"MEXICAN RIVIERA"

2011-03-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

In February I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas on a wonderful Cruise. It was so much fun to be pampered and see so many sites and do nothing if we didn't want too. This was the first time I've traveled anywhere that required a passport. This was a picture of dress up night. The food of course was great but we so enjoyed craft time, shows, sitting out on deck and going into the different ports.

Allen and Grandaughter Mackay!

Well I hope its safe to say Allen is all healed over. He had 4 surgery's in 3 1/2 months as is finally getting back to normal. Two total knees, and a emergency bleeded, and his thyroid out. I call him the Bionic Man soon he won't have any of his original parts. This is always an humbling experience and we are very grateful and blessed that everything went well with his surgerys and recovery. We had had plans to go up the coast this year but you soon learn there's more important things. Now we are looking ahead hoping that the economy starts getting better and that he can be back doing what he loves BUILDING HOUSES. Oh yes and HUNTING can't forget that.

CHALLENGES

2010-05-05T12:51:00.000-07:00

Well I know life is full of these lately it seems as if alot have found us. Its what we learn from these that are important. I have learned what a loving helping family we have and are always there for us. I also know I would rather have my challenges or trials then someone elses. I know that we are not given more than we can handle so Allen and I are pretty tough at times. So I guess what it comes down to is the most important thing we have is each other and our familys.
Allen has had 3 surgerys in 4 weeks. He has had two total knee replacements and one emergency surgery to fix a bleeder he had in his knee. He is doing much better now still weak but feeling much less pain. He is a very strong Man and has been through a lot but if you were to ask him how he was he would say. "I've never had a bad day!
Thanks to all our family, siblings, and friends for all the help! We so appreciate it all!
A quote I found * The best vitamin to be a happy person is B1 *
Until later! And yes, we plan at staying away from hospitals

Empty Nest!

2010-04-18T12:15:00.000-07:00

Hi, well its time for a new blog for sure. I know I wrote empty nest as my title but I can finally say that I am enjoying life as a empty nester. Beau has been gone for 2 years now and him and Stefanie are going to have there first child a boy! in September. The time in our lifes as we are raising our children is very busy, crasy, emotional, happy, time consuming, sleepless, worrysome, fun, and so worth it. But it is such a wonderful feeling and feeling of accomplishment to see them all venture off and start there on lifes. The Blessings they give you back are so wonderful. The Grandchildren that love and care for you so much is all worth it. Between Allen and I we have 10 children, and 29 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren and 1 on the way. But about the empty nest it is so nice to watch a whole movie through with no interuption, take a long shower, clean your house and it stays clean except the dust, sleep in if you want and can, shop with out taking a bunch of kids and all there needs, cook only for two, read or write a letter without someone yelling your name. But this one is for my kids ( I can actually have all of my 32 ounces of diet coke) unless the grandkids are around.LOL
Life is good no matter what stage we are in it is a constant learning process but full of many opportunities and much love and caring from some wonderful Children, Spouses, Grandkids, Family and Friends. Thanks for all all of you do!

Now to Allen - he is home Day 3 after Total knee replacement . This is his second one in two weeks as I type he is out side riding side saddle on his 4 wheeler. He is doing well but so hard to keep down some. I will not be back to work until Tuesday and by then he will hopefully not need his walker any longer. He is such a tough man they are calling him the bionic man. He is a wonderful husband and such a hard worker . This will make it so much easier for him to get around now.
Just want to say thanks to everyone for the visits and phone calls.
Remember " Life is what we make it"
until next time.

I'm Back!

2010-03-01T14:32:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone, after a little harrassement from kids yesterday I decided it was time for a new post. We had such a fun day yesterday going to Logandale for Baxter's ordainment to a Deacon. Who can believe he is 12 years old? And Bella is right around the corner to turning 12 also. Today I just want to say How lucky I am to have such terrific Kids and the best Grandkids. The Love those Grandkids give you is the very best. We sure had some fun laughs yesterday and a good visit with family.
Thanks Girls for following my example of Braids, matching outfits, fruits and vegs at meals, and time outs.

And the fun news is I am off to California with Grant and Holly to Disneyland and the Zoo next week can't wait.
see you soon!

"THANKFUL"

2009-12-01T13:14:00.000-08:00

Well again it has been a few months. I have taken sometime this last month and thought of the things that I am thankful for.
Family
Friends
Husband
Jobs
Jobs for Allen
Insurance
Food Storage
Church
The Gospel
My Father
My Grandma
Our Children
Our Grandchildren (all 28 of them)
Home
The Seasons
Health
Gardens
A warm place to go home to
Food on the table
Talents
Safety
And many more!
Well my prayers go out to my neighbors who have been very ill and who have lost love ones.
To all the people without jobs
To all the people with no food on the table
To all the people with no place to go
I am so blessed to have a great Husband who works very hard and provides well for me. And for such wonderful, thoughtful, loving, children. And for the cutest Grandkids around. (I'm partial)
My Dad is adjusting pretty well still at the assisted living center. He is struggling with his memory, but is eating well and visiting . Please take time to go see him as he doesn't remember that you have been there. What a wonderful Father he is and a example of christ he has been in many lifes.
We are so glad that Jason Baker was able to go back to work this week , and hope that this will be a good start to his recovery. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our children(most of them) and loved ones.
Remember we are so blessed and have so much. If not look around and you will always want your life back. Lets all try to play in forward and remember others at this time of year.
Hope to be back soon.

