While I was...

While I was_________(I have no legitimate excuses) what did I  miss blogging about? A few things come to mind...

Dad's 60th Birthday!

His Fabulous Cake...Everything but the ribbon was chocolate!  A Hallstrom dream come true...

A trip to Canada with Brett, Julianne and kids...

Ellie is excited to get going!

Emma and Ellie at my parent's 24th of July Pioneer Day party.

Ryan at Drumheller posing with a new friend!

A quick jaunt in August with Erin, Kara and Bri to Cedar City for the wonderful Shakespeare Festival! (Unfortunately, Julianne was not able to go--hopefully next time!)

Of course, we soon wondered what there was to do in Cedar City 'whils't waiting for a play to begin?


We never did find out!
But the plays were fabulous and the outdoor theatre was so William Shakespeare!
Spending a 'few' with the Bard himself!

And of course, it wouldn't be a trip with the girls without the 'take it yourself photo op.'
A trip to Nauvoo in September for a Mission Presidents' Seminar. Fabulous!


A wonderful Thanksgiving where Erin, Kara, Emma and Ellie were good sports!

 Our first Christmas being together in North Salt Lake in four years!  So much fun!

Sadly, I missed posting about Brett's Birthday, Breezy's birthday, Erin's birthday, Julianne's birthday and Ryan's birthday. Whew! What a sad state of affairs! I will be better this year!

About our trip to Africa, France and England--I simply have to blog about in greater detail, as there is so much to share! So be prepared!
I am back...

  6. I think I almost died of shock when I saw that Nana Diary had updated. "Could it be true?" I thought? And yes, indeed it was true. So glad to have you back writing mom. You were missed.
