Kora & Storie~

Miss Storie~ Kora wouldn't let me get her picture that day~

Nasty Weather!

Myrle & Jeremy are home from their Idaho trip~ This is a pic of what they ran into~The roads were really bad~

When they got into Colorado, Thurs night, our heater wasn't working! Fortunately I have space heaters, and electric blankets. So, they weren't too cold that night. When they got back to Colorado, Sat. the heater man was supposed to have been there and fixed it, but as it turned out, he didn't get there to fix, until today~

Meanwhile, the people who were buying Misha's house backed out! She was major depressed all day Friday! I'm still mad about it. Their bishop up there was their relator, and I still think he knew what was going on, and didn't bother telling them!! So, now the house is on the market again! Hopefully it will sell soon!

Mallorie & Kolby

It's been great having these two around. You hardly know they are here~ They help do chores without having to ask twice~I get lots of hugs (especially from Kolby)~I guess it's just nice for an old grandma to have something to look forward to~

Christtina is expecting a new little one in Sept. So we are all excited for this event. She is planning a home birth! Which of course pleases me~ Phillip isn't entirely convinced yet! She is still working on him~

Myrle & Jeremy will go to Idaho Falls this weekend to pick up the rest of their stuff! It'll probably snow a ton! The weather has been so dry, and mild this winter so far, but since they're heading up there, it'll be their luck!

Our Kevin is in town for a quick trip~ Haven't got to see him yet! Wish he could have brought the rest of his family too~

Well, as you can see, I'm struggling to post anything of importance! So, I'll end this!

Mars Needs Moms~

Last night Christtina & the boys came over, and we watched the movie "Mars Needs Moms". It was so cute, definitely a "boy" movie! Trevor snuggled up next to me on the couch, and didn't move, or really even talk~He really enjoyed the story, about a little boy, who didn't think he wanted a mom, until the aliens from Mars took her away~Very cute movie. I think it may be on his birthday list~
Yesterday was Kolby & Mallorie's first day of school here in AZ~ I think they did better than I did~ I just hate school~~ One reason I home schooled~ I think their innocence is just taken away. Kolby came home telling that several little boys had their ears pierced!! White trash is all I can say!! Who would do that to a little 3rd grader? Mallorie has a man teacher. Unusual for elementary~ But she likes him so far! They had wonderful school teachers in Idaho Falls, so this is going to be very different for them. Kolby had a teacher who played church music softly as a background~ Her class was amazing, and he learned so much that year~
It's hard being a grandma, and having no say so with grand kids!! ha!!

Mallorie getting her first pedicure~

Mallorie found out that Emmie had a pedicure, so she had to have one too!

Happy Birthday Anabeth!

Today is Anabeth's 4th birthday~ I can't believe 4 years have passed since she was born. I remember how pleased we all were when she was born. Kevin cried--we all cried! I loved seeing my oldest son become a daddy~ and of course seeing Anabeth in the arms of her mommy! Wish we could see more of them~ It's so hard having grand kids so far away~!

Disney World/Downtown Disney

She was so pleased at the end results~ It was so fun to get to be there with her, and see this!!

Bippity Boopity Boo~ Anabeth getting all gorgeous!

I couldn't believe she sat so still during this whole makeup process~

Shrek on ice~

Derik & his parents, Gail & Bruce!

On Christmas Eve we went to the Shrek Ice at the Gaylord Palms. It was 9 degrees--and cold!! They provided everyone with these lovely coats, which were very warm. It was amazing all the things they carved out of ice blocks!! After seeing all the ice carvings we had a wonderful dinner at one of the restaurants in Gaylord Palms--we also saw gators & fish inside this huge place!!
