What in the world? I'm really just out of the habit and hopefully this little post will get me going again. We are alive and well in Saudi Arabia! The house has been rather quiet since Whitney graduated and left the nest. We miss her like crazy and can't wait to see her next week. Not only will she be coming but so will ALL OF THE REST OF THEM!! Yes, Taylor is coming from Idaho and Ivy, Calder, Piper and Rhett-baby will be coming from Vegas. We are so excited we can hardly stand it! Evan is almost half way through with his junior year. He's doing great and loving life. He got he opportunity to take a trip to Berlin.....(that deserves a post of it's own....) I'm staying busy decorating for Christmas, being the branch Young Women president, and whatever else I do on a day to day basis.....So expect more posts very soon!! gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-48499073585813539872011-05-24T10:38:00.001-05:002011-05-24T10:41:56.767-05:00Hey 19<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat?

I jumped on the bandwagon in Season 2. I absolutely love it and can't understand how anybody can't! Evan is as obsessed as I am and Whitney and Brad just endure it as best they can. We have continued our Idol tradition here in Saudi Arabia. We get it two night a week just like in the States only one day later. So we get it every Thursday and Friday nights. We get together with three other families EVERY week~ the Masons, the Mosleys and the Stratfords. We rotate houses and cook lots of food and it's just a good old time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This past week it was at our house.

Hi Friends! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I'm not sure if it's me, my computer or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">blogspot</span> but I'm having a plethora of problems posting. We'll see how this goes. Well, my dear friend, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">MaryRuth</span> has a new feature on her blog called Tweet, tweet, let's meet. She featured moi this week. Check it out. I have to add that it is because of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">MaryRuth</span> that I am now the biggest blog stalker of all time. Many years ago, we got her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Chistmas</span> card and in it was a web address to her "blog"- a word I was unfamiliar with. I read hers, read her friends (many of whom I still read- Catherine, Hillary, Emily Kate...) A few years ago, I started my own. I love it!</div><div> </div><div>Continuing our American Idol tradition here in Saudi Arabia is a blast. This, in my humble opinion, is by far the best season ever. We get it here on Thursday and Friday nights. Three families and ourselves get together EVERY Idol night and whoop, holler and eat yummy food! </div><div></div><div>Hopefully I can get this problem solved with blogger and can upload my pics soon! Thanks again, MR! </div><div></div>gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-69042551367055429602011-01-22T20:51:00.000-06:002011-01-22T20:51:30.608-06:00I'm Back......<p$1><p$1><p$1><div><div><div><p$1>Ooops! What in the world has happened to my blogging? It's been two months now. So much has happened lately that I'm overwhelmed with the thought of trying to capture it all with words and pictures. So, I'm going to just touch on some highlights and go from there.</p$1></div><p$1><ul><li>The middle of December found us boarding a big plane to bring us back to the good old USA for the Christmas holidays. </li>
<li>Brad, Whitney, Evan and I flew to Miami and rented a car. We drove down to Key West for a few days. We ate some good food and saw some sights then on to Orlando for some real fun.</li>
