Well folks, my sister Angela came to visit us in Utah for the weekend and has set me up with my own blog. I really enjoy reading hers, and thought it is a great way to keep a journal too. My sister Angela is very clever with her commentary and unfortunately for all of you reading, I am not so clever.

Angela is sitting here and I am just her puppet. She has instructed me to start writing from this weekend so here it goes. Angela, Byron, Josh, Ben, and Ginny came from California to visit for the weekend. While they were here we decided to do Brooke's 9th birthday party. Her birthday is actually on Monday, but we celebrated early so that Brian and Angela could be there. Brian headed out this morning to China for a week. He is there for work and shopping.

Today we had a good day just hanging out as family. We don't get to do that very often because Angela's trips are usually a 24 hour trip(don't forget that it takes 12 hours each way to drive.) Cyndi cut all the girls hair today, a Brooke finally got bangs!!! We have been begging for bangs forever. Brooke's hair is about middle of her back so she had some long pieces cut off for bangs. Angela decided that she needed to keep them because she say some art work woven out of millions of strands of hair or something, and now I am not looking forward to Christmas. Funny thing too, all of my brushes are completely clean, weird.

Anyway, it has been a good weekend with them and their kids. It is my favorite to spoil my neices and nephews. Byron is on the naughty list however. While they have been here he has single handedly broken the tetherball and now Brian's recliner. Ooh he is in trouble!!!!! Luckily for him Brian will be gone for 8 days and we should have it all back together before he gets back. Well I will end this because the kids are about done and need more spoiling(sugar) before they head back to California tonight, ha ha ha.
