Thanksgiving 2009

We all went ice skating and had a good time. Daniel and Jamie loved to skate with all their niece's and nephews. Adam, Jared and Jordon had a good time and helped the little kids. This has become a family tradition.

Jordon's Eagle

On Sunday night after vacation Jordon had his Eagle Court of Honor. We had it that night because the next day Jim went into the hospital for surgery and Layne left for a business trip. Way to go Jordon.

July 4th - My Birthday

We all went to Jordanelle to enjoy the day boating and playing in the lake. It was a great way to spend my birthday. When we were done at the lake we head to Delora's house to B-que dinner and have birthday cake and fireworks. I love my family.

Rachael's Visit

Rachael came and stayed two weeks with us. She wanted to learn to cook and sew. I took her house cleaning with me and paid her $5 per house to help. She was excited to earn some money. She had a good time spending the money. Here are some pictures of Rachael.

She is mixing up a batch of cinnamon rolls.

Madalyn's Dress

Here is Madalyn in her pretty new dress. She was baptized on Sat. June 13, 2009. The dress was made by her Grandmother (me). After she was done, we all went back to her house and had some food and visited with each other. It was a great day.


Kade wanted his picture taken too.

City of Rocks

Today, I took Tanya and her kids out to the City of Rocks. It was a cloudy overcast day. The City of Rocks is about 1 hour south of where I live. It is an area where rocks were formed billions of years ago. People come from all over to see them and many come to climb the rock faces. We just climbed the little rocks and hiked around them. We had lunch there.

This is Tanya and Reese, Porter, Dakota and Violet inside a rock.
