Mom is a blogger

Hello! Hmm... my mind just went blank. Let me think. (That's what Mom was saying when I asked her what to write, I included it as payback for all those journal entries when Mom and Dad wrote down everything we were saying.) We're having such a fun visit with Megan and Melissa and all the kids (almost). We really miss Ammon, Jesica, Miriam, and little Ammon. Hopefully I will be a frequent contributor to this blog... But don't hold your breath. :)

There is a video of Ammon and the stuffed dogs that is SO cute, I'll have to show it to everyone when I come home for a visit.

I love Miriam's hat and she insisted on turning the rim up--so darling!

Ah, cute!! (that applies to both pictures)

Ammon was running to Jesica if I remember right, so she is the inspiration behind that smile.

Ammon and Jesica getting back to their German roots (or Ammon's at any rate).

Jesica took this picture in Frankenmuth--a very fun place!

Ammon and Jesica are considering new vehicles...

Here is a cute little boy. Megan took the picture for us.

The Taylors Visit Logan!

I had so much fun with Gary, Daneene, Jenzie, and Colin last weekend. We fed lots of ducks, went to the Willow Park Zoo, went to First Dam (for the ducks), shared meals with friends and family, and visited all the "favorites": Aggie Ice Cream and Gossner's Cheese Factory (or the "cheese house" as Jenzie called it). I'm so glad they came to see me! Here are a few pictures of our adventures.

I love this picture! They are so darling together!

Colin and I share an ice cream cone at Aggie ice cream. I appreciate all of you visiting me, which gives me a good excuse to enjoy Aggie ice cream. I never go unless y'all are here, so I'm expecting Dad and Alicia to visit soon. :)

Colin is drinking the salsa at Cafe Sabor--a boy after my own heart!

A few of my favorite things...

Hi everyone. Ammon & family--welcome back to the Internet. :) Do you have an email address? I tried to email you the other day and it failed. I'm sorry the talks expired, I don't know why it does that. I'm including the links to the BYU site, they shouldn't expire. I'm also including a link to a hilarious video--a comedy skit done by two Australians. SO funny! I hope you like it.  (I don't think the links are active, you'll have to copy and paste them into the address line.)

Hello From Michigan

Hi everyone,
We just got the internet working at our house, we got a better deal than it seemed like we were going to so we are happy. School was really quite fun. No assignments other than reading at this point. It was really fun, the professors seem most interested in getting us to be involved in the learning, not grades or other normal school things. I think it is going to be a lot of fun if i can just stay on top of the reading and writing. Megan I tried to download the talks and the website said that it was expired. Any idea why?
Thanks everyone, you are all so awesome. We are having a good time and it feels very good to be settling down a bit and getting into a routine. Love you all!
Ammon and family

Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping that someone other than me will post something soon--it's starting to look a little out of balance, too much Megan, too little everyone else. :)

I just wanted to send out a blanket 'good luck' to everyone that is starting school soon. I hope the year goes really well for you. 

And good luck to everyone else too--I'm sure we all need it to some degree. :)

And, here's my new cell phone number (our iPhones arrived today, it was just like Christmas): 435.881.5378. Of course I'll still have my other phone, but I won't have it with me during the day. So you may need this one too. Plus, I have super ringtones...so far it's set to play a King's Singers song when any of you call me--how much fun is that?!! So you'll need to call this number every once in a while so I can hear the song. :)

I love you all!!
