No one is going to beat me this time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAYNE!!!!!!!





It's a little old, a 2002, but a Bugatti *is* a Bugatti! At top speed, a tank of gas will last 12 minutes. Maybe you should stick with the Corvette.

Cute Cookies!




I saw these cookies this morning on one of my friends blogs. I thought they were so cute and had to make them today!! I have to admit for as cute as they are they don't taste as good as I hoped. Oh well though. We still passed them around to some of our friends. Paisley sure thinks they tastes good and that's the most important thing!

Car Problems

As I mentioned in my email, James left Monday for Provo. His interview went really well and he should hear something by Friday. However, upon exiting NuSkin, he found his car (lewis's former car) was dead. Oh no!!! He ended up getting a ride to Joyce's house and a running friend of mine (who is also a BYU professor and leaves on his misison with his wife to Peru this month) helped him get to the car and then to his nephew's car repair place today. About $500 later (new battery and starter motor) he is off and running again. He is learning quickly about trials and faith and the blessings of sometimes seen and unseen angels. Wait.....I think he learned that in Taiwan. Ok so its a refresher course. LOL. The Lord is merciful and the heavens have been opened towards our family of late. I can't tell you what a tremendous blessing it is to have family and friends who act in behalf of the Lord to bring about blessings that would not be realized without the assistance of His earthly helpers. My heart is full.

Happy Birthday to Jonathan


Happy birthday....big #15! Have a happy day!

Love, Dad and all of us!

Jason's Birthday Surprises

We had lots of fun at lunch time! This is Paisley coloring daddy a birthday picture on her new easel!
Then we had yummy sandwiches for lunch. They were delicious!
Then a balloon and candy birthday bouquet surprised Jason at the front door. Paisley was especially excited for the basket of candy holding the balloons. Then Jason opened his presents. First he opened (really paisley opened it) a wireless radio transmitter (I'm not totally sure about this, but apparently it is really cool. yes I did buy it for him not knowing what it was, but I knew he wanted it.)
Then he opened an electricity lab that can do over 75 experiments. I knew my little electrical engineer would love playing with some voltage! We will have to do an update once he has done some of the experiments.
Here is the shot of all his birthday presents.

After he got home from work he had a couple cards to open. Thanks to everyone for the calls, the blog posts and the cards! Hopefully there is some fun left to be had, and hopefully it involved cakes!! We'll be sure and take more pictures of the rest of the evening!

Happy Birthday Jason
