Josh and Ali

are celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary today!
2 Years!!!
The funny part is that it seems that Ali has been part of our family "forever".
We love having her as a daughter and appreciate how she put ups with takes care of Josh.
I still can remember like it was yesterday when Josh and I went to Twin Falls and he shared his feelings for Ali and that he wanted to marry her. 

They were married in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
They had their reception the same night in Burley.

and with any good reception you can bet there will be a mess made on the couple's car.
I could not believe all the people that came to congratulate them and celebrate in their happiness.
You have to love it when you see your children happy.
Congrats Josh and Ali wishing you many more years to come.
We love you


I am not sure why my pictures look strange...I will blame it on Blogger.

Hair Cut Dilemmas



Dilemma, may be a harsh word...But I have to admit I was just a little traumatized when I had may hair cut in Argentina. A nice young man...ie...women, came and asked me what I would like done with my hair...he/she only spoke Spanish and I only English, but I had a wedding coming up and my last haircut was way over due.
So, my Stylist, pulled out only what I could describe as Edward Scissors hands! And he began cutting...there was hair going everywhere, and LONG strips of it.
When he was done and I paid my $20.00 pesos..I believe every ounce of color was gone from my face.
But...I had one really good haircut.
It stays like I wanted it to and was out of my eyes,
PERFECT
So, when I come back to the states the girl that had been cutting my hair had moved, so I need to find someone who will cut my hair. Amber is like one of my own!. I have pictures of her setting in the crib playing with Derek but I thought why not..she always looks nice and put together.So, I call Amber and ask if she only does "tweens" haircuts or if she could do old ladies haircut too. She said yes that she could...
I will tell you my haircut is amazing!
It looks nice all the time.


and then she did my eyebrows...I wish I had done a before picture...
Let's just say I could give "Ugly Betty" a run for her money. So, Amber...you have a new client.
and I would strong encourage any of my friends to ask for Amber at
JLA Salon in Burley, Idaho

Josh & Taekwondo

I have been asked why I put Josh in Taekwondo when he was younger...
I did it because he was small, quiet and was being picked on a lot at school.
Not because I wanted him to be a bully, but because I wanted him to learn to have confidence in himself.
and what an amazing adventure it has beenJosh aka Mr. Burgess, "Teacher", Mr. Josh is now doing the same thing for other students.
Teaching the Martial Art of TaekowndoJosh enjoys "forms", basically they are self defense moves done in a specific sequence.
and though he is very good at sparing it is not his favorite thing to do
His weapon of choice...
The Bo Staff
His talent...
Flying!!Butthe HIGHER the better
Josh has always been respectful...and so that part of the Art came natural to himDon't get me wrong he likes the metals Though now he would rather just watch his students compete at tournaments
On Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, in Twin Falls, Josh mid-termed in preparation to earning his
5th Degree Blackbelt. He still has 1 1/2 years until he can test for 5th Degree and the
title of Master
But over the past 14+years I still get nervous at belt advancements, testings and tournaments
He is finding new ways to break boards
but everyone looks forward to watching him FLY
His respect and support to his Senior Instructors and students is close to unmatched.
Josh and I have traveled as he competed in National Tournaments and Demo- Team Competition
Kirk would stay home with Kira and Derek.
So, it was extra nice to have him at this next step of Josh's Taekwondo journey.
Love ya Bud...
You still have the Eye of the Tiger!

Country Living


Though we live in Cassia County, we still have a Burley address.
I love living where we do. It is quiet, peaceful and has its own slow pace to life.
This is a picture of a picture of our place in 1992 -but it still looks the same.
What's not to enjoy.
