Many changes

2008-07-10T14:44:00.000-07:00

We've got our house for sale and will be moving to a house closer to Steve's work. I've sold my red car that I was quite well known in and replaced it with something newer and less miles. (I had put on quite a few miles the years I had it on my summer trips with my friends.) One of our miniature horses died about a month ago and we ended up giving the other away because she was so lonely. It was really hard to let them go. We still will be able to take the rest of Grandma's farm with us luckily. We couldn't leave our Beamer, Rex, Eugene, Fat Cat, Phil, and Dewey.

As you can see it has been a very busy summer and I think is going to continue to be.

Another Seattle trip

2008-07-10T14:36:00.001-07:00

Julie and I took a trip to visit Jayson, Jeri, and the kids. It was great to see them again. We visited a few parks, a beach, the farmers market to buy salmon, and spent time at their home. I can't wait to get back again.

Jackson antler trip

2008-07-10T14:27:00.000-07:00

May is the annual antler sale and auction in Jackson which Steve has been a regular for many years. The moose antler that is above the arch that says "Jackson" on it was one of his claims to fame.

Trip to Dubois

2008-07-10T14:03:00.001-07:00

I've made my first trip to Dubois, a place where Steve does some of his antler stuff.

My little gal has grown up. She graduated this year from high school. It's so hard to believe.

Fun at the Park

Julie and 2 of my cute grandkids!

Wedding Day!!!

2008-04-25T19:09:00.000-07:00

Can you believe I actually did it? It was an unbelievably perfect day. If I could make a slide show like my kids do I would show you all the wonderful people that were a part of it. We felt so much love from everyone. Steve is the best I could have hoped for. We spent a few days in Moab which was absolutely a perfect place for us to go. I have great pictures of that too but I can't seem to find them on the computer. Help! I was doing good to get these on here.

I posted this one of me to show you what my children did to me that day. Jamie did my hair; Julie did my makeup; and Amber did the pictures. I felt so pampered! They truly worked miracles.

Seattle again

2008-04-25T17:33:00.000-07:00

I can only think of one good thing about having Jayson out of the state is that Seattle is a fun place to visit. In March all of us girls decided to visit while Jayson went out of town. We had a great time shopping, driving, and eating Jeri's cooking. The time with the kids was way too short, like always. Ellie is growing up so fast and I love to hear her laugh, or should I say squeal! My favorite time with Gibson is bedtime when he opens up and tells me everything in his head. He could go on for hours. My favorite place to visit this time was in LaConner. I found a great candy shop and got me some fudge. Then we stopped and played around in the daffodil fields which was an unbelievable site.

Birthdays!!!

2008-03-08T20:26:00.001-08:00

Gibson's was December 30th.

Our Dawson has really turned 5 on Feb. 17th.

When did he grow up?

Julie thinks she's 18!!! Wow.

Winters in Cache Valley

2008-03-08T20:22:00.000-08:00

Oops! Christmas snow.

2008-03-08T20:20:00.001-08:00

January's record-breaking snowfall!

2008-03-08T20:18:00.001-08:00

This is February's hortizonal snow.

2008-03-08T20:15:00.000-08:00

This is today's picture. Will it ever be green again?

Christmas joys!

2008-01-02T13:02:00.001-08:00

As Kaizley said at dinner, with a smile on her face "We're all here together." It was wonderful and the best Christmas Eve I could have asked for.

slide show about me

2007-11-28T10:13:00.000-08:00

I know you will never believe this but the slide show has moved to the Seattle and I have been there and I do know the people except for that bride. I don't remember going to a wedding when I was there. You better look at this today because maybe tomorrow the slide show will be with me and my friends in Japan.

2007-11-21T11:59:00.000-08:00

Help!!! I was trying to create a slide show from my last trip to Seattle because I think they are so impressive but somewhere along the line I have a sample slide show about me. I have not been to those place and I don't know those people. When I have some more time I will correct that and try again at the slide show. More later. . . .

2007-10-02T12:37:00.000-07:00

OK, I guess I still don't have

this figured out. This picture

was supposed to be in with the

fall leaves sections. I thought

you would still like it.

Kaizley's visit to Grandma's.

2007-10-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

What a cutie!

2007-10-02T12:29:00.000-07:00

Who says my house is boring?

Fall leaves

2007-10-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

Woo, weee! I finally (with the help of my dear Julie) figured

this out. Aren't the colors great?

2007-10-01T10:08:00.000-07:00

The leaves are out and of course, I'm out with my camera. Steve and I drove through the canyon from Preston to Bear Lake. It was the prettiest place I've seen yet with the fall leaves.

OOps! This is a whale in Oregon. I can't quite figure out how to get this off. I'll try again for the fall picture.

The ring

2007-09-19T10:14:00.000-07:00

How do you like this picture? I took it myself.

Engagement

2007-09-19T09:16:00.000-07:00

It's party time!!! It finally happened. I'm still in shock. As of Monday night I am now officially engaged, which means sometime I'm actually gonna get married sometime. That's a spooky thought. So I think I will just enjoy being engaged to Steve right now. He is wonderful and so good to me.
Yesterday was full of phone talk, hugs and congratulations. It was a great day!

2007-09-09T17:16:00.000-07:00
