Welcome to the family, Jessi, we love you!

So proud...


Our youngest son, Aaron, has been "giving back" as he has been coaching West Side Babe Ruth Baseball this year. It has sure taken a lot of time, energy and patience (with the boys and their parents/grandparents). Aaron and Tasha live in Holladay and this league is on the west side of SLC so travel time was one of the sacrifices he made for these kids. Last night was the awards dinner and game between the coaches and 15 yr old players. Nine of Aaron's boys were named all stars and Aaron was "Coach of the Year"!!!
Congrats Huff...you're the "Man of the Year" in my book!
Love you!

Three more pictures from Peru



A baby sloth. Picture taken at a remote village in the Amazon of Peru.

Cute little sloth wouldn't you say! I had seen adult sloths in Costa Rica and their fur looked so coarse. The baby sloth's fur looked coarse as well,
but he was so soft and cuddly!





AMAZING!!!

Is this REALLY a Dairy Queen Birthday Cake????

It has been our tradition for over 20 years to have a Dairy Queen birthday cake for our birthdays. Since there isn't one close to our home anymore we drive quite a distance to get one. Angela is visiting and even though her birthday isn't until June 14th we are celebrating tomorrow by going out to dinner and coming back to the house for cake.

When Tommy walked in the house with the cake, those who saw it made negative comments about it, I was busy and didn't think anything of it....then when I realized what they had said I had to go to the freezer and look for myself.

This cake looks like a 10 year old made it. It is NOT the quality of work that the Centerville, Utah Dairy Queen usually turns out when I order a cake from them. I called and complained, but I imagine nothing will change... he tried to send me a coupon, I said I'm not trying to get anything from you I just don't want to EVER get this quality of bd cake from you again. I told him it was supposed to be yellow, orange, peach and white with green leaves on the roses. Well, for one thing you can't even tell that there are roses on this cake most of them look like blobs of frosting. The quality of frosting is terrible...it has tons of air bubbles in it and like I said the cake looks like it was decorated by a 10 year old...it is hideous--to quote one of my kids. And what about the mechanics blue...I didn't order any shade of blue...

So, anyway these pictures don't do the shabby work justice...
Happy Birthday Ang...

Everyone makes mistakes but you usually try to cover them up.



You should see this mess in real life...

The blob of yellow icing is supposed to be a rose...and all of the flowers are very, very small.

The quality I expected and usually got can be found at: I can't download this image in my blog for some reason...
