I just had to post this picture of Rita out side of the trailer. She really loves going camping. Every time she see's her brother John she gives him a penny to pay for her trailer. We Love Her!!!!!





This was our spring trip to Moab Utah to go 4 wheeling. It was a great weekend. It was still a little on the chilly side but we really enjoyed it anyway. Dee and Rita, JD and Jodi and the kids went and we all loved it. Thanks to the trailers we were warm and comfy. The scenery was amazing and we all decided we would go back.

Samson's 1st birthday

Sam is 1 years old. He is a sweetheart. Him and Paige are the same size the only difference is that Samson in 1 and Paige is 2. The pictures you see here are of his 1st birthday party at G and G house. He loved it and loves playing with all the kids. They are all so good with the little ones. When he got his cake he was not sure what to do with it. It was not long and he did catch on and cake was everywere.

Last weekend John and I made a mad dash home to be with our beautiful grand daughter on the day she was baptized. It was a wonderful day for her and her family. She is a very special daughter of our Heavenly Father. The dress she wore on this day was made by her mothers friend Mindy. Nicky took her wedding dress to her and had her make this beautiful dress for this very special day. It was gorgeous. We love you TJ and know that your Heavenly Father is very proud of you for the good choise you made to be baptized. We Love you!!

Dad and I went to the New Mexico Temple. It was the most wonderful experience I have had in some time. We sat in a Navajo session with many wonderful Navajo children of God around us. I thank my Lord and Savior for that wonderful opportunity.

All over passes are painted they are really cool!

John talking with the warriors


















This area of NM is called Camel Rock. I wounder why!!!!!

John and I are in New Mexico with his work. This is the Motel we are staying at. You know dad, he would never take me any place that we did not have a very nice place to stay. We have a small kitchen, living and bed room. It is very nice and the people here have been extremely good to us. John is working for a consulting firm and doing work at the national lab in Los Alamo's, NM. We should be done by late February.


This is the only picture we got on New Years Eve. I am not sure why. Samson was playing under the snack bar and was having a hard time fiquring out how to get out from behind the stool. We had lots of fun that night with lots and lots of king crab. We really missed family that was not able to make it but we all had lots of fun.


Well it has been a while since I have done my blog but we have been a little busy. Since December 1st we have gone on a trip to Disney world with our family, I had hip surgery, Christmas, and moved to New Mexico for a month and a half for Johns work.
I do not think there are very many that look at this blog but it is a good way to keep track of your life. My niece said she does it to keep a journal. I think that is a good idea. Well here are some of our Christmas pictures. Not many were taken this year I think because I did not get up and around much. But thanks to our grandson Quinton and Grandpa we did get a few and I am really happy with the pictures we did get. Santa came on Christmas eve, the kids really loved that!!!! Christmas morning we had our every year pajama Christmas morning breakfast. We have Swedish pancakes and all the rest. For members of our family that could not be there they were all calling to get the Swedish pancake recipe. It is just the best thing on Christmas morning. Our family is so blessed and Grandpa and I really love having our family come to our home. We are the luckiest Grandparents in the world. Chy and Justin and the boys did not make it home for Christmas and were pretty home sick, we were home sick for them too. We love them and really missed them. We had just been together for Disney world and spent a week and a half together, but we still missed them.
