Hi Everyone
This weekend Paul and I traveled to Las Vegas to attend Kelly's wedding. We had such a fun time visiting with family and getting caught up with everyone. Kelly looked so happy and the wedding ceremony was beautiful. The trip was to fast but we were so glad we got to see everyone. We were able to attend Kooper baby blessing on Sunday morning but I will let Lindsay tell everyone about that on her blog. Love Paul and Karen

Amy and Jessica are so beautiful, and we are planning to visit them in June at the Flower Festival

Lots of cousing to have fun with after the wedding at the luncheon

Nancy is an amazing Mom who made all the wedding party dresses. We so enjoy visiting with her and Mike. It seems like yesterday they were getting married.

Kelly looked so bueatiful and in love. We were so glad to meet Lucas who looked just as tidderpadded as Kelly.

Paul and I were able to visit Las Vegas for our neice Kelly's wedding. Kelly and Lucas got married in the Las Vegas Temple which is such a bueatiful site to get married in.

We love Arizona

Arizona is such a fun place to live and play in, especially in the Spring. Here is Adam and a bunch of his possie hanging out in the Mongollon Rim country. They had a Scout Mt. Man Rendezdous campout. Adam won King Trader and came home with some cool stuff like Mt. Man knifes, walking sticks and alot of dirty clothes.

Paul was able to break away from work and join Adam and his gang at camp. Paul said The boys had alot of fun to tossing cabers, shooting black powdered rifles, packing up mules and throw ing hatchets. Erich and I went to the movies and dinner while Adam and Dad played and decided we much rather stay home then sleep on the ground.

The boys went away another weekend to a snow campout so Paul and I decided to head up to canyon lake with the tent trailer. The lake is only 30 min away and the weather was buetiful. We actually went with another couple who also has a tent trailer and had a great time. All you people who live in Utah eat your heart out.

We got up on Saturday and had breadfast at Tortilla Flats. What a fun restaurant. All the walls were covered with 1 dollar bills. Then we rented a boat and went for ride around the lake. We actually got sun burnt and loved every moment.

Paul and I really enjoyed boating and want to go back in the summer so we can go swimming with all our family. Maybe a family reunion would be fun to try at the lake. Are family has a goal to try and see all of Arizona with the tent trailer. We are well on our way and even bought a huge map downstairs where we are keeping track of all our trips.

Tea for Two little girls

Jocelyn and Emma decided it would be fun to have a tea party with grandma during Superbowl Sunday. So we left everyone at Bryan's and Lindsay and went to Grandma's house to have lots of chocolate covered strawberries. The invitation said the dress was formal with crowns as mandatory head wear. Rhinestones were the jewels of choice for the afternoon and the girls looked fabulous.

The guest list only included real princesses. Princess Jocelyn and Princess Emma enjoyed the fairy tale tea party.

Chase and PaPa

PaPa and Chase love to hang out and play ball. Chase can run rings around PaPa

I'm Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!



Well here it is................ my first blog. Thank you Amy for teaching me how to navigate this website. I will most likley get lost so if no one heres from me, send out a search party because most likly I am some where in cyber space.



Today was Tate's 4th birthday and we went to his Birthday Party and then invited everyone over afterwards for a Santa Maria style Bar-B-Que. It had been a while since we Bar-B-Qued and it tasted heavenly. I think everyone else thought so to because they inhaled the food and there was no left overs.



I finished my class on Human Resources this week and I am waiting for my grade. It was a new experience for me, to be back in school after 30 years. I have alot more sympothy for my boys now when they moan and groan about homework. I have decided to go for my HR certificate and I am checking out local schools. Safeway will reinburse me for 85% of my cost so I have no reasons not to. The funny thing is that I always swore I would never go to school but I feel that this is what Heavenly Father wants me to do.
