Preslee Sullenger

Brian and I read a sad story about a young family just like ours in the Rexburg area that lost their little girl in a drowning accident.

I met Ashley Sullenger when I lived in the Nauvoo House at BYU-Idaho. I recognized her picture when we visited their blog. I believe she is from Rigby which is just south of Rexburg.

Their example of faith is one that inspires me so much. I can't imgaine going through such a trial without the hope of the resurrection and the knowledge of eternal families.

I'm not sure what the financial situation of this young couple is but you can donate money to help with Preslee's medical costs at: http://helpsullengers.blogspot.com/

There is a link to their family blog on the above website as well if you want to learn more about Preslee.

Rollerblading at Warp Speed

What happens when you put Brian in roller blades and give him charge of the jogger stroller?


This happens...

I could barely keep up with them on a bike! Brian was going so fast I could have killed him. Notice David's hair and toes. He didn't know what hit him but he sure liked it.

Toads, Beetles, Bats!

Hello all. The title comes from Wednesday Wars. Have you read it?

The line "Toads, Beetles, Bats" is quoted only when the stinkiest of problems occur.

My problem occurred early yesterday morning...like 4:30 AM early. My eardrum ruptured.

The pain was second only to giving birth to David. I cried like a baby. I didn't hold back at all. You can only imagine what I sounded like during labor.

I'm on antibiotics and feeling much better and feeling a little sorry for myself. I seem to get the worst case scenario of every cold. My immune system could use a boost.

I'm trying to get used to being temporarily deaf in one ear. It is absolutely annoying.

We have been so busy, busy, busy. I recently got back from a three week trip to Utah/Yellowstone. It was glorious. Brian got back from Philmont not long ago and he says that he'll post a little about it soon.

We also finished up Youth Conference in the Houston North Stake. Brian and I helped with the YC music. Brian wrote a great theme song that the kids all liked. We also were adult leaders so we got to be in charge of about 10 youth during the conference.

So there will be pictures to come of everything...but our camera is currently only taking blurry photos and nothing will upload from the memory card. Toads, beetles, bats.
