A Saturday at Granny's

Can you see the apprehensiveness in their faces? They're not sure what they're about to really get into.


This is Ben and he's the one that has the horses that lives next to my mom's house. He had put down some new red dirt in the horses corrals and they all had fun rolling in it. Now this white and brown horse is now a red and brown horse. Ben wanted to see if the boys wanted to give "kisses" the horse a bath. They thought that would be fun.



So Granny got out the soap and they went to work on giving Kisses a bath. The boys stood back as far as they could at first, but over time they eventually relaxed enough to step closer to the horse.


Then they finally got brave enough to rub the horse down all by themselves. Just imagine if it had been one of the full size horses. Ha Ha.

All in all it was a fun Saturday at Granny's. We colored easter eggs, roasted marshallows (of course) and had lots and lots of fun.

Photo's anyone?

I have to take some photos for my photography class that I'm taking, so let me know what you think of these. I have learned so much about how to really use my camera to it's best potential. I am really glad that I took the class. It's 2 days a week which is the only down side to it...he he....I wish it was 3 or 4 days a week. I just want to learn more and more every time I go to class. I have had such a blast. I don't want it to end. Anyway, we have an end of the semester project due of 8 photos. So let me know what you all think of these. I'm sure there'll be more to come.

What a special day

Today was a very special day for our family. Kyle graduated from Primary and was able to receive the Priesthood and become a Deacon. He was so proud, he just smiled the entire day. He is growing up so fast. I just can't believe how my "little" boy is growing up into such a wonderful young man. We're very proud of you Kyle.

Happy Birthday Kyle

12 years ago today this sweet little boy entered our lives and changed it forever. Kyle is such a wonderful son and we are blessed to have him in our family. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming. He will receive the priesthood this next Sunday and I can't believe that I have a child old enough to do that. It's been fun to see the change in Kyle over the last couple of years.














Two years ago Kyle, Nathan and Kayla went to spend the night at Granny's house in Globe/Miami. It was March 10th when they went up and spent the night. Robert and I came up on the 11th to celebrate Kyle's Birthday with Granny at her house and then bring the kids home. We arrived in the morning and it was cold. The weather was a bit rainy, however by lunch time it turned to snow. Kyle was so excited to have snow at Granny's house on his birthday. He thought that was the best present ever. It actually ended up snowing about 6 inches and closing down all the highways out of Globe so we couldn't return home. We were snowed in at Granny's on Kyle's Birthday. I think that will be the one birthday that he will always remember. It was very special for him.

Happy Birthday Kyle. We all love you so much.

This means war !

Kyle had his 12th Birthday Party today. His actual birthday is on the 11th but we decided to have his party today with his friends. We built marshmallow guns and had a marshmallow war at the park. The boys had a lot of fun running and chasing each other. They all had this white marshmallow dust covering their mouths. The marshmallows were really covered in this dust so when they blew on the marshmallow guns this white powder came out the end with the marshmallow and then some back on thier faces. They all looked really cute with their white mouths.



I think you can barely see the white stuff on Nathan's face. It was much better in person.

Oh Dear, we lost another one

I cannot for the life of me remember the boys ever loosing so many teeth all at once. This is Kayla's third tooth to come out. This time she lost it at the Blue & Gold Banquet dinner for Cub Scouts. I knew it was really, really loose and that she was wiggling and wiggling it, but I was surprised when she turned around in the middle of the awards and looked at me with blood running down her mouth. I hate loose teeth, they just gross me out. Robert was busy conducting the awards so I had to get my good friend Trudy to come pull the tooth out. YUCK. That is not my thing. Congrats Kayla on another trip from the tooth fairy. You're on a roll. You've got to give the teeth time to come in though before you loose any more.

Tough week

A tough week or maybe actually two and a half weeks. I'm tired of being sick and still trying to function at warp speed like nothing's wrong. Today was my grinding to a hault day. Last Tuesday I finally gave up and went to the doctor for a sore throat and chest congestion. He gave me some antibiotics and I started them on Tuesday. Then on Friday I went with Nathan's 3rd grade class to the science center downtown and had a group of 4 kids with me. Half way through it one of the girls in my group passes out on the floor and after I get her up then she proceeds to vomit right there in the lobby. Everyone staring at me but no one offering to get any help. I finally had to ask someone to please find someone who works there to help us and someone else to find the teacher. It's a 4 story building so it took a while to find the teacher. Got that situation under controll but at the same time I was developing a rather painful sore in my mouth. Thought it was a canker sore but in a weird spot that's almost at the back of my throat. Delt with the pain from friday until today and now I've broken out in HIVES. Yes HIVES. They're so wonderful. So I've got a call in to my Dr's Office to see what the next plan of action will be. I took a Benadryl for the Hives so I expect to pass out any minute now. I'm a real softee when it comes to Benadryl. However, I've got to pull it together as I have my photography class this afternoon and have an assignment due. What else.......oh yeah, Today is Robert's Birthday and I have Ward Council this evening with the Stake Presidency because it's Ward Conference next Sunday. I don't think that's going to happen tonight. I think I will just stay at home with my wonderful Husband and celebrate his birthday with him. That's if he can stand my scratching.
