Spring

I really am trying to do better updating.  Here's a quick catch up.

 My first daughter to attend Prom.  It was fun to be able to help with the dress, etc.  He asked her in a very sweet way.  First of all, he called and asked my permission to take her.  I thought that was very respectful. Colors were red and white and the theme was Taylor Swift. He composed a poem with every song that Taylor has done to ask her.  It is in her scrapbook. He decorated her room red and white with kisses all over the floor.  She answered him by having each of his teachers during the day hand him a CD with a Taylor Swift lyric on it.  The boys had a basketball game that day and she had the bus driver give him the last CD and then she decorated his car with a big yes on the windshield.

Jazz and Rich Martinez

Jazz is on a club volleyball team.  As a fundraiser, they held a luau.  They had dancers from maybe 8 or 9 islands entertain us.  It was really fun.  One of my friends son, who is seven, was getting soooo embarrassed watching the girls shake it.  Oh, to be young and innocent again.

We had our ward spring party.  Picnic and old fashioned races.  Three legged, gunny sac, egg toss, etc.  It was a blast.  Look at my long hair. Oh, long hair, how I miss you grazing my back.  I've cut about 6 inches off and got bangs.  REGRET!  I dont know why I do that.  I regret my decision every time. 

Some of the adults cheating. What?? Grown men dont cheat.

So far, spring has been wonderful, although I will never complain about our winters.  I dont even think I put a winter coat on this year. 

Im Back

It seems as if almost every talk in church or article in the Ensign, etc have been about family history, so, I have decided to start up my blog again.  One day I hope to make them into books for my posterity to read. I dont have the most exciting life in the world, but it's my life and I love it!! 

 Last weekend, we went to the NCAA PAC 12 tournament in Vegas. 

Jazz and Bud with the Oregon Duck.  I think this was their favorite part.

This pic was taken by an extremely drunk man.  It was nice of him to offer, though.  The first pic he took had his thumb in the picture. 

Robbs "picture" face.  Its pretty sexy, isnt it?

One of my favorite parts of these two games we went to were the University of Arizona fans.  They were out in droves.  The whole arena was red and we had to have heard the "U of A" chant fifty thousand times. They love their team.  I love where we live and I love doing anything with my family. I also am excited to be back online.   

Night Before Christmas, Pulver Style

Twas two weeks before Christmas and all thru our home, every creature was busy, even Jem writing this poem.  Our stockings weren't hung, as no chimney have we. We live in the desert. What're you thinkin, silly?  No children were nestled all snug in their bed. They were both at practice, doing as their coaches said. And Robb with his running shoes and softball attire, was trying to keep up old age, a feat that is dire.

Looking back on the year, we've had such a great time. I will try and describe it in the form of a rhyme:

I will start with our "baby". He is getting too old. He turned 12 this year, so the Priesthood he does hold.  He played baseball, basketball and XBOX a ton. He's a master babysitter. All the kids find him fun!  He attended scout camp, grew 6 inches and went to Disneyland for school.  His niece and his nephew sure think that he's cool.

Jasmine turned 16, and on dates she does go.  She was crowned homecoming princess,  but had to attend with no beau. She wasn't yet of age, and her parents are mean. Boy, isn't it rough, being a teen? Volleyball and basketball, her time it does kill.  She also attended a church service camp, and much joy she did feel.

My hunk of a husband, boy, what can I say?  He has something going on almost every day.  Three jobs he does hold and in church a new call.  He's the new Young Mens president. Those boys are going to have a ball!  With all his activities, he still knows how to have fun.  He makes time to play softball, golf and even run.

Primary, choir and stake pianist are what I'm about.  I sure am thankful that those piano lessons
I stuck out.  I still love my job, our new house and our un-winter-like weather.  I see my grand-babies whenever I want and there's just nothing better.  I keep super busy following my crew. And to be honest and truthful, there's nothing else I'd rather do.

Our lives are chaotic, not a moment to spare. But we like it that way. Dull and boring. . .we wouldn't dare!  Our holiday wish is that you're loving life too.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from the Pulver crew!!
