New Gilbert Temple


I decided that I needed to head down the street from where I live and take a picture of the progression of the new temple. How neat is it that the temple is so close to us. During the day I can hear the construction going on. This is actually the back side of the temple. Jaren and I were wondering why they are building so close to the road on Greenfield.. but it's a wonderful site to see it's progression come along and I need to pay more attention to it as it continues. I can't wait to see it all done!!




That's one handsome dude there!! He was taking pictures on his phone of the temple.

New Car??


I wish I had a new car!! But no...It's Jaren's car. Here a few months back he traded in his truck for this! It's really fun car! It's an Infinity coupe 2005. I'm really proud of him and how he went about it. He did a lot searching on the Internet what dealers had and what he really wanted. We went into this one dealership and this guy comes up to us Jaren explains what he is looking for because they had it advertised there and all the while why he is talking to the sales man I could see what he is thinking of what my relationship with Jaren is. Like am I his sugar Mama?? A Mom?? Hehe it was really funny!! I'm his MOM! I love it though! Then we went to a dealership way in to Phoenix it was on a Friday night pulled up and got out and Jaren introduce me as his Mom Pam and the salesman yes I figured that was your mom. He was so respectful to Jaren and Me both. He was an older gentleman. He showed us the car told us a little bit about it and then let us test drive it. I told Jaren this is a good car. The man is honest and I can feel it. So he was so helpful with Jaren in learning of what and how to do things. I was just so proud of him because he went to the credit union and did all the things he needed to do all on his own. He did not need Dave or I as a co-signer because he had built his own credit up in the last yr of getting his truck. He knew how much he wanted for a payment and what he could afford. He is happy with it. He will eventually go back to a truck, this is a new adventure for him to try out. It fits him well.

Poems By Jaylyn..

Ok so I was looking in my documents again and came upon these poems by Jaylyn. Now I have to brag but my kids can write. They did not get that from their Mama! I really thought that at one time that Janica was going to write children books. She writes well. And Jaylyn does poems really well to. I just love to read what they write. So in one of these poems it says's how old she is 16 going om 17. I just love these poems and wanted to share a little about her. She is a beautiful person and she writes so well about herself.



What Do You See?

My life isn’t extraordinary and it’s not plain
My life changes like the seasons,
Which never run out of personality
At times I may rain, I may fail, and blow off hot steam, and even at times blossom to full color

I am unique though you may not see it
If you truly cared and knew me
You would know me and love me for whom I am
As if I were a sweet lemon growing up
Always trying to show the sweet and not the bitter
For we all don’t have one flavor

Life to me feels like a tumbleweed
Always chasing and catching up
It’s on going until my last breath of wind stops blowing
Until then you will be running to get to know me
Forever running

But if one day you catch up to me
And see through the hearts as I do
Only then you will know me
For a rose may be beautiful with her little pricks
She does no harm
For truly you surpass those thorns
And begin to see the rose of everyone’s soul

Life no matter what will be bittersweet
Its what you believe and see
Is exactly what you will perceive




The Partially Perfect Me

I live where it never rains
And sometimes that gets lame
And sometimes a glass of water doesn’t last
Could you guess I live in the southwest?

I am six-teen going on seven-teen
And far from being lean
I like to eat beans and tease
And smile all the while
Even though I have my moments of doubt
I would rather be optimistic

I enjoy going camping and boating with my family
Dancing, and spinning my saber
I enjoy all kinds of music except rap
I like to read and most of all, have my space

I live in a dangerous yet exciting world
That flashes and zooms before my eyes
And like me, ever evolving and changing

I am not perfect, as you can see
Yet striving to be
While the boys that make my eye lids flutter,
Into a wonderland of day dreams
The ones who lie can’t help but stutter!

As you can see
I am my own me
Who lives, loves, and laughs at life
Like any one human being
Just trying to get by
For I only have one life to live
And I am giving it my best shot

A Funny Letter From The Past

I came across this letter the other day that was in my documents. I seriously remember this letter. It was done back when Jory just came home from his mission. So that was May of 2006. And Jory knew this girl from California. A really nice girl I believe he met from EFY. So this is what boys do when they get home from a mission and they have his brother in law and his little brother and a mission companion they are up way way late like 1 am in the morning playing around and just getting reacquainted with each other. I think this letter is a hoot. I really don't know what she thought of it. But I wanted to share! And I did not edit the spelling at all. They boys never did so I left as is!!



hey jenn, just got back from swimming its like 1 in the morning. today was my, well yesterday was my homecoming talk. it was pretty awesome if you ask me. my mission buddy, lil bro., brother-in-law and me are just stayin up late talking and hangin out. I was just thinking about ya and wanted to give ya a little e-mailetje.