2009-09-24T15:35:00.000-07:00

Well as you can see its been a few months. We just recently put my Dad in a assisted living center. Believe it or not he is really liking it and is happy. It makes me happy that he is keeping busy with new friends. some days he makes new friends again. It is hard to see your parents getting old but you always want the best for them. We are lucky he is in the Heritage Home in Hurricane so he is close to visit. He would love a visit from any of you.
Allen is not real busy but little jobs seem to appear which were thankful for.
Believe it or not Krista turned 18 years old yesterday she is such a sweet girl. This has been a busy month for birthdays. Jason C, Holly, Heidi, Chris, Jenny, Jaxson, Trek, and krista.
Im so thankful for our family.
We are sorry about Jason Bakers Grandma passing away she was a very special lady. We also wish Jason B a succesful surgery.
Well as usual life is crasy but happy to be here.

Well today I am just rambling on, I was wondering if anyone realized that I had a blog as of not many comments have been left.Maybe this could be for reasons that it is boring, or I don't update often, or I'm a older person with a blog, or possible I don't know what I am talking about. Well I will try to be more interesting in the future. Our prayers go out to Randy and his family we sure hope things go better and you start healing. Until next time.

SENIOR PROM1

2009-05-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

Well I'll tell ya what Love is:
I went to SaltLakeCity for the weekend to spend time with my 95 year old Grandma.
She lives in a assisted living Home and on Saturday they had a SENIOR PROM for them.
2.00 pm - Make up and Hair styling
6.30 pm- SENIOR PROM
they had a band there from Kaysville Highschool with singers and they were all dressed in formual wear.
The Highschool Boys asked the Women to dance and the Highschool girls asked the Men to dance. There was many happy tears from my sister and I.
Love is a women asking her husband(he is in the wheelchair) to dance. Honey could I have this dance? And she push's him around the dance floor. The Highschool kids showed so much love and concern for these Elderly. And yes the music was from the 1920's.
what a wonderful opportunity!
Thanks Grandma we love you!

Grandma

2009-05-07T07:21:00.000-07:00

So Jackie and I are off to see our Grandma this weekend. She is 95 years almost 96 and is now in a rest home for good. We are sad to see her have to sell her house and move to the rest home. Life has so many changes. My Grandma has to be the most caring, loving, selflessness, thoughtful, person I know. She always seems to go with the flo and is pretty settled in now. I'm so thankful to have her as my Grandma!!!! So we are headed out for laughs, Diet Coke, Cards, and yes we do drive up to the speed limit( thats for our kids). We will see ya on Sunday morning!! With some FUN stories of course.

2009-05-07T07:16:00.000-07:00

LIFE is so Precious, Beautiful, Wonderful, Happy, Full, sometimes it can be very sad! Our Family is so sad to hear of Lorraine's Cancer. What a Strong, Faithful, Loving person she is. She is struggling but you never hear a negative comment from her. Something I'm sure alot of us could learn from. We had a Beautiful wedding for her daughter last weekend so much great help from so many loving family members. Thanks to everyone's help. I hope everyone can remember Danny and Lorraine and there family in your prayers.

Some of my cute grandkids!!!!

What a great time we had on Sunday It was so cool to have Grant and Holly, Jason and Heidi, Brian and Tiffany, Beau and Stefanie, and 11 grandkids. (plus Grandpa Cox). It was like old times having all that help. My Dad thought there was about 50 of us. At times it sounded like that. The kids had so much fun up on the mountian behind our house. This is what life is all about!

Unexpected Surprise

2009-03-19T07:35:00.000-07:00

2009-03-17T15:23:00.000-07:00

My Oregon Trip

2009-03-02T19:06:00.000-08:00

I am in Oregon visiting the Zoo-The Zitting Family. My daughter, son-in-law, grandkids and my new granddaughter Ava. She is the cutest. The other day we went exploring Portland and I saw parts that I have never seen before. It reminds me alot of Seattle. But my favorite part is spending time with my grandkids. Even if it means picking lice out of Isabella's hair.

Today my son-in-law Jason Baker had back surgery. He is doing better and at home now. I am thankful that all went well and he is on the road to recovery. Today is also my grandson's Bridger's 9th Birthday. He is such a talented and creative young man. I am so proud to have him as my grandson. I love him so much.

I hope I can keep up with this blogging thing. I will update more later.
