I Love Books! So every year on Valentine's Day I get my kids & grand kids books. Adrie sent me these cute pictures of her kids with their new books that I had mailed. Michael got the "Joseph Smith Papers", he said he needed them because they were historically important. However you need to justify that is fine with me dear :).

These are the pretty roses I got for Valentine's day from my sweet hubby. Love you.

As many of you know I came out to Wisconsin to spend some time with Adrie & the kids. We made this poster for grandpa because he was so sweet to send me. The kids had a ball putting on stickers, glitter and tracing their little hands. We miss him a lot, in fact, Kolten was pretty disappointed when only I got off the plane. I promised him next time Aubree & Grandpa would come with me.

Catching up on November's Happenings!

I got a picture of all my kids together, which hasn't happened since Adam's wedding. I love them all so much and feel very blessed to have such great kids.
Brandon & Gina Blessed Jackson while Justin & Adrie where here visiting.

During November we also had my mom's 80th birthday. Here she is holding great grandchild, Jackson Gleed.

My Piano still has little sticky finger prints on the keys that I can't bring myself to wipe off.

In November Adrie, Justin and the kids came from Wisconsin and stayed with us for a little while. It was way too short for me but I am grateful for whatever time I can have with them. One of the first mornings they were there I came down the stairs and there was Kolten and his beloved George sharing a blanket and watching cartoons. So sweet.

Doing Much Better!

Mom would kill me if she knew that I had taken a picture! She was busy trying to figure out her remote so she didn't notice. We are very grateful that she is doing so much better. The fine doctors at Mckay-Dee figured what was causing her strokes and were able to get her blood pressure and blood sugar under control. I don't think my dad would last very long with out her. He sat there by her bed and held her hand for hours. Now with the help of family and neighbors maybe we can keep them healthy and happy for a while. Mom will be 80 on November 10. I am glad she will be here to celebrate.

Scarey Halloween!

Hadley as a Poodle
Kolten as Batman.


Taylor was the cutest little bumblebee & Colby was a sticky faced ghost.

Baby Jackson was a skeleton.

Alivia was Sharpei (High School Musical) Jace was a baby Elephant and

Easton looks like a blind version of Batman.

Michael had to take the pictures of the grandkids this year. My mother had a stroke earlier that day so Amber & I were at the ER with my parents. We took her to McKay Dee hospital the next day and she was admitted to the stroke unit. It was a scarey night. I felt bad that I hadn't been there for the grandkids but Michael took care of everything on the homefront so I could be at hospital with my parents.

Pretty Pink Sunrise.

The other morning I was getting ready for work and looked out the front window to see a gorgeous pink sunrise. I hurry and threw on my robe and grabbed my camera. The pictures didn't even do it justice and the pink light was already fading by the time I ran outside but still pretty.
