Snow mobiling 2010

We have had a lot of fun snowmobiling this past winter and spring. We have been out almost every weekend that John has been off. We have gone to Mirror lake or up to the wasatch Mt.s, Mirror lake is where we go most because there is a lot of big open areas and hills that are super fun. I liked the wasatch in the evenings, the moose come into cascade springs for their dinner, also night time is cool up there because we go so much all year long that we know all the trails. I am glad to be able to keep up with John (even when he thinks he is a kid) He gets suprised now when he turns around and I am right on his bumper....

Happy 7th Birthday Tyler

I can' believe my first grandchild is seven now. Boy does time fly. I was not able to make his party which I was feeling horrible about but at least papa went over there and had some cake. I had a bell concert down in Ogden. These are some times that we had alone together when I took Tyler on a special day earlier in the week to my cub scouts and then bike riding where we had one on one. He is so fun and very thoughtful. I love the conversations with him. He being the first is very special to me. I love Abby and James very much as well but as all grandma's know that first one is kinda extra special. He spent the night several times even when he was a baby. He knows grandma through and through. I got to see him when he was a few hours old, the others I had to wait because I was always watching one or two. We got him some of his favorite toys and some cool shirts and pants as well. I am glad he knows he can talk to me about anything.

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby James

James turned 1 last monday and we had fun celebrating his first birthday. He is so much fun, I enjoy him so much. You never know what to expect with his funny little personality. He loves to meow like a cat and lately we have been taking walks where he loves to ride in the old rickety thrift store bargain stroller where he sings, meows and talks all the way around the neighborhood, we are lucky to get him on sundays while Wendy teaches her primary, Papa is usually sleeping but wakes up fast to come out and play with James. He loves all the one on one attention with both of us. We look forward to sundays to have that special time with him. We love all three of our beautiful grandkids and their own special times they have with us. We feel very blessed to be part of their lives, I only had 1 grandma when I was growing up and remember the special times I had with her and sewing, playing canasta and baking with her. I think it is God's way of blessing us for getting older, that is what I call the golden years is playing with grandkids, they get to go home...........
