What a cutie....

Here's a photo of Scott and Jane's little Talia. Obviously it was taken at Christmas time. Gee, I need some updated photos! She is over eight pounds now and doing very well.

Coming Soon...

Watch for photos of our new little granddaughter Talia (Scott and Jane's). I'm out of town now and don't have her photos in my camera so I can't post them right now. She is doing well and probably weighs a little over seven pounds now.

Catching Up....

Well, it has been a long time since I have blogged. My how time flies when you're having fun!!! In October, Hunter stayed with us for awhile while Tamra and Barry were out of town for a couple of weeks. Then the day after Christmas I flew out to Kansas to spend a couple weeks with Cindy and kids while Chase was deployed. Of course it was an added bonus to have Kristin and family only about a five minute drive from Cindy. It was fun to be able to spend some time with all of them! (Okay, these pictures are a little mixed up but if I take the time to get them all in order, this post may not happen... I'll do better next time! The first three are Hunter, then Lincoln, then Isabel and Ansel (Kristin's). The next three... Maren, Cade and Cael (Cindy's) then Isabel, Ansel, and Lincoln.)

Up, Up, and Away...

It was really fun to be able to go to the balloon races this year. In the past, we have just watched them from our house. This year we decided to go see them up close. It was amazing!!! Now we are hooked and will have go every year.

Summer's Gone....

Wow, can't believe how fast the summer has gone by. Since I have not posted on the blog for such a long time, you can obviously tell that it has been a busy summer! It has been a good summer though. Cindy, Cade, Cael, and Maren, and Tamra and Hunter stayed with us part of the time this summer. It was so fun to have them here! After they all left we drove to Kansas to check out the girls' new homes. Kristin and Cindy live about five minutes away from each other. Also we stopped at Tamra's in Park City on the way. Reed had not seen their new home yet. I had to laugh and told Reed, okay.... after having kids here for a couple months.... where are we going? To see kids! What can we say.... we love our kids and grandkids and that's what's really important to us. We actually hadn't seen Kristin and family for quite some time. Anyway we had a good trip and it was nice to see the girls situated in their homes. On Oct. 3rd, we fly to Texas to see Scott and family. As always, we love having Lisa and Brian close, so that makes it nice to be able to see them often.

There Goes Another Rabbit.... or The Curse of the Were-Rabbit!

Well, we finally bought a trap for catching rabbits.  They are pretty cute but they can sure ruin the lawn!  They really made a mess of the front yard last year.  We have them locked out of the backyard but the front is a whole different story.  They like to come at night and munch on the tender grass.  This last week I have caught three rabbits!  After we catch them, we take them to the hills not far from our house and let them go.  

On the Road Again...

On March 14th, I made a trip to Utah to help take care of Hunter while Tamra made a business trip to New York.  Since I was there, Barry was able to keep working on the remodel job at their new house.  It was fun to go to Park City and check out the progress he has made.  Can I just say.... Barry is doing an amazing job!!!  Check it out on Tamra's link.  It is going to be wonderful!  It was fun to be around Hunter.  He is sure growing up and is quite the little helper.
