THANKS! His Mommy

A Great Picture!

I was going through my pictures on my computer today, and thought that I would post this picture from 3 years ago. I hadn't met Don yet, and my children were my life. This is before mom and dad left to go to Martin's Cove I believe. (I think that my mom has on her wig, from her own cancer battle.)

Such a great picture and memory!!! I love my parent's smiles! They look so happy!

Lagoon...

Time to start thinking about Lagoon passes. I'm just letting you know, that you have to buy them before June 6, to get the better prices. Also if we buy 4 or more, then you get a better deal. So it is best to buy them in bulk with others. ($87.95 for 4 or more, by June 6th, then $98.95 after that. They raised their prices this year!) So if anyone wants one, let me know, and I'll add your name on when I purchase mine! The more the merrier, and we can all save together!

I just have to have something to look forward to, for the summertime. (Our cruise will take care of the spring!!!) I know that Jed will be home...Woo Hoo! But then he will leave me again, and go and sell in Texas with Jake! So me, Jenny, and Josh will have to have fun together I guess.

So what do you say? Anyone for the thoughts of FUN in the summer???

January Blahs...

Are over!!! Woo Hoo! It is now time to begin thinking about Spring for me. And with that, we have planned a cruise to the Southern Caribbean with Kim and DeEtte. (Anyone could come...I don't think that it is a closed party! lol) I don't care if the Groundhog saw his shadow yesterday...in my mind, Spring is on its way!!!

So now I can begin tanning, working out more, and trying to look decent in my swimming suit again! Can anyone tell me how to lose a muffin top? I don't think it will look well in my swimming suit!!! Maybe I better leave the 2 piece at home!

Boise

We had such a good visit in Boise. We went on Sunday the 24th, and came home on Tuesday, the 26th. While we were there, we went over to Kim's place, and Jen did a Glitter Toe Party for the Idaho people. Missing in the pics are Katie, and Michelle. I missed getting them! Kim had fixed 2 big pots of soup...corn chowder, and chicken noodle soup...AND homemade rolls! It was yummy!

Kendra, Beau, and Dax

Ella and Stacie

Little Eden...Kendra's daughter

Kim, Jen, and Mike...who tended during the party!

Travis, Beau, and Josh. Beau liked to be in the pictures. Travis and Josh are the same age, and they went and played Glow In the Dark Miniature Golf, while we had the party.

Jenny and Mom at the cemetary at Amy's grave. It was cold!!! Dad stayed in the car.

Dad, Jenny, Josh and Mom

So here is Dad's debut of his new glasses. Mom picked them out without him there. Aren't they groovy? lol. We had such a good time being with mom and dad, and visiting with the family there. It was a special trip for us, and we loved it. I am looking forward to visiting more with them in the months to come. There is just something about spending time with family, isn't there? I cannot get enough of it!

I loved spending time with Jenny and Josh too. We don't go by ourselves much, and it was nice to visit with them at the same time. Hopefully Jake will go with me on the next trip. I'll try and make it a time that he can go so that he can spend time with my dad too. On the way home, we stopped at Maddox in Brigham City to eat dinner. The best way I know to end the trip!!!!
