Be the change you want to see in the world...

Synopsis of Us

Lisa is au natural. She likes to have babies at home and drink slimy green liquids with large amounts of earth in them. She loves the quacks and we love her. If you are ailing, just call Lisa. She will doctor you up!

Melanie is a little bundle of energy. She's very peppy and always bouncing around. Do not drive with her. She tends to talk and visit and not watch the road. Cuts a mean hair-do!

Sarah is crazy! She loves Diet Pepsi (too much). The group photographer with many free photo shoots for her friends. Many questionable eating habits that we all ignore, hopefully they don't kill her.

Emily is an overachiever. She never sleeps and wakes up way too early so she can pratice music with her kids. She loves the earthy green drink too. Be careful, she will try to poison you with sugar-free goodies.

Jen is a dental hygienist. If you want to know which kind of gum to chew (to xylitol or not to xylitol, this is the question) she'll know.

Lana is full of crap! Literally, her house is full of crap! Yes, just stuff. If you ever need any random thing, pretty sure it's in her house... somewhere. Very competitive, don't coach children's athletics with her.

Adria is straightforward. She pretty much says it like it is. She is our community sex-ed advisor. Any questions, just ask her, she knows it all.

Marianne (one of the tall, leggy blonds) is amazing! She graduated from college while taking care of her four children and working to save the entire Chinese orphan population.

Marilyn is a perfectionist. She has to have everything at a ninety degree angle, if not, she's nervous. Hopefully this doesn't kill her. Likes to scrapbook, spends a large sum of money on this activity.

Stephanie (another tall, leggy blond) really likes to work out. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Nursing is her profession (not wet nursing).

OK so the stupid cap slid to the back of my head just for this picture! So funny because I just finished telling Sarah how I hate it when girls wear their caps on the back of their heads!!! Looks like the jokes on me!! Thank you Sarah for snapping the pics of my kiddos with me and Jarrod. Much appreciated.

Steph- and all you gals we are having a bon fire and chocolate party Sat. night at 7pm. I am getting a chocolate fountain and will have stuff for s'mores and chocolate cake from Costco. We will just hang out and celebrate. Bring your husbands and make it a date! If you want, bring your favorite treat to dip in chocolate. My house, 7 o'clock be there or.......be a big fat loser:(

Marilyn said...

Wow, you are the most beautiful 37 year old (okay still 36) graduate EVER!!!! Jarrod better keep an eye on you at graduation, you're gonna get hit on! I really wish we could come up this weekend but with Sunday being Mother's Day, we won't be able to make it. Let's definitely do another one in June when we get home from our trip and the kids are out of school.

Hi Ladies! I am a very old (actually we're the same age) friend of Lana Payne Gibbons and just Googled her and found your awesome blog. Sorry if that is creepy- I was hoping to find her still in Pocatello because my parents are moving back there. I'm glad to see that Lana is still making people laugh and *what-the-heck* I can't believe that you have six kids!!!! BTW we have an Elder Preston from Burley here in Vermont- anybody know him? He's so adorable and he can slam dunk a basket ball :)
Anyway, Lana be in touch sometime! My blog is theallredbarn.blogspot.com
Big Hug!
