Utah and Sophie's Birthday

I got to go and visit Heather and her family during Spring Break. I had a lot of fun but the time went by to quick. I arrived on the 16th and stayed until Easter Sunday. Sophie's birthday was on Monday the 17th which was also St. Patrick's Day. Last year when I was there we were at a park and it was pretty warm outside. This year it was cold and it snowed. Heather wrote on her blog that we took Sophie and the younger ones to Pei Wei for lunch. Before that we went to Toy's R Us and Sophie picked out a kitchen for her birthday. I got her a pretty brown sweater that I bought in AZ and then I let her pick out some food things for her new kitchen. When Heath got home we went to an indoor swimming pool. It was to cold for me but I still got in. Ethan is still swimming from last summer. After that we went home to eat Sophie's birthday cake.
We took Tyson and Ethan to see "Horton Sees A Who." Cute movie for you to take your kids too. They didn't get to do as much with me because they were in school through Wednesday. Saturday night we went out to eat at Outback and then we went to Temple Square. It was beautiful, of course. We watched a movie on families and walked around. We then went to eat dessert at an ice cream place. Huge servings but yummy! I'm glad I ordered a child's sunday. On Easter morning before I left to go home we cooked a yummy breakfast and then hid their easter eggs and played with the bubble blowers I got them. I always enjoy my visits with my grandkids. The only problem is they all want my to cuddle with them at night and that can take a long time. So this trip they were assigned a night. That way I can spend some quality time visiting with them. They also like my stories. Probably because I act them out and make them up. (In other words I make a fool out of myself!) The hard part is when I visit another time and they want the same story that I made up. It's hard to remember, but I try. This year it wa s Cowboy Billy!!! After I got home we went over to Ronnie and Aleia's for Easter dinner. It was fun. Jaylee and Faith and ther cousin Chance found tons of Easter eggs. They had a blast. Faith had a hard time when I was going to leave. She had told me on the phone when I called that she had been crying for me. What can I say, they love me!

Puppy Love?

I had to post this...the other day Jaylee was at our house when I was checking out blogs. I checked Heather's friend EmmaLee's and from there I decided to check out her sisters. Amy had a cute video of her little boy that is 8 months old. He was just laughing and laughing and it was so cute. I showed Jaylee....oh my goodness! Every time it quit she said, "Baby, baby...(and then she would start to cry. I played it again and she smiled and was happy...until his laughing stopped. So I played it again and again and again. I had to start dinner so I put my computer up. Jaylee was not a happy baby. She just sobbed for the "Baby, baby, I wa (want) see baby!!" I finally had Ron play it while I fixed dinner. It was really funny how she took to him (Landon). I would say, You want to give the baby a love?" She would put her head on the computer and then try to kiss him. The next day she was over and you guessed it, "Baby, baby..I wa see baby! I think she is madly in love with this little guy. I called Landon's Grandma and told her about it. We were laughing so much. I saw his mom today and she wax cracking up too. Anyway, it was funny and it made us all laugh.

Heading to Utah Tomorrow Morning

I leave to Utah at 7:00 A.M. in the morning to go and see Heather and her family for Spring Break. I can't wait to see all of them. I won't be home until Easter Sunday in the afternoon. If any of you can go and see Mommo when I'm gone I know she would appreciate it. She gets very lonely. I'm hoping to get a good nights sleep since I didn't fall asleep last night until 4:00 A.M.. I am going to have to get up probably at 4:30. Last time I went I almost missed my flight and had to run from one end of the airport to the other. I'm hoping to get there so I can walk to the gate. I hope you all have a great week and I'll try to post while I'm at Heather's.

Ron's 57th Birthday

Ron didn't get home until late tonight. We had fixed him dinner and cheesecake and sang to him (and Faith again since he missed hers). I'll post pictures tomorrow. I can't seem to get them to come up right now. We'll probably do something with his mom tomorrow for dinner since he got home so late tonight. I can't believe he is 57!!! Time is really going by fast. Enjoy each moment, you'll be there before you know it!!!! Really!!!!

Faith's 5th Birthday

I can't believe it's Faith's 5th birthday. I remember being up all night waiting for her to be born. It was so exciting to see her for the first time. We've had like a three day birthday bash! Friday, the 7th, (her actual birthday) they came over and I went to the movie with Faith and her family. We saw Enchanted. Cute movie but the theater....yuck! Saturday Faith had a birthday at the Bounce place where they have all of these inflatable things to climb on and play in. It was really fun. Even the adults could go on them. All the kids (and I might say...the adults too) had a blast! We had cake and ice cream there too. After that, Faith came over and spent the night with me. We went home and she played on her new scooter and rolling skates. Then we played games and watched TV. I also watched Jaylee so Ronnie and Aleia could go out to a movie. They were really good. Sunday, Faith went to church with me. I stayed in Sharing Time with her but she ended up going to Young Women's with me. Part of the lesson was on fun family activities and one of the girls talked about going varmint calling with her dad and brother's. Well, what do you know, Faith shown them her Elk call. She really sounds like one too. They couldn't believe how good she was. After church we got online because she got this cute little dog for her birthday and you can go to a sight to do things. Then, Ronnie and Aleia came over and we fixed noodles with chicken and mashed potatoes and cherry cheese cake. Ron had been in California all weekend selling and buying parts so we fixed him dinner and cheesecake. Needless, to say, we had a great weekend and Grandma is tired! But it was all worth it. I wished Christopher and Heather's family could of been with us for all the fun. I missed them. Here's a few pictures.... (Well, maybe tomorrow. I couldn't get them to come up and I'm to tired to wait so toodle-lou for now!!!)

Bria's Baptism

Yesterday I went to my Great nieces baptism, Bria Fletcher. She is such a cutie! We hung out at the beach the past couple of years and had fun. I'm so happy that she wanted to get baptized. Her dad, Bobby, baptized her. All of her Uncles, Aunts, cousins and Grandparents were there. We all went to her house for a yummy barbecue afterwards. I love to see these little children get baptized and accept the Gospel in their lives. They are so lucky to have it. I can't wait until Ethan's baptism in July. I can't believe he will soon be eight years old.

Hockey Game

Last Friday we went to the Coyote Hockey game in Glendale. The school had given me some free tickets. We have never been to one so we thought it would be fun. Ronnie and Aleia and their friends went with us. It was fun. We went to Oragno's afterwards for dinner. I got one of my Young Women to babysit Faith and Jaylee at our house. Faith had a lot of fun. We posed for a few pictures before we left.
