Campaign Slogan...

Alyson likes to be involved in EVERYTHING. So it was no surprise when she told me she wanted to run for Historian at school. Historian is in charge of taking pictures at certain events and also helps out with the yearbook. We need to make 6 campaign posters to hang up in the hallways and I am in need of a catchy slogan.

Of course, there is always....

Alyson Egbert

Egg-cellent Choice for Historian.

or

Got Alyson? She does a student body good.

or

Always Alyson!!!

I don't know! It is hard to rhyme with Egbert. Well, that's what we will be thinking about over the weekend. They can start campaigning on Monday.

What to do???

So we have a weekend with no soccer games, no birthday parties, no church meetings, no nothing!!!!

What is a family to do?

Go to Alamo (we haven't been since early August), Go camping at Quail Creek (in St. George), stay home and do nothing??? I mean there is plenty for us to do at home. We could clean the garage (we would need more than a weekend for that!), we could take off our solar screens and clean them (btw...we've never done that!), there is always yard work to!

Such a tough decision!!!

Debate...

Just turned it off to watch My Name Is Earl..

What a shame!

Trick or Treating is going to suck this year....

Thanks, Jill!

New Addiction....

So, I really need to blog about my trip last weekend but I am waiting for some pictures. I didn't take any good pictures with my own camera so I am waiting for Jenny to send some to me. (Jenny, if you are reading this could you please send me some pictures...)

Also, I've been sucked into Facebook. I've had an account for awhile but didn't realize that's where the party was!!!!


Okay, back to the girls trip. What a blast!!!! We did a lot of laughing, eating and most of all we discovered her.... Joy on My Name is Earl was playing on this very cool airline....JetBlue has satellite TV and radio playing at every headrest in the plane!

So, after watching Joy on the plane on the way to Salt Lake, I knew the weekend was going to ROCK!!!!

New Playlist

Put some new songs on...Turn it up and take a listen.

Unless you don't like any of them, then turn it down....

Update on Gramps...

I thought I would post a quick update on my grandpa. He's been home (in Alamo) for over a week now and is doing better. He was in the hospital for 17 LONG days and some of those days were pretty grim. He's a tough ole' goat and the doctors call him a miracle. Of course he is a miracle, he's my grandpa!!! So many people were praying for him and we continue praying for him daily.

We've been staying pretty busy. Alivia is in preschool 2 days a week (across town), gymnastics and soccer. Alyson is still in piano, soccer (0f course), achievement days and she has a solo in their school play. She would be involved in everything if she had time. Abby is still doing soccer, pulling straight A's and is also in the school play. I am coaching Abby's team still and help out with Alivia's team too. Aaron just works and goes where we tell him...LOL!!! Also, now that the weather is cooling off, the girls spend any extra time outside riding bikes or jumping on the tramp. Life is good!

I love this quote and makes it all worth it...

"Little you can give each other in the family is more powerful than the gift of time, laden with personal interest. It say's "I am here for you. I give you my time.""
