Moab Fun!

We were able to head down to Moab for a quick trip over the weekend. Leon & Janet (David's brother) went down with us....we did some trails that we have never done before and we were able to see some more beautiful country!On Friday, Mar. 20th we found a very awesome canyon...which I can't remember the name of just now...senior moment!

It was a narrow winding road down into a beautiful canyon!

You can see below, how narrow the road was! That black speck is Leon's jeep!

On Sat. Mar. 21st, we tried a new trail that skirted the boundaries of Arches National Park! It was really beautiful country and we eventually ended up in the park, and then came out through Arches!

The trail wasn't always marked very well....here is David and Leon trying to find where we were on a map...half the fun of finding new trails is getting lost!

We tried a new trail called "Heh Joe Canyon" .....it pretty much just followed the Green River, down through the Tamarack trees, which means lots of new scratches on the jeeps....it ended up at an old Uranium mine, that had lots of old mining equipment scattered around!

Spring Fun

Eliza got to spend the night with Grandma & Grandpa Webster while her parents went away for their anniversary.... Eliza loves Maggie...Don't tell her mom that she likes to give Maggie kisses on the mouth!

She helped us put up the trampoline for the new season!

And Eliza and Grandpa went for alittle horse ride...this was the first time Eliza has ridden the horse all my herself (with Grandpa leading of course!)

On Sunday, March 15th, I had the March Birthday dinner....and with the great Spring weather, the kids broke in the sand box....8 kids in one little sandbox!

I loved how little Jake (down front) was waving for the picture!

Sage and Jade came on Sat. before the party and helped me make the cheesecakes!

Jade loved licking the beaters!

Grandma's Valentines Party

David & I hosted a Valentine's Party for our eight grandchildren on Saturday evening Feb. 14th! It gave each of their parents on opportunity to go out and celebrate while we had fun eating and playing with the grandkids!
We served the kids a dinner of pizza, breadsticks & vegies and dip.....there wasn't alot of eating going on, but there was a whole lot of fun!

The kids never get to sit at "the big table" when we have our family get togethers....so they thought this was fun to be served by Grandma and Grandpa!

I went all out decorating for the big party!

This is our Bailee bug, who will be 8 on the 23rd of Feb and is getting baptized on the 28th!

This is our Sage who is 6 1/2 yrs old, doing one of her famous poises! This is our Kenadee, also 6 1/2, with her toothless hugh smile!

This is Hunter who will be five on the 23rd of Feb!

This is our Curtis, 4 1/2 yrs old....he has the biggest and best smile of all!

Eliza has just started doing her "Smile" for the camera....she will be three in May!

Our little Jade, just turned 2 in January! What a sweetie!!

And our youngest grandson, Jake will be two in April...he wasn't feeling well for the party!

We tried taking a group shot of all the kids, but the balloons kept getting in the way, and everyone kept moving around!

After dinner and the games, we all settled in for a movie and my famous homemade popcorn!

I had bought a new movie just for the party...which was actually an older movie called "An American Tale #2"

Family Bear Lake Trip

Our family weekend at our Bear Lake Condo was absolutely GREAT! The grandkids are getting where they play so well together and have so much fun together! Here are the oldest five in the indoor swimming pool! I love this picture of Eliza....it is so hard to get her to look at me and to smile!

Here is our handsome Curtis! He has the cutest smile!

The three oldest girls, Sage, Kenadee and Bailee and ganging up on Uncle Jason in the kiddie pool! He definitely deserved it!

Eliza and Jade are really starting to get along and enjoy coloring together!

Hunter, Jade and Eliza looked so cute on the floor coloring!

The adults had a great time, playing games, eating junk food and never having to get out of our PJ's! The new favorite game is Ticket to Ride

Doctor Jade is trying to fix Grandpa's heart...I wish it were that easy!

The kids loved the big pool, and kiddie pool and loved the foam off of the hot tub!

Grandpa Dave giving horsey rides in the pool....Bailee, Jake and Sage loved going on rides!
