And so it has begun...

ALL the boys have been gone ALL morning! Nephi will be home in an hour. The bus came just after 7 a.m. so I have been a busy bee. I got all the laundry done, 6 qts of pears processed, about 6 cups applesauce made and even got a shower! Woohoo! I think I am going to like this school year! Oh - I cranked up the volume on Russell's computer (it's better than mine) and have been listening to my favorite music all morning! (And no one is complaining they don't like it!) lol

Sometimes I look forward to that day when all of the kids are in school and I have the WHOLE day to myself...selfish right! It looks like you guys have been very busy and lots has happened. I'm glad that Nephi's leg is healing...I like the bright, blue cast!

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
