Music Man

Sorry you all. We have been so busy while doing our show and our camera is lost!! So hopefully I will be able to get some pictures again someday. So just to let you know the show is fantastic and I am excited to perform this week. Allan is doing great as well and he looks just like a Broadway boy. I have a really cool wig to wear-- so it is nice that I don't have to do my hair every night. The theatre is fabulous and for those of you that are coming you are in for a REAL TREAT!

Happy Father's Day

Me at the San Francisco Zoo. Guess who ended up in that chair??

Dad's pride and joy. Right?


Dad at Ellis Island. He seems interested in something electrical.

Thanks Dad for all that you do. You are a wonderful Dad. Love you.

Allan's Feature!

Allan has been featured in many BYU publications this past year. Here is the most recent one. He is so talented in his field and it is nice that BYU recognizes his abilities and success.

Young Womenhood Recognition Reception

So this past Sunday I put together a reception to help recognize three young women for getting their Young Womanhood Recognition award. This is Allan working hard to mat (by hand) the certificates that the girls would get.

This is how it turned out! It was beautiful. Way to go Allan he always executes my ideas wonderfully. He is so talented. I wish the picture did it more justice.

This is Lauren one of the girls about to hug her Dad. I thought it was a sweet picture.

This is Michele going down the line.

This is Stacey going down the line getting her congratulations.

Getting her necklace on.

Lauren and Stacey they are best friends!

The girls tables.

I got some beautiful bouquets.

Overall for being my first time in charge of such a big event I think it went great. I learned a lot and will hopefully improve each year. And I know the girls enjoyed receiving their award in a special way verses having a flimsy piece of paper pushed at them in Sacrament meeting during announcements. I"M JUST SAYIN'!

Memorial Weekend

There was a fun Memorial Parade in Stamford just steps from our apartment.

This helicopter was massive.

Here I am with one of my favorite babies in the ward. Her Mom and I served together in the nursery for a year and she is the new addition to the family. We had dinner and homemade ice cream to finish off.

We all were hanging out and Hannah and Sophia were born only three days apart and they are best friends.

The ward then had a fabulous party at Tod's point in Greenwich it was a perfect day.

Allan enjoyed being by the water.

The tide was coming in.

Surprise birthday gifts for Corinne

Just to make sure Corinne would remember her 1st quarter-of-a-century birthday, McKell and I picked up a fun little Coach bag for her. I also threw in some snazzy little earrings and took her to a nice Italian restaurant. It was great! Happy Birthday babe!

Some really yummy cookies!

So, we're getting daring with our baking and cooking endeavors! These are red velvet black and white cookies from scratch. Credit goes to Rachael Ray for the recipe. Yum!