<li>Drove up to Orlando. Checked in to the condo and met up with Victor, Stephanie, Devon and Emily (Brad's sister and family) We dropped off the kids and headed to the airport to pick up the other kids. Taylor and Ivy and Piper flew in around the same time so Brad and I went our separate ways to find them. Bought Piper a Minnie Mouse at the airport. Calder didn't fly in until the next night. It was SO great to gather them all up and then we headed back to the condo. Jerry had reserved two three-bedroom condos right next door to each other. They were beautiful!</li>
<li>Brad's parents, Mary and Jerry, flew in later that night. Brad's brother, Brian and wife, Cindy had arrived that day, as well. Now everybody was there.</li>
<li>Took Disney by storm! Everybody hit it hard. Covered it all, Hollywood Studio(where our favs are Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster) Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom....The funnest thing was Piper being there. She was really, really good and it was so fun to watch her loving every minute. </li>
<li>Ate Christmas dinner at Golden Corral but even that was good. It was a huge buffet with all the holiday trimmings.</li>
<li>Spent a wonderful week there then put the Huntington's on their flight back to Vegas and the Graves back to Arkansas. The other Pogue's (Mary and Jerry) were headed to Ft. Lauderdale to go on a cruise. Said our goodbyes and flew back home to Louisiana!</li>
<li>Spent a relaxing ten days with our family and friends. Nothing set in stone to do, no wake-up times, no committments.....very relaxing, enjoyable days. Some eating, some shopping, some movies.</li>
<li>Put Taylor in a plane back to Idaho for winter semester. He's signed up for snowboarding class (along with his real engineering classes) and is spending all the free time he has on the mountain and loving every minute of it.</li>
<li>Flew back to Saudi in time to rest a couple of days and send everybody back to school and work. Chelsea was glad to see us when we picked her up at the kennel. She knew we had had fun without her. The best thing about this trip is we got bumped to Business Class for the longest leg from Dallas to London....it was fab!</li>
<li>Found out the happy news that new Baby Huntington will be a BOY! Piper will be the beautiful big sister to a bouncing baby brother in June!</li>
<li>Evan tried out for the school, Dhahran Academy's fall production of The Crucible. He found out he got the role of Giles Cory and he is really excited. They started practice Thursday and it will be a busy couple of months with practice almost every day.</li>
<li>We also got word that Whitney has been accepted to BYU-I! It's nice to feel like we have a plan now and can make summer plans. Yay, Whit!</li>
<li>The kids are heading into mid-terms this week but after that, have their trips to Switzerland and Bali to look forward to. Evan to snowboard in the Alps, Whitney to snorkle, hike and bike in Bali. What's wrong with this picture?? I've never been either place. Someday.....</li>
</ul><p$1><p$1>So, that's basically what's been up! If you ever look at my facebook, you knew most of this anyway. Now I feel like I can start from 'now' and I'm not behind anymore! (It will also help to change my Christmas background to something else!) Love y'all and thanks for reading!<br />

(remember we live in Arabia!) We decided to take a little adventure and drive to Dubai. We know several families who have driven it and didn't really want to spend money on plane tickets. It was about an eight hour drive through the desert but the roads were fine all the way!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkakeeigqdLmmX7d5m5GY_69jCQyDWvA8puvDY-oBgPueolN2x9DWgrS3ZXqRsuqlC1kEUb4A5oonq4LpCPP16La11D1Fq7QUfFABcrW3lL34jmIkr-B3YNRVQaKQ4PUkk14Pz9AJjgcs/s1600/dubaicitytour.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541020920297011442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkakeeigqdLmmX7d5m5GY_69jCQyDWvA8puvDY-oBgPueolN2x9DWgrS3ZXqRsuqlC1kEUb4A5oonq4LpCPP16La11D1Fq7QUfFABcrW3lL34jmIkr-B3YNRVQaKQ4PUkk14Pz9AJjgcs/s400/dubaicitytour.jpg" /></a>Google image of the city and also the Palm in the ocean where the Atlantis hotel sits. (no, we didn't stay there....just visited) It was amazing. All the land was filled with VERY high dollar real estate. It made us wonder who are all these people and how do they all have this much money. Evan ran into a friend outside the Atlantis....how random is that??