Not the gross ones with the stuff in the middle, the kind in the purple bag. mmmmmmmmmm, You think walgreens is still open?<br /><br />Is Donald Trump really serious about this president buisiness? If so he really needs to do something about that hair. I mean for real, If he wants to represent the country as our fearless comander in cheif he's gonna have to take some serious action with that atrocity on his head. That kind of sounds vain but in all seriousness, do you think the leaders of China or any other country for that matter will even consider taking him seriously with the weirdness thats happening up there. Just sayin........<br /><br />My closet is a rediculous mess! The door is open and I'm staring at it right now. How have I managed to collect so much clothing?!? What they crap was I thinking when I bought turquois capris? Guess it's time for another DI run.<br /><br />I L O V E being in the young womens! It is awesome!<br /><br />I was holding the cutest baby girl tonight at our ward part and I felt sad. After almost four years of trying for another baby I have finally found some peace with the reality that it might never happen and that's okay because I have the two most amazing kids in the world. But occasionally that feeling sneaks up on me. Who knows maybe someday it will happen. Either way I trust that Heavenly Father knows what is best for me even if I don't really agree with him. He's probably a lot smarter than me anyway. <br /><br />Nick's snoring is OUT OF CONTROL!!!! ROLL OVER! I love you babe :)<br /><br />Can I just say that my History class is the most BORING class I have ever taken in my life! It even trumps Mr. Scott's science class in 8th grade. I was all excited about taking it this semster because I love history. Nope, totally sucks................<br /><br />Do you ever wonder if your mind works like everyone else's or if your the weird one? <br /><br />I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE tuna fish. Yep it's disgusting. Thankyou to my pregnancy hormones five years ago I can't even think about it without vomiting in my mouth. Eww.<br /><br />Well it will be interesting to see what I dream about tonight after all these weird thoughts. Donald Trump and Tuna fish huh...............................Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-15782224663558605352011-04-07T20:59:00.000-07:002011-04-07T21:11:34.283-07:00I am still alive!I know I know I have been terrible at this blogging thing lately. Between Taysons baseball games, Halli's gymnastics and music lessons, PTA meetings, school, homework, homework, and more homework, young womens, and sqeezing in some time to spend with the coolest person in the world (Nick), I have barely had enough time to eat something other than cereal or fruit snacks (seriously). I kinda feel like I'm strapped to the front of a freight train or somethin..... anyway- I have four more weeks left before the end of the semester YAY! Then maybe I'll have an extra second or two to hang out with my blog :)Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-32299549477699364052010-12-08T12:55:00.000-08:002010-12-08T12:55:50.541-08:00LDS Video Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence<iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/q_5lG5Hx69I?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-2504134838268503832010-12-08T12:50:00.000-08:002010-12-08T12:50:06.450-08:00Broken Things to Mend<iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gWM4U6gnPE8?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-15930595634406470172010-12-01T14:08:00.000-08:002010-12-01T14:32:07.992-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4cJWH3mSzqw7UsnYjBBaoghZdlb2OnDv_pqzoP0ytKvD_FS1qUKUC-tUWyFycrl3zEwagVTx_W0j7WFD_CFxh3gJW9vdvM3C75nFiGelShH6y5L_Q05-a65oGydTTWN8dJ2Cz-0fjvOs/s1600/IMG_0870.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We had a great Halloween this year. Tayson was Indiana Jones and Halli was an Avatar. ( I know weird for her). We did all the traditional stuff and had a blast. School has been a bit busy and crazy this semester and I am so ready for a break! But it's also been good to get back into it again. Nick graduated from P.O.S.T academy and I, being the perfect wife, forgot my camera grrrr. But he is officially now an officer and loves his job much to my dismay:/ Things are just rolling as usual around here. busy busy busy. But I love it that way. This morning we had a record snow storm in Boise. It was fun! I can't be too grouchy about it because school got canceled for me and the kids and because the weather is usually so warm here it will be gone before we know it. It made me miss Utah for just a bit but then I remembered all the times I was late for work because of the snow......... Anyway- We are all happy and healthy and life is good! oh ya and I forgot to mention that my kids both had birthdays this fall! Tayson turned 7 and Halli is 5 now. Crazy how fast they grow up!Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-51927809942232474712010-10-15T07:30:00.000-07:002010-10-15T07:40:38.944-07:00InspirationIn reference to the blog post below, I put his blog on my blog list on the right. Even though he started out writing just to people with the same challenge as his, his blog has kind of morphed into something that is uplifting for anyone to read no matter what challenges you face in life. I have no Idea what it feels like to have the challenge he does and I don't know anyone who does, but I do know that we all have difficulties and trials in life or we know someone who is struggling and needs our help. Don't be turned away by the title of his blog, read it first.Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-50568355242115640582010-10-10T19:15:00.001-07:002010-10-10T19:21:38.957-07:00To touch His robe.I wish I could take credit for this because it's really great but I actually found it on another blog. This guy is someone I have never met but his blog is incredible and inspires me to become better. He is a faithful member of the Church but has always struggled with same gender attraction. He is an incredible example of overcoming our weaknesses and temptations and turning to the Lord to help us through our darkest moments. Every time I read his posts my testimony is strengthened. This is just one of the many he has written but I wanted to share it. Enjoy<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; ">There's a story in the New Testament I always thought I understood. A woman with an issue of blood spent her life and life's savings trying to find a way to be healed. She worked with doctors, physicians, and people from all over the world... each who willingly took her money, leaving her poorer and poorer. Finally she was left with nothing. And then she heard that Jesus was walking through the streets near her home. "If I can but touch the hem of his robes," she thought, "I will be healed." And so she covered herself, pushed through the crowd, and reached out to catch the edge of His robe. In that moment, her pain disappeared. The issue of blood stopped. Christ turned, and after speaking with His disciples, spoke to her. "Woman, be of good cheer. Thy faith hath made thee whole."<br /><br />I had always thought that this scripture was for people with great physical trials - that their faith would have the power to heal them if they just had enough and would just show it. Later, I thought that it extended to all those who struggle with major difficulties and trials in life - a promise that He would someday heal us. But I now realize that Christ wasn't speaking about touching His robe or asking for a miracle in life. He was teaching her, and all those following, a lesson on faith.<br /><br />The true miracle of this story didn't come when the woman touched His robe. And, while impressive, the true miracle was not when the issue of blood stopped. The true miracle was the change in her heart - a willingness to submit to the will of the Lord and faith that He would bless her no matter what happened. It came because she had kept her faith, through difficult times, when everyone else in the world told her it was hopeless. It came because, though she had been deemed "unclean" by her ailment for decades, she held fast to the principles she knew to be true. It happened because she had done everything possible and finally given her life to the Lord. She changed her perspective - from one of expecting that money and power could heal her... to placing her trust in the Lord. And the healing of her issue of blood was just a symbol of the greater, more lasting change that had happened within her heart.<br /><br />I used to think that simply doing everything I could would help me. That I could do it on my own. Then I realized that I needed to rely on the Lord, and expected Him to take away my grief. Now, I turn to Him and willingly place my life in His hands.<br /><br />I don't know what tomorrow brings. But I know that God loves me, that He is involved in my life, that I can be happy and fulfilled in this life, and that, someday, if I am faithful, I will inherit all the blessings He has promised me. If the Savior stood beside me tomorrow and I could reach out to touch His robe, I would. But, if not, the greater miracle has already happened in my life.</span></div>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-24836684645866649672010-10-08T14:08:00.001-07:002010-10-08T14:13:11.125-07:00" We may one day have to stand alone, but we will not change or lower our standards or change our course." <div><br /></div><div>-President Boyd K.

