Making Grandma Ila Smile

We had a sad but sweet time in Bakersfield saying

our last goodbyes to Grandma Ila.

Amidst the sadness of our loss,

our grandchildren decided to cheer us up a little............

I'm sure that Grandma Ila was smiling too. Watching

her grandchildren was one of her favorite things to do.

Spring Break 2008 at Kanab

We had a great time at Kanab. Lance and Julie Jackson finished their new home and invited us all down to visit. Brad and Lynn Christofferson, Tony and Becky Harris and their families and Dad, Kati, Sarah and I all made the trip. We all took 4-wheelers and the Jackson's took us out on the desert to see some historical and magnificent sights! We had 12 wheelers in all, so there was a lot of dust and a lot of fun. [You should have seen Kati and Dad buzzing around on the little ones!] We visited such places as the Springdale "Mail Drop", a Zion's overlook, the "Inchworm Arch",an Anazai village-complete with pottery and arrowhead chips, [of which we did not pick up!], ancient Indian writing and petrified dinosaur tracks. Lance has decided to start up a new business called Anazai ATV Adventures. We were his "test" subjects. [We may even appear on his website with testimonials] It was a lot of fun!

Easter Fun

Can't get much cuter than this!

Happy Birthday Becki

Born March 8th at 3:54 a.m., she has been a bundle of joy and goodness ever since! A loyal friend, a concerned daughter, fun and happy person, faithful and true......

You are a wonderful part of our family!

She Made It!

Sarah went this morning to the High School and tried out for the "Ballroom Company" and she made it! Yeh! We are so proud of her. She was very nervous and spent a lot of time practicing and it was well worth it, cause she made it. Out of about 100 applicants, she made the team. She will be the only sophmore on the team and is a little nervous about that........ Good Job Sarah!

Well, I've finally done it!

I guess you can teach an old dog [or mom as the case may be] new tricks. We will have more info coming. But don't hold your breath or we'll be having a lot of blue-faced family members. :-) More later!
