Ward Valentine Dance

On Friday, February 22 we had a ward Valentine's Dance. It was so much fun. Not very many attended, but those that did had alot of fun. We played a game that you had to ask questions to find your famous partner. Dad was Mark Anthony and he had to find Cleopatra. I think we ended up helping him in the end. I was Marilyn Monroe (which I guessed before we even started, but no one will tell me I was right). I had to find Joe Dimaggio and I came in a close second place. It was alot of fun.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

We had alot of fun on Valentine's Day. I woke up to a very cute card from Gary. And he called me at work and asked me out to dinner. But I sort of put him off by telling him I will think about it. But in the mean time, I had planned a romantic dinner for two. It was a lot of fun.

When will it quit snowing!!

We have had alot of snow lately and we are getting sick and tired of shovelling it. So I thought I would share the piles with everyone. I sure hope it melts some before it snows again. The snow piles are almost taller than I am.

Kids Left for School

Well it has been a while since I last wrote. Vanessa and Josh are both in Idaho at school. Jacquie graduated from BYU-Idaho on December 14th. Ryan is still attending BYU-I, so they are living in Rexburg, Idaho. It is nice to know all of them are together to help each other out.

On Saturday July 21, we went to the Palmyra Pageant. Gary, Vanessa, Tassia and I went. It was alot of fun to visit all the special places again. We went to the printing press first. Then over to the Temple and then to the Joesph Smith home and grove. The weather was beautiful. Gary couldn't go to everything, so the 3 of us went and did it. Gary patiently waited for us. We even climbed the hill. We ran into a few people from back home here. Like we usually do. But the drive home never gets any easier. It is a long drive at the end of a long day. Gary drove all the way and I think I even slept a little. Oh ya, I'm a grandma. Well grandma to a puppy anyways. Jacquie and Ryan bought a mini pincher and they have named him Max. He is really cute.

Visit to Jacquie and Ryan's

On July 12th I flew down to visit with Jacquie and Ryan. It was a wonderful trip. We laid by the pool and did alot of shopping. We also visited Independence and Liberty Jail. It was alot of fun. The weather was great. Most days it was in the 90's. I saw the best thunderstorm while I was there. The lightening was spectacular. Jacquie and Ryan spoiled me and it was great to spend alot of one on one with Jacquie. Everyone back home did fine without me. We are heading back down to see them at the end of August. We are taking Vanessa down so she can ride with Jacquie back to school.

June 23, 2007

Today our son-in-law is having a birthday. Because they live in Kansas City we are not able to be with him. But we sure hope Ryan and Jacquie are having a great time celebrating his birthday. Today we spent the day cleaning the car. The whole family helped out. It was a lot of fun. Josh did the inside of the car (with some help from the rest of us) and then Vanessa, Gary and myself (with a little help from Josh) cleaned the outside. It was a beautiful day to be outside. I love the summer weather. Well I just thought I would share our team building experience with everyone.
