 Well we first started our
Trip off in Elko and went to the Horse races but I didnt take pics there. all of these are in Twin Falls ID our next stop which was beyond beautiful . Shoshone Falls and The Snake River Canyon Golf Course

No Pics but an update

Well, I hate getting so behind on my Blog. Unfortunately, I have not done anything where I took pics. I need to get some from Tara's birthday at least.. The end of January I started my employment with Canyonlands Community Healthcare as a Dental Assistant. What a blessing and something that has been so good for us. Dayton also started back to work at the Casa Blanca Deli again. It has been hard with both of us working gain but really good for us too. I enjoy my job and so does he.In this day and age I am grateful for us both to have a job.

I'm a slacker

Well it seems I am so far behind I cant blame it we have been to Lake Powell since I have blogged and it was great fun with all the family on a 70 foot houseboat. Dianne rented it and paid for the most part which was so so nice of her. Then I took off as Kacie and Micah moved to Portland and stayed there for about 10 days to help her before Micah could get out there with the kids while she got settled into work. It was nice to get close with the kids asI have never got to spend much time with them because we have always lived a ways  a part . Isnt that funny that I spent more time in Portland . I guess you take for granted when you arent that far away. I will sure miss them all out there. Then I got back ans shortly after that Dayton and I left on a motor home trip and traveled back up to Oregon so he could see it and visit. Then we traveled back down the coast through Reno, Tonopah and places in California . Then we ended up in Las Vegas for a few days. I have some pictures to post of all this stuff, but am having a hard time with my camera so I just wanted to at least catch up what has been happening.

CALIFORNIA TO SEE MY GRANDPA

All of us by the Blue Car we love this Car

Well it had been about 5 years since I had seen my Grandpa who lives in Westlake Village CA. I decided it was time I get out there. Tara, Kacie, Payton ,Treyson and I took off early Thurs and spent until Saturday afternoon there. We had a wonderful time, California is beautfiul and I am so glad I went. My grandpa has hardly aged at all I only hope to ever do as well as he does should I ever live to be his age. He is more alert than I am sometimes. Here are some pics I stole off Kacies blog as I forgot my camera ... I cant believe it but Tara is always reliable to steal pics from and Kacie took these which turned out great

My Grandpa and his Girlfriend Gunilla we had Never met her she was wonderful I am so glad he has her

Just, myself, Treyson and Payton at Zuma beach in Malibu, the water was COLD but the kids had fun and of course Malibu is beautiful

Kacie and the kids by the beach

Tara and Payton at the beach, Payton got sand in her eyes but she made some little friends and still had fun

After a long trip and lots of hours in the car. Dont they look as sweet and innocent as anything possible.Dont let Treyson more commonly known as "Monkey Man" fool ya, or the "Miss Thing" herself.

OFF TO THE LAKE

We planned a trip to Sand Hollow for Several months and Scott and Kristine had put a great deal of work into the trip we both took our motor home and fifth wheel and Scott took the boat and all sorts of water crafts stuff. Unfortunately the wind came up a lot but we all got to gather as a family and still had a really good time Kacie, Micah and the kids came down also Tara and All of Scotts family were here including Christan and her kids clear from Virginia. It isnt very often we can all get together. Here are a few pics of the kids in the lake. Treyson was busily eating his chips and drinking his Capri sun while he dipped them in the Red muddy water YUM !!  Oh well it kept him busy... In the picture above Kaylee and Harper were sharing a muffin off the floor of the fifth wheel, Needless to say all the kids got plenty of dirt this weekend it was good for them. Desi swam in the lake like a little trooper and loved it as much as the kids did. Thanks to Scott and Kris for a lot of work into planning and setting up this trip it was great.

UP TO PROVO WITH COUCHES IN TOW AND A FEW HIGHWAY PATROL

So we went up north to deliver some couches to Kacie and Micah that Scott and Kris gave them. It was quite and adventure and I better not get into all of it or I will be in trouble. LOL,Dayton did something very out of character for him. Anyhow, I took a few pics while I was up there this is one of them and I will go ahead and put some others. Dayton is rarely in pictures and I got some so I will post them on the blog, Just love my family all of them. When Kacie moves to Portland I will be lost. A good excuse to get to motorhome up to Oregon however. We will head up with our other child Desi in tow

Thankful for a great Mother in Law today also

One of the very most things which I forgot to mention that losing my mother so young I have been so fortunate to have a wonderful amazing Mother in Law who has always treated me like her daughter. Thanks Dianne for I dont know what I would have done so many times without you .. love you lots

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

So today is always a thankful one and a hard one for me. I am thankful for the short years I had a great mom. I am thankful to my heavenly father for two wonderful daughters who give me the chance to be a mom. Very grateful to have two beautiful grandkids who make me proud to be a grandma. Miss my mom today as every year but grateful for the many blessings I have this day

Need tp take some more pictures !!!

I realize I havent been to active on the blog and I am sorry that I didnt take pictures of Payton and Treyson when they were down.. They all just left today. We had time to go to lunch and breakfast with Grandma Dianne and other family for breakfast at least. It is a big job for Kacie to bring them down and we need to be happy for the time we have as they will soon move to Portland. Micah will start his Nurse Anesthitist school there. Congratulations to him though it was hard to get in the first try. Here are a couple of photos I had from before They are still really cute and I will have to get busy with my camera next time . Mothers day is coming and the kids wont be down but I will take some family photos

This is actually me with them at Christmas a little older pic but I love this one.

Thankful Thursday AND Payton Turns 3!!

Well I went to Springville with Tara and Tori and had a great time for Paytons birthday. She never ceases to amaze me with how big she is getting even though she informed us that if we left her in the nursery at church "SHE WOULD DIE!!" as she hung on Tara's leg.. please know that she goes to nursery every week and likes it she just was playing the family visiting thing. Kacies friend Lindsey who is ultimately talented once again came over and spent hours helping with cake and after a sad attempt to get Dora out of the pan once again she saved the day she is a darling girl. AS for Thankful Thursday, I could go on and on but most of all I was just talking with my Grandpa who is about 86 years old this morning and telling him about these blogs it inspired me to once again get busy. I have been blessed with the best family in the whole world from the time I was small. Sad that at times I have let them down I am hoping to do better. Even my extended family once I married have been the most supportive and the best I couldve asked for. From the day I came into Daytons family they have all treated me like their own. As for Dayton and my daughters they are the very best and have supported me through the very worst. Scott, Kristine and your family (including Christan , Randy and families) you have always been wonderful.Dawn Rae, Of course my mother in law as everyone knows is the best person in the whole entire world. I lost my mother at 27 years old and there is no one I think more of than Dianne. Anyhow I could go on and on and hope I havent left anyone major out well of course I just thought of my little angels, Payton, Treyson and Desi !!! they're the best. I am blessed in so many ways and have failed to thank my heavenly father way too many times.