And almost always one of my kids is there to hear it and then despite all my efforts they end up repeating it at the worst possible moment. Well last week I was getting ready to sit down at the computer and do some homework when I realized that the power in the office wasn't working. Hmmmm. So after about 30 minutes of trying to figure out what was wrong I called an electrician to come look at it and decided to move the computer (desk and all) into my bedroom and while I'm doing this of course I smash my toe. Immediately all sorts of profanity comes spewing out of my mouth and start hopping around and cursing anything that happens to be in the way at that moment. Little did I know that miss Halli was in the other room and heard it all. So fast forward to Sunday and we are sitting in church. Halli is next to me coloring on a piece of paper when she drops her crayon and it rolls onto the floor. She hops down and climbs under the bench to retrieve it and on her way back up she smacks her head and guess what comes out of her mouth? Not just one potty word but a big old train of 'em. At least people found the humor in it right? So now that she has picked up a few new vocabulary words she wants to know why they are dirty words and what they all mean. This will be fun.....................</span>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-5641704324943802762010-10-01T06:31:00.001-07:002010-10-01T07:17:41.459-07:00Bronco Nation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvkGw_jLw0tpYDkEPuk6X8rdztCVcVUvv1s4liAliHqf9iatzmXt9gXgOweq1T8zBbrJzQ4SlgDi7lrq6XP0GChnLX_qreZi8lKECJ1RRLjPxrS1-_AHHOQyf1UDKbUgzSsSxfYsareB4/s1600/0902_Local_bsu_uniforms.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvkGw_jLw0tpYDkEPuk6X8rdztCVcVUvv1s4liAliHqf9iatzmXt9gXgOweq1T8zBbrJzQ4SlgDi7lrq6XP0GChnLX_qreZi8lKECJ1RRLjPxrS1-_AHHOQyf1UDKbUgzSsSxfYsareB4/s400/0902_Local_bsu_uniforms.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523081640438497266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSBxuYy7-zfhPKjS4HNR9gbEGLWn_k4kWQpJmA00MPVziNqVPMjx9Am1CoR4DkSVslPryVQzNOjhF4jGauiY_z3KcVe6anMMwoyJ0CI9idXpSZmQkwEdDlQKv_O1SWKPgYtxoHZWd5GA/s1600/San_Jose_St_Boise_St_Football_t450.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSBxuYy7-zfhPKjS4HNR9gbEGLWn_k4kWQpJmA00MPVziNqVPMjx9Am1CoR4DkSVslPryVQzNOjhF4jGauiY_z3KcVe6anMMwoyJ0CI9idXpSZmQkwEdDlQKv_O1SWKPgYtxoHZWd5GA/s400/San_Jose_St_Boise_St_Football_t450.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523081635794670642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HJmInfHPMgVWoYDVy-bpSQjAM-CP9iABlsQT92QX0aM0WA-VrH3Xcf6uULOhGGXtkRA3XHd9BoYX5FRH9O9VA1k4UKjyqV_9jkQCqMFoV4thyna8DCl_QZW0kq3CU283jhd5Y9iecmA/s1600/0103onlinerally2sr2.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HJmInfHPMgVWoYDVy-bpSQjAM-CP9iABlsQT92QX0aM0WA-VrH3Xcf6uULOhGGXtkRA3XHd9BoYX5FRH9O9VA1k4UKjyqV_9jkQCqMFoV4thyna8DCl_QZW0kq3CU283jhd5Y9iecmA/s400/0103onlinerally2sr2.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523081623495907106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0BUDczffpqcJC8gJZ7D8nQEgFQLI2GSSJLPE0NVE4hNfpw-KWHyj14y8Zl8no7HNfVcezckBpvLULTwLlhoXENDnQ0OAhCSX5pIC43efrw05ajWyDQ0ND4-Q9G7RYx8jYtLNcOwc9hQ/s1600/4c85c00aca4a1.image.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0BUDczffpqcJC8gJZ7D8nQEgFQLI2GSSJLPE0NVE4hNfpw-KWHyj14y8Zl8no7HNfVcezckBpvLULTwLlhoXENDnQ0OAhCSX5pIC43efrw05ajWyDQ0ND4-Q9G7RYx8jYtLNcOwc9hQ/s400/4c85c00aca4a1.image.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523081621853351442" /></a><br />I have never in my life seen so many people so devout to a football team! It is crazy. When we moved to Boise we were already BSU football fans but I had no idea how seriously people take it around here. Let me just tell you on the first home game day of the season the ENTIRE town is blue and orange. Poor Tayson was the only kid in school who was not in his BSU gear last year. Fans deck out their houses, cars, dogs, babies,hair, nails, lawn mowers and anything within a 10 mile radius in the festive colors of blue and orange. (seriously) And on game day if you are not found in your Boise State T-shirt you better just stay inside! These people are religiously loyal, like the girl on campus who gave me a disgusted look as I got out of my car (which proudly displays a BYU logo) on my way to class. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I have to say that deep down I think my blood will always be cougar blue but over the last year and a half I think I've "caught the fever." It's totally contagious! It all started when I enrolled for fall semester at the one and only Boise State University. I had to repeatedly convince my dad that I would not allow myself to be brainwashed by these crazy bronco's ( he's a cougar fan). </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Well it doesn't take much for that football team to win your heart.

