My good friend Michelle

Michele and I became friend when we were on our mission in Seattle, Washington March 2002. I knew her as Sister Nix. The first time I should have meet her would of been at transfers but I happen to get really sick with a fever and bronchitis so I stayed with a member family in bed. So, Sis. Nix came to me as my companion with a member. She was mad at me for not being there at transfers to pick her up.
We were companions for three months which created a bond that would last for a long time. Our companionship wasn't any easy one because of issue which had been brought out with me. When serving other you would be surprised what learn about yourself. Michelle told me this we were friends in the preexistence and that she promised me that she would help me with the path I had chosen because she knew it wouldn't be an easy one. She wrote this to me at end of our companion.... "Sis. Miles you know the song somewhere out there? Just know that there is someone always out there beneth the big blue shy that loves you and is thinking of you." The funny thing is its the opposite know.
We stayed friends after our mission and was married within weeks of each other. I went to her wedding in Salt lake valley and she came to mine as my brides maid honor.
This is at her wedding!



My honor brides maid..she support me in so many ways.















Life has a way of just continuing to go on and it did for both us. She was their to listen to me and to give me advise when needed. We stayed friends for a long time then she got breast cancer. It considered me greatly so as I prayed for my friend. I lost my good friend to breast cancer. Her husband told me when she died that she would be my Guardian angel. I think of her often and so grateful for the time i did have to be her friend.
Many times when I have experienced great emotional pain I have felt her presents next to me. I look forward to the day I can throw my arms around her and give her a great big hug and tell her I have miss you my friend!

Myles 12th Birthday

I have four birthdays in the summer months out of my five children. Myles is one of them born June 8th. We decided to have his party at pool which has wave rider. He paid for another three of of ridding the wave rider. My youngest son Max even tired it but never lasted to long. He wanted to rid it better and got upset when he didn't.
The Allen kids came to Myles party and Jared rode it too.



















Savannah got into the action with eating the cake which melted from hot sun. It was tasty as seen from her face.

Graduation of my freinds son

On Thursday of this week I went to a graduation in Florance Arizona. I have never been to Florance before but it was an adventure.
I would like to think that Denise spirit was there that night watching her son in one of the biggest moments of his life. He is a sweet kid and think she would be proud of her son.
Our kids have been freinds since they were babies.

Madilyn 14th birthday

It your birthday and shout hurry!! I can't believe my big baby born to me May 6, 1997 at 9 pounds is 14. We decide that the theme of this party would be about Spa's. We did facials with Avocados. See the green faces!! Yummy!
She didn't have all of her friends join in but most of them did.
Even her mom and Bf joined in the fun....

Sherlock's First Adventure

Madilyn was in a spring play on April 1st at Kino Jr. high. She played the part as Irene Adler. She did an excellent job with the English accent. She said she messed up her lines but from my perspective she didn't.








I admire her from her courage to get up on stage. Not easy to pretend to be some else with others watching. I think it cool that she got to be apart of a play with her friends Amanda and Abby.

My girls and there freinds have always made up their brothers.... Just look at what I mean.

Max let the girls put makeup on him. He told them to do it while he was alseep. Of course, he pretended to go to sleep.
