Happy 30 year Wedding Anniversary!

Today we celebrated 30 wonderful years together. It seems like just yesterday we were beginning this journey by being sealed in the St. George Temple. We have had our ups and downs but through it all we have been there for each other and our families. We look forward to many more wonderful years together no matter what they may bring. At this juncture in our lives we have been blessed with wonderful family that continues to grow. Our five grand kids keep us young at heart. Our lives are full.

Goodbye old Friend

For several months we have debated about what to do with Bear. She is 171/2 years old and has been with our family since she was 8 weeks old.

Over the last year she has lost her sight and hearing,she had a large tumor behind her right arm, and many other issues. We could see she was suffering, today we finally decided to end her suffering. My niece Melissa was her groomer, so she went with me to the Vets. Bear left this life peacefully and is now in Heaven running and playing! Our family will miss her!

Mom& Dad's 62nd Wedding Anniversary!

My parents had their 62 wedding anniversary on the 30th. We celebrated by bring dinner to them and sitting around visiting. It was great to get together as a family, we missed the one who could not be there. What a great couple they are, and what a great example they are to us.

Easter Clothes

My beautiful grand babies in their Easter Clothes!

Flowers

I was so lucky Josh and Lisa sent me roses last week, for helping with the girls. Lisa came over a few days after I received them and it was the wrong vase! She called the company and I got another bouquet this week. Thanks Josh & Lisa They are beautiful!

Rod Works

Lolly & Brad opened Rod Works today! It is in the Wal- mart shopping center off 215 and Cheyenne. Great home decor store!

Spring Break

I have been helping with the girls while Lisa has been down. We have been to Chucke Cheese, McDonalds, Movies, park, planting flowers. I love spending time with my grandbabies!

Lisa's Surgery

Lisa Walker McIntyre had knee surgery two weeks ago today! It is going to be a long recovery. Today was her first day out, I took her to the opening of Rod

Works! Great way to spend an hour.

They had to shave Lisa's shin bone, then move her knee over and put it in place, then they put screws in it! Does the phrase "We can rebuild you" come to mind!

Spring Break

We started Spring Break with Lisa having knee surgery! ( They shaved her shin bone and put her knee cap back in place then put screws in it PAINFUL). She will be down for awhile, I have had the girls, while Josh and Cindy( Lisa's mother) are taking care of her. We went to see the Easter Bunny Lily started to cry when we got close, so Grace got her picture with him. We went to the hospital to visit, then today all the kids came over and we colored Easter Eggs! Lot of Fun!

My Aunt Thelma Abbott Lived A Great Life!

These are pictures from my Aunt Thelma's 94th birthday party last year.

The top picture is with Thelma and her daughter Cindy who she has taken care of until last Tuesday when she passed way in her sleep.

Thelma out lived 2 husbands raised 9 children she had 161 great grand children and 18 great great grand children.

She had a wonderful life, with several trials.

I always loved to go visit Aunt Thelma & Cindy! She was a fabulous cook and she made my first pant suit when I was in 6th grade and the school district finally allowed girls wear pants! This was HUGE! I was so proud of my polyester pant suit.

Thelma loved to garden and was good at it!

She served in the Las Vegas Temple for several years she retired when she was 92!

When I got the call on Tuesday morning about her passing away, I came to my computer and pulled out my pictures of her birthday and her testimony she wrote for me 5 years ago!

She was devoted to her Heavenly Father & family!

I am so blessed to have great example of strong women in my life. And they all are devoted to their church and their family! Both of these things have gotten them thru the hard times in life, and it is their example that I look to when I am going thru trails.

In the bottom picture is mom in the purple her sister Mable Mitchell who is 93 and my Uncle Dick is 87.

Emily's Came Home For Spring Break!!

Emily was so happy to see the family! We had lots of fun while she was home! We hated to see her go back to Utah! The babies love their Auntie Em!