<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNaXQYpYwa9skIl0Xm5QkPzPwWRWFN95OFsipsUPPo0ks1eXStl3VIBUZRDtqrMka66sLxclSuOdhCazUX406vAdJ8_sU_VuxemxPtoRPxfvUrKmphVr6lQtvijYU-WkfL55g7bLCy4u9y/s1600/dubai-palm.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 182px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541020790638501346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNaXQYpYwa9skIl0Xm5QkPzPwWRWFN95OFsipsUPPo0ks1eXStl3VIBUZRDtqrMka66sLxclSuOdhCazUX406vAdJ8_sU_VuxemxPtoRPxfvUrKmphVr6lQtvijYU-WkfL55g7bLCy4u9y/s400/dubai-palm.jpg" /></a>Back to the beginning, we got up early on Friday and left about 4:30 in the morning. The sunrise was beautiful. We watched it rise over Hofuf.<br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqVi4RbQmTd48IBESg0Or5PwbxaC5ehtR9abB-P1k3o8mSYNVu2IQzOFO22gUf1FOo99MBaSGEByuSc0uu-H3fMPlOugQV0ifKUT5mTTcPvKDPR0uzPqLmmQqDkFvXGbZTXZGay9U5sj6/s1600/DSC_0493.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541013449708110722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXqVi4RbQmTd48IBESg0Or5PwbxaC5ehtR9abB-P1k3o8mSYNVu2IQzOFO22gUf1FOo99MBaSGEByuSc0uu-H3fMPlOugQV0ifKUT5mTTcPvKDPR0uzPqLmmQqDkFvXGbZTXZGay9U5sj6/s400/DSC_0493.JPG" /></a>We drove and drove and drove through nothing but sand for what seemed like forever. Really, just nothing for hours and hours. If we go again, we will pack more food. We weren't hungry but it was unnerving to see that nothing was available. We got through customs fine into the UAE then drove through lots more sand.....got to our hotel late in the afternoon. It was called the Golden Sands 10. It was a high-rise apartment building basically, nice and clean but no frills. It had two bedrooms and baths and a living area and kitchen. Whitney thought we should have stayed at a fancy hotel for just one night instead of the cheap on for four.....but we disagreed! (trust me our four nights here was a fraction of one night at most others!)<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIybiqpTa-mQ3ykqdud_uocZ-uyut7cfSaVv5NVfAaxDiko9e5JnFCFT23DeJUd2s2JJQyD9kNqY_4hmrvJBPvmace497EXKcTc_QWDslYXB_qz1Aqhnf_rxSBxj0FIiywTecpHzGMqhQ5/s1600/DSC_0693.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541012608993207362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIybiqpTa-mQ3ykqdud_uocZ-uyut7cfSaVv5NVfAaxDiko9e5JnFCFT23DeJUd2s2JJQyD9kNqY_4hmrvJBPvmace497EXKcTc_QWDslYXB_qz1Aqhnf_rxSBxj0FIiywTecpHzGMqhQ5/s400/DSC_0693.JPG" /></a> We spent our days shopping, going to museums, eating yummy food and seeing some movies. Rumor has it that Tom Cruise and the whole cast of the new Mission Impossible were in the mall at the same time as us. They are filming there. We didn't see them but the mall was buzzing about it. We saw Secretariet which was really good.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEickd71jpeZa37X1wvAfBWsfbVrlgP92fYFVmsdIIAW_uLJRnpgMO5peHhVcy_ldVSFboTU3kXuihR9_M7DpxpKGOGXulJLamCBozf6tRI8vbbhWjLlOHgDNJn9iVrT_iWvAptafraXOs2s/s1600/DSC_0488.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541009307075073698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEickd71jpeZa37X1wvAfBWsfbVrlgP92fYFVmsdIIAW_uLJRnpgMO5peHhVcy_ldVSFboTU3kXuihR9_M7DpxpKGOGXulJLamCBozf6tRI8vbbhWjLlOHgDNJn9iVrT_iWvAptafraXOs2s/s400/DSC_0488.JPG" /></a> I took a picture of these workers because as we drove by it Evan said...."I used to have a Hot Wheel just like that but I never thought about putting people in it."<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgitMYwaq1-RXowuHhKcLd0WW87xaxesClT3S4wxi-rP-m0WnRvWQi_wdBtnxMI40yZ-MIxxrfT6s2k25JVpa6HjSojZy8tWeKDJMQeozDjFSlTOrmPrWiKlAW4-6nyT08Ps4aeK6ZXMxb7/s1600/DSC_0518.