Biker Babe

How do you like my riding jacket Dad bought me for an early birthday gift? Now I will be safer and warmer. Dad is changing the oil and spark plugs on the bike today. He is saving alot of money by doing it himself. To take it in to have it done costs about $250!
We have our Regional activity tonight and it is over 100! It's suppose to be a parking lot dance but I think we will have to have it inside to keep cool.
Dad has taken Kim to the airport to go to vagas to visit a guy freind for 5 days. We will have the girls for most of that time.
We are really looking forward excitedly, to our family reunion!!! We wish Chauntel and her family could be here. Maybe they will come for Christmas?!

We had a wonderful time in Dallas twith the kids and grandkids! What a sweet family! The kids loved their grandpa the bestest. He helped Jackon make LOTS of baskets and now they are best buds.

34 wonderful years!

Dad and I drove back to Sumpter to get buckets full of dirt from the creek bed. Dad is panning for gold in the back yard now! We had a great day on our anniversary, a road trip, the mountains, a sweet visit with each other, and dinner out. He's the greastest husband ever!

I am going to Alexis's hip hop performance tonight. Kim said she did great last night at her performance.

Tomorrow we will join Rochelle's family for dinner. Happy Father's day to all my great Son-in law's!!! We love you guys! Thanks for all you do for your children and wives!

Tuesday we go to Chauntel's. We will take some cute pictures and post when we gt home.

Eight things I Love or eight things about me.

If I understand this correctly, I can write four things I love and four things about me.

1. I am madly in love with Sandra. My love for her has grown for 34 years. She is my best friend and my eternal companion. She is the mother to my six daughters. She make me laugh. She inspires me to be good.

2. I love the Lord, my savior and redeemer. I am so grateful for his life, sacrifice and gospel.

3. I love my family. All six of the most beautiful girls that every walk this earth. Their husbans that provide and take care of them. For 10 wonderful grandkids. I love it when we get together. I am looking forward to our reunion.

4. I enjoy riding my motorcycle. Warm days, the wind, the sights and smell. It is absolutely the greatest feeling of freedom.

5. I am ready to retire. I love sleeping in to 6:30 or 7:00. Getting up and deciding what to do for that day. Not having to prepare lesson plans and putting up with disrespectfully kids.

6. I would love to buy a small farm. An older house, barn, with about 20 arces of land. Something to keep me busy but not over worked. Lots of trees for shade when we get together. A few animals - a cow or two, a horse, a pig, a dog and maybe a few chicken for fresh eggs once in while.

7. I would like to travel alittle. It would be wonderful to go back to Germany with Sandra and visit my mission, Europe and even the Holy Land. I would like to see parts of Asia. However I would settle for vacation in Hawaii or a nice long cruise.

8. I am looking forward to a misson with Sandra. Either working with Young Single Adults, working in Salt Lake or a church historical site in a visitors center. Maybe in germany working with inactives or in a mission home. Hopeful not in Hepner Oregon, but I will go where ever the Lord asks me to go.

I will let mom writer her eight later.

Summer Vacation Finally!

Kids names Marcel, Haley, Carson, Kylie, Macy, Ryker

Last day of daycare for the summer! We will be going to Dallas on the 19th! Can't wait to see Chauntel's family. Dad plans to ride his bike alot, Paint the house and fence, have a Rodger Schultz family reunion in July.

Sunday we have a linger longer. Monday we have FHE here. WE sure love the callings serving in the YSA branch!

Dad's in a golf tourny today with the teachers and friends at 1 when school gets out. He looks forward to that. His classes launched Rockets today. Thanks goodness the wind died down.

Memorial Day Weekend

Hi Family, These were taken in Sumpter, Oregon. It's an old gold mining town. Dad loved this Dredge (large boat with scoops). Dad panned for gold and brought home some gold flecks and some garnets he panned. We visited the flea market in town. We had a nice day. We enjoyed getting away together for a few days. Our friends let us stay in thier home while since they were gone. So it was a cheap getaway!

8 More days of school and counting! We are both looking forward to sleeping in and not working with kids all day.

Dad is taking a motorcycle class to get his endorsement (license) Wed and Thur. He had to take two days off of school. So he only has 6 more days!

Wee are planning a trip to Dallas to see Chauntel's family June 19- 26th. Can't wait! This will be the first time we have seen Jackson since his surgery, and we will get to see thier new home!

Mother's Day

These are cute pictures of Kara and Carter when I watched them this week.
Dad is enjoying riding his bike to school and on rides with friends! On Monday for FHE we rode with our friends the Roses out to Benton City and home on beautiful back roads! It was so warm we rode in short sleeves. I can see why Das loves the bike we had alot of fun seeing the lovely word unhindered. My favorite part is putting my arms around him and talking into his ear:)

Yesterday Rochelle's family took me to breakfast. Kim and Kara joined us. It was fun to be with them! Dad made me breakfast this morning, yum! Rochelle has invited us for a BBQ tonight after church. I feel spoiled and loved! I hope my daughters who are blessed to be Mother's will have a nice day with their families! Happy Mother's Day from your mother!

Please keep Jackson in your prayers this week. He needs our faith and prayers to help him grow and be healthy.

Dad and I are counting the days until we have our summer vacation! I love this warm weather!

I love you all,
Mom

Conference Sunday

The open mouth is Cole's, showing his new retainer.







It was so nice to have family here today! We had waffles for breakfast and rode the motorcycle after the first session. Such fun for the kids and Ryan! We will BBQ after the last session. I am looking forward to Easter and everyone except Chauntel's family being here! Alexis has her 10th birthday on Wed. and Cater has his 2nd birthday on Thur. Party time! Today was the first time I have been on Dad's motorcycle. It was fun but cold. It's 50 out. Dad is haveing a hard time shaking his cough and cold symptoms. We are so excited to have a break from work this next week!!!!!

Alot of nothing

I know we've been busy, but it's all church stuff. We have an over nighter this week end at Camp Kiwanis. Dad's been home with the flu for two days and I'm not sure he will feel well enough to go with us.
I am so looking forward to spring break! The kids have been trying my patience lately.
I had a wonderful time in Rexburg with the girls! They are all so busy and doing so well! I love you all! thank you, thank you!
Love Mom
