Ramblings of a Bishop's wife.

Today my husband was made the Bishop of our ward. We have known this was coming for about a month. The last month has been a serious of highs and lows. There were days when I wondered if the Stake President realized that we had three small kids and that we already don't see my husband. Then there were days when I thought for sure that this was a really bad practical joke. I mean Scott is only 30. Other days I just cried. This morning I was really anxious. I felt like I was going to throw up. We made it to church on time (I have to get all three kids and myself ready by 8:45) and poor Scott looked ill sitting up on the stand. He looked ill right up to the time that they sustained him and then is was just emotion. It was a really neat change. I am trying to look at this as an adventure. We are so blessed. I know that the Lord will strengthen both of us so that we can do what we need to do to make this work. I am grateful that my husband is worthy, willing and able to serve. I am a very blessed woman.

Family Vacation

This year for family vacation we went to Washington and spent the first five days with Scott's aunts, uncles, cousins ect. It was really fun. I went to the Island for the annual Varbel (Scott's mom) girls weekend and left Scott at his cousins (AKA aunt Jessica) house with the kids for a couple of days.

At the Mariners game with Grandpa Dee, Great Uncle Richard, Uncle Aaron, Uncle Brett, Cousin Trevor and of course Daddy.

Aunt Jessica has a lot of animals and the kids were in pig heaven.

We went to the animal farm with Aunt Jess and her kids.

This is my cute new "niece" Aubree. She is the smiliest baby I have ever met!

The last five days we spent camping in Mount Rainer with my in-laws. It was a fun camp out. The weather was perfect, the kids played hard all day and slept hard all night and just had fun.

My Cutest little Junior Rangers!

We took a day trip to Mount Saint Helen's.

We took a ride on the Mount Rainer Scenic Railroad
