Spen and Joce's Bee theory

We got talking Sat afternoon and came up with the following:

Being as Dad is terribly allergic to bee's and money is supposedly tight and Mom is on a strict budget AND Dad has a rediculous amount of life insurance the obvious answer is -

that Mom is trying to kill dad for his life insurance money!

What are we going to do with that woman. Even though Dad's net worth has dropped like the water at Utah Lake, we all still love him. But you know Mom, always out for the $$$$!!!!
Don't you all miss my sass? I sure miss all of you. It's almost May!! Yeah!

BEEKEEPING

Dear Fam, congrates to Jerry and Jason on a new baby to come, ConGRATULATIONS TO jOCELYN ON BEING THE NEW PRIMARY pRES IN THE sINGAPORE EXPAT WARD. I am studing the beekeeping for dummies book to learn how to care for a backyard beehive. Bees are the most facinating of creatures. Did you know the worker bees only have a live span of 6 weeks and all the queen does is lay eggs her whole life. For two years. Grahams brother Trevor is helping me get my queen and first swarm. I am going to teach my grandchildren to love honey bees and not be afraid of them. Nature and Heavenly fathers creations are amazing in paralleles to our own life. Just like my chickens. I sure miss fresh eggs daily. Kelbys' graduation is May 23rd at 11;00 and then we fly from St. George at 2;50 to go to Atlanta Georgia by 10;30 to be with Yuba and Goldie in the Temple for their endowments and sealing the next day. What a wonderful occasion to see all my brothers children sealed to their spouces and living the Gospel. I am a blessed girl. My own posterity are also holding onto the Iron rod. I am grateful every day! Speaking of blessings, I sure have alot of family names that need the inititory done for both men and women. I sure would like to baby sit while some of you couples take advantage of the wonderful reminders of those beautiful blessings of the inititory. Sure love each of you>>>>>> mom

I had to put this picture on of Jovie washing our car, b/c Friday I was talking about how dirty it is and that I need to get it washed b/c everyone in Singapore keeps their cars soooo clean. The next morning here she is. The saddest part is that Spen and I were still in bed and she had Ava out there with her. (We did get up at 4:30 am to take nan and ash to the airport so we did deserve to sleep in a little.)The second picture is of me dressed Indian for our ward party. It was fun! THe last is a collage SPen did of our first 6 weeks in Singapore. Hopefully you can see it. Thanks to everyone for helping with Ash's kids so she could be here with us. We thoroughly enjoyed having them here and can't wait for all of you to come!

Homeword Bound

I can't believe this trip is coming to a end. It seems like I was just starting a new life here. It feels like I have been here forever. I'am starting to feel sad to leave them but excited to get home. I have really had a good time. I love Jovie she is so cute and sweet. I love her. We have had a good time I just wish the Steven's were coming home with us. This place is amazing, it totally is a fast pace world over here. They are also so into education and they have lots of homework and have to study hard. Joce has just adjusted to her new life here. They are all going to be sad when we leave. Well we sure all you all and have lots of pic and stories to tell. See you Sat.

Hey Everyone, Just thought I would show you a cute picture from our fun trip to St. George with the Millers and Poppy. It was so nice to be in the sunshine and just relax. Brea got these goggles(although she insists they are called "knuckles") in the grocery store and insisted on wearing them the whole time we shopped. It was so funny and cute. She never suprises me anymore. I just expect her to do something so funny most places we go. Her and Tori had fun playing in the pool and wearing their goggles. Camerons farwell was nice and it was fun to go to Linda's after for lunch. They asked about all of you.


Brea loves to play "mommy" with Aniston and had her strapped in her doll stroller pushing her around the house. Aniston was just giggling the whole time. She is a good sport with Brea.
Just a cute classic Brea face, in their Easter dresses. We miss Nanny and Ash and the Stevens. Hope you are all doing well. It sounds like you are having a party over there. Rhonda did you remember to give Spen his birthday card and gift from me? We are excited to see you soon.
Love to all. Jor and Mand

For you Ash!!

Here are your cute kids on Monday when I watched them. Abbie was worried that her teacher was going to think she was wierd becuase she's worn a head band to school everyday. Peyt in the usual, a jersey. We went to Carl's Jr. to meet Ali and Mauri. Peyt had to bring a couple different outfits and half way through the outing he just had to change. He thought Mckay would think he was cool. I tried to tell him otherwise but was unsuccessful. When I was helping him change in the car I noticed he didn't have underwear or socks on!!! You need a bigger car for all the crap your kids think they HAVE to take everywhere.
Your sweet baby that gets into everything! It's going to take him some time to remember You.
When I got to your house Beckham was already dressed and they happened to be wearing the same thing. They were cute. Alton is entertained watching Beckham crawl around and get into everything. At costco that night everyone thought they were twins. You'll be back with your munckins soon. Love you!

Hello!!!!!

Why hasn't anyone posted or commented. I miss all of you and hearing from you. I check my e-mail and the blog everyday and nobody has said anything.
Hello you better all start writing and I also want everyone to come to the airport. or meet us for dinner that night. You guys plan it. Are plane comes in on Sat a 3:50 pm. Loves to everyone.

Painted Toe Party

Ans came up to me tonight and asked me to paint her toes. I did and then Ava saw us and wanted me to do her's. She has been showing everyone them and smiling ever dince I did it. They look so cute on her chubby, tan feet. She is so fetchin' cute. Today when I came downstairs from showering, Jovie was watching her and she saw me and said Ash it was so funny because all she ever say's is MOM!!!!! She is at the funniest stage. I love her.

Rain in Singapore

We thought we would go out for a nice jog this evening. About 2 minutes into it, it started pouring rain. It felt so good and was so much fun. It made the run nice and cool. Spen took this pic of us right when we got home. All the kids came out and played in it too. Mom wouldn't put on her workout clohtes, so her nice outfit got soaked.
