It has been a busy few weeks for me. It has been good, but busy. My refusal to blog started when my sister Tami flew out from Texas. It was the first time since college that we (just she and I- with no kids or hubby's) did something together for any length of time. It was great! There were only a few things on our list that we did not get to. (for example- When we were going to the Y and it was towards the end of the month and our $ was almost spent from each of our paychecks, we would meet between classes and enjoy a cheap lunch of saltine crackers and green apples. We would sit by a certain wall that was blocked by wind, but in full view of the sun. Being the sun loving Florida girls we were, we missed the warmth! Tami and I did ride by this spot on one of our bike rides, but discovered that the wall was no longer there! (Plus our paychecks- well hubby's paychecks are a little bigger so we no longer eat apple and saltine lunches any more!) All and all, it was a great weekend. We did a lot of biking, ran the "stairs from hell" (excuse the language-but that is what the smith field house stairs were called) a few times after a morning run, we did some thrifting (Much to our husbands despise), we spent a lot of time catching up, and oh yes we did enjoy the women's conference talks and concerts. We both kept good notes in our little notebooks. Tami made a comment that after we go home we have a lot to do to be better wives, mothers, and individuals. (nothing like feeling overwhelmed-but it was in a good renewed spirit way!)
Oh- back to why I have refused to blog this last little while! I left my camera in the Pardoe theatre on the BYU campus. I kept telling myself -"It is BYU, someone will find it and turn it in to lost and found!" I have called everyday since, I have talked to numerous places all over campus.......and nothing. I am both sad and mad at the same time! Jim got it for me a few months ago and it was really a nice camera. So everytime I even think of blogging, it reminds me of loosing my camera! I keep hoping that the person is so consumed with guilt that they will turn it in. But no such luck yet!
I am a little late getting these pictures on from our trip to Idaho last month. It is funny how you look forward to a trip and it comes and is over before you know it. That is how our Idaho trip was. Wish we could have stayed longer. We are blessed to be able to make so many memories with our kids. 
These pics are from twin falls. It was a beautiful day. The falls were so powerful that the mist in the air was like a rain shower. We enjoyed the views and the company. 
Jim's dad and stepmother. We enjoyed our stay with them. Next time we will stay longer!
Here is our little family. The last time we were at these falls ,we were visiting college friends. (we wish we would have had time to see them on this trip-maybe next time L & L )
