Bouquet given to me by my hubby last month.
Join Gigi for Cell Phone Saturday

MY GREATEST BLESSINGS

Call me GRANDMA!

We enjoyed an evening in a hotel with a swimming pool.

We were there to celebrate our oldest grandsons ordination to the Aaronic Priesthood.
Two adjoining hotel rooms, lots of running, two pizzas and two hours worth of Puss 'n Boots...

and then....

....the sound of SILENCE!

Congratulations Josh!
We are so proud of you!

It was so fun to get together.

We missed the middlest son.
AND a picture of ALL SEVEN GRANDKIDS!

Oh wait....see the bump on the right?
Make that grandbaby #8!
It was a blessed weekend.

{CELL PHONE} SATURDAY

Joining up with Gigi for CELL PHONE SATURDAY.

SERIOUSLY?

SERIOUSLY!
We're serious about the law in these parts!

I about stepped on this coming out my front door.

My neighbor Ruth knows me.

She knows I {heart} brown bubbles.

COULD IT REALLY BE SPRING?

Last week:

Today:

I'm not complaining.
It is 64 degrees!
The "girls" aren't complaining either.

"Thanks girls!"

There's an egg in the nesting box!
(Yes, the nesting boxes have carpet)
These are some tomato and cabbage seeds I planted last week.

I'm OK with an early Spring.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!!

12 YEARS OLD!

You turned me into a grandma!

We love you!
We are proud of you!

I hope you have a Happy Birthday!
AND
Happy Birthday to Guen!
Sweet daughter-in-love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!

How is it that you are already 6?
The first girl in a family of three older brothers.

I think you were born with a smile!

Sweet BIG brown eyes!

AND ALWAYS SMILING!!!

Well....almost always.
When you aren't smiling you are a force to be reckoned with!

Happy Birthday little Lass!
Grandchildren are such a blessing.

As a sidenote, if you feel so inclined, please go to Connie's blog and Camille's blog. They could use your prayers and love right now.

I DID WHAT?????

Today I played in the dirt.
I love dirt.
I love earth.
It was 54 degrees!
Unheard of in this frozen wasteland part of the planet.
Winter usually drags on
and on
and on.
But just for today...
I pretended that Spring is tomorrow.

I planted peas, radishes and lettuce.

It is supposed snow tomorrow
and will probably last for months...

But just for today

my hands are dirty.

And I needed that.

WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHY?

WHO?

WHAT?
To listen to writers and storytellers.

WHERE?
Warm and sunny Salt Lake!

WHY?
For the food of course!

I also learned in one of the classes that you can post too many pictures.
Define "too many".
And the song PENNY CANDY LOVE keeps going through my mind!

Shoulder to shoulder.
