Alzheimers Memory Walk

Today Bud and I participated in our first Alzheimers Memory Walk. We were part of team "David and Goliath."

Amy Ernstrom raised over 700.00 for our team and we came in 3rd place in donations. Next year we hope to come in first.

Our team

I feel very blessed because I couldnt think of anyone in our family to walk for. I had to call my mom and ask her for some names.
Amy and Bobby

I love it that my son still likes spending the day with his mom even though we dont do the funnest things.

Murder Party

Last night, I hosted my first "Murder Party". It was a blast. I didnt get a picture of the invitations but my friend, Chris helped me plan. She is the party queen. The invitations were pill bottles and the invite was on the prescription inscription. With the invites were a background on the invitees characters they were going to play. Everyone came in character and that made it extra fun.

The setting was Chicago. We had Chicago playing in the background and everyone brought "pizzas".
We just sat and ate while we tried to figure out "who dunnit".

Bryson aka Professor Harold Chung

Tyler aka mafia man Louis Cagliostro

Katie aka Art Director Margaret Chun

Ken aka party boy Bobby Herrera

Emily aka mysterious woman Pauline Thompson

Chris aka "I get around girl", Fiona McAllister

Robb aka PhD Candidate Timothy Kane

Of course I had Robb be the killer. He fooled everyone for about two hours. I knew he could be sneaky and that he was a good liar. That made him the best actor for the job.

We had a very entertaining night. We even made up our own game called "Hitchhiking to BYU."

Cant wait till our next party!!

Jasmines Birthday

My baby girl became a teenager today.

Things I love about Jasmine:
1) She is a natural leader
2) She has great maternal instincts. She will be an amazing mother one day.
3) She has good self-esteem. Thats an accomplishment when you are this age.
4) Her laugh (It sounds just like my sister, Angies)
5) Her best friend is her grandma
6) She loves the gospel
7) Her athletic ability
8) Her beautiful singing voice
Theres a song by Brittany Spears called "Not a girl, not yet a woman". I love the chorus. It says: "Im not a girl, not yet a woman. All I need is time, a moment that is mine, while Im in between."
I know that Jazz will make her moment great. I am so proud to call her my daughter.
Happy Birthday, baby girl!!
