More Memories... Love, Mikayla (hey, my MOM doesn't post, so can't I?).

I've always known Dallin looked like that...

Okay, this is Mom in a very embarrassing position!
Crazy Launi Loo...Mom's Little Sis.
This is Megan and part of Gramalinda-NOTICE: See the edge of the chair on Nutmeg's head that looks like horns...?
Hey, look, Grandma and I even got (part) of Grandpa! And Ellie!

Tiny Little grew up so fast.....
Whoo, whoo! Check out Mamasita!

Uh, err, that isn't me with that weird brother. Nope, not me...

Mom and Daddy in Rome.

I have a weird family...

Evie on her 1st B-Day.


We Love You Guys Buckets Full!!!

P.S. Please forgive our random weirdness-hey, it runs in the family, doesn't it?
P.P.S. Also forgive my mother- Mom's excuses are, "I don't have time." or "I can't find time." and her personal favorite (she says this almost every time I remind her or ask her about the blog), "I forgot."

Memory Lane

I had some time on my hands and thought you might enjoy a trip down memory lane. Love you all.

To all my fellow Americans

First off, don't even try to make me feel guilty because it's my daughter that has to post in order for you to know anything about us. I know how much everyone wants to know and see about things that are going on in our lives and I can say that because of how much I love reading everyone else's. However, I need help! I seriously don't know where you all get time to do the blog thing so could you please give me some pointers on how I can keep an updated blog? Time is so precious to me and I just haven't been able to keep this up and all the other mom/wife responsibilities that I have. No, I don't need a pity party, I just need some advice. So, let the good times roll! Love to all xoxoxox

In Memory of Penny....

Hey Guys! It's MJ. Sorry my mom hasn't posted in, well, since July, but I wanted to show Jenny Penny something... remember those chinese take-out boxes you gave me? Well, one lazy Sunday afternoon, me and my friend from church-her name is Melia- took them and made them look SO CUTE! We put stickers on the front and back and put cute beads on the wire handle... they are so cool! THANK YOU, PENNY!

Introducing................

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for these photos so........... it is with great pleasure that I proudly present your 2009 Art Director of the Year, my husband ( and pretty sexy one at that) Mr. Matthew Wilson!

Last Saturday Matt and I attended the 24th annual Addy Awards held here in Arizona. The Addy Awards are given to different advertising agencies that have raised the bar when it comes to advertising so receiving one is really quite an honor. There were 744 entries from 52 Phoenix companies and we had no idea that Matthew would be honored in this way. He won the award because of the work he has done this past year, but specifically for the work he did for the Grand Canyon  Summer Games. Like I said, it was a surprise and I know I can say this to all of you because I know you know me but I was so proud of him! When they read his name I wanted to cry - in fact I did!  I just had a flash of feelings and memories of my cute little husband up late to get things put together for clients, going in much to early to come up with some new presentation because he's meeting with the client in 4 hours and has no idea what he's going to be presenting because they have vetoed everything he has already presented and have given him absolutely no creative liberty - mostly because of budget cuts, or all the late nights of missing the family prayers, or family dinners because he has to tie up loose ends. FINALLY! I finally felt like he was receiving some well deserved recognition. I know that he knows how wonderful and incredibly talented I think he is, but I also recognize how important it was for him to receive that confirmation from his peers. 

So, Matthew, congratulations. You will always be the reigning champion in my eyes!

Thought for the day: As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.   Paul Shane Spear

To Matthew, you have forever changed my world - for the best! xoxoxoxo to you!

Needing your assistance

So, as you all know, we are in the process of finishing our den. Tonight we will be painting the walls and before we do, I am wondering if you could give me some of your opinions. We have a deep dark brown and a creme for the paint. Our desk will be black and dark brown. I'm needing to paint the walls and the bookcase-storage bench so let me know what you think. All opinions will be considered. Yes, even yours, Dad. Thanks for your help! Lindy