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541008436950897202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgitMYwaq1-RXowuHhKcLd0WW87xaxesClT3S4wxi-rP-m0WnRvWQi_wdBtnxMI40yZ-MIxxrfT6s2k25JVpa6HjSojZy8tWeKDJMQeozDjFSlTOrmPrWiKlAW4-6nyT08Ps4aeK6ZXMxb7/s400/DSC_0518.JPG" /></a> The highlight of Whitney's trip was Ski Dubai. It's an all indoor ski mountain with lifts and runs....just amazing. They provide all the equipment in the fee. She skiid for about three hours and loved every minute. Evan opted to use his money for something else since he's going to Switzerland in February to ski. And since he hadn't skiid before, he would have had to pay alot more to have the training class.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiko4XPb9b4MPGUoffRkoQcSfdPRXjzGrWb2K-oyWqX_qwgwhh3CUQjGmguqIywk1xWwpSKoCJJ_1vvqOiyO3q5tvasFhd_3Kxt0DrWcrffyCFHZAC7hKz_jNPJHyf8GPVbviNjvh9OFHRy/s1600/DSC_0633.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541007786796045474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiko4XPb9b4MPGUoffRkoQcSfdPRXjzGrWb2K-oyWqX_qwgwhh3CUQjGmguqIywk1xWwpSKoCJJ_1vvqOiyO3q5tvasFhd_3Kxt0DrWcrffyCFHZAC7hKz_jNPJHyf8GPVbviNjvh9OFHRy/s400/DSC_0633.JPG" /></a> This water feature in the FestivalCity mall was cooler than the picture shows.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUvCqwwJ8mlXdRoooCmZgrZtkKjNUKLH9LThZBbt6AX9Q1de7WGt_Qu1nRAx4Ei_h8PFNJBchV1ysukNZVcM1SNvKbCCTh3oTtonBd7lZkxgLEMQRIbYZkfVdIvctDTfQDxWxYkQlmEOo/s1600/DSC_0654.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541007141165990034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUvCqwwJ8mlXdRoooCmZgrZtkKjNUKLH9LThZBbt6AX9Q1de7WGt_Qu1nRAx4Ei_h8PFNJBchV1ysukNZVcM1SNvKbCCTh3oTtonBd7lZkxgLEMQRIbYZkfVdIvctDTfQDxWxYkQlmEOo/s400/DSC_0654.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLR4lcu4nPQ0wS69KUscnU-DDaLVWv7qfBX3kl8cdgLGIn5H4lf2qBro3ApyBrfz2Ifj1_pY91_vRnIfoQWfnAkB8oikNNsxAY_1EDRpbpbAdSmBSTfs5OzAXzdpVDOqwA-2NPfvYMaO0B/s1600/DSC_0630.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541006538082039938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLR4lcu4nPQ0wS69KUscnU-DDaLVWv7qfBX3kl8cdgLGIn5H4lf2qBro3ApyBrfz2Ifj1_pY91_vRnIfoQWfnAkB8oikNNsxAY_1EDRpbpbAdSmBSTfs5OzAXzdpVDOqwA-2NPfvYMaO0B/s400/DSC_0630.JPG" /></a> One night we went to Global Village. It's a big fair thing where vendors come from all over the world to sell their wares. Whitney got a henna on her arm from an African lady. <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinB3iNr1huSFYwxncrvL-8vm7-EITh9nkhgz4kz3LhY25I0oPPVMbgKoOXK1Xr9e5JJ_tVCPMqXyyYMmzpj6nOoVJQN3Lj1P9G5h1QYm-TEbanlCqt3ESTWi0REPRRsRxX1PDEYkSP60r/s1600/tallest-buildings.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541005515529217698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinB3iNr1huSFYwxncrvL-8vm7-EITh9nkhgz4kz3LhY25I0oPPVMbgKoOXK1Xr9e5JJ_tVCPMqXyyYMmzpj6nOoVJQN3Lj1P9G5h1QYm-TEbanlCqt3ESTWi0REPRRsRxX1PDEYkSP60r/s400/tallest-buildings.jpg" /></a> The biggest disappointment of the trip was not being able to go up in the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world. We waited until the last day and they were sold out of tour tickets. We did drive along side it and looked up. It is unreal how tall it is.

Got up early Tuesday morning and headed home after a quick stop at McDonalds. Here are a few sights we saw on the ride home. Brad and I laughed later while looking at them that they didn't seem odd and they seem like they should!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzB9BvbMhI-giigJC7ew2T4u-uGawenPifrXF3E15kMjqeLHeeBsV_st4RAr4v-KObLSzMJ3kAR8eQH0LT7rieQEfvW2-lQxMYdr9QdTVVkUaK8kH64IGx5D7h394fwot1kNITSW-7FBSc/s1600/DSC_0499.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541003790608382434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzB9BvbMhI-giigJC7ew2T4u-uGawenPifrXF3E15kMjqeLHeeBsV_st4RAr4v-KObLSzMJ3kAR8eQH0LT7rieQEfvW2-lQxMYdr9QdTVVkUaK8kH64IGx5D7h394fwot1kNITSW-7FBSc/s400/DSC_0499.JPG" /></a> Traffic slowed down for this fellow.

