My Heroes

I head to the Darley's at about 8:30 AM, to drop off a car, and what do I find? They're all sitting together reading scriptures! Even Vince, though he was half asleep and didn't have his scriptures out.

Dang, them Darley's sure have it together...

Gramma on a high falutin' vacation

Gramma done fell and bruised herself all up...



So I found this gangster selling flowers on the street





And this other hispanic flower vendor.  I think she was saying "¡Flores baratos!"

And we high tailed up to Gramma's room and cheered her up with our whit, sarcasm and cynicism.


 

Quality brother time

Ashlynn...

Ashy and I just finished reading book 5 of Lemony Snickets "A Series of Unfortunate Events".  I think there are like 7 books to go.  I love reading with her.  I especially love it when she reads to me!

The book and the  marker:

Ash is working on her editing skills.  In fact, she cut a video for her friend Kimmy Hunt's homework project.

Ward Halloween Party

Isn't it ironic that more people show up at the church for what is arguably Satan's holiday than for any other event?

Nates REAL license!

He doesn't normally look this goofy... Only when he's seeing his first driver's license for the first time at 5:10 AM on the way to the gym.

Cuteness

Not sure what my girls were doing. They're just cute.

Utah Imports

Father and Janice came to town and supported the cause.  It was followed by friendly political discussion, food at Chili's, and a gnarly sideshow featuring a bald unicyclist.  





















Notice how far to the left he leans in this photo...


Audience participation was encouraged:

Sunday Emergency

I generally only eat junk food on Saturday. But Sunday night, I had the munchies badly... Stevie B had mad peanut butter cookies. Dude. I love peanut butter cookies.

So, we made and emergency trip to Tracy's. Thanks Stevie! You're way hotter than Rachel Rae.

We tease Tracy about her childhood nose.  When you think about it, there's really no reason to go there.

Brookie is quite the vicious little Bowers.

Roof Top

Lately, Ash has been wanting to hang out on the roof. Kinda cool up there.

Good Kids

My babies helped a sister move on Saturday. Makes me happy they are willing!

Nate's Sweet Ride

Nate took us for a ride in his sic car.



He and Ash cleaned the windows...





And we ran into Kelsen at the gas station putting his last pennies into HIS tank.

Nate whistles as a demonstration of his competence and confidence as a driver.



Earlier, in the Van, Nate orders fast food, as the driver, for the first time ever!



Ash, not wanting to be too far behind, had me take her to the school and let her drive the van in the parking lot. I don't think we got over .00034 miles per hour, but it's a start! Hey, she's only 11!

Nate and Josh

Josh came down for the weekend, right after Nate got his driver's license. Nate was more excited to have Josh in town than to drive!

Prop 8 Again

This past weekend of prop 8 sign holding was quite the experience.

The "no" crowd came out in force, and brought the devil himself with them.

One "no" supporter flipped off me and my too young daughters for about 30 seconds at a stop light, then threw a bible at us as she drove off.

Kalin tried to give said bible to a random passerby. However, she was looking for a man with a mustache, and had no time for such things.