Now looking back I think about this day and re-tell it to people for some comic relief because honestly it's absolutely hilarious. At the time, not so much though. </div><div style="font-family: 'Lucida grande', Arial, verdana, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida grande', Arial, verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre; "> </span>It all started the morning after I had just finished painting my sons new bedroom set red. Yes red. All day long I slaved out in the garage painting away while Halli (then 3) tried to get her hand, foot, nose, any body part she could into the paint can. She succeeded a few times but all in all I would call the day a success. So after putting the kids to bed I hammered on the lid to the paint can and hid it on the very top shelf of the pantry in the back. ( I had to get on a chair just to get it up there) Fast forward to the following morning at about 6:30 am. Through blurry, sleep eyes I see my 3 year old princess jumping on my bed and guess what? She has something red ALL OVER HER! Somehow the little stinker figured out where I had hid the paint and gotten into it. But how? At this point I'm starting to panic thinking about the mess that would be all over downstairs in my brand new kitchen. ( I didn't mention that this was our new home we had just moved into) Anyway - I slowly got out of bed and crept down the stairs like I was stalking a burgeler or something. When I finally got up the courage to peek around the corner into the kitchen I wished I hadn't There was red paint EVERYWHERE! You know when a cartoon depicts an angry person and steam starts coming out of their ears? That was me. I came to the conclusion based on the crime scene that she had tried to pull the paint can down and dropped it causing the lid to pop off and red paint to splatter on every available surface in reach. After calling my Mom to come take my precious baby away for a while and give me a chance to calm down and clean up I started working like crazy to clean up the mess. While I am doing this my sweet little darling climbed onto the counter and dumped by glass of Coke onto the keyboard of my brand new $2500.00 lab top computer. ( It was destroyed) At this point I'm considering pulling my hair out cause honestly YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! So now I am scrubbing my kitchen floor so the paint doesn't dry to it and holding a blow dryer over my computer in a feeble attempt to save it's life. Now my hands are really tied. About 15 minutes later I go looking for my cell phone to call my Mom and find out what the heck is taking so long, I'm going crazy here! Well what-a you know, I can't find my phone anywhere. Can this day get any worse? Bad question to ask. After 20 minutes of searching I walk into the bathroom and the floor is sopping wet? What the crap is going on now? The toilet is clogged with big lego's Halli had tried to flush and betcha can't guess? My cell phone. (For some reason my husband didn't add on the $3 extra a month water insurance to our plan) All you mothers out there can probably relate a bit when I say I was a little more than pissed off! I think this is the point that I started to cry. FINALLY my Mom shows up and finds me curled up in the corner of my bedroom holding a blow dryer to my computer sobbing, and a red paint massacre in the kitchen which my daughter is still covered in head to toe. Of course all Mom can say she is, "Oh dear". After a few chugs of Coke and some coercing I'm finally ready to go back down stairs and finish the kitchen. And just when I'm finally starting to calm down I hear my mom say, "What happened to your wall honey?" Do I even want to know what she's talking about? Probably not but too late now. At some point during all of the chaos sweet little Halli found a bottle of florescent pink finger nail polish and decided it would be fun to draw a picture on my freshly painted wall. Now if any of you have ever had to get nail polish off of something it usually takes off a coat of the paint underneath it too, which resulted in repainting the entire wall. </div><div style="font-family: 'Lucida grande', Arial, verdana, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida grande', Arial, verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre; "> </span>So after a LONG day of scrubbing the floor, fighting with the phone company, unclogging the toilet, saying goodbye to my new computer, and re-painting the wall, my husband came home to a wife who looked like she'd been standing in a hurricane on the coast of Florida and was seriously considering taking up drinking. Why do I tell this story again? Because It makes days like today seem like a cake walk. And to give you a good laugh.