Brad did an excellent job of getting us around. I'll close with a quote by Whitney....."Dad, I'm sure if you wore a thobe and drove a BMW, you'd be more respected and less honked at!"</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-81322704876782491982010-11-06T08:16:00.002-05:002010-11-06T08:25:27.945-05:00That time of the year......The weather is finally cooling off a bit here in sunny Saudi Arabia. The past few nights have been very pleasant and the temperature in the 60's. (an added plus is NO MOSQUITOS) Friday night (our Sunday) Whitney noted that it felt like "gumbo weather".

Life is normal, busy. I really am in a blogger's slump but here are a few random things. I've been reading this book, The Help. Thanks to Katie, Ivy and Donna for recommending it. It's fabulous. Really, one of my all time favorites. Read it if you have time.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPWtXf3_jhmGjggvdroBCi0jIDL4Z_Ta00Q8VOIh-oD5QpnJBRtsjbWJEUcTuu2yVYta9itRQSKyTtFM_7Kkf7No_R3yAn6HrM-23STmDNtNYWqAaQ-f7r8sI3oK_dRdOaKN3O9iJrEXz/s1600/the-help.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531308334459664482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPWtXf3_jhmGjggvdroBCi0jIDL4Z_Ta00Q8VOIh-oD5QpnJBRtsjbWJEUcTuu2yVYta9itRQSKyTtFM_7Kkf7No_R3yAn6HrM-23STmDNtNYWqAaQ-f7r8sI3oK_dRdOaKN3O9iJrEXz/s400/the-help.jpg" /></a> As most of you know from facebook, we took family pictures while we were home for summer. I finally got them all printed and framed. Today my friends, Donna and Leanne came and helped me hang them. They look SO good and I'm so excited. They make my family room seem so cozy. No more bare white walls waiting for the pictures! I'll put up another pic soon of the huge family one I got done in color. I bought a sideboard table thing today to go under it in the living room. I'll get it hung tomorrow and post....maybe......<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-07ykLUD4SY0Erp-yjv9XTy54gJABJKtCTNgQd1lyNqOepyRmMl5BeIIfcOCwnvpxN4_jiraHTIKoImL06M5v6DemcsdB-LwXywMJzIVZ961_hzaWk9cFsnfivrZx2-EFNhry5ZfSatB/s1600/DSC_0342.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531306904407395746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-07ykLUD4SY0Erp-yjv9XTy54gJABJKtCTNgQd1lyNqOepyRmMl5BeIIfcOCwnvpxN4_jiraHTIKoImL06M5v6DemcsdB-LwXywMJzIVZ961_hzaWk9cFsnfivrZx2-EFNhry5ZfSatB/s400/DSC_0342.JPG" /></a> Just another view of our little family room....<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsKqY02U5J6qHJElDLLSdgWt-Fx8s9HndOdrtUVW0h9mVpDYxLoeAt-IvtU_S0eFLDwTUE48JfpF6h63N13KwqYP0_qUYBgf7MGtw_rOdy6RzifA4a0ddDdt0_LVZkoEk7-LPtJ5QXyKo/s1600/DSC_0339.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531306089128114562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsKqY02U5J6qHJElDLLSdgWt-Fx8s9HndOdrtUVW0h9mVpDYxLoeAt-IvtU_S0eFLDwTUE48JfpF6h63N13KwqYP0_qUYBgf7MGtw_rOdy6RzifA4a0ddDdt0_LVZkoEk7-LPtJ5QXyKo/s400/DSC_0339.JPG" /></a> I love this guy.

