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

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.
