Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

9 Year Roommate Reunion


I had the most amazing weekend with 6 of my freshmen year roommates. We moved into Caroll Hall 9 years ago as total strangers, and came out as best friends. We have kept in touch the last 9 years and have been bridesmaids for each other. We now have 13 kids on the way plus two more due this year.

All the hubbys stayed home and watched the kids, they were wonderful. We did have a few who came, Michelle's Evie (9 months) who was a doll, you hardly knew she was there. And Kallista's little boy Dallin (5 months), so fun. They were adorable.

We went to Kallista's house and stayed with them they are house sitting their parent's house while they are on a mission to New Zealand. It was the perfect spot!
Top Row: Tiffany, Cathi, Rhonda, Bottom Row: Andrea, Michelle, Kallista, Naomi

We did a lot of relaxing, Cross stitching to keep my hands busy.
We watched our Token Rooomate movie "A Walk to Remember" and did our token Dance!


We went out tot this cool restaurant where for fun they pour water into your glass from way up high. I got a little wet ;)


The Babes
We went to the San Luis Obispo Farmer's Market- here is the Gum wall, gross right?
Enjoying the night life with no kids!
Beach Day!
Surfing! The water was freezing! Andrea and Kallista actually got in!

We also went Kyaking that was a blast!
We were snuggled close through out the weekend, in luxurious beds with no kids to wake us up in the middle of the night!
We also have turned out to be amazing cooks (not that we wern't before) be we spoiled ourselves with some amazing recipe's plus went out a few times.

Sounds like so much fun! So I totally think I know your old roommate Andrea. I'm pretty sure she was in my grad program at the U! I love her! She is so much fun!! Tell her I said hi and we are having a little reunion party for all of the graduates on June 18th so she can make it so I can see her then. Small world!
