Hello to everyone!

Hello! Well, so far our new year has been great. I have a new part-time job taking care of a little 4-year-old girl who lives nearby and is really sweet.

The Price is Right episode was so much fun to watch. I went to my sister Joan's school to watch it with her. She is a 4th grade teacher at Copper Hills Elementary in Magna, Utah and they set up an assembly for all the 4th graders to watch the show live. Brayden, Daniel and Sarah were with me (Trevor was out of town) and we whopped and hollered. Channel 2 (CBS) news came and so we were on TV. It was funny as they said my name was "Jill" instead of "Julie". My sister thinks that maybe during the interview she had called me "Jul", as she often does. It was fun to watch on the news and my kids were excited to see themselves on TV. My sister has a DVD copy that she will bring over so we can upload it onto YouTube.

If you missed the show, CBS has it online for a short while. Go to http://www.cbs.com/, go to shows, click Price is Right, then select Jan. 5th full episode (if they still have it). My friend also sent me a link that you can go to to see it. http://tinyurl.com/a99kxw My sister is Joan Harris and is the 2nd one called to come down. We are in pink shirts. The other two with us are my niece Tali and her Mom, Becky (my sister in law). We had such a great vacation together going to Disneyland, a taping of "According to Jim" (which will be aired, I think, on Feb. 13th) and of course, The Price is Right.

Price is Right!

Hey Everyone,
In case you didn't know, my sister and I along with our sister-in-law and niece went to the Price is Right in Oct. Well, my sister Joan has watched the show for 35 years and was picked to "Come on Down!" She won her game, spun the dollar on the big wheel ($1,000) and won the showcase! The show will air THIS MONDAY, Jan. 5th. You will see me blubbering like an idiot as my sister is the sweetest person I've ever known and so deserved to get called. :)

What a Christmas!




Hi everyone!
Christmas was great in the morning, but a nightmare in the evening. Sarah was bit on the upper lip by my sister's dog and we spent a couple of hours in the ER. It was a small dog (a shi zu...spelling?), but she had to get a couple of stitches! Ouch! She is doing fine now. The stitches came out New Years Eve day. I took some photos of her yesterday on my phone camera, as our camera isn't working right now. The camera on my phone doesn't take great photos, it makes her look weird (like a fish-eye lens). Oh well. She is healing very well.
