Elder Cutler's Birthday




Danny was born April 2, 1989 in Kirkland Washington.
He had two big sisters at that time.(He still does, plus a younger brother) He didn't have to talk for himself 'til around 3 or 4 years old. Those sisters anticipated and interpreted every noise and gesture.
We moved that very next summer to Sedalia Colorado.
This photo of my curly headed little boy is one of my very favorite of him. He explored every nook and cavern at full speed and then looked back to grunt and gesture his approval to the following Mom.(me, of course)

Happy 20th Birthday

Elder Daniel Keith Cutler!

Colorado in the Suburbs of Phoenix


We do live in Val Vista Lakes. (our subdivision)

All those of those snow birds with sprayed on tans in their electric pontoon boats did a double take at the site of these two!


I think Summer is here for the displaced Cutlers.

Chile and the Elder Dan

All´s well in Casablanca.


This is the last week of the change, which is wild. i´m almost 5 months old.


We had a doctor appointment last monday for e´myers, he got some meds and is doing fine now. me; i´m always fine, so no worries there. one of the recent conversos was really sick these past two weeks, i didn´t teach her or baptize her, but i went by with e´nelson a bunch, so i kinda know her, mirna, her name is. anyway we went by and she was really sick and asked for a blessing, so i figured i outta give it a shot. it was rather rough, but good. so i gave my first blessing! not just anointing, so that´s exciting. she´s doing fine now. she´s like grandma, but chilean hyperactive, so you can kinda get a picture.


Also we got a baptism this saturday, Sara, so that´s exciting. we´re teaching her son too, but he´s been so so but when the mom get baptized he´ll see how it is. he´s getting animated about things, so thats good.

work is going good.

i´m cutting more hair,

we got bikes. the pic is of the good one that my comp rides, mine is ghetto-fabulous, which is just how i like things. they´re way sketchy, but we get around a whole lot quicker. and you can tell from the suit that things are cooling down around here. it´s getting really cold at nights. still burning in the day.


you can tell from the picture of me falling on my bum skateboarding. little kids now flock to us like i´m the pied piper. i´ve figured out a couple magic tricks, and i´ve been working on the handstand skateboard ride to keep um on the edge of their seats. it´s fun. the new missionaries in this sector if i leave are gonna be flogged with pleas for magic and skate. ah well. asi es la misíon love you all. david, keep it real hopefully you get my letter soon.
> tell the watts i send my regards, and paul harvey is a voice i know i respect, that´s too bad.
take care family.

House Plants are Good for You.


Did you know house plants clean your air?

Potted plants like ferns, palms, or ivys absorb toxins out of our homes air supply. New paint or carpeting are common sources of toxins/voc's.

About 15 potted plants could clean up an average home in about 24 hours.
So get youself a Golden Pothos Vine (one of my personal favorites) and breath easy-easier.
This has been a tip from your freindly neighboorhood Horticulturalist. (no jokes please)

Spring Again


There-- is that a young man? Look closer.
Ahh -- Yes,there he is--shoulder deep in parts and
covered in grease! (Not really, he is a Cutler after all.)

Notice the cleanliness. This space is cleaner than my house!

This is Heaven for Dave!
Working on the Rover is his idea of BIG FUN!
It is what he chooses to do in his time off from school. This, instead of Southern California, the Beach, and Disneyland.


Where did I go wrong?
I could've been working on my tan!



Spring, as I have misquoted before,
( see "spring" posts feb o8- clic on spring label below)
is when a young man's fancy turns to CARS!

Two peas, I mean cats

This is Cat and Zoe laying on the back of the sofa in Keith's "office". Zoe is trying to be just like her mentor, Cat.

Yes, it is that thrilling.


I tried not to choose long haired cats for life in the desert but these cats chose us.
What 'ya gonna do?

(click on pets or abandoned kitten posts to see history)

attempting something






I just had to try again and create a flower arrangement. For no good reason.

I am talking this first attempt apart tommorrow probably, although it looks better in real life than it does in these photos. No flash would've been better, MAYBE.

You can't even see the blueberries in these photos and they are one of my favorite parts.

Not really

I don't really want to blog anymore.
My life is dull and i don't feel the words.
How's that huh?

Allison at home



I love it that Allison is working hard in so many different areas of their life in NYC.
One of those many ways is making a home.
The way I am referring to at this moment is the physical home. She is painting and decorating to make a comfortable, welcoming place for her family.
way to go Al.

Must be a good day

What am i doing?
I am blogging and eating Muddy Buddies at 1:18 am

Just























A good friend has been in town for a wedding and I got to spend some time with her. Stealing her away from her family gathering.

We were told not to actually touch the statue.













All the Orange trees are in bloom and their perfume (there is no other way to describe it) fills the whole valley.





































We put the top down on Rachel's little two seater Miata, and took the Apache trail to Tortilla Flat. It's a winding Stagecoach trail to a flooded washed out road and the end of the blacktop. They are known there for no telephone service of any kind and a population of 6.





The place is covered with dollar bills and the stools are saddles. The museum holds only five people at a time because it is so small. There are only four buildings.









We had flapjacks, eggs over medium, bacon, toast and jam, hash browns, buttermilk biscuits...mmmm.









We drove carefully fast above Fish Creek along the trail/road.


We went in the early morning (my version).

























It is good to be just a girlfriend once in a while.
