The Grass is Growing




Barry & family have planted about an acre of new lawn out at Ann & Bruce's home here in Hurricane. Here is a picture taken this evening to show you how it is growing. Also pictures of the patio and yard.

Ann's New Baby Birds




Ann has two baby birds in the nest on her front porch of her Hurricane Home.


We decided to take a picture before they flew away, and we wanted to see what kind they were. So we got the ladder out of the garage, climbed up to the nest, (which is on top of her front porch light) and was really sad to find that one of the fledgelings had died when it was only a few days old. the other one is big and healthy, will probably fly away within the next week. SOOOOO here is a picture of Ann's baby bird. It is a baby fan tailed pidgeon.

It has been so very long since I updated this blog. I really enjoy reading other family blogs yet I have been too laid back about my own.I guess it is time I let a little bit of me out for the rest of you to read about.
I have been spending my time making a very special Temple Quilt for a very special son's birthday that is coming up on Friday Feb. 20th. It is now all done and I have taken it to my friend so she can do the binding on it for me. I really hope he likes it, it really is an odd present for a man. I am doing one of these for each of my children and still have a few more to go.
I also spent a week in Kiowa at Ann & Bruce's home. I really enjoyed it, it ws fun to take the roads less traveled, go to the Mexican place for a neice Birthday dinner, go shopping and even the best part of going flying with Ann in her airplane. It was a bit windy so we went back to the airport but we did get to fly around the valley and over the Sleepy Turtle Ranch. Then that Sunday there was a light plane crash that took the life of a 53 year old Father. I crashed about 5-10 miles from Ann's place and I know it was unsettling for Ann, I hope she feels better about it by now. we also watched the Super Bowl on sunday and ate ourselfs into oblivian. The Pita's and the dip were very good, so was the soup, the fruit and all the other goodies.
So now I am back home and it has been either raining or snowing almost every day since I came home. Bernell & I braved the weather, bundled up and went for a long walk in the windy cold night air. It was refreshing and I was glad to get home where it was warm.
Valentines Day came and went and it is not all it is hyped up to be. when I love someone I love them all the time not just one day per year in February. With that said I love you all dearly, I will try to keep up more often on this blog.

Grandparent's Day


We had the good fortune to be invited by Alec to come up to Salem, to his school for grandparents day.
I was alot of fun for us and his classes put on a really nice program. Then they had a slide show that showed each child with thier grandparents, some children had both sets of grandparents so they had two pictures. Alec had both sets of grandparents and his parents there also. What a fun day, then we all went to dinner and ate till we were ready to burst.
Thanks Alec!!!

Autum at Tim & Christine's





























Dad & I went up to Tim's over conference weekend, what a treat!!! We really enjoyed the time with their family. Shortly after we got there Tim & Christine suggested that we go for a ride to see the fall colors, well it had been raining on us the whole trip up there, (soft rain) so we wondered if we could get in the mountains. Tim said we could so we all left to go up Payson Canyon and across the Skyline drive, it was awesome the colors were vibrant from the rain and were in full gorgeous dress. I will post some pictures for you.
