Last Thursday our Stake put on the Ol' Road Shows. They did it a little different in that they only gave us two weeks to put them together. I was asked to put one together for our ward.
We had the best time and laughed hysterically, which is always good for ya!
The first part is the Bishopric's skit. (My cute CK is the one on the right.) In the actual show you can kind of see Loobey in the background, and I got to play the director. Hope you enjoy it!
The theme they gave us was "Nephites take Broadway", so notice how we had our "Nephite" take Broadway. (Our Bishop played the part of our Nephite.)
Here ya go!
Our Road Show!

Alaskan Wedding
This past July CK, Rojita and I got to go up to Alaska for CK's brother, Jeff's wedding. I wasn't all that excited to spend a lot of money for only getting to go for a few days, but we crammed each day full of fun adventures and had a great time. CK and I came to Alaska 10 or so years ago. CK was up there for work and I tagged along and had his biological dad (long story) and his wife show me around. It was February and a lovely snow storm hit us the whole time, so this time it was nice to actually SEE Alaska.
His brother lives in a small town called Soldotna, which is about three hours south of Anchorage. They were married in their backyard, which turned out nice. This is us with the happy couple and CK's bio-dad.
These are Jeff's two beautiful daughters, Jamie and Nicky with my cutie Rojita.
Here's a sight you'll never see again, CK with a cowboy hat. I think he looks pretty darn good!
Rojita is really the only one of our kids that Jeff knows. He moved to Alaska before Big T was born. He was so happy we brought Rojita, he just kept thanking us for bringing her.
One thing we couldn't get over was how long it stayed light there. This picture was taken outside our hotel window at 11:45 P.M. Yes, P.M.!! By the time we got up around 7 a.m. it was bright as mid-day. I don't even think it ever gets completely dark in the summer.
It was such a beautiful time of year to go. Since the summers are so short everything blooms at once. These purple flowers were along side every road. We drove for hours and I so I know, they're along EVERY road! It was just beautiful!
We made our way down to Homer which truly is "the end of the world." It's a small town that the last mile or so of the main road leads you to this long "spit" or peninsula with the most fun shops and the best seafood restaurants lining both sides of the road and nothing but ocean behind them.
One end of the row of shops...
One of my favorite shops there...
This cool place is called the "Salty Dawg Saloon". This inside is completely covered with one dollar bills. People sign their dollar then stick it where ever they want inside. We just stayed long enough to get a quick picture, FYI.
Of course we found a restaurant and CK was in heaven with the King Crab.
And the best part of this whole Homer Spit experience you knew just where to find your hubby...
Like I said it was a whirlwind vacation but so much fun!! We also were able to go to a very neat Ocean aquarium in Seward that was amazing. And one of my favorite parts was being able to attend church up there! I love seeing that the church and the people are pretty much the same wherever you go! So, lots of good times! Happy Marriage, Jeffy and TerryLynn!

Go Jump in a Lake!
This year there were fewer of the fam that were able to go to Bear Lake, but still we had a grand ol' time. Here's some fun picts...
Aunt Candy with Belle...
Cousin Mikey with Belle...
Loobey and "the dad"...
Big T..."GOO!" (The family will appreciate this one.)
Cousin Kyrstin, who I always tease that she should have been mine since she looks more like me than most of my kids, and her "twin" Loobey.
I seriously have been blessed with the greatest family. Not only the one I have now, but the one I was raised in. We're so blessed to all live so near each other and to have the kids grow up knowing and loving each other. My mom has a saying in her house that says, "Grandma's house: where cousins come to be best friends". That pretty much sums it up for where ever we get together. These days of camping together make especially great memories for all of us!

Uintahs
We've had quite the busy summer this year. So here's the start of a Summer Recap! We started off with a quick three day campout at CK's mom's property up in the Uintahs. Breaking out the ol' tent trailor for the first time is always fun!
...and yes, it was a bit on the COLD side!
Our first s'mores of the season..mmmmmmm...
We took a little hike in the morning. Rojita wanted to get a nice workout so she carried little Belle.
I love this picture of Loobey walking by her grandpa. He is 100% cowboy!
One of the days there we flew kites. That seems like a funny thing to do, but we had the greatest time doing it. It's times like these that I sure would love to "freeze" my kids and always have them at this fun age!

Time Warp
Today I was able to go to lunch with some of my favorite people ever! My Tracy friend came in from North Carolina to visit her family, so we arranged a lunch date with her and three other of my dear friends from long ago. It's been over 18 years since we've all been together!
This is Tracy, Jill, me, Sarah and Jeanette.
I went to high school with Tracy, Jill and Jeanette. Sarah came along after and we adopted her as one of our "high school buddies". What great gals! Now just for fun, here's us same gals 19 years ago (in the same order)...
Tracy
Jill
Me
Sarah
Jeanette
It's funny that it's been that many years, yet it feels like yesterday.

Little Levi
Whenever the whole family gets together, for some reason we love to always compare ourselves to our "larger than life" nephew, Levi! Picture one of those big Tongan BYU football players; He's 6'1", 265 lbs., wears size EIGHTEEN shoes and, (here's the kicker...) he THIRTEEN YEARS OLD!
Here's how Levi's foot compares to my sister's.
That's really his shoe!
But best of all, he's an even bigger sweetheart!
(Levi, make sure you remember me when you're rich and famous! ;)

Happy May!
On my side of the family May is a busy birthday month. Here we go... It's Candy, me, Brandon, Aaron, Grandma, Megan, David, Kyrstin, Landon & baby Kaden's birthday month! Wow, did we have a party! And yes, we sang Happy Birthday ten times, with each song louder and more obnoxious than the one before. We make ourselves laugh!
Here's just a few picts from the party.
