Treasured Moments: September 2012

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 28, 2012. OKhere is my newest confession:. I love dinner plates. The kind you actually eat off of, not the kind that you hang on the wall (no fun there). So, it is with much pleasure that I plan their demise. "Their eternal demise". There are so many out there waiting for me to find them and love them and share them with the family that I love. I want fancy ones:. And we must not forget my favorite. Wish me luck with my addiction and recovery. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Treasured Moments: July 2011

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 28, 2011. Zacky was the 1st off the high dive - ever the 1st child syndrome :). Not to be out performed, Mikey tried the diving board for the 1st time ever and immediately went to the high dive. Mamma's so proud! Tommy's 1st time without a life jacket - baby's all growd up, now! Scotty's 1st time ever off a diving board - so brave! Emily only likes the shallow end. The family pic - can you tell who hates going swimming? Tommy and Scotty with the car Tommy gave to him for his birthday.

Treasured Moments: Freedom Festival 2011

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2011/07/freedom-festival-2011.html

Saturday, July 2, 2011. We woke up this morning around 5:40 am to get to Provo by 6:30 am. Apparently, when they say they'll start the balloons at 6:30, they really mean 6:00. They were almost all full and ready to go by the time we got there. Bummer. I guess next year, we'll have to wake up at 5:00 am - UGH. Anyway, the weather was still cool and the crowds were friendly. We ran into Zack's older brother Matt and his family as well as a few other fun people. July 2, 2011 at 10:12 AM. Tyler and Amber G.

Treasured Moments: Crocodile Dundee Jr.

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2011/07/crocodile-dundee-jr.html

Thursday, July 14, 2011. A few weeks ago, Mikey's grandfather bought him a small knife to use on his camp outs. He does, after all, have his Tote-N-Chip card. Which apparently means to Mikey, that he is fully entrusted with knives and all that goes with them, regardless of his less than stellar judgement and self-discipline. Anyway, after he returned from his camp out, Mikey asked, "Can I get a machete? Zack, very tongue in cheek said, "Gee, I don't know Mikey, let's go ask your mom.". That is so cute!

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-tender-tugs-of-ones-strings-be.html

Friday, April 12, 2013. The tender tugs of ones' heart strings can be a battle never won. I was able to travel with Zack to San Antonio, Texas for one of his business trips. It had been well over a decade since I had been able to walk on that sweet ground. I enjoyed every second of every minute I had there. I loved spending my time with my sweetheart in my home state. I had failed to realize that once a Texan, always a Texan. I could share with someone the preciousness of HOME. Where does this come from?

Treasured Moments: The new do & Cher

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-do-cher.html

Tuesday, July 19, 2011. The new do and Cher. Emily got her hair cut today. She was so excited. She refers to it as, "I get to take a hair a cut! Anyway, we think she looks great. She lost about 4 1/2 inches! Her hair was getting so long that she was starting to remind me of Cher (a much more modest and cute one)! Sadly, our lighting is so dim that it makes her a tad unhealthy looking, but whatever. Speaking of Cher - this totally cracks me up. July 19, 2011 at 9:10 PM. Ahhhhshe looks so beautiful!

Treasured Moments: M.I.A.

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2011/11/mia.html

Tuesday, November 15, 2011. It has been way too long since I've dropped by. I guess I was just in a funk or something just as depressing/boring. Plus, I was a little addicted to watching the TV show of Alias on DVD. All 5 seasons, in less than two weeks' time, but that's normal, right? Today, I am going to share a little secret. OK, maybe not a secret at all to most, but. I am looking forward to enjoying and living life again. It's been a long time coming. It makes me WANT to be productive. Mother of 4 g...

Treasured Moments: January 2012

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 5, 2012. I love the start of a new year. I love fresh beginnings, re-do's, and start overs. Isn't that what this life is about? Anyway, one of my New Year's resolutions is to be a more positive person. It's kind of sad that this is on my list because I actually used to be a very positive thinker. So far this year, I'm not doing too well and it's only the 5th day. Think positively, Amber! Start over: So far, I can do better! Who lives in my ward. And by snarfing chocolate.

http://meetthechurches.blogspot.com/2012/06/hey-remember-me-i-am-back-and-i-have.html

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. I am back and I have a lot to catch up on. I have to remember that my blog is my journal, Facebook is not. So.on to the recap! We have never told our kids about our big trips. We like to keep it a surprise and it keeps the kids from asking if it's time to go yet for weeks before it is. Here is a sample of their reactions. You'll have to pardon the messy bedroom, the drool, and the partial nudity (ish). After about the 17th, "Look mom, no hands" type of joke, I started to get mad...
