Here comes Easter!!!

I love Easter!! I love the colors, the bunnies, candy, eggs, baskets, Easter grass, peeps, jelly eggs, chadbury eggs, Easter Egg Hunts, Easter dresses, Easter bonnets, hard boiled eggs. I can't think of one thing I don't like about it. This is truly a kids holiday. And as you know I am a large kid. Some of my favorite memories are of all of my Uncle's, Aunts, and cousins going camping at Topaz Mountain for Easter weekend. We always had such a good time. And of course that Easter Bunny always knew where we were. Dad would always tease us about getting his gun to shoot the Easter Bunny. He know just how to get our goats. My Mom did a really cute thing with us when we were little. She would pick one of us kids to start with and she would tell them all about that child's Easter basket and what would be in it, as she went from one child to the next with the tell of their Easter basket it would grow. She would describe it larger and fuller with each basket, until she got to the fifth child. By this time the last children was so worked up and then she would say "And all you get is a basket." Of course we would all sequel. No wonder I love this HOLIDAY.............

Another Birthday

Here it is another BIRTHDAY! No Not for Me Yet! It is for Miss Amanda. Yes once again it is that time of year when Amanda sets off a barrage of birthdays, one every week and two in one for the next month. YES that is right. FIVE BIRTHDAYS IN A ROW. Well you know that is all right with me, because mine is in that mix. I do not mind my birthday because I just get better with age, kinda like cheese, a little smelly but I am good.
Amanda dear Happy Birthday March 20.

A Day of Scrapping

It was that time of the year again, a full day of scrapping. We had a wonderful time at Country Keepsakes in Salina, UT. Megan, Deb, Chalee and myself had a marvelous time and made 11 layouts. We look forward to our annual Spring Retreat and love all the give a ways that they come up with.
Tammy and the crew did a great job!!! I really think you out did your shelf's this year.

In a blink of an eye

It can happen to any one and at any time. In just a blink of an eye, life can change from good to bad, and bad to good. The sad part is you never know when, but just that it will. As I was raising my three girls, I often told them that NOTHING stays the same. EVERYTHING changes. It could happen in a blink of an eye, the ring of the phone, or a beat of a heart.

To boob or not to boob?

For the past six years Amanda has had steady pain in one place or the other! Today she is hopefully fixing the pain. We had to be at the surgucal center at 6:00 for surgery. She will be in the operating room for atn least 3 hours. I am not real sure about all of this, but I want her to not be in pain any more. Good Luck Love ya, Mom

Hello and Good Bye

Yesterday was by far one of the saddest days I have had in five years! We have all been awaiting the arrival of the newest member of our family. But life has a way of slapping use back into reality. Scott and Megan have lost their little unborn baby boy. He was born around eleven p.m.. He was perfect in every way. Ten little toes, ten little fingers, two cute little ears, everything that you would expected on a new baby. But the fact of the matter is all we saw was his body, his spirit has remained with Heavenly Father. Scott and Megan are comforted by the fact that he was born under the covenant of their eternal marriage. We will miss you dearly LITTLE ONE.

We had a GREAT SNOW GOOSE WEEKEND

The Snow Goose Festival was awesome. The weather was perfect and the visitor were in the hundreds, the geese in the thousands. The sun was warm and the Gunnison Bend Reservoir was calm and blue. I had a great time meeting and greeting festival goers and I did a bit of P-Ring. There were spotting scopes lined all along the shore for the viewing pleasure of the snow gesse.
