A Few Faces Of Taylor

Thursday afternoon and we had Tay till after bedtime. . it was great. We went to the movies and saw the new Ice Age flick, had dinner in playland ( is there anywhere else?? ha ) and ran errands and watch tv and played outside and just had fun!




Great flick!! Pretty funny!



















Look Up!!

Great perspective from the ground. .





Just a few tall moments.

Great Thought

"' You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.'

Adrian Rogers,

Stake Primary Nursery Training

Tuesday night I had a training meeting in Coos Bay for nursery leaders. It was fun and totally successful! We did a role play to teach how to train a new leader, spent a little longer on the big points, took questions, sang, played Ring Around The Rosie, and had fun fruits and gold fish for our snack. Ya gotta love Primary and nursery!!







We talked about toys, and rules and what to do in case, and budgets,

it was good!


"Behold Your Little Ones" the new nursery manual is a gem.

Get one for your ward, your calling, your family!! Great resource.

Another Beautiful Sky

This sort of reminds me of the Northern Lights in Alaska,
the sweeping motions, and the whispness of it all, it was pretty cool.

Youth Temple Trip July 2009

Hwy 38 crossing over the river. .
Can you believe that this was like a mile before the next pic, of the hay fields??
And on the same side of the road!

These ones are for you Bethany. .




You go from all green, to fields of yellow and then back to all green again. .

to mountains. .


and back to another river crossing

mountains of sheer rockfaces. .


to huge evergreens

we saw oak, and pine, and fir, and madrone, and alders

so many shades of green, so many flavors

I love the tree variety ,
its what makes up the various color combos

these are madrone. . they have two shaded bark

Red Sky At Night

How cool is this?? It was really warm for us here
today, and it looks like it might be warm again tomorrow
if this is any indication... and who would know this was in the middle of town??
