Don't be shocked...I'm making a post!

Since it's been so long... I thought I would share a bit of sunshine...


This is Lauren's creation!  With a little help from me, she was arranging her little heart out!

Highlights of the last few months...

Eileen became metal neck (quite fitting, since she has a daughter named Metal Back (Becky)!  She had 2 surgeries this last year (neck fusion on frozen shoulder repair- yes she's now going to be the million dollar woman!  She's teaching piano lessons now...which she swore that she would never do- hence- none of her daughters play the piano!

Paul is loving the Bishop role...we don't see him much!  Still hates BYU.

Elise and Anthony spent some time in Hawaii with the girls- we are all jealous of that!  They have been the Soccer family as of lately and the girls are doing really well!

Terri graduated with her BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing- not BS nursing degree) from Western Governors University.  Working a lot and doing weddings still.

Becky and Kevin are doing well- Becky needs a new back if anyone is willing to give her theirs!  They are going to move to Montana this summer.  The boys are iPod nuts now and text and send videos- they know more that some of us about their iPods (not me though...haha)

Nicole started college at Utah State and is going to be an elementary education teacher!  She's busy with school and now can't travel with me- School Sucks!

Karly and Dee are the same.  Nothing too exciting happening in Smithfield, although all of us are ready for some excitement in their lives (hint hint Karly).  Karly has become quite the crafter- she should start her own blog of stuff she has made- it's really fun to buy stuff and have her make it!

Ryan is working a lot and has been taking a ton of photos- he's quite talented and enjoys it.  He's got a nicer camera than I have, although I still am a Nikon fan... Ryan is really smart in church history, maybe one day he'll be a seminary or institute teacher, who knows.

Hope you enjoyed the catching up!  We will try to be better at updating more often!

The James Family

I was shocked too! But I loved reading all that's going on.

I love that Eileen teaches piano, if we ever get a piano for our kids to practice on we'll hire her to teach our kids!

Love reading about everyone, you guys sound busy!
