Ahhhh Summer!!

Connor has been enjoying swimming lessons for the first time!

He is doing really great and LOVES the water!

Are you prepared?

Last evening the young men in our ward put on an emergency preparedness BBQ. They had several tables of various mini classes and information on how to be prepared in an emergency situation. I was asked to do a table on Child Safety. In doing a little research for this I came across these disturbing statistics:

A child goes missing every 40 seconds in our country! Thats 2,100 children gone from their families EVERY DAY!!!!!!

In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing every year in our country.

500,000 children go missing WITHOUT even being reported.

Are we prepared if something like this happens to us?

I designed a Child ID Kit for you to print out and have just in case the unthinkable happens to your family.
You can print out your Child ID Kit for free here:

Surprise for Mommy....

Last Friday was my Mom's birthday!
After 66 years what can you do for your mother that you haven't already? Glad you asked!....My sister flew in from N. C. where she moved to a year ago. It was an almost impossible feat to keep this a secret from my mom but we did it!! Here is a clip of my Mommy's Birthday Surprise!

Down to 2....

Well, we are down to 2 VonSchnauzer Minis.

All the girls have found wonderful new homes!
We have our 2 little boys left.This Handsome Boy is X-Man

And this cutie is our runt. His name is Buster Brown.

It is getting harder and harder to part with these little ones! Connor actually cried yesterday when Maggie-Mae found her new home.
