Grandpa's 75th Birthday Events

Mark, we see you don't be camera shy, oh you are just checking out the calendar of events.





Sarah what are we doing here with all these old fogies. Maybe we kind of like their company!






Not fair Natalie, hiding your pretty face behind your camera.






That is what we like to see: " Happy Birthday Pa!"






Sarah's famous belly shot, check out the mirror. Little Annika was born the next day. A surprise to all of us.






Happy 75th Birthday Grandpa!

Well here we are again at Snow Basin again enjoying another great day and honoring Grandpa Tom for his 75th mile stone. Hard to believe we are in the twilight of our lives, which we have mostly spent together. Seems just yesterday our children were little and now we are welcoming our Great Grand Children. July was a great month for that, Addison turned one, little Joshua and Annika were born. We will be celebrating 4 birthdays in one week, we may get a little tired of Birthday Cake...

To add to Grandpa's Birthday fun, Tommy and Cheri who could not be with us a Snow Basin, took us to Iggy's Sports Bar & Grill for dinner, then we all we to the Pioneer Days Ogden Rodeo. It was hot early on but cooled down after the sun went down. The Bulls really put on a show, I believe there was only one or two riders the rode the full 8 seconds. Dad really enjoyed this as he rode bulls himself in his early years, then marriage and children got in the way, and his exciting challenge ended.

Our children gave him the best Birthday of all, their time!

Happy Birthday Addison

One Fun WeeK

Well this last week was a great week. Tuesday Cindee and I drove to Idaho to see baby Joshua, and his is a cute one. It was so much fun to hold him and just watch him sleep. We took Abigail to the park, and I swear she never winds down. She was on the slides and in the swings; just a busy little bee. The park was part of a college campus and very pretty place, except for a good crop of thistles growing in the lawn. They were small and the same color as the grass so you had to be careful where you stepped or you might get a good poke. There was a beautiful Rose Garden there, and Fountains and Lilly Ponds. Abigail just knew all the Princesses and Fairy's lived there. It was a good half miles hike from the play ground and Kelly thought Abigail would surely take a well deserved nap after that hike, but that was wishful thinking on his part. She was not about to give up so easily, so Cindee and I decided to leave, to come home so they could get things back to normal. It was good seeing all of them.
Saturday we had Sarah Jean's baby shower at Natalie's. We had a good time and got to visit with family, she got a lot of nice gifts; I will let her blog about those things. She thinks she is huge but she is just a nice size. I am sure the heat is killing her, that is one thing I have never forgotten about being pregnant all summer, even after all the years.
