In Memory of my sweet Mother in Law

4 generations

She passed away on Nov. 24, 2008 she was 88 years old. Her mind was so sharp but her little body was worn out. She was kind to everyone, I'll always cherish our memories of her. We love and miss her.

I love Boston, It was fun to see my kids, see Wade's school, their church,we saw the
Freedom Trail, (Kali is a great tour guide)It was so very cold. But still fun to run, run, run to try to see things. I liked to ride the train and the bus. So glad
that we could go to Boston

Scott and Wade had to have Lobster, Kali and I didn't I had chicken and Kali had salad. We ate at the Union Oyster House(America's Oldest Restaurant) It was a lot of fun.

Boston

Wade and Scott at the Boston Temple.

We had to ride the train catch a bus then walk about 2 blocks.And it took all morning, I am so spoiled in Utah

it takes me 10 min to get to the Temple.

I hiked,climbed,crawled,nearly passed out
and barely made it to the top of

Angel's Landing.

Zion National Park

This last weekend I had the opportunity to go down to Zions

it was a lot of fun it was in the 80's so nice. Niki and I went down

to St. Geo. for a day did some shopping, and I got to spend the day

with her Hear all about what she has been up to with school, work,

and friends.Scott was at work all this time so he asked us to wait til Sat. to go

hiking. so we got up and went for our adventure for the day. We hiked up to

Angel's Landing it was about 1200 feet up. not very many people, Lots of switch backs, cliffs to hand on for dear life (we were hanging on this chain.)

on top was way cool to look where we have been. The

thing that bugged me the most was coming back down by this time (Lot's

of people.) The European people were so rude, don't follow the rules of the trail. Me and Niki

are hanging onto this chain if we let go we drop 1200 feet. Those men and I think women

come right up by us, I closed my eyes so I think they passed us fine. But all and all I'am so glad I can say this:I hiked,climbed,crawled, nearly passed out and barely made it to the top of Angel's Landing. (Zions National Park)

(This has been a personal goal for me to go hiking you see I have Rheumatoid Arthritis for the last 20 Years and it has been the last 2 years that I found a doctor who cares about me and to help me. He has put me on new medicine that has given me my life back.) When I get my pictures from niki I'll put them on my blog. Funny thing my camera did't have it's memory card in it so,Niki took all the pictures and she live's down in Logan.

Empty Nester

I don't like being a empty nester! I miss all the noise and wondering when kids are going to get home. I know I can't buy 2 gallons of milk we don't drink it fast enough, I just dumped 1/2 gallon down the sink, it was sour.I did do something crazy I never do this we got us a new mattress (I need a step ladder to get into bed ) sooo I got me a new Bed Spread, I love Brown and Green.

Wade and Kali Got Married!

On June 28, 2008, my son, Wade, and his bride, Kali, were married in the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temple. It was a beautiful day for a wedding, although it was rather hot. (Very hot) They still made a cute couple. Later that evening, we had a garden reception. We were so happy to see our friends and family come support us and show us their love and this happy day.

What I like to do...

I have been married for 29 years, wow the time has gone by so fast! I have been so lucky to have my life, long dream be a stay at home Mom. I have four great kids and the most wonderful husband. Our family just keeps on growing! We have 3 wonderful in-laws (Wade is getting married on June 28) and 2 Grand kids. Our first grand daughter is our little angel in Heaven; she was a stillborn. Eva Grace was born on Feb 16 2006. We now have a new little grandson and he is so cute! He reminds me of Jared at that age (like father like son) Jackson is 3months old and was born on January 15, 2008.
We are about to be empty Nester's. I've always dreamed about being a Mom and have forgotten to plan what to do with myself when the kids are gone. So now I'm wondering what to do (got any ideas for me) I love to read, hike, plant flowers and watch them grow; hoping that my dog won't dig them up! I love to travel and now I have a new place to go, Boston, Mass. Wade and Kali are moving to Boston so Wade can get his masters.
Scott an d I have been trying to eat healthy, no junk food has been so hard, of course! Scott has lost 15 lbs and I'm still the same. I am looking forward to summer, I hate winter!!! Thanks for visiting my blog and come back soon!

Hill Cumorah Pageant 2007

Here are some pictures of Scott, Kristy, & Niki out at the Hill Cumorah Pageant 2007. While we were there, we decided to take a "detour" in getting home.

Sacred Grove

Summer of 2007, Niki was in the Hill Cumorah Pageant and of course we had to go and bring her home. So, this is us at the Sacred Grove. It was a great trip!!!