I ordered it and had it shipped to my friend Debbie's house in Utah. Her husband, Wade, brought it back to Saudi for me last week. (along with my blue case with light that works off the Kindle battery) I had debated for a long time about whether or not I wanted one because 1) I enjoy owning books 2) I like the way books look on the bookshelf and 3) I like the way books feel, the pages turning, the print, etc. But I finally ordered mine and I love it more than I ever thought I would! I've ordered a few books and am really enjoying reading. Starting with Catching Fire (second book in the Hunger Games series). Awesome. Next, Mockingjay (3rd in the series). Then, because Evan recommended it, The Book Thief. Also, all my scriptures, song book are on it and easily accessible. ***** (5 Stars from Gwen for her Kindle!!!)

Evan did get delayed for several hours in Dallas. Michael, our next door neighbor was on the same flight so they ate and visited. I was glad to get Evan home. I really missed him.</li><br /><li>The day after he flew in he started driver's ed at Parkview. It lasts Sat. and Sun afternoon for two straight weekends then three days of a few hours of driving. He is now the proud holder of a Louisiana Driver's Permit.</li><br /><li>Orange Texas Stake Youth Conference was held in our area this year. Glad the kids were there for it. It was great. I housed six teenage boys at the house and got them where they needed to go. So fun!</li><br /><li>I had PRK eye surgery, the older form of Lasik. I see super great close up now, like for reading but my far vision is still not as good as I'd like. I think over Christmas, I'm going back in for a tune-up. I will be regular Lasik this time which will be much easier. It's amazing though to be able to read and do my crosswords without glasses at all.</li><br /><li>Brad flew in August 1st which is his birthday and our anniversary. We were all so happy to see him. I was actually thinking we'd been married 24 years but he came home with some beautiful diamond earrings for our "25th" anniversary. What? 25 years? Could it be? Yes, Ivy informed me that she was almost 24 so it had to be 25. How did I lose a year? A real sign that I'm getting older. But I love my gift. They are beautiful. And luckily Brad had ordered himself a new trolling motor so I didn't feel guilty!</li><br /><li>Whitney was invited to go to Destin, Florida with the Guidrys. She was gone a week and had a great time. Lots of fun in the sun!</li><li>Taylor flew in from Idaho the day I had eye surgery. It was so good to have him back. He fished almost every day and fried fish for like nine days straight for lunch.</li><br /><li>Evan was invited to go on vacation with the Zingers. He flew to Minneapolis where they picked him up and the drove to Des Moines. He had a great time. He turned 16 while he was there and they treated him like a king; amusement park, birthday dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and Kirstin even called to get the recipe for his favorite Butter Cake. He had a blast.</li><br /><li>Donna, Chad and Abigail came to spend a couple of days with us. Fun! (own post to come)</li><br /><li>Piper (along with her parents) came to Nana and Papa's house to visit. Papa (Brad) was so cute and went to Walmart to buy her some toys to play with. Of course Nanas and Papas must have toys! (own post to come)</li><br /><li>Brad's parents also came and we had a great time with everybody.</li><br /><li>The day before we flew out, we took family pictures with Lindsay Janies Photography. They were supposed to be outside but in true Louisiana fashion, it poured so we had to opt for inside. I think they'll be good anyway. Can't wait to see them.</li><br /><li>August 18th- Brad, me, Whitney, Evan, Ivy, Calder and Piper loaded up to head to the airport. Taylor had left on an earlier flight to Saudi. We met up with him in Bahrain. Perfect timing. Elaine Newton was also flying out of Lake Charles so we had fun with her in the airports. Had breakfast at Chili's in Dallas before we parted ways!</li></ul>gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-42139357830919083882010-08-31T18:04:00.006-05:002010-08-31T18:12:58.999-05:00Crazy Summer but I'm gonna try to catch up....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7_IZeHBjCu770fU0snQ5Rs2W0Uk-WJiizO5P7SzkIwgur_mbwSOVtxZTF9eBtuNx-JX40o1QBL_gbVymqaQeN55ukXNAPOn7gOwNJr_APSCPTK9ooJ4O6IlAPyOhhjvYACvpbYrYUj3z/s1600/summer-fun.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511715205830153890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7_IZeHBjCu770fU0snQ5Rs2W0Uk-WJiizO5P7SzkIwgur_mbwSOVtxZTF9eBtuNx-JX40o1QBL_gbVymqaQeN55ukXNAPOn7gOwNJr_APSCPTK9ooJ4O6IlAPyOhhjvYACvpbYrYUj3z/s320/summer-fun.jpg" /></a>This summer has been so, so, so packed with stuff that I've just not even known where to start. It's been busy and fun. I'm just going to start blogging stuff. You might enjoy some of it but mainly it's for us to remember all the details. Whitney and Evan both took trips with friends that they really enjoyed. I took some trips. We had lots of company which we loved. I'm just gonna start and add to it when I can.

