You never know?

While we were in Las Vegas we went to Christian and Toryen's primary program. I would like to share some of the behind the before the program with you. I had been working with Toryen getting him to say his part over and over so he would memories it and not be scared when he got up to do it. His part was "FAMILY HOME EVENING STRENGTHENS OUR FAMILY" About the third or fourth time he said it right in the middle he stops and says "Grandma I need a moment I'm a bit nervous". Where dose he get this stuff. Any how we went on practicing and about the sixth or seventh time through he says " I am Optamus prime and Family Home Evening makes me strong". Well after that I was freaking out thinking that was how he was going to say his part.Now if you do not know who Optamus prime is, it is Toryen's latest super hero. We decided to let it go and see if he would forget about the Optamus prime thing and get back to his real part. He didn't. We got to the church and the program went wonderful. Then it was Toryen's part. He walked to the pulpit put a hand on each side took a deep breath and let it out in the mike. Then said " Family Home evening----Long pause with a evil smile----Strengthens our family. Then he went and sat down. Now everyone was watching him because the next child had not started there part yet. Toryen gets in his seat then looks down at me and gives me the two thumbs up sign with a big huge smile. I gave them right back to him so everyone watching would know he was mine. I love those little men.

play ground fun

The reason we went down was Toryen and Christian were in there primary program. They both did a wonderful job and they sang so great. It is amazing to see them being so grown up and doing there parts. I think however Toryen's teacher is being tested on patience. Toryen is a bit of a handful. I think Toryen would agree there are to many things to do besides sit still and be reverent. Thanks boys for a great week end. Jamie thank you and Brandon for all the great food and fun. I can hardly wait until thanksgiving. This photo is called dead Indians. Good job guys!


look at these cute feet. we were playing
ring around the rosies.






I
had the funnest week end. We got to go to Las Vegas and see the kids. I took Christian and Toryen on a walk and we ended up at the playground by there house. It was so fun watching them slide and climb and hearing all there "Watch Me Grandma's" I have had several jobs in my life but being a grandma is one of my favorites.

We LOVE are GRANDSON'S

Have a HAPPY day!

There are some things in life that make life worth living. These are two of my reasons for getting up every day. I do so love my Grandson's Christian and Toryen. Bud and I are just sending them out a shout out just for them. Have a HAPPY day boy's. We love you so much and want you to be good boys.

vacation

Well we are back from vacation and we had a blast. It was a lot of driving but worth it. Bud got to look for arrow heads and I got to ride my bike and see country I love. It was good to get away from phones and work for a while. Now back to work! We only have two more show this year and then a little down time. I sure can use that. My house looks like a dust bunny on drugs came through. The yard is in serious need of a make over. But like they say a time and a season.

I totally dis-like

You know what I totally dis-like, I would say HATE but I am trying to not use that word. I dis like women who get up every morning shower, do there hair, put on there face and go about there day and never look like the world has touched them. They work in there yards and never get a drop of dirt on there hands or on there clothes. I get up, I shower, I do my hair, I at least wash my face and with in ten minutes of these tasks I have dirt and grim all over me. What is the deal? Even when I try hard not to have anything happen to me partials some how cling to me and contaminate me to the point I look like I am part of the compost pile instead of the garden. If any of you out there can tell me what I am doing wrong, please share with me.

Ranch ride

We had such a great time riding on the ranch where Bud grew up. The pic of me on the bike is what I do while Bud is hunting arrow heads. The one of Bud is where he found one. The other pic is the kind of country we were riding in. The weather was great the ground was a bit dry and dusty but we had a blast.