</div></span>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-66189006640180838612010-09-13T20:42:00.000-07:002010-09-13T21:07:53.991-07:00Life just keeps on movin!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Hia7SWdAdvWUmJg6PTG-I_VTAIcJ4OkFokpj8gSKXa9jOXmY4WW3o0RmPBt34MMrzP-jYtdShI3r676KohC-EDJRWLsIqOtM6IrY9xH_EDJXvo-RxTo3ShCphvvKYaXvONQG4Yv6OGc/s1600/IMG_0768.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Hia7SWdAdvWUmJg6PTG-I_VTAIcJ4OkFokpj8gSKXa9jOXmY4WW3o0RmPBt34MMrzP-jYtdShI3r676KohC-EDJRWLsIqOtM6IrY9xH_EDJXvo-RxTo3ShCphvvKYaXvONQG4Yv6OGc/s400/IMG_0768.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516615694870442962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wWc-OJs2HJvB3a_08JzkgG1GTNQ3xsORhmnOSXeszkKQ7w4ZSLGVjIMjQwzz4P3nTLRGXxRXVHTwelPOZyq_RSc_eIDUf-VCi8CCAbieqLohejj8VGAQ1DYjLg8-by77Tcz6UiuyU4k/s1600/IMG_0792.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wWc-OJs2HJvB3a_08JzkgG1GTNQ3xsORhmnOSXeszkKQ7w4ZSLGVjIMjQwzz4P3nTLRGXxRXVHTwelPOZyq_RSc_eIDUf-VCi8CCAbieqLohejj8VGAQ1DYjLg8-by77Tcz6UiuyU4k/s400/IMG_0792.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516615689229916274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Y12rkECs1okRaqTh5J3DAxrzMZaWCP4I_SWPLwveIL_PNTN3xQIvj-FGQq1_vf5TX7Gnz9JO4l3UdlWaIabA5V9oEg-gw69uVKwb8Q9fxHBFP_n1PSfobHu2RhyphenhyphenFK_pXboaFc2WCB9c/s1600/IMG_0791.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Y12rkECs1okRaqTh5J3DAxrzMZaWCP4I_SWPLwveIL_PNTN3xQIvj-FGQq1_vf5TX7Gnz9JO4l3UdlWaIabA5V9oEg-gw69uVKwb8Q9fxHBFP_n1PSfobHu2RhyphenhyphenFK_pXboaFc2WCB9c/s400/IMG_0791.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516615679888086546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHQTDFLo1q9-SxXs-nnkU2HLO-oKM16X8vjl2cAD1Lxh-50gvgq4noPLHb67POkaDmXRITaeeunQ6SDfZtK4AcNZ4cz3mJV4Mf1c5FtpN3-9C5GA3SwlL-0PaVFOsZrGwv2MDkQIquKs/s1600/IMG_0790.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHQTDFLo1q9-SxXs-nnkU2HLO-oKM16X8vjl2cAD1Lxh-50gvgq4noPLHb67POkaDmXRITaeeunQ6SDfZtK4AcNZ4cz3mJV4Mf1c5FtpN3-9C5GA3SwlL-0PaVFOsZrGwv2MDkQIquKs/s400/IMG_0790.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516615669936844146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXHI9ChOP8rLO5FYj-Az-Am8x5rzZT-E3FR7ZE5nincj_zhCink3Hn1Adhgf6IirFnGSt_22U8DuHBPcEmPsNxoQrlJLCyjPMQhPRIyjwKrWh0OQJtqpcY9lBQvt0XcWuBre9byn08dwU/s1600/IMG_0789.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXHI9ChOP8rLO5FYj-Az-Am8x5rzZT-E3FR7ZE5nincj_zhCink3Hn1Adhgf6IirFnGSt_22U8DuHBPcEmPsNxoQrlJLCyjPMQhPRIyjwKrWh0OQJtqpcY9lBQvt0XcWuBre9byn08dwU/s400/IMG_0789.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516615662270485218" /></a><br />It has been quite a while since I had a minute to sit down and do something other than homework so I thought I'd take a minute to let ya'll know what we've been up to. Nick has been busy workin and breaking his way onto the law enforcement scene. He just got hired on to work at the corrections facility up here in Boise and will be P.O.S.T certified in six months. I never thought I'd be married to a police officer but what do ya know. He is really excited about it all and I just hope I can get some sleep on the nights he's working graves...... I'm a worrier. I guess I'll have to get over that her pretty quick. As for me well, in June I got this grand idea that I wanted to be a doctor so I went back to school this fall at Boise State. Go Broncos! I don't know if I'll actually make to all the way to medical school but I figure it's a worthy goal right? I'm finishing my bachelors in Nursing and we'll go from there :) For the first time in my life I actually love school. Strange what a few years will do. I also love being home during the day with Halli. All my classes are at night so I get to spend the day with her and Tayson. I love it!<div>Tayson just turned seven last Saturday and has developed an obsession with Indiana Jones. It's quite hilarious actually. You can find him running around with his "indie" hat on and his whip in hand humming the theme song which he actually does quite well. It's pretty funny. He's also now a first grader and thinks is assanine that he has to go to school every day. I told him to get used to it because he's got at least another twelve years. All in all he's an awesome kid and I love being his mom.</div><div>Halli is busy now in Gymnastics class and dressing barbies and running around in high heels. If ever there was a deffinition of Girl Halli is it. She loves to dress up and put on my makeup but ironically can often be found playing in the dirt out in the backyard. She is my minnie me! </div><div>All in all things good.</div><div><br /></div>Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-10899728237587960332010-08-07T08:06:00.000-07:002010-08-07T08:06:39.108-07:00Will's WisdomI got this in an email the other day and I thought it was good advice.