I really do enjoy reading blogs. I justify it by saying things like "I hardly ever watch tv" or "I'm really interested in reading about normal people and their lives"...I'd actually much rather read about someone like me than somebody famous. So most of you know that I read NieNie Dialoges which is the blog of an "inspiring beyond words" woman who survived a horrible plane crash. I've read it for years. Also, her sister has a blog called "C-Jane Enjoy It" of which I am also a faithful reader. Andrea reads them, too. Thousands of people do, just saying. When we knew we were coming to Provo we decided that we MUST find out where they live and drive by! Do you think this is creepy? To make matters worse, we decide to recruit sweet, innocent Rita as our driver and Lisa as one of our accomplices. Ivy acted like she thought it was dumb but she was all over the clues helping us find the Retro House. So in Blue's Clues fashion we wrote down everything we knew about where they lived and went on the hunt. We never found NieNie's house. (later that week she actually posted her street name....(It would have been fun to wave!) At one point Andrea said defensively, you don't understand, we feel like we know these people!"

/>Sorry for the delay in updating. It's certainly not for lack of things to say. My wireless internet isn't working at home so I'm using the desktop which is at a desk with a hard chair. I usually blog from a comfy chair or even my bed so.....I'll sacrafice! Two days after we got home from the beach with the Zacharys, Whitney and I drove to Houston to fly to Las Vegas to visit Ivy, my oldest daughter, her husband and of course Piper, my beautiful grandaughter! We had a room at Circus Circus so Ivy and Piper stayed there with us and we had a three day sleep-over! We did see Calder at least everyday but honestly, I think he appreciated having them out of the house so he could study for the bar. It's coming up at the end of the month!<br />Highlights:</p><ul><li><div align="center">Piper, Piper, Piper!! She is getting so big and we just played and played the whole time. She was a little angel the entire time. </div></li><li>Seeing Mary and Ric, Ivy's wonderful mother and father-in-law. I'm so thrilled that Ivy and Calder will have them close by</li><li>Dinner with Mary, Ric, Mayce, Becca, Davis, Ivy, Calder and Piper. Ric treated us to a wonderful Mexican dinner and it was delightful!</li><li>Getting my new wedding ring (I got it the same week Piper was born) sized by Ric. It's been a little big but now feels perfect.</li><li>Swimming at the little water park with Whitney, Ivy and Piper. I swear, everyone that passed by stopped to comment on how cute and chubby Piper was in her little Juicy swimsuit. Piper loved the pool, so we took turns in with her while the others sunned and snacked. Perfect!</li><li>The actual circus in the middle of Circus Circus....Piper actually seemed to enjoy it. The others of us mainly made fun of it but we had fun. Also, making fun of the very ghetto pool at the hotel!</li><li>Tons of food~ Cafe Rio twice! Pick up Stix, the yummy Mexican place that I can't remember the name....it goes on and on....</li><li>Deseret Book and the upstairs place where I got new stuff!!!</li></ul><p>The only bad part was it was over too quickly and we had to get on the plane and come back!!!</p></div>gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-16478559060836009782010-07-01T21:26:00.001-05:002010-07-07T21:30:54.868-05:00Law School Grad.....<div align="center">Congratulations to my wonderful son-in-law, Calder on his graduation from University of Minnesota School of Law!

