Sheri on the White Sands at White Sands National Park in New Mexico

 Sheri checks out the white sand barefooted.  I did follow her up.  It feels different than you think it would.  It is not salty.

Sheri's Birthday

First part of May was Sheri's birthday.  I took off a little early so I could head to Walmart.  I got flowers, and Pioneer Woman dishes.  Sheri has been slowly getting more and more pioneer Woman items.  We did an unmatched set, plates and salad plates.

Saying Goodbye Is a Pain

My kids are headed back to BYU Idaho.  Caleb, Annie and Miranda all go to school there, and I guess school starts next week, so they are all headed back.  They all stayed the summer with us.  Yesterday morning I was up early to bid goodbye to Annie, Caleb and Baby Todd.
Yesterday it was Annie and Caleb's turn.  They had there car stuffed, and barely had room for bodies.   Of course Todd went with them.  They hoped to be off by 4, so I went down.  They got up just after 4 and were off before 5.

 Next day we were destined to do the same thing.  Sheri is taking Miranda to school, while I am staying home guarding the house and making it so Tony doesn't miss school.  They left just after 5 today.  They had to wake me up to come down and say goodbye.

Happy Anniversary (34) to Us

We went to Alviso for our birthday.  Ae at two so-so restaurants.  Vahl's in Alviso wasn't as good as I was expecting.  And then Bill's restaurant for breakfast also disappointed.  However the company did not.  We took a tour of Alviso, and walked out to the bay at Alviso Marina.

Happy Mother's Day; Happy Birthday

Sheri had two celebrations a week apart this year.  Some years they are on the same day.  For her birthday Charity and Anthony and the girls came over.  For Mother's Day Jeremy came over with Kayla and the boys.   Miranda made Texas Sheet cake.  We put on no candles and did not sing.  However Sheri bought herself a new rug and two new chairs for the living room.

New Bed Spread

Nw bed covers make our room look quite different.

The cover is now white and black, retaining the red pillows, and adding red sheets underneath.  Sheri picked this up at IKEA.

Charity and Sheri Attend Women's Session and Tony Has His First Zit

This Saturday it fell to me to watch the kids while Sheri and charity went to conference.  I had Jesse, tony's friend from San Jose, and Camberly and Hayley Dawn.  It was hard keeping track of Hayley Dawn as she wanted to play outside.  We went out for a while and she chased a ball around the court, and Tony and Jesse kicked a ball, and Camberly helped Hayley Dawn.
We got a notice on our basketball hoop that they don't like it on the road, so I moved it to the driveway.  Later, Jesse and the girls were out back, and Jesse turned on the hose.  Camberly fell and got her bum wet.  She wanted a change of clothes, but I din't have any.  She sat with me on a towel and I tried to dry her.  She fell asleep, and I was stuck underneath her the rest of the night.  (Half hour until the women came home.  I tried to watch the session, but just got the songs.


Then last night Sheri and Tony were complaining about marks they have.  I felt they both looked like spider bites.  However Sheri Popped Tony's first zit ever tonight.  Tony is worried this means he is getting old.  Maybe it does.  I am still not sure what Sheri's is.
