IT'S SPRING....

Well it's hard to believe spring is here again, but all the signs are here. My yard is getting green and the roses are blooming...

This is my last week at work..I'M RETIRING. I have mixed emotions over it. Part of me is a little sad to be leaving a job I've had for 20 years, but I'm anxious for some change in my life. They're having a little farewell party Thursday at the office. My boss asked me if I wanted a rocking chair or luggage. I told him luggage would be great since I don't plan to sit around rocking...

Yesterday was a fun day. I went to Katana's basketball game. She's good...but she's good at everything she does. Then last night I went to Paul's Scout Court of Honor. He conducted the meeting and it was fun seeing him get his advancement and patches. Have I said lately I have the most beautiful grandchildren in the world...

It's been a busy week. Last weekend I went to Amazing Jakes for Jayden's birthday party. He is such a cute kid and everyone loves him. He was cute with all his friends and cousins.

Christmas Cookies...

Well, Christmas is fast approaching and I'm not ready as usual. I did, however, get my little ones together Sunday evening to decorate cookies. They are all getting so big and it won't be long before they will refuse to do such silly things with Grandma. I was lucky to get Paul to do one cookie.

Trip to Washington...

I spent last week in Washington visiting Brian, Jennifer and kids. It was such a nice visit and I had the opportunity to watch the kids in all their activities...

Cole surprised us by losing his first tooth..


It was fun carving pumpkins for Halloween..


I even got to see Jennifer play on a coed soccor team. She can really boot that ball into the goal..


Saturday we went to Blake's football game. He's #32 on the Tigers.. He's such a great kid.


We watched McKenzie play volleyball. She's got quit a serve. They call her Big Mac for a good reason. You don't want to be fooled by her size, she's powerful..


McKenzie played her flute in sacrament meeting while I was there.

The weather was soooo nice and cool and it was great to get away for a few days, but now it's back to the old grind.

Fun at Schnepf Farms...

Friday night I went to Schnepf Farms with Matt and Julie's family and we met April, Ryan and their kids there. It was lots of fun watching them ride the rides, get their faces painted and climb the rocks. The maze wasn't much of a challenge for Paul, we walked in and right back out, mmmmmmI wonder...
