Company

Last week my husbands nephew and his wife Becky were here from Nevada. It was nice because we hadnt seen them in about a year and a half. The first day was spent hitting all of the yard sales in town. Its always fun and we do the same thing when we go to see them. You never know what wonderful things you might find. The next day we took a ride up to the Gorge. They had been there before but its always a nice ride when you want to get out of the house. We went over to Dutch John and couldnt believe the price of deisel up there. It was 5.29 a gallon. That is just disgusting. When we got home we barbequed. My daughter and her family were supposed to come down but they were all sick with strep. Our son was here and that was nice but we missed having the kids here. When my husband went back to work on Monday I took them to breakfast and then we went into town to do some shopping. When we got home Chuck didnt come into the house so I went to see what he was doing and what a surprise. He was pulling weeds and working in my yard. I tried to get him to quit but he wouldnt and didnt come in until my husband got home and they came into dinner. I ask Becky if she would leave him here for a week or two but she said she didnt think so. We really enjoyed having them here and hope we dont have to wait another year and a half before seeing them again.

Wedding Dress Shopping

I went with my daughter and granddaughter looking for a wedding dress for my granddaughter. Her aunt and best friend went with us to. We kind of got off to a rough start because the first 2 stores we went to werent even open yet. Then at the next store her friends car wouldnt start. A lady that was going into the same store as us had some jumper cables so gave her car a jumpstart. She left her car running the whole time we were in that store. Pretty brave if you ask me because she couldnt lock her car. The next store we saw about 5 dresses but not the one. We decided to take a little break so went to the mall for lunch and to do some window shopping.Next we went right up town and after trying on 5 or 6 dresses she found the one. it is beautiful, in other words my granddaughter is beautiful. Its hard to believe shes old enough to be getting married since I remember the day we put her on the school bus for her first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday.I have had so much fun watching her grow up into the beautiful young women that she is. The trips for dance and drill team,disneyland and six flaggs I will cherish forever.We love her husband to be and look forward to all of the wonderful times and memories we will make as a family.This first picture is not the dress that she picked. I will not give away anything.

Grandsons Birthday

A couple of weeks ago we went to help our granson celebrate his 16th birthday. It was quite a milestone since he had such a rough beginning. He was born at 6 and a half months and 2lbs and 2ozs. He spent his first 4 months in the hospital. The day he was brought home was a wonderful day.He has always been sweet but when he was little he was quite a little fireball. He is good at anything to do with computers and likes to play basketball. We have always teased him that he was going to be our nba player. we even have a nickname picked out for him. We our so proud of the fine young man he is becoming. We are so happy that he is part of our family. We love you Big T.

Family Get Together

A few weeks ago I went down to my oldest brothers for a family get together. His youngest son was here from China with his family for a few weeks. It had been about 15 years since I had seen him and I had never met his wife or his kids. He has the cutest family. They really like it in China and say they have no plans to move back to the states any time soon. His kids go to an international school so they can speak Chinese as well as they speak English. I saw a nephew and niece that I hadnt seen in years plus a lot of great nephews and nieces I had never met. My brother and sister in law always make you feel at home and show you a really good time. We a really nice supper and then set out on the lawn and talked and watched the kids play. They had a motorcycle and a four wheeler and when the kids got tired of that they wrestled and played games. We grownups got caught up on all the family news.One of my nephews little boys is the cutest thing, I would have liked to bring him home with me. Hes 3 years old and the cutest thing you have ever seen.All of the kids were really cute but this little one had the cutest personality. I hope we can all get together again and a lot sooner than 15 years. Its really a shame that we dont make an effort to see each other more often.
