Book I just ready and other stuff maybe...





Read Escape over the week. It is a good book and I wasnt "bored" while reading it. Rather it was pretty infuriating how the FLDS cult works. In the end it was good she got away. But it was to bad her daughter decided to return when she turned 18. And she hasnt heard from her since. To bad.







I cant believe today is so nice, after that crappy week we had.



Memorial day is a HUGE deal in my family. We just dont go or gally hopping around instead we go to the cemetery's and such. We have always honored and respected our Veterans and loved ones that have passed on. So yesterday was no different. Jared and I got up at 6am to get ready for the day. We drove the hour down to Lehi to meet Jareds grandma at her house. We always ride with or follow her to grandpas grave. He is always the first one we visit. Sometimes Memorial Day falls on his birthday. It was one of his favorite holidays. We decorate the grave with mums and other flowers and LOTS AND LOTS of flags. He was a WWII Veteran and recieved the Purple Heart twice. And fought in the invasion of Normandy and Battle of the Buldge. He was a rifleman in the infantry. After his grave we go to the Pleasant Grove cemetery to visit the pioneer and family graves. Jareds Grandpa was a Winters and there are a lot of family in that cemetery. And the Sunbergs. We walk from grave to grave placing flowers and visiting as a family usually there are about 20 of us or more walking around sometimes 30 or more. But yesterday there was only about 12 or so of us maybe 15. (because of the weather and those pregnant who have a hard time getting up in the morning and driving an hour) It was fun because we where place a flower on one of the great great great grandsons who died the day he was born and we where all visiting and an older couple walks up and Cam asks whos grave she was at. And she said it was her songs grave, then they walked to a really really old grave next to where everyone was standing and so Cam again asked whos grave that was, and they older man replied that it was his grandmothers grave, and he was Oscar Winters. Well come to find out we are all related LOL so grandma and this guy where going on about family and who each other knew. It was fun. Then we left and went to the church to have a lunch, play games and have a little memorial thing for grandpa that we do. We saw all his medals and patches. And read about his unit and a soldier poem. We then played bingo and then visited some more. It was a really good day =)

Oh I wish I knew about dino's earlier



So my mom bought my nephews a HUGE dino set for Christmas. But my sister never came and got them, and didnt show interest, and being as we arent aloud to visit Aiden they never got to them. So my mom was cleaning out the basement and decided to give Cam this set. So I brought it home, and Cam got so excited and went right into her room to clean it without me asking. So after she was done she asked me to put it together. Well I did and it took FOREVER....well not quite but 45 minutes or so. But once I did the picture is the final result. There are about 15 or so dino's and this castle looking thing. Well its been 3 hours and going and Cam is still playing with it. I hope she keeps interest in it. But she has her favorite the saber tooth tiger.


This was a month or so ago. Cam got her chalk and was having fun on the sidewalk!!!


The pictures of the bathroom didnt turn out so I will post those later as I get new ones. This week has been pretty good. Jared finally got the bathroom finished Dang leaky faucet!!!
