"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"

I had a quick getaway to the lovely West Yellowstone with my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law. In my husbands family there are 9 children. 6 girls and 3 boys. So there were a lot of girls all together this weekend. We had a great time taking my mother-in-law to West Yellowstone for some shopping, dinner, and a play for her birthday. We all enjoyed the short time together. We took some fun pics and laughed a lot. Family time is always fun with the Jeppesen's!

Jordan's Promenade's

My children's Junior year is always so much fun especially because of Prom. This was our first experience having a daughter go to prom. Looking for dresses was so much fun. We were so pleased to see what she chose to wear. She looked so beautiful and elegant. We will always remember "The Way You Look Tonight".













ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER PROM
These pics are from her second prom which was in Las Vegas. She was asked by a boy who she met at EFY last year. We drove her down there to kill two birds with one stone....a prom for her and a weekend getaway for Garen and I.

Mom's Favorite Day

This, by far, is my most favorite day of the year. I don't know why but I absolutely love Mother's Day. I think it is partly because all of my growing up years I dreamed of being a mother. Now that the kids are all older, I am seeing the fruits of mine and my husbands labor. Our kids are so good to me and treat me with great respect. My son's are so kind and respectful of me and my daughters are the sweetness and beauty in my life. I couldn't of ever asked for better kids. Another reason why I loved this Mother's Day so much is because I got to talk to our son, Tanner, who is on a mission. He sounded so wonderfully happy. He is loving what he is doing and that he is serving the Lord. I often think of this scripture....
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" 3 John 1:4









SWEET NOTE FROM MY MCKENNA










BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS FROM MY FAMILY

Way to Go Timpview!

What a time we had down in CA. Just after going to Ventura with my friends, I met up with my fam at Disneyland again. We had a great 4 days in Anaheim and watching the Timpview cheerleaders compete for Nationals. They did a great job taking 3rd place Nationally. It was so fun watching them compete.

OOO You Make Me Live!

This past month has been a crazy busy one for me and my family and I have neglected my blog because of so much going on but I will catch you up on all the exciting stuff going on in our lives. I spent the last week in March with my college buddies. We have an annual trip to Ventura. My dearest friend Stacy is always so kind to let us come to her beach place. We love going there. We just have a relaxing time....talking, watching movies, tennis, shopping, mani-pedi's, eating...you get the picture. My friends, Penny, Sandi, Laurie, Stacy, and I have been close friends for more than 25 years. It is always so much fun to have our reunion and we look forward to it each year. Thanks so much you guys....You are my Best Friends!

A Week We Will Never Forget

This has been, I think, the toughest week our family has ever had. But through these mortal experiences we can learn from them and let our understanding and faith grow. It has brought teaching moments everyday for our children. If you click on this link you can understand the heartache we have experienced this week that was very close to home. It was difficult for them as they were interviewed by the news station in our home. You never know how your children will be when something like this happens but I saw so much courage and strength and deep faith that you sometimes don't get to see in your offspring until years later. I know we will make it through this moment of time and always keep an eternal perspective in our hearts and minds. We Love You Kat and know that we will someday be with you again.

Strawberry Delight

As I was making my yummy strawberry salad last night I came across this siamese strawberry. I took a picture of it because I thought, "Hey I am getting a two for one deal here." How lucky is that. I almost couldn't eat it because it was so beautiful and unique.

I've Got the Music in Me

I stuck this picture in because these keys know me SO well. I am a story teller through music. When I start a new song, that is all I can focus on until it is done. I LOVE to write MUSIC. The only way that I know how to explain it is...it is like giving birth. It is a process of ideas and melodies rushing through my head and fingers and I cannot leave it until it is finished. I don't know how other song writers are inspired but mine is like a labor of love and the end result is so rewarding.

Wow How Time Fly's

It just seemed like yesterday that Jordan was going to the cute little cheer clinics at the High School. Now she is teaching them and Mckenna is being taught. These years seem to just fly by. I can't even barely blink because then I might miss something.<>
Look at these girls, they are just about ready for Competiton Cheer!
