SUMMER FUN in OREGON

Heston and Brandi had their new baby girl Adilyn right before we went to Oregon.
So unfortunately they weren't able to go with us to Oregon. She is a tiny one, but so cute.
We're glad she made it here okay.

Autumn and Family weren't able to go with us to Oregon either with losing their baby Kade,
Autumn's eye problem after losing the baby, Kiersten's accident, and Ben's work.
We'll miss you Kade and look forward to being with you in Heaven.
We are glad Kiersten lived through her 4 wheeling accident and having to be life flighted to Primary Children's Hospital with 2 broken arms, a bruised lung, and stitches in her face.

We had a hard time getting to Oregon. We spent a lot of time at airports trying to get out. The first day we made it to Salt Lake, but we couldn't get to Oregon so we spent the night in Liberty after swimming at Darlene's house for the annual 24th of July party.

Daniel stayed home in St. George to go to a Leadership Training. We missed you Daniel.

The next day we flew to San Francisco to try to get to Oregon since we couldn't get there from Salt Lake. We had a 9 hour lay over so we went and toured around San Francisco.
It was fun riding the Cable Cars and going to Fisherman's Wharf.

We finally made it to Oregon and got to the condo at about 3:30 or 4:oo in the morning missing our first night's stay and most of the 2nd night.
What a long day, but we were glad to be there.

My good friend Karen, me, and her mom.
Karen booked the condos for us through her timeshare.

Kallee & Chad got a new little foster girl named Hannah right before they left for Oregon
What a cutie!! They need a little girl in their family.

We went to a glass blowing factory.

Great props for pictures with cannons and pirates
Hope you can't shoot that Derrik

Don't look now but there is a Walrus behind you.

I think the pirate got the girls
or maybe it was the other way around

We went crabbing. This is the first crab we caught.
He was too tiny we had to throw him back.
We did get some to take back to the condo and eat.
They were delicious!!

This is the dock we stood on to go crabbing.
It was really fun and exciting to see what you would get when you pull up the crab net.
Sometimes you got crab and starfish.

We went to a museum where you could touch the starfish and sea creatures.
Great Fun for Everyone!!

THANKS OREGON WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

We have had a busy, but fun Summer. Monty is back at work teaching 4th grade this year.
I went to BYU Education Week this past week. It was awesome!!
Rick did a great job teaching classes there. Also my friend Karen taught gardening classes which were great!
I guess it is back to work for me tomorrow.

Where are we going next year?????

!!! EASTER FUN !!!

Each year they ask me to come to the Community Easter Party in my Easter Bunny Costume. It is great fun for me. I love to dress up in costumes as most of you know, so this is right up my alley. I look for a reason to dress up and make people laugh.

Easter Bunny with Kallee's Boys

Easter Bunny with Monica's Kids

Grandkids with the Easter Bunny

Maycie had a hard time and was afraid of the Bunny.

I kept telling her it was just Grandma dressed up.
I would lift up my costume head so she could see it was really me inside.

She eventually tolerated me but was still leary.

Jay loves to pull my tail.

We also went to the Arts Festival over the weekend. The grandkids decorated paper hats there.

By the time we got there most of the things to decorate the hats were gone, but the grandkids still had fun making them and wearing them.

Getting ready to dye Easter Eggs

Easter Morning with the Grandkids

Jay and Moises loved the red rocks of St. George by Dixie Rock.

WE HAD A GREAT EASTER WEEKEND!!

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART WAS REMEMBERING THAT OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST LIVES!!!

Hope all of you had a great Easter too.
