FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

2010-06-20T18:29:00.000-07:00

We went to Idaho for Father's Day weekend. We stayed with Dad and Mom on Friday night and had a great visit with them. It's always good to see them and they are getting along great! Brady, Shoni and family were camping at the KOA campground over by Monteplier so we took a ride over there on Saturday and visited with them for a few hours. We then rode around Bear Lake and down through Logan canyon and home. It was a beautiful day for a ride and it had been many years since either of us had been over to Bear Lake and down through Logan Canyon. Here are a few pictures.

Visit to Vegas

I spent all of last week at the Howell family home helping them out during Kell's complications from her recent procedure. We hope she is on the up and up and that things will soon be normal for them - they have been through a lot. I had a blast with the boys and Steve flew down for a couple of days at the end of the week. Here are a few pictures:

We took the boys to Wal-Mart to get a planting project. You will see their completed projects on each side of them. Boston planted cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and Bracken planted cucumbers and strawberries.

Brothers working together to create a cool contraption!

Boston & Grandpa got in a water fight - I think Boston got the best of him!

Boston's pants were so wet and heavy, they fell off while he was jumping on the tramp.

SPECIAL MOTHER'S DAY 2010

Brady, Shoni and family came down for the Mother's Day Weekend. We had a great time with them visiting the zoo, the State Capitol and just hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Jancy's 1st Trip to the Zoo - she had a blast!

Tommy, you are a dork!

Riding the train - it felt so good to sit down after almost 3 hours of walking around the zoo!

Grandpa and Jancy were worn out when we got home!

Our sweet little Jancy was blessed by her Uncle Monte on May 2, 2010. She was a little angel through the blessing as well as the through the entire meeting. We spent one night with my Mom and Dad and had a nice visit and one night with the Henderson family. We had a great time.

VEGAS TRIP FOR BOSTON'S 4th BIRTHDAY

2010-05-07T07:13:00.000-07:00

Our sweet little Boston turned 4 years old on April 24th and he got to go to Disneyland for his 4th birthday - pretty cool! We went down the week before to celebrate with him. While there, we also got to see two of Bracken's baseball games. Between the two games, Bracken hit a home run and 3 triples, plus a few other outstanding hits and plays. He's a good little ball player. Here are a few pictures of Boston's 4th birthday party.

My Mom made my cake and it was awesome - not as cool as my Grandma Jan's cakes tho -- just kidding Kelley!

Playing Musical Chairs - guess who won?
WINNER - the birthday boy! Is he excited or what? Bowling -- Bracken was a great pin-setter-upper!

Opening presents - lots of cool stuff!

Cute boys! Check out Bracken's injured right elbow - he biffed it at the baseball park the day before - right before his game!

Howell Family Visit in Las Vegas

Bracken is getting so big and tall. He's really into Star Wars.

Little Boston is so funny to watch - he was being a diaper head.

Dad took them to the store and bought them a bike ramp - Boston has no fear! He learned how to ride a two wheeler without training wheels at the age of 3.

Bracken is also very brave and flies over the ramp - this Grandma had a hard time watching and it brought back memories of Brady and his ramp!

Boston with little Teddy which he has had since he was born - Teddy has had to have a few stitches but he is well taken care of by Boston - so cute.

Boston and Grandma at the baseball field waiting for Bracken's baseball game to start. We love the Spongebob ice creams at the park - they are the best!!! Sometimes we have 2 of them!

Bracken - #11 up to bat. He is a great little baseball player and we got to see two of his games while there. He played awesome!

Christmas and Ice Fishing with the Hendersons

2010-03-27T07:18:00.000-07:00

Christmas Eve with the Hendersons in Mink Creek Idaho. We were lucky to be able to have Grandma Fryer with us, and although she didn't feel great, she was a trooper and enjoyed being with the family.

This was Grandpa's favorite Christmas gift!

We went ice fishing for Calvin's 8th birthday. Had birthday cake on the lake and caught a lot of fish. It was a blast!

Our crazy little Tommy decided to wear his fish on his head.

We had a great time ice-fishing and thought maybe we should make this our winter-time hobby!

Steve and I went to San Diego this past week to watch the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tournament at Torrey Pines. It was totally awesome and man can those girls play golf. We went to the tournament both Saturday and Sunday and walked the entire golf course both days and we were exhausted after. We enjoy just sitting on the balcony of our hotel on the 9th floor which overlooked the bay over to the naval base and Coronada Island and enjoying the sites. Saw a naval ship headed out to sea which was exactly like the one Steve was on when he was stationed in San Diego in the Navy. We enjoyed two yummy Mexican dinners at Old Town San Diego. We stayed three nights, and we were so NOT ready to come home. Was such a great mini-vacation. I think we are kinda semi-retired. Here are a few pictures:

Torrey Pines Golf Course - beautiful ocean course - oh, how we wanted to play it!

Steve standing on our hotel room balcony - nice hat, huh!

Naval Ship - brought back Navy memories in St. Diego for Steve.

Resting after the Golf Tourney.

Yummy Dinner at San Diego Old Town. Brought back fun memories of when we vacationed there with the kids about 20 years or so ago.

Calvin and Tommy came down to stay with us for the weekend. As usual, we had a blast. They wanted to go to the Dinasour Park again and we loved it last time so went again. It was just as great the 2nd time. They brought their Halloween costumes to show us. Tommy's 4th birthday is Tuesday, September 8th, so we had a little party for him. They also wanted to roast marshmellows again, I really think they just like playing in the fire, but who didn't when you were a kid. Here are a few pictures in no particular order, I'm doing good just to get them on here. We love all of our grandsons so much and wish they were closer -- they are all so special!

2009-08-16T18:52:00.000-07:00

We went to Vegas this past weekend to visit the Howell family.

We had a great time and did a lot of fun things and wanted to share

some of the pictures we took. We went to the new Ice Age Dinasour

Movie cause Grandpa wanted to see it so bad. We all loved it. We also

went and check out the new M Hotel and Casino, went bowling and to the

Arcade at South Pointe. We had a contest with play dough to see

who could sculture the best things. Grandpa Donut was pretty good.

Working on the 600 Cheese Balls from Sam's Club - Yummy! GO UTES!

Oops, forgot to recycle my 3-D classes from the movie!

But I looked pretty cool in them, huh!
You crack me up!

Weekend with Calvin and Tommy

2009-06-07T17:31:00.000-07:00

Boy, I haven't been too good with keeping up on my blog, but had the Henderson boys with us for the weekend so thought I'd share a couple of pictures. We went to the movie "UP", to the dinasour park in Ogden, roasted marshmellows and told ghost stories in the backyard and watch a lot of cartoons. We had a blast! Love you guys!

Calvin's 7th Birthday at the Monster Jam Truck Show

2009-03-01T06:28:00.000-08:00

We went to the Monster Jam Truck Show for Calvin's 7th Birthday. We had a blast. Little Tommy had a short cap nap during the show and was like new again when he woke up. It was so fun to be able to celebrate Calvin's birthday with him.

2009-02-23T17:48:00.000-08:00

Well here it goes, I'm attempting to create a blog so that we can show off our four handsom and healthy grandsons that we are so blessed to have. We love spending time with them and wish they were closer; however, with Steve working for Delta, we can get to Vegas quickly to see the Howell family and Idaho is just a 2-hour drive away to visit the Henderson family.

We are so cool - just ask our Grandma Jan!
