NEVER say never!!

Okay, so once I said that I never wanted to be the gospel doctrine teacher in Sunday school. Then what happens? I am asked to be the gospel doctrine teacher. I did that for over 2 years and it was a great experience, and I really grew a lot. One time I said, I didn't think I'd like to be the nursery leader, and you guessed it, I was the nursery leader. Well, one thing I said that I never, ever wanted to do was Cub Scouts. Okay, I know you know what comes next. Yes, I am now the Wolf Den lady. I thought that since Grant was no longer a cub scout, for about 20 years now, that I would be safe. Very few grandma-temple workers serve in the cub scouts. All three of these callings have come in my present ward. I think that our bishop has been channeling my thoughts or something. I know that I'll love my calling. I always end up loving what ever I am asked to do. But I have some advise for all of you, NEVER SAY NEVER!!

Belated Easter

We waited until Michelle and her kids got here before we had our Easter, afterall I was traveling to Arizona on the actual day of Easter. We were very happy that it was a warm and sunny day. Our friends Tiffany and Kyle and their two kids joined us. They are like family to us now.

I think that Grant had as much fun as the kids. When he was little he used to run saying, "Find eggs! Find eggs!." The enthusiasm is still there.

This is not a flattering shot but after the egg hunt we had a traditional Easter dinner. Kyle seems to be intent on shoving it in. Next to Grant is our new friend, Kathi. She is Blaine's cousin, and now she is our friend.

Michelle's move to Utah and What's up with the snow?

The night before the big move.

Last time for scriptures with Daddy, for a while.

Moving Day: Saying good-bye to Daddy at the truck stop.

Oliver: Just chillin' in his car seat.A stop for burgers.

Silly mommy. Burgers are for big boys. Crossing over Hoover Dam.The amazing new bridge that is being constructed over the river to bypass over-the-dam travel.At Grammy's house. It's good to be princess.And....It's the middle of April. What's up with this snow.? This seems more like January snow, than April snow. OMG!!

(the G stands for goodness)

A New Crib

Oh frabjious day!! Caloo, Calay!! I'm chortling in my joy.
I leave tomorrow (on Easter) to fly down to get Michelle and her kids and bring them back.

Uncle Grant and Grandad are putting together a new crib for Asher. Baby Oliver will sleep in the old crib in the same bedroom as his mom. I'm am for sure a happy grammy.

The only thing that would make this better would be for Blaine to be joining us.

Keeping up with the Joneses

On Monday, I drove my mother over to Colorado to visit her brother, Raymond, who is having some major health problems.

Here are a few pictures from that trip.
This is my cousin Bruce Jones.

He is 3 months older than me. It must have been a pretty rough 3 months!!

(Just kidding, Bruce.)

This is Bruce's wife, Sharon.

Sorry, Sharon. This is the only picture of us together and your eyes are closed.
My Uncle Raymond used to be one of southern Colorado's best dairy farmers. It is so sad for me to see him in such poor health.

It doesn't surprise me too much that I didn't get a picture of Betty. She is constantly on the move.
We are really glad that we were able to go and have such a nice visit. We love our Colorado relatives and don't get to see them nearly enough.

In case you didn't know it, I Love Cats.

There is absolutely no reason for this post except that I knew these cute pictures of cats would make your day, they sure did mine. If I had a camera set up on your computer, I could take a picture of your smile right now.

I'm celebrating, big time. I just found out that Michelle and kids will be coming to live with us for a while, until their house in AZ sells. Now that Grant is living at home after his divorce, we will have ALL of our kids living here. (except Blaine, who will be in Denver setting up a new business). I just want to jump for joy!!
