Thanks To Everyone

I want to thank all of my children and Grandchildren for taking time out of their busy lives to make special gifts, take me to dinner,sing special Grandma songs and making those long distance phone calls. I love all of you and I am very proud of all of you I am also greatful to Bernard for the talk he gave at church yesterday on respecting wives he shared alot of personal stories along with alot of emotions he did a great job and he even taught my primary class (7, 3year olds) so I could attend the Relief Society Conference. I just want you all to know that all I ever wanted as a young girl growing up was to be a wife and mother and grandmother so again thank you to everyone in the family including son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws for making this all possible I LOVE YOU ALL XOXOXOXOXOX

Thanks Janelle, Janae, Mia and Susan and Elvin

A big thank you to Janelle for accomadating everyone on short notice and a big thank you to Janae for driving all that way so that we could spend some time together and thanks so much Mia for being such a good (nanny) we love you and it is obivious that the girls do to.I have been trying to blog some pictures but I seem to have lost my touch since it has been so long. I will keep trying anyway it was great to be with everyone the girls are so entertaining and growing so much, Janelle and Brandon have a beautiful home. It was different being in the snow. It was beautiful I hadn't been in the snow like that since I was little and lived in Arkansas and I was to young to really remeber what it was like. It snowed everyday. It was great going to the Manti temple with Janelle and Janae, it is always a blessing to be in the temple but when you are in there with your children it makes it even more of a blessing. Thank you to Susan and Elvin for making this whole trip possible for us they are truly great friends. Again a BIG THANKS TO ALL!

In case anyone notices

I decided to write a little ditty about what is going on in our life. I'm sad because I can't find my camera and I am missing out on getting cute pics of Riley and Chase, I could have gotten cute pics of Amber and Cheyenne when they were here for two days. Oh well as for me and Dad we are just plugging along with alot of hope and faith that things will get better workwise for us soon. We finally have tenants for the rental, this is the first time in 23 years that we had to make the full house payment on the rental that has not been fun. On the upside tomorrow we get to experiment with the request for a skateboard cake for Tysons family birthday wii party. Last Friday we had a social at our house with some ward friends lets just say we hope that we didn't scare Debra's new husband Tom off, he is really a fun guy but there were alot of laughs and good old chit chat we opted not to play any games but just to talk and shot puns at each other all night anyway fun was had by all. So not anything exiciting but a bit of an update.

Finally some pictures

easter pics

sorry I am having a picture issue hopefully I can figure it out soon.

Easter fun

We had some grandpa and grandma time this past week with D,Am,Ty and Ava we had lots of fun playing games, the boys and Grandpa watched a couple of Star Wars movies we let them pick what we had for dinner one night was pizza and another nachos, Amber brought some homemade cookies that she had made. We had rainy weather most of the time so Grandpa got to hang out with us most of the time. Josh,Aub and Riley came over and we dyed eggs and the kids helped stuff the plastic eggs with candy.

We had a house full ( not as full as in the past we are down to about half of what it used to be about 25) on Easter Sunday, lots of good food and desserts, thank you Katrice, Richie and Trey for hiding the eggs and thanks Auntie Brenda for leaving the Jelly bean game Jackie and Aubrey took care of that one for me thanks girls.
as you can see from the pictures the backyard was well used by many.

Hope everyone had a good Easter Sunday filled with reflection of what the true meaning of Easter is as well as an Easter visit from the Easter bunny.

P.S. Thanks Janelle for the vidio you gave us for Christmas I put it in as soon as soon as Dad and I got home from church and just let it play until time for us to eat.

Just a update

Yeah we finallly have some work we are scheduled for the whole month of April for the most part. Sigh of relief for this month anyway.

We spent last Saturday planting some tomatoes, squash,and a bell pepper most of the time was spent building a barrier in the ground for the gophers it worked last year, although Dad is trying a different method this year it was quite time consuming so it better work.

Sunday was a fun filled family and friend farewell for Brenda and Kevan it was well attended with alot of good food and desserts. I still can't believe that Brenda is really moving she will truely be missed and was a big help visiting and helping take care of Mom/GG.

Last night we went to watch Tyson's school program it was adorable of course and so was he.
We went out for pizza with Drew, Jax and kids and watched the Sharks on the big screen at the pizza parlor I haven't missed to many sharks games this year.
