Feeling Ugly!!

Have you ever had those days where you just feel ugly!! This week so far has been that. Most of my life I have been plagued with cold sores. Lucky me one popped out this week. I could feel it coming on, and immediately starting applying the medicine, in hopes that it would not present itself. No such luck. Not only did it come out to say hello to all the world, but a second one presented itself as well. Now I have one on the right and left side of my mouth. It almost makes me want to stay inside the house and not go anywhere. I am applying medicine on them all day, because it soothes them, and hopefully it will help them to heal faster. As you can imagine two big white blotches on either side of my mouth, someone is bound to say something. Usually the comments go as follows "it looks like you have something on the side of your mouth", or "you got some mayo in the corner of your mouth". To say the least I always feel at my ugliest when they come to visit. So here's to those ugly days!! Hipp, hipp hur-ray!!! To look on the brighter side of things, at least they only last for a week to 10 days. After that I can look like my normal self.

"I am a child of God olympics"

Saturday the primary put on the "I am a child of God olympics". Mckayla is sporting her medal of silver. The kids all won gold, but their medals were silver, due to the fact that they were edible, and were wrapped in tin foil. It was a really fun activity, and I think all the kids enjoyed themselves. The 2nd picture is featuring Mckayla participating in the Sailing event. They had to blow their balls across the water. The last picture is her team or ctr 5 class. A couple of weeks ago they made a flag for their team. They are a fun group of kids, and Mckay loves being a part of their class. Mckay also got an award for reading her scriptures, and praying every night for the last month for training for the olympics.

Princess for a day!!!

This weekend we took a trip to Ohio, where we attended Matt's little sister Natalie's wedding reception. It was such a fun weekend. We enjoyed so much visiting with family and friends. It was a quick trip, but it was well worth it. Natalie and her new husband Chris are such a fabulous couple, and look so happy together. Natalie had all her little neices be little princess's for her reception. Grandma made the dresses, and all the little girls had so much fun, prancing around like they were all the bell of the ball. Grandma painted Mckayla's finger and toe nails to match her pink ribbon on her dress. Needless to say Mckay was on cloud nine. It seemed like a blink of an eye, and we were back on the road again to go home. It was fun while it lasted, and we wish the happy couple our very best wishes!!!
