Once upon a time

As you can see, I once was young and cute and now I am just plain old.
But life is still fun and I'm glad to still be around.
Thanks for all the birthday gifts, cards, and wishes.

My First Gift

Here he is! My first mother's day gift. Jim was born on Mother's day many, many, many years ago. Happy Birthday Jim! What does one get for the guy who has everything? Why cheese, of course.

Love you, Mom and Dad

Friday Activities

After a long day at the park this old pioneer was saved from certain starvation
by a yummy lunch at the In and Out.




Friday morning Grandpa and his friends gave "tours" to the 2nd graders and taught them about the different wagons and means of transportation used in the early days.
Some of the young people had no idea that this was a stagecoach. Doesn't anyone watch westerns anymore? Some suggested that this might be a fire engine and one even thought it was a princess carriage.

Sons of the Utah Pioneers

This weekend we got to ride in the Washington Cotton Days parade with some of our friends from the Son of the Utah Pioneers.

Couldn't let this day go by -

Uncle Bill has celebrated many many birthdays - but we couldn't let this day go by without remembering him. Wasn't he a cute little guy?

Happy Birthday Bill - we love you!

Max

Grandkids don't come more loving, cheerful, full of fun and inquisitive than Max.
Have a happy day Max, we love you and hope you have a birthday full of fun.

Miss Ally

Happy Birthday to Little Miss Ally! We love you!

Family Names

Today, thanks to lots of help from lots of people, we completed the work for 87 of our family. Take a minute to think about all that that includes. I thank you all for your willingness to help.

Happy Easter!

Kade's Big Day

Guess who is celebrating today! It's our amazing grandson Kade!
I will have to guess that he is turning 6.
Have a Happy Birthday Kade. We love you!

Fun with the Cherry Family

It has been fun to have Jana Phil, Mattie, Katie, and Ally in St. George for a visit. We're making sure they get a healthy dose of sun and sand! They especially liked hiking in the desert by Grandma and Grandpa Cherry's house. Katie and Grandpa Lee made sand castles while Mattie and his dad explored some neat lava caves. We saw quail, rabbits, roadrunners and ANTS! Katie does not like ants very much.



It was super-fun when Kade, Zach and Sammy came to visit. We went on walks to the town square and floated sticks down the gutters. Katie liked playing with the Fisher Price Barn animals.
