Hello again!

Last Saturday at 9:00 am it was 101, and it stayed pretty steady thru noon (then, I left the parking lot by the bank, and didn't see the temp every 30 seconds.- I was doing farmers market from 7 to 11:30-ish.) it finally cooled off a little though. right now it's 88 and partly cloudy.

For the first time since we've been out here, there have been burn bans because it is so dry- like you find in ID fireworks, you can only do small ones, and only on 4th of July. To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten they even HAD sprinklers out here.

I made a cake for Brieanna's b-day today. It's a carousel cake that my mom made me years ago for my birthday, and they don't make this particular set anymore. Anyway, I did that for her cake. I'll post pix. it turned out pretty good for a first try frosting and decorating a cake. I'm staying up tonight doing baking for farmers market. We stay up Thursday night and Friday night to bake for it, because its too hot to bake during the day. I'm almost 60 percent done with personal progress, I'm close to getting my drivers license, I'm staying busy with school, kids, friends, and things at church. Brieanna is 12, and her first baptisms at the temple are next Thursday, so I'm staying home and babysitting so Mom can go with. It's pretty weird still to be called 'Aunt Celina' and to hear my parents referred to as Grandpa and Grandma Wright- I hear that and think of MY grandparents. really weird. the babies are way too cute though.

Angus thinks Kyle is a 'traitor' because Kyle loves to sit and watch Barbie movies. Mom finds some of them cute, and the others beyond ridiculous. It's really funny. I haven't worked on my book in quite awhile, I simply haven't had time.

I plan on doing a lot of sewing soon, because I'm doing a lot of sewing projects for personal progress. It'll be fun.

Love you all! -yeah, yeah, I need to post about camp and my date that I had last winter, and about the Multi cultural celebration, etc.... I'll do that eventually...... maybe..... possibly.....hopefully...

Quick Hello

Things have been really crazy here, so I haven't really had time to update. So, Here's the power points without details. Let me get through the next 3 weeks (give or take..) and I'll add some details.
1. Taylor is on his mission now, & has been since March.
2. Angus & I are in seminary, and seminary's almost over, and I can't wait.- less stress that way.
3. Angus & are participating in the Multi-Cultural Celebration, and the performance is on May 5th - A WEEK FROM SATURDAY!!!!!
4. I got some super cute pix of Caleb. -Really, they are adorable, I caught his smile on camera.
5. Rezielle found an awesome site. weddinglds.com - wedding tips for everyone.
6. I'm still working on personal progress.
7. I'm still working on my GED
8. I'm still working on getting my drivers license- the car I was going to take my test in, well, the mechanic suggested we just read the poor thing it's last rites......
9.  This will be my last year of camp.
10. And, as always, I'm still certifiably insane.

Seminary ends around the same time that the Celebration is, and camp is at the end of May.

Now here's the secret...... I thought this year would be easy.... THAT'S A LAUGH!!!! 

Angus & I had a shift at the open house on April 17th. It went really well. We might be able to help out again on Saturday. Here's hoping.

Love you all!

Oh, at our shift, I was paired with some girls who remembered as Alice - funny huh? amazing how a nickname can stick with a person. ^.^

A Welcome and a Goodbye

We say welcome home to Caleb and Mommy today, and in 12 days we will say goodbye to Taylor.

Caleb is doing good, We got to hold him after he got home - I got to pull him out of his car seat and hold him first - Taylor was the first of us kids to hold him, btw.

Anyway, I am now registered for camp, YAY!! I will be a senior youth camp leader, and the theme this year is Train to Obtain - based on the temple, and the Olympics. It'll be a lot of fun. We did first aid cert. on Wednesday.


Multi-Cultural Celebration for the temple is going to be incredible.  We are practicing songs, and dances, and getting to know one another. It's a huge deal.

Miss everyone.

Love,
~Alice~

And The Baby's Name Is.......

Johnathan Caleb. CUTE right? Totally fits. Mom says he's doing a lot better, he's moving around a lot more, and is completely adorable. Life's crazy on this end, but we're doing good as well.

Love you All!

Thought Y'all Would Like To Know....

That I have a new baby brother, who is still un-named, and absolutely gorgeous. He is 8 pounds, about 5 weeks early, and has a head full of almost black hair (or it is black, but I'm not sure cuz the lighting was bad.) I'll post more info as I get it. Both mom and baby are doing great, and I'm going crazy. GUESS WHAT! I have a stikin COLD SORE!!! Me! I've never gotten them before, and I REALLY don't like them. Other than that, I'm doin' OK. Life's hectic of course, but thats to be expected.
Love you all!
