Happy Spring and fun with Family

Yesterday, I had all of my kids and grandkids at my house for the day. Its been awhile since we have had them all there. It was fun. We had a ham dinner and just visited and hung out for the day. Heather and Koby had come up on Saturday after going to Jackson overnight. It was her birthday over the weekend and they went to play. The weather was fairly decent and so the kids and David, Trever, and Christopher even got to go out and play some football. Everyone ate and pieced all afternoon and then I had made fresh strawberry and coconut creme pies. They cleaned those all up before heading home last night. It was a fun day and I enjoy feeding my family and that they can spend the day with us. Here's to many more fun, spring, days!!!!

It' s been awhile

I decided I needed to post something since it has been awhile. Last week-end John and I went down to Heather and Koby's just overnight. We got up on Monday and headed over to Bear Lake where we attended his Aunt Maxines funeral. It was nice and he got to see a lot of cousins that he hasn't seen in a very long time. He only has 1 aunt and 2 uncles left on that side of the family so it was nice to see them too. The rest of the week I have babysat and worked. Today I am getting ready to go to Tiffany's little open house that she is having for all the aunts, uncles, and cousins to come and see all the changes that they have made to Grandmas house. They are awesome and you wouldn't even know the place. It is totally amazing how different it all looks. Grandma and Grandpa would be so pleased. Everyone have a great week and keep praying for Spring. I know it is out there somewhere.

Spring is Coming

I just thought I would let you all know that I think spring is just around the corner. The birds have been singing and the snow is melting at my house. You can see a lot of grass which is okay, but I don't know if I am ready for it or not. I love springtime but, I dislike all the work that it brings. I think I am getting lazier as I get older. Of course, I don't get around as good as I used to either. I just about talked myself out of growing a garden but then the leaders tell us to and to store food. So, I probably will grow a garden. I have been trying to use up s lot of my canning so I can do new stuff. I try to at least open 1 bottle a day. Somedays I do better and open up 2 or 3. Anyway, its always nice to use up the old and get some new in the bottles. I hope everyone is feeling better now and that you are all ready for Spring. It's coming whether we are ready or not! Here's to sunshine and green grass!!!

Butterfly Fly Away

Saturday night, John and I and some others from the family went to the Upper Valley Idol program. We had a famous singer that we knew and she was performing. It was our sweet little Malorie. She did so good. She sang Butterfly Fly Away and it was super. Her Grandpa said she was the only one that was actually on key. It was a cute bunch of kids that tried out and Malorie got third. She was just beaming and so was the rest of us. We are very proud of you Malorie and hope you keep singing with that sweet little voice. Love ya!

A Great Week-end

What a fun week-end! Heather came up from Lewiston on Wednesday night and we played the rest of the week. Thursday we scrapbooked and just hung out with Tif and kids and Linds and kids. I made taco potatoes for lunch and we scrapped almost all day. That night we went to Wendy's house and made beaded watches and bracelets. On Friday, we scrapped again and Jaimie and the kids came over also. I made chicken cheese soup and cornbread for lunch. That night, our girls week-end started. We went to Bajio for dinner and then we went back to Courtney's and got in our pj's. We played games, did fondue and stayed up late. On Saturday, 2 girls came over and gave us all a pedicure. It was fun. I have only had 1 pedicure in my whole life. It felt so good. We also watched a movie and then we went to Pita Pit for lunch. My first time and it was way good. After that we went home. David and Heather came over and ate supper with us and we just hung out and watched the Olympics. Needless to say on Sunday I had a 2 hour nap. I think I am still recovering, but it was really a fun week.

We Survived Valentines!!!!

The holiday is over. Hallelujah!
I am so glad it is Feb. 16th and that we survived Valentines. Everyday I would pray, please let me make it thru this day. And, I did. We were very busy for the holiday. Not just Saturday, but all week. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were all very busy days. We only had to stay late on Friday though because we were very organized and had really good help. It was a great success and I hope all of you had a Happy Valentines Day.
I only have to work today and half day tomorrow and then I get to have some days off and have some fun. Yippee!!!! We are having our girls weekend this week and I am way excited. Heather and Lizzie will be here tomorrow for 5 days and then the fun begins. We are going to scrapbook, make watches,go out to dinner, play games, sleep over, have pedicures and go to a movie. I'll be ready to go back to work for a rest. HAHA! No, it will be great. Have a great week everyone.

Happy Birthday to my Hubby

Today is my Johnny P's birthday. When we got up I decided to fix him some cornbread, bacon and eggs. We put candles in his cornbread and called it good for a birhday cake. He said that was great! I gave him some new "Brut"$20.00 and a kiss for good measure. I hope he has a Happy day. Some of the kids are coming over later but we are not having a party to speak of. I have a lot going on so I'm a bit overwhelmed to have a party. I have to teach Relief Society tomorrow on Strengthening Your Marriage and then the crazy week of Valentines will be starting. I hope everyone has a good day.
