Where’s The Sun

I have been thinking of Braydan and Jessica a lot.
We have had enough rain in the last three day for a year’s rainfall and snowfall in Az... The only problem we have had is a little worry with water on our patio. This morning Craig and I scooped up about seven buckets of water off our back porch.


This picture is after the water has gone down, which Craig said taking a picture now is a little late, but I took it anyway. We now have a lakeside view from our back yard, which is really a green space. If anyone wants to ski, the resorts have tons of snow. Also, the desert blooms will be beautiful this spring with our rainfall. You might want to come and see.
Monday, I did however pick two red tomatoes from my plant.



We used to think the little rabbits were so cute in our green space but now we hate them! Since the HOA did not plant winter grass, the rabbits have no food to eat. However, they have found our yard. Craig has been spraying a stinky solvent to keep them out which has helped, but they are all over the neighborhood. I am hoping some drowned. I know, I should never let my real meanness come out. Especially for all to read, but I do not like them anymore. I had better stop rambling, or I will be here all day.

Thanksgiving


Since I have not posted for a while here is a lot of old news from Thanksgiving on. Sym and Josh came down for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful having them. I have never been or have seen shopping so much. My favorite is always the swap meet. Sym made sure our Christmas tree went up which she bought, and they brought up when they moved all our belonging last year. It is hard to believe that we have been in our home over a year now.
I didn't take a lot of pictures so check out my childrens blog. They are much better than I. More up to date also.

Christmas

I have been making these Christmas tree ornament. I love them, and next year I will get them all finished with a picture of each of my grandchildren in either a white or a red frame.


Christmas we spent with the Parkers, which was very fun. They even play games with us, which I love. They love it to when I lose. They boys still are crazy about Grandpa and never want him to leave. They do pay a little attention to me, which I love. I really do not mind that they love Grandpa the most. It is more restful for me.

The week after Christmas Braydan, Jessica, and their kids came. They stayed for a week and the visit was wonderful. The nights were a little hard, but the days were good. My favorite activities were playing games, going to the swap meet, and the dinosaur museum. Brody was very scared of the dinosaurs, but Gavin and especially Kaleb loved them.

Mesa Visitor Center
I am so glad when the kids come to visit. Thanks so much for the visits. We love you and are so proud of each one of you. We need Travis, Shandi and Chase to come visit. In addition, I would love to see sisters. I am planning to come to Logan around the end of May and first week in June. Sym is having a baby BOY the end of May. In April, Helena is having a baby GIRL. Can you believe it?
