Camping at Deep Creek, Md

Just Chillin with my pet bird

This is my oldest grandson/nephew Patrick
whom I finally got pics from his Mom
(Thanks Dawn) I miss him dearly.
He has the curliest blonde hair and
beautiful big blue eyes. He lives in
Maryland on a big farm with lots of animals
that my dear sweet daughter/niece and her hubby have.
I have so much fun when I visit them. I wish
all my family could live close by.
They love to go fishing and hunting. Boy
would they love it here.

I LOVE BINGO

Yesterday I went with a dear sweet lady named June, to the senior's bingo at the senior center. I met her there for lunch and played bingo with her afterwards.
As my mother knows since I played with her all the time in Maryland. I Love Bingo...........

We had a fun time and the prizes were groceries, papertowels, toilet paper,
six packs of lemonade,etc....

A lot different then the prizes in Maryland (huh Mom)
We had fun and June won a few times. I ended up with a roll of
paper towels as the booby prize.
Those little old ladies are fun to be with. They made me laugh alot.
They said I could come again and play any time with them (probably because I didn't win) Any way June is such a sweet friend to have. I hope I can be like her when I
get older I have never seen such a spunky lady. She lives in Midway and plays in
my handbell choir. I also play bunco with her. She has a farm and a lot of chickens
which she gives me lots of eggs. I love you June..........

Dear Sweet Abby's 3rd Birthday
We had such a fun party with her.
She was so happy as she usually is.
We had cake and ice cream and lots
of fun, fun, fun,

Going to the pet store

These mice are really funny, They love to run,run,run. I hope they don't get out


We love to see the mice go round and round on their wheels. We laugh and laugh


Good thing Grandma doesn't have a pet snake or these mice would be history.


Grandma's turtles, this one is named Jack the other is Jill. She brought them
to Utah from Maryland. She has had them for over 10 years


Grandma needed some feeder fish for her turtles. She let us play with
them first. She let us get in her big tub and we got to play with them before the
turtles ate them. We watched as the turtles enjoyed their treat. Abby didn't like
the turtles eating her fish....

Grandchildren are our greatest Blessings

We are so happy to live so close the the grandkids.
They truly our a joy to be with. Thank you Heavenly
father for giving all of us a blessing as we grow
older. being a grandparent is the Best.....

We watched the kids while Mommy worked and we all
had a lot of fun. We played twister and when Papa John
got home we begged him to take us to the indoor pool
at Kamas which is about twenty minutes from our home.
Being a big kid himself, not to mention his soft heart
for the grandkiddies said ok lets go....

We always have fun with Tyler and Abby, last week we went
to another one of their favorite places(chuck E. Cheese)
We always have a blast with our grandkids....

Activity Day Girl Valentine Surprise

click on red x to take you to the video
I couldn't get the picture to come on...


On Wednesday we had our Activity Day with
the girls at Vicky's house. We gathered
together to have some treats and work on
a service project to give Bishop Lacey
a Valentine Heart Attack. The girls
really had a lot of fun doing this for
our new bishop. They blew up lots of
red balloons, decorated hearts with
their own sayings and made a candy gram.
Then we loaded everything in the car
and went to his house to decorate his
front door and lead a pathway of red
balloons to his dining room table where
we left the candy gram. I called a few
days in advance to let his wife know what
we wanted to do and she said he would be
delighted to be suprised since becoming
a new bishop is such a challenging job
and he would enjoy being appreciated by
the girls. Convienently they were not
home and their son Cameron let us in to
do our suprise........
Love You Bishop Lacey
