Tact

Tact is  . . .the ability to raise your eyebrows instead of the roof and  . . . the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

Grandma Elaine

My mom gave me this Home Management book of my Grandma Elaines!! She dies when my mom was 5!  I am named after her . . Julie Elaine!  I think some other family would love to see it too, so I scanned a few things! I wanted a picture of the time and her writing! 

Zoo

Jenny, Jill, Jen and I met at the zoo!  Josh encouraged me to go and take Lydia and Blake!!  Sweet little things just run errands with me and follow me around the house most days!!  We rode the train and they loved it!!  Freedom second graders were on a field trip at the zoo too!! It was fun to see Sayla!!

Cool Guys and Cookies

Josh got to eat pizza with Grant at school!  "First Cafeteria" Experience!!  Then they had cookies in the classroom! Here is the cute card Grant made!! 

Julie's 35

My Birthday!!  Got up, helped the boys clean the bonus room and went to I-Hop!  It was kind of breakfast for lunch!!  Lucky for us the balloon lady was there!!  Lydia had a nap and Josh and the boys went shopping!  I cleaned up a little from our trip! Josh and I met: my folks, Talls, Simmons and Johnny at the Tea Rose Diner!  We accidentally got all dishes except one level 1!  Our favorite was the level 0 dish!! Josh however really liked the food this time!  My folks, Matt, Josh and I went to  see Fly Fishing on the Yamen! 

Balloons: Lydia crown, Trent lion, Grant motorcycle, Blake turtle

St. George

I headed down to St. George Tuesday, April 10 with the kids! Josh had to stay back for a meeting Wednesday morning! (which turned out to be pointless)  The Simmons arrived Monday night! We swam and ate and played at the park! The caterpillars, which Blake spotted, were a highlight of the park!!  Josh arrived Thursday morning about 2am!  The Simmons left Thursday night!  My kids were begging to go with them!!  Friday the Burrs showed us the "Big Crack!"  (Jarica Wilson was there too!!)  We packed up and ate at Chuck-A-Rama!  The boys favorite! (There we saw the Collins!)  We arrived home at 1am!! (My birthday!!)

The boys made their hair, borrowed my phone and took some pictures!!

Park

In St. George we went to this really fun park Avery told us about!!