I always just told her she was too young and maybe when she was older. Well if you know Halli you know she is a very determined little stinker and usually finds a way to get what she wants. (she gets that from me) So one day Kenna was over and she and Halli cornered me and Sandi. I mean how can you say no to those faces! So we all went to the mall and made a big production of it with pictures and everything. Hal cried a little but a little bit of medicine, a sucker, and a look in the mirror and she was very happy with herself:) Needless to say she loves them and Im going to have to come up with a better defense by the time she is 13 or we're all in trouble! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnXzC6pUkzcCuC_TU_7s1MFZxNp99XLNwXnCEm4fGZCKSLacLl2Yczp0Fm4clu9emNsbBllUjsJX7gtdyRWHuK5BFKUn68C4T3navcVsBxCjX8e10LHLimgtZBl-hk0joxhee1PTJH11s/s1600/IMG_0721.JPG"><img style="display:block;

And we always have a blast! This year was no different of course. Nick put me on a plane at 6 in the morning and 60 minutes later I was hugging my Mom in Salt Lake City. (much better than the 5 hour drive in a car right?) Much gratitude for modern transportation.<br />Anyways- I hung out with Mom for most of the day and then went up to Marcie's for a party! We ate lots of yummy treats and had lots of laughs. I look forward to this every year. <br />So a couple weeks ago I got this supposedly brilliant idea that I wanted to train for a half marathon. (I know seriously?) Since distance running has been my arch enemy pretty much since elementary and Mr. Stone made us run the mile, this was a big deal. But this weekend I got to run my first 5K! Whoohoooo! In honor of Aunt Elaine Rose Johnson some of the Rose girls ran the Susan G. Komen race for the cure in Salt Lake City. It was INCREDIBLE! <br />We spent some time wandering around and then I headed back home. On the flight home the view was gorgeous so I tried to take some pictures but they don't do it justice. All in all it was a fantastic weekend and I can't wait until next year!Steph Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243018818643365028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917787625368851144.post-76335485935039039162010-05-09T14:10:00.000-07:002010-05-09T14:28:11.797-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIjs3ns1XS6oNxRPHhwviztZvrPopN7dJfTaBXFWPOvpuaOye2ntLHw0i4XuDhFCN4jpjPMSdmvETHVsxSBSKmkzg87X-vw3qgi_AmxerY_037q-e6tW__LGeqdn6i8QKEN12Co1vPTVk/s1600/IMG_0758.JPG"><img style="display:block;

And of all the prayers ever uttered in time or in eternity by gods, angels, or mortal men, this one stands supreme above and apart pre-eminent over all others. For there amid the olive trees and the spirit of pure worship and perfect prayer, Mary's son struggled under the most crushing burden ever borne by mortal man. And there in the quiet of the Judean night while Peter, James, and John slept, with prayer on his lips, God's own son took upon himself the sins of all men on condition of repentance. And upon his suffering servant, the great Eloheim there and then placed the weight of all the sins of all men of all ages who believe in Christ. And the Son who bore the image of the Father plead with his divine progenitor for power to fulfill the chief purpose for which he had come to earth. This was the hour when all eternity hung in the balance. So great was the sin created agony laid on him who knew no sin that he sweat great drops of blood from every pore and would within himself that he might not drink the bitter cup. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son."<br />- Elder Bruce R.

Mason was called to serve in the Cincinnatti Ohio mission and we were able to go with him to the Temple when he took out his Endowments. It was such a cool experience! Some of my most happiest moments in the temple are when I get to experience it surrounded by my family. And thats what it's all about right! What a happy day! But that wasn't all, Elle Lu got married the next day in the Bountiful Temple! Whahooo! She looked Beautiful! It was a great weekend full of happy memories.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhib_cDY7B0kveJIooqbR0QrNitdk2HGGwtK-_yrU5rc5wPyeqHZNTKcrpINUkpcv_eZlLTMqtV_wKFReGy8oZI4mB3lyVZ-USeNCVUF6rWjIreIY-lqT8oPjK2JGBJDoYna3rA-422a1o/s1600-h/IMG_0701.JPG"><img style="float:left;

What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy." <br />— Gordon B.
