DRINKING FOUNTAIN

I came out to Jamaica's to waste some time waiting for Jimmy to get into town tonight! She fed me and we are heading out to the fair to listen to the Sevy's play. Mya was playing outside and found a drinking fountain and she was so cute trying to get a drink! She also climbed up on the kitchen table all by herself to get a drink of my PEPSI too! Little squirrel!

We went inside and Mya wanted to read a book so Jamaica grabbed the book I made for Mya with all the pictures of her in it! She says "baby" now and it's so cute! In the second video at the end she tells Jamaica "thank you" too!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALEIGH KAYE HANSEN BUG!

Today is my niece's 8th birthday! I can't believe how grown up she is! We had lunch with her at Panda Express today and opened some presents. She is getting baptized over Labor Day so my parents and all of their family will be down so we will have a big bash then for her! I adore Haleigh she is such a sweetheart and so smart and fun! Happy Birthday I LOVE YOU HA!

MOLLY AND ME

My bestest friend Tara and I have been taking Temple Prep together from Brother and Sister Adams. Tara is going through the temple for the first time on August 15th and I'm SO excited for her! I can't wait to see how Heavenly Father will continue to bless her as she attends the temple! We had a discussion and dinner with the Adams' last night and their little Yorkie Mitzi had a baby puppy last week! Her name is Molly and it's a good thing that Sister Adams wants to keep her cause she had a free pass to come live with me after loving on me for an hour!

Oh she was so sweet!

THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE

Jimmy has been telling me about this trailer over the last week and I finally saw it today on my friend Becky's blog. I LOVE IT and am so excited to see it! I hope Jimmy will go with me cause it sorta feels like he disappears on me a little after these amazing weekends we keep having together! Right now he just can't stay with me though :)

MY MYA

Mya was at my office today making a mess and helping me work! Jamaica was on a call so we hung out trying to keep quiet...she's my favorite!

MY TARA

Tara came over and hung with Colls and I for the night! We dyed Tara's hair all dark!

LISA AND EMMA

Lisa and Richard Olivas moved from our office last year and I was SO bummed! Lisa was the office manager that trained me at the baseshop and I LOVE HER! She is so nice and loving! She had 3 girls and now has one more, BABY EMMA! She let me love on her a little at lunch. Thanks Lis I love you and miss you!!! You look so good and your girls are beautiful! You too Rich! :)

EMMA is so sweet she looks like her older sisters! AH-dorable!

JERSEE GIRL AND THE BEST WEEKEND EVER!

Brandon and Lexee were in LA this weekend so I got to go hang out with Jersee all day Friday and Saturday. I loved it, we had so much fun! This was immediately what she put on when she woke up and wanted to watch HSM 3 (we watched it 5 times in 2 days!)

Colls and Amanda and Annice came out to keep us company in the pool, I was a chicken and didn't want to get in cause the water was FREEZING and you can see that it was pretty cloudy. Thanks girls for coming out and hanging! When they left Jersee was a little sad and told me in her squeaky little voice "I love your friends" TOO CUTE!

The next day though we were all ready for the pool and Jersee was so much fun! She's the most animated almost 3 year-old I know.

As you can see she got a little worn out though and wanted to take a nap. Carrie called and was bored so she came and we laid by the pool for a couple hours while Jers was in snoozy land. It's amazing what a little UV can do for you!

This is me with our RS Presidency at our final meeting last night (except Jana our secretary who rocks! she was playing the piano) We had all had a rough day, thanks girls for giving me hope and courage! I love you!

EVERYTHING I LOVE IS IN WYOMING

My dad got his ram this last year and is VERY proud! Mya is so cute, I'm sure she calls it a puppy it's the only word she knows and EVERYTHING is a puppy!

Dear Jimmy L

Hey so my name is Jen and I met your sweet mom Cathy at our singles branch on Sunday with Tara Sullivan. Well, they apparently met for lunch this week and were talking about you and then I entered conversation and now you are blog stalking me! :) (totally kidding)
Thought this might be more productive! 435-272-2021 ;)

SWIMMING PRACTICE

I got switched to enrichment in the Relief Society a month or so ago and this is my first real project...swim lessons!

I separated the girls into groups so we have the Guppies, Barracudas, StarFish, Paranhas, and the ClownFish!

From my first group Tara and Colleen are progressing so fast with their technique!

Tara is so much fun, she took my place in the RS Presidency with the teachers and it's so much fun to serve with her! She is doing great with her FLIP TURNS!

Colleen is my cousin/roommate and she is not known for her athletic ability but she is an AWESOME swimmer!

I was really having fun with Kris during our last practice! She loves the water and does not love the deep end. She was the most nervous in the deep end! We over came so much in that practice and I got her going under water for 3 seconds! She came up to me at today's practice and told me that she wanted to make sure she told me thank you for helping her not be afraid to go under water cause the next day she went to the city pool and got caught under water after going on the hydro tube slide. She was grateful to me that I helped her and she was so grateful that I spend the time with her

Tina and Melissa are truly the funnest girls! Tina is a water baby and is constantly all over the place in the pool just loving it. Melissa has the BEST kick and they are so positive and just great swimmers! Amanda is scared of the deep end, last week we tried to venture over there but it was a no go. Today we made real progress with sticking her head in the water and she hung out with her kick board in the deep end.
Annice is recovering from foot surgery and we are having so much fun making progress with her. She swam the whole length of the pool today!

I love these girls! I am so proud of their progess. It brings me so much JOY to be able to serve them and see them overcome their fears or insecurities. They then are gaining confidence and courage in the pool and are becoming great swimmers and enjoying it!

KEEP IT UP GIRLS!
