One of the reasons I LOVE life in a small town....

Homecoming Parades!!!! Only in a small town do the kids get out of school early so that they can be in and watch the high school's homecoming parade. This is our second year to join in the festivities. Brent even took the day off early. Normally we would have gone to to the game with the rest of the town but we had a church conflict that we felt was a priority. Next year we will be sure to go, though. We ran into the Alfaro's and Pattersons while we were there so here are some fun pics.

Oh, I need to find out when ours is, if it hasn't already passed. I love it that we live in a small town but we're still 40 minutes from downtown Dallas. The best of both worlds.

Wait, you spoke at Stake Conference? We want to hear about it!

I missed stake conference picking family up from the airport, but some friends were talking about how great it was and that "Sis. Argyle's talk was their favorite." Can't believe I missed it! You are awesome...and your words inspired many!

I haven't given up on the pictures. Just gave up on my idea. I need to go to ikea, and the thought hadn't even crossed my mind to look for frames. Thanks!

I told Isaac the Jonas Brothers live in Texas. He was pretty excited. Is it bad when your three year old is in love with the Jonas brothers?!

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who ...

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