We flew from Bahrain to Frankfurt (which was a new airport for us) then on to Dallas. One of Whitney’s school friends, Jakk was on both flights all the way to Dallas so that made the time go by fast for her. After lunch at the airport Chili’s it was onto the tiny plane to Lake Charles. Thanks to Susan for the ride home! We were home for one full day before we took off again. Zack is in Biloxi on the oil spill and is staying in a condo there. Andrea and the girls invited Whitney and I to go. We had a great time. Highlights of the Biloxi trip:<br />• Whitney and Mary Catherine being way out in the Gulf and hearing a “doglike” noise behind them. They turn around to see a black fin super close to them. Andrea and I were laying in lounge chairs watching them run as if in slow motion wondering why in the world they were ditching the rafts. Andrea’s exact words: “It better be a shark!” Actually we learned that it was a dolphin. Hilarious….they just knew they were going to be eaten alive.<br />• Lots of food…..Bonefish Grill (Thanks Zack!), Piccadilly, McDonalds, IHOP, Andrea’s muffelata sandwiches, chocolate dipped pretzels and strawberries, etc….the eating just went on and on.<br />• The beach had no oil that we could see.<br />• The pools at the condo were super nice.<br />• Having a sing along all the way home helped the time go by. At the top of all our lungs, we covered Kenny Chesney, Ronnie Milsap, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash…..you get the picture.<br />So now we are home one more day before we take off for Las Vegas! Can’t wait to see Miss Piper (oh, and Ivy and Calder, too) We’ll come back the 25th and plan to stay home from then on. Evan will come July 2, Taylor later in July and Brad on August 1st. Hopefully at some point during the summer, my whole family will be together in one place at one time. Is that too much to hope for?</div>gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-61014571614220875802010-06-12T08:00:00.006-05:002010-06-12T08:47:41.627-05:00Another Rock-Star Performance....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nO3CVAQnuikpWyJniwanxBaDVngLlyoIeSO62s2jQu7PCEYoUriVRaxdhuHt6K8Qr53E8M21JAvkaT_h4SlZG4zu5tvk7NPUFnAdThgA8vwSIReW0Q_3TFU5yVCaNKAaRpVSPTZcH_oo/s1600/BISAK.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 362px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481871507915839186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7nO3CVAQnuikpWyJniwanxBaDVngLlyoIeSO62s2jQu7PCEYoUriVRaxdhuHt6K8Qr53E8M21JAvkaT_h4SlZG4zu5tvk7NPUFnAdThgA8vwSIReW0Q_3TFU5yVCaNKAaRpVSPTZcH_oo/s400/BISAK.jpg" /></a> I know I've talked about Evan and his rock band before but he just loves it. Here is an article from the school news about their latest concert. So cute that his picture was featured with the article.<br /><div></div><br />Bisak Rocks! Last Saturday evening, Mr. Craig and his rock bands traveled to the British International School of Al-Khobar (BISAK), to perform in Bisak Rocks. The school is located on the compound formally known as Al-Bustan and have a new rock band program this year. Mr. Craig has worked hard in recent years to collaborate with other rock bands from area schools in an effort to create more performance experiences for our musicians. It was another wonderful concert for our musicians as the quality of performances were strong and our kids enjoyed the chance to play for a large and very appreciative audience. While the last roadtrip of the school year, Mr. Craig and our rock band students look forward to another successful year of performances in 2010-11 as the program continues to thrive and grow!gwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692191312067579766noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375789965559977292.post-23654930623769174502010-06-02T05:21:00.004-05:002010-06-02T05:35:57.384-05:00What Being Too Sick for School looks like......<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMofHRLjL3IoYpcZlVRJLryIviFzfVKd4HkXAL9Ty1KCY5Cb0WcNG7b9k-9FoGwEQSRc5czBwF7iVgYOMlU1dD7lzjUATeSOAA6xM6AaioZa1-2IFEH2NmWpiQ0PuuZLOD9Jz-h1RT-9ug/s1600/DSC_1084.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478120791150027986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMofHRLjL3IoYpcZlVRJLryIviFzfVKd4HkXAL9Ty1KCY5Cb0WcNG7b9k-9FoGwEQSRc5czBwF7iVgYOMlU1dD7lzjUATeSOAA6xM6AaioZa1-2IFEH2NmWpiQ0PuuZLOD9Jz-h1RT-9ug/s400/DSC_1084.JPG" /></a>All you need is a little fever, a cozy blanket you quilted yourself in quilting class, an xbox, Call of Duty, a laptop to chat with friends who may or may not be at school and a few Mountain Dews.... oh yeah, and a straight chair.
