It's finally official!

Lyndie and Nate got engaged Saturday night. They are getting married in the Jordan River Temple on Friday, October 15th. And yes, that's in less than 8 weeks so there is a lot to do.

Our baby is 17!

I'd like to know where the time has gone!!! I can't believe that Jandie is 17 years old now and will be a senior in high school.

She had a pretty uneventful 17th birthday, I had to work all day and she chose to have homemade Pork Barbacoa enchiladas for dinner and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert.

She asked and got I Love Lucy Season 4, some SkullCandy earbuds and a red pair of Converse for her birthday and a few other things.

August Scrapbook Retreat

I feel so lucky to have been able to attend two Scrapbook retreats this summer thanks to Sheila.

We had so much fun and it was awesome to have some uninterupted time to scrapbook and relax with my favorite friends.

Thanks Lorna for letting me steal your pictures for my blog!
We did some star gazing at night too - it was cool to see the shooting stars during this latest meteor shower. It's an awesome place to go!

Well, the dreaded day for Jandie finally arrived. She got her 4 wisdom teeth removed this morning. It amazes me how fast they can get these out, it only took 30 minutes to remove them and then we had to wait another 30 minutes for her to wake up so I could take her home.

She was the most alert of my three kids after the surgery. She sat there talking to me with her mouth full of gauze and never closed her eyes once.

She's done really well today and has kept me busy getting her ice packs, frozen yogurt and mashed potatoes and gravy.

I'm glad the worry is over for her.
