Visit with Chad and Danette in Vegas

We drove to Vegas to meet Chad and Danette who flew in on Thurs. for a little get away with out children (which I was sad not to see) but it was good seeing them. It was fun spending time with them. They stayed at the Vadra which is in the City Center. We first went and had lunch at a little pizza place on the way to Ethel M Chocolate Factory. Lunch was good and we got to the Factory it was open but because of being Sat. no production was happening. But the best part was tasting the chocolate. They also had a garden of Cactus' outside the Factory (didn't get pic) all different kinds and they where just starting to bloom.
The 3 pic below are of the Atrium in the Belligio it smelled really good. The snail is made of roses and the ladybug of carnations.

The train above is made of fondant.

Ron patiently awaiting his crepeDanette is in heaven with this giant Chocolate fountain.

This is the new bridge at Hoover Damn, not quite finished with it yet but it is pretty big.

This was us at the cute little pizza place that had sandwiches and pasta as well, it was very good food.

When I walked into Danette and Chad's room this is the first thing I spotted, well actually I seen it before we went to their room but had a clear picture out their window. I would really like to go see the Donny and Marie show sometime.

All in all we had a great time and can't wait to see the other two members of their family, hopefully this fall sometime.

Trip to Salt Lake City and A Happy Birthday to Ron

I love this picture of Ellie and her Grandpa. She LOVES her Grandpa. This serves as a HAPPY BIRTHDAY picture for Ron we celebrated baptism and birthdays while we were in SLC. Just like to wish him a Happy Birthday and let him know of my love for him. He is a very hard working person, he has always worked hard for his family. I feel very grateful to have him as my eternal companion. (hope he can put up with me that long (: ). He is always positive through rough times and it helps me to try and be more that way. I have learned alot from him and thank him for that. Your family loves you and I love you!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!Here is the Baptism of our sweet little Emma, I cannot believe my second grandchild is 8 WOW!!!!!!! We love her, she has the sweetest little personality. She is a beautiful little girl. We love you Emma.

While in SLC, the girls had an ice show. I was very excited to watch them ice skate, they all did a great job and it was fun being there with family watching them. GREAT JOB GIRLS.

Last thing we did was to go visit Dad. The headstone will be in place in June so we will make another trip up there at that time, mom has picked out a great headstone for the two of them.
I love you Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another fun trip up North although I did miss our warm weather here in St. George. It was a little chilly up there. I know I know my blood is as thin as water now. But that is what living here in Sunny St. George does for you. But I love the family there so I put up with their weather cuz I love to see them. :)

Some of my Spring Flowers

Just thought I would share my spring flowers with everyone. I mainly took a picture of them because we are suppose to get some windy days the next couple of days. This always happens, the flowers will come out then we get our lovely Leeds wind and it blows them to pieces. My roses have so many buds on them I hope it won't blow to hard, so I can enjoy them while they are out in full bloom. The other one is the tree in the front yard and the last one right in the middle is called a bleeding heart, they are in my planter box. I hope you enjoy them I have so far.
NO WIND PLEASE is that asking to much living in Leeds?

Two Cheezers

Raylie came to play with grandma the other day and she wanted to get on the spider web (hammock) so we were laying there swinging alittle, and all of a sudden she said "what is that" I said it was just a rain drop and immediatly she wanted off and to go into the house. She does not like water of any sort on her face so we went inside to play. I hope Brittany got a little bit of a break.

Crazy Cat!!!!!

So I was on the couch today settling in for a nice nap after church. It is always very quiet after church (well everyday)I had turned on some nice music and was ready for a nice nap. Garfield decides to join me he jumped on the arm of the couch and crawled up on my shoulder and nuzzled his head against my cheek, my phone was right there so I though I would get a pic. well then he........... decided he would give me a little kiss before retiring for his nap. Then.......

He thought he might get more comfy and move to the other side and that is where he finally settled. It was kinda fun just letting him decide where he wanted to be and I took a few pic along the way, but.....there was no way I was going to get any sleep with him on my face. So I had to move him he was a little put out by the fact that I would not allow him to sleep where he wanted, but he then curled up next to me on the couch and we both got a nice little nap, coarse he is still sleeping but for me I needed to get up and fix dinner.

What do you think?

Danette sent me this picture of her with new hair color (love it) but when I looked at it on my phone it reminded me of this picture of me. Maybe it's all in my head but I think there are some similarities here. Yes my face is rounder and different hairdo but there was something that clicked my brain to this picture of me. The eyes, the smile something. What do you all think?

Happy Easter

We started off this Saturday morning with the annual Easter Egg hunt down at the Leeds Town Park. Logan and Raylie hunted for Easter eggs. They had a good time. They had craft tables set up but they wanted to play on the slides and swings instead of doing crafts. They also had the Easter Bunny come. A mite frightful if you ask me. Josh asked Raylie who is that she said the Easter Bunny Josh-Do you want to go see him Raylie-NO!!!!!! She might have had the same thought that I had. After eating lunch between conference sessions the kids colored their Easter eggs. Yes even the two big kids colored eggs. Then we had a little Easter egg hunt here for them.
So this next picture is hilarious, I have some cute little Easter Bunny stamps and Raylie was doing a fine job coloring her eggs and decided that she wanted to use the stamp, so she proceeded to stamp her egg but it was just alittle to hard. She had the funniest look on her face thinking that she would be in trouble or something. Great stampin job Raylie!!!!!!!
