I highly recommend "The parable of the princesses" by Jenny Phillips.
Also this song "Daughter of a King" by Jenny Phillips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm8G3wAc3hE

Christmas Concert
I so ache to be keeping you more up to date! I am so busy it makes me sick-- working and looking for a house has been enough and now throw in getting ready for birthdays and Christmas! Our ward was dissolved a few weeks ago. We are now part of the Pioneer 2nd Ward (instead of Rivergrove 3rd Ward.) We were all instantly released from our callings. So, I was actually officially calling free for a couple of weeks. (Ahh, big sigh of relief!) But, as of this last Sunday, I am now 2nd Counselor in the Young Women's organization. (I knew it wouldn't last!) This will be fun, but the Bishop did not encourage me by adding that this women's organization is busier than the last one I was involved in (referring to Relief Society!) Great! :)
Anyways, I wanted to be quick and just put some little video clips on here. Sunday, Dec. 6th my kids did a Christmas concert for our relatives who live close by. I wanted to share some of it with you. (I am sorry the video quality is so terrible, but it gives you an idea of what was going on.) We love you and miss you and hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!
(That was NOT quick to load these, but oh, well! Love ya!)

Summer Happenings Update
We got pre-approved for a house loan, so we are hopeful that we may actually get to move sometime soon. We are seriously house hunting now. It's fun, but hard to have the time for everything.
Let's see, what have we done lately? We read the book "The Giver" as a family and on June 4th, Chantilly and I went to the play at BYU. It was really well done.
In May, I was called to be the 2nd counselor in Relief Society. I am still the Enrichment Leader as well. My committee has dwindled and I actually only have one other sister on the committee with me! We're hoping that a new leader and whole new committee will be called soon! :) In the meantime, we're just not planning a lot. It's okay, our ward has really dwindled for the summer too.
June 11th, we left our house at 7AM and went to do a tree job in Castledale, UT for a friend of Brian's. We enjoyed the day working for and visiting with them. That evening, we went to have dinner, games, and spend the night at my Uncle Leo's house. The next morning, Leo, Geraldine, and Krista showed us some sights close by along the San Rafael River-- some pictographs and petroglyphs, the Swinging Bridge, and the Wedge. We saw lots of lizards, the kids loved trying to catch them, but never succeeded; also lots of noisy cicadas!
Also in June, Chantilly and Charice went camping with the Girl Scouts. Christian went to Scout Camp for a week.
We were in Beaver July 2-4. The better part of the 2-3 were spent helping Brian with a tree job. On the Fourth we got to enjoy the Fourth of July parade and Butch Cassidy Festival.
Chantilly took a fencing class for six weeks-- every Monday May 29th to July 6th. She loved it!
We are having fun reading and participating in our local library's summer reading programs. The twins have really gotten into the Boxcar Children series. They also read some of the Sweet Valley Twins-- Thank goodness I kept my collection! Our library doesn't really have any because they are out of print! I really enjoyed reading "the Host" by Stephenie Meyer. It was really interesting. As a family, we have gotten into the Overlander series (That begins with "Gregor the Overlander"). We love it! We only just started reading the newest Fablehaven book and are excited to finally read that! Of course, we are looking forward to the new Harry Potter movie!
Before we know it school will start again on Aug. 18th!
Enough for now. Hope you are having a great summer!

Jumpin Jacks
We (as a family) went to Jumpin Jacks in Springville, Utah on February 23, 2009. We had a lot of fun. Here is their website if you are interested in going sometime: http://www.jumpinjackskids.com/
I hope you enjoy this video of Brian enjoying some play time! It makes me smile! :) You'll also see Christian standing there; Chantilly goes down the slide on the right; and Charice does her own thing on the left.
(I guess I should also note that there is not sound, so don't worry about that.)
