Question

For some reason I can't get any "hard returns" in my blog. I can push enter a bazillion times between a paragraph, and it always publishes all run together. Does anyone know how to change this?

Ten Years?

To Do List Before my 10 Year Class Reunion this Summer: 1. Buy a darling sun dress with a big chunky necklace and strappy sandals that makes me look as though I have been studying fashion for the past 10 years - and that there is no possibility that I am stuck in 1997 wearing what was cool when I was a Senior. 2. Conduct my own research on best fake tanning products and practice non-streaking application tecnhiques. 3. Teach Kyler to play the violin and Halle to speak Latin - so as to look as though I am a very cultured mother who is raising brilliant children. 4. Read a self-help book entitled, "How to not feel the same insecurities 10 years later around the popular high school kids." (Seriously, I have come along ways and even consider myself quite confident...however a chance meeting with someone "cool" from high school at the grocery store and all bets are off.) 5. Memorize high school yearbook in order to avoid painful moments of silence or having to use phrases like, "How are YOU? I haven't seen YOU forever. Nice to see YOU."

Halle's Truck

Dan is one happy camper these days. He has been wishing for a truck everyday since I have known him - that is a true statement. He has been very patient in driving whatever car we have had at the time. He even made a major sacrifice in trading in his SUV to buy the family minivan. Dan has been searching for the perfect truck for quite some time now. Mind you, it has been very tricky meeting his criteria on our budget. Over Memorial Day weekend, he finally found what he was looking for. We bought this Ford truck in Rexburg and Dan has been smiling ever since. Ironically, I do not know who likes it more, Dan or Halle. Halle won't get out of it and is constantly looking for "Daddy's Duck." It has made our whole family smile.

An Inconvenient Tour

I believe I have admitted to being a big fan of Glenn Beck. The first time I heard him on the radio, I was ticked that he had taken over Dr. Laura's time slot. When I was told he was a Mormon, I scoffingly said, "Not a chance." However, something funny happened... I would occasionally turn him on and find myself agreeing with him. Pretty soon I didn't seem to mind him so much. And now a couple of years later, I have dedicated several posts to the Glenn Beck Program. So, you can imagine my excitement when my Mom called to see if Dan and I would like to go to Glenn's "An Inconvenient Tour" in Boise. On Saturday, my Mom, Dad, brother Zach, Dan and I drove to Boise for a day of entertainment. We loved the show and laughed very hard for 2 hours. He talked about all of the inconvenient things in life, i.e. getting your driver's license renewed, going to the doctor, flying with kids, going on dates, etc. We had a great time and are so glad that my family made the trek to laugh with us in Boise.

Memorial Day Weekend

I realize I am a week late on posting these pictures. We had such a wonderful Memorial Day weekend - we were so glad we got to spend it with our families.