hey we're just gonna have some fun, so bare with us aight!!?

have you ever gone to the zoo with a spiked belt and tight red straps wandering around like a pregnant kangaroo carrying a big fat...never mind all that. down to business, your going to see me in the slap fest with a green thumb growing grass. what I was going to tell you was that there was this one time back when I ate the most rancid moldy sour cream that looked like it had been sitting in the cow pasterzation system that broke down a week ago. the moral of eating sour cream while sitting on the cow's hein end is you might want to retrace your birth certificate and find out if your nurse has polio disease that transferred to you. my sweet grandma has the funniest looking feet that rashed up when she walked thru that same sour cream and I cried that I would understand the true meaning of the cat and the dog that could end when he fights with his under wear tied to his legs. after that stupid incident I scratched my bum and then I smelled a bar which always smells like sandy pooh. have you ever had the same feeling of a sandy toilet on your bum? it always feels like paper rubbing on rough skin. in the last year I experienced the most horrifying accident in my sandbox. I found a piece of long hairy dog beef. itcame to me in my toes and felt just like some squishy cream that melts in the microwave oven at high temperatures. when I was going to my microwave, my nose could feel something very unique running down in the bottom part of my lip. you always start a fus over the enlarged substance in the bottom shelf which looks like a hot piece of squeege. aren't they going to the mall to find a long brown pair of shoes. the creature was in the bottom of my bed room closet when it attacked me at bed time. I frieked out of control but when I ran to my mom's house she snuggled next to me. if she could see me now I would prolly go running to the bottom of the stairs because I am not a fraid of my sister's pet when it runs to my toes I look like a girl that doesn't dress in drag. so if I could see you again it would go according to plan. lets jumnp out of my tree onto a pig under the sewage pipes...oh I forgopt to mention I love to pick up berries with mexicans. about the same time that uncle rico threw crumbs at my kruis. after I took my bicycle chain back to the vending machine, gum got stuck on to my shoe. help me rescue my poor frog that also has a rashed foot from moldy sour cream. what the frik are you going to do when I pee in my carpeted lavender bedroom? try to stop me because I now am really under estamating the size of my diarea puddle problem imagine if you swam in the puddle. take off your socks that smell like long b s. if you could take me home right after we make cookies, could you also plant some weeds. take with cherrries covered with rice particles that have many sorts of colors that shin like a rainbow. but all I can say is don't ever date a dirty mexican like jory but if you want no other burritos just make me a happy man sorry I totally should have said cat there. what more can I say it is a ride that never ends, but don't ever stop taking pills because who would notice you ever again. thanks for being unnoticed, buthhhh sorry I am totally retarded. finally I am making nonsense from 3 amigos that eat ice cream from pasterized sour milk. really I don't think you look at other midjets talking what!!! we micky and mouse club on the crack shack vanilla elephant trip. hopefully my dad will give us the permission to see rated Geeeee films. that’s the end of the story!

wow, ok that was from the boys, we played a game to make a story for you saying one word at a time one by one. each of us took turns and that’s what it turned out to be. I really hope it’s a little funny to you, cuz it hilarious to us. we got into that stage of tiredness where we were rolling around on the floor laughing at the stupidest things. read it noe word at a time and see how it all came together.

January Javelina Month

After Christmas and New Years bring on the hunt for the pig they call Javelina. Dave and the boys get soo excited to get their bows and and go to the desert and hunt those ugly critters (that's my opinion) down. Dave asked me if I wanted to go. NO......lol!! I'm not to keen about camping in the desert anyways and I don't really like being in a tent out in the desert to. So Dave was a lucky hunter and got his Javelina this year. The boys are still going out hunting on the weekends till they can find one. Dave is going to eat the meat he had his butcher put it into sausage. Yuck!!! I won't eat it!





Now in the midst of hunting Jaren came across a Fox! He really has never seen one and he pulled out his bow and got it. I was sad for the fox. But that little boy was happy. Its a skill I suppose if you can kill it with a bow. They are very fast so it was a lucky shot that he got it.

Aww this new little one is a sweetie! He still sleeps a lot so when I get to see his eyes....its wonderful!! It's so fun to kiss and smooch those cute little cheeks and I love his little nose to! He looks a lot like Jory at the moment but time will change. He is a joy to have in our family!








Uncle Phil



One day I was running errands with Breken and just stopped by work to see David. Well Jaren just said Ohhh I was needing to see this little guy. He was soo happy to see the "B" So we took some pictures with them together. Jaren will make a good daddy one day!!
