~Weekend Family Reunion~

Shanda, Kenny (her boyfriend) and the girls came to visit. It was a blast. The girls have grown up so much and are a lot of fun. Grandma Ann had scrapbooks made for each one of them to work on, with lots of pictures of them to add. We had a yummy dinner at Grandma's house and then came out to our house for some Farkle and cookies, junk food and laughs. It was a lot of fun. We hated to see them go home. Hopefully, they will be able to visit more often, but for now We Luv you guys!! Here is a movie of Leticia, Bianca, and Elina.........They are Karaoke Krazy!!!

Better late than never!!!

About three weeks ago, we went to Price to see Russell and Steph and the kids, and Melissa and Neeley. Brian was still in Texas saving mankind. We had a lot of fun just seeing the kids. We took Melissa to Provo. She wanted to go to Cosco before little Brylen was born. So we did just that. Later, we went to the discovery park with Melissa, Steph, Nils and the kids. It was a lot of fun. Emma had a little friend who just happened to be there. She took me by the hand and told the little girl, "meet my grandma". It was so cute. Neeley and Gauge just played. It was freezing and they didn't want to leave.

The next morning we all went to Breakfast at the Balance Rock Cafe. The best food in Eastern Utah. Seriously, the best. And enough food on one plate to feed three people. It is in an old building, kind of like the ones on Milford's main street. They sell all kinds of antiques and have live bands every once in a while. Anyway, lots of fun and never enough time to spend with the grandkids.

Snow Already?

We've been told it was going to snow, and now it's really here. It really sucks. I love the hot sun, and cool falls and even rainy days, but snow just isn't in my personality. It's probably because I am so HOT!!! And we all know hot and cold don't mix.

Mary Jo and I were in the gym working out, and when we came out, it was a whiteout. The car had two or three inches on it. And we were in the gym for about 70 minutes. It was so beautiful under the lights. But nontheless, Cold. Summer is officially over girls, so get out those winter clothes and hot chocolate mugs, because if anything else it is an excuse to just stay inside at night and enjoy family time together

Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!!!

Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard to get her poor hubby some soup

But when she got there, the shelves were all bare so she panicked and went to buy every sale she could lay her hands on.

Honestly, I am a little worried about where our economy is heading so I thought I better get a grip and do what we have been told to do for decades. I know we get tired of hearing it sometimes, but I worry that it is going to get worse before it gets better. Anyway I have been having fun filling the shelves. Especially the bottom one. If ever there was a time to be prepared it is now. And if you don't have a stockpile of chocolate, what's the point?

Anyone know who's Booty this is?

We found this picture and can't figure out who it is. Any ideas? Wish it was mine!!!

For me?

We went to the Neeley family reunion. (Russell's mom was a Neeley) in Bailey Creek Idaho. And as we went through a little town called Soda Springs about five miles away, we spotted this sign. I wonder how they knew I was coming and what are they proud of me for?

I know how to dwive Gwandpa!!!

I'm back.......FINALLY! You would think with no kids, except the 51 yr. old, I would have more time on my hands. Not true. I stay plenty busy, I just don't know how.

Anyway, the week of Mallory's wedding came and went. Stephanee and the kids came for it. It was awesome. Gauge and Emma are as adorable as ever. Anyway after the wedding we snuck (is that even a word?) home and took the kids and Steph for a Jeep ride. The kids were having a ball, when Jase tells Grandpa that he wants to drive. My wise, all knowing, too trusting and daredevil at heart husband jumps out of the Jeep and tells Jase to jump in his seat. Jase drives all by himself, at a snails pace of course. He really was pretty good to stay on the road. This was serious business you know. Steph and I were still having fits, but the kids did pretty well. Emma then took over the prestigious chore of getting us all home safe. I don't know if she ever looked at the road but she had a blast. Then Gauge wanted a turn. No way Russell, he can ride on your lap. Anyway memories were made and the kiddies had a blast. Little Jaxon was just happy to be there. He didn't last very long and he fell asleep. We made it home safe and sound with a story for the kids to tell everyone. Russell is taking the pictures as he walks along the side of and behind the Jeep.
