sleep UNDER her bed because she thought it would be cooler there. Go figure.
She did write us a note and taped it to her door telling us where she was, but what parent when in a panic looks for a note taped to a door? Not us.
So today when I was helping her clean her room I came across this note from Lindsee:
Dear Mom,
Please do not come in my room until I get something to do from Jo Ann's.
Thank you,
Lindsee Hay

I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants. Apparently she is feeling better enough to be a brat. But you got to love them
