7 WEIRD THINGS - TAGGED BY SHERRIE

1. I don't like my eyebrow hair hanging in the wrong direction.

2. Sometimes I'll tickle my arms to fall asleep.

3. I can't go to bed if my feet are dirty.

4. I don't like my food to touch if it has any kind of liquidy content.

5. I really am more of a night person, but you wouldn't know that because I go to bed early and wake up early because of Rich and mine's jobs.

6. I pick at scabs even when I shouldn't.

7. I am a little obsessed with washing my hands.

I tag All Ya'all!!!!

EJ's Field Trip to the Apple Farm

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to go with EJ and his 1st grade class to the Springdale Apple Farm. We had a really great time and it was fun for the kids to see how the whole process works. EJ is my little sweetheart and he is always thrilled to hang out with me, so of course we had the best time! P.S. If you ever get to go up there, you have to eat one of their sandwiches - they are awesome!

Wrestling Season is Approaching...

CAN YOU HANDLE IT??? ARE YOU READY??? Well, I am!!! It is the time of year we look forward to, because my boys can dispurse the energy they have somewhere besides my living room! Wrestling season will start in just over a week and Rhett has informed me that he will be joining his brothers this year (yes, he actually is old enough). This picture is adorable. We found this old "homemade" wrestling singlet in a box from Richard's parents' attic when they were cleaning it out the other day. I'm sure Richard and his brothers probably all got to wear this. Little man loves it so much, he sleeps in it quite a bit. More pictures to come...

Happy Birthday Princess Alayna!

I know, I'm a little late, but like I said I'm trying to play catch up. We celebrated Alayna's birthday with a luau party on her birthday complete with limbo, pizza making (okay so maybe that's not hawaiian, but the girls liked it), lais, and a fun pinata. The girls had a blast and I believe we had 18 of them showup not including my children. Alayna had so much fun and she had an extra fun time the weekend before when her Grandma took her to Disneyland. Overall, I think she had a great birthday. Here are some of the wonderful things about Alayna...
1) She is a genuine sweetheart with a heart of gold...sometimes too soft (she tears up so easy)
2) She will do whatever you ask her to, even if she really doesn't want to
3) She is the first to accomplish a task I ask everyone to do together!
4) She looks adorable when she giggles
5) She loves her friends and is close to them (and they adore her)
6) She will make a wonderful Mom some day
7) I am so glad she is my baby girl! (that's right, my baby - I know she is 9 but she's the youngest girl I have)

Happy Birthday Princess!

Tribute to Grandma Wright

This was a beautiful display they put together at the viewing before her funeral. These are my cute nieces. Shani did the flowers.



This is only the Hirschi portion of the family at the cemetary after the end of the funeral. All of the Wright family that was there would not fit in one picture - it was crazy!



We are so sad but happy for the loss of our Grandma Wright. We will miss her hugs & kisses, her molasses candy, and her cute little personality, but we are so thrilled for her heavenly reunion and the celebration she is having up there. She passed away a few weeks ago and we had her funeral the very end of September, but I haven't had a minute to post since then, so I will just have to catch you up now. She had a stroke on a Tuesday and was unable to swallow or barely open her eyes after that. We were all able to spend some wonderful time with her as she rested at Aunt Sheila's house. Much of the family came down and visited with her and we prayed together and visited together. Really, it was a beautiful family reunion - and a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady. Her funeral was beautiful and myself and my sister-in-law Kristine and cousin Shani all were privileged to sing in the funeral. It was a beautiful honor. We will miss her dearly. Thank goodness for temple blessings and for the knowledge we have.
