FAST TRIP TO COLORADO

Well, our Colorado trip in March turned out to be in February. We were going down in March to celebrate Uncle Warren Shepherd's 95th birthday. His health started to get worse so all the people in Denver decided to have it in February. Thanks to Sheri and Brain Johanson we had a place to stay. As you can see on the right, it was pretty nice. Before we left we ended up with Dereck, Camey and Camey's boyfriend. Oh and one more thing Camey's snowboard. There was a three day holiday so it was just the right time for the college kids to get a ride with us. On top of all of that, Dereck got a lot of his things done for his mission, passport, dental. We had a really nice visit with their family. Brain was even there so it was perfect.

As you can see at the top left Uncle Wareen is not as spry as he used to be. I do have to say, although he has mellowed out, you can still see that look in his eyes. When I see that look, I always wonder what trouble he is going to get into. The party turned out really nice. A lot of people turned out. It was nice visiting with all of them. We don't keep in touch much and that is sad.

We also got out to see the people in Broomfield. The family has put Aunt Lucille in a Senior Living center. She could not live a lone anymore. Grandma's house is falling down. We had a good visit with my cousins Bill and Kathy.

Well time goes on and each of us get older, but it is sad to see all the people that you love from the past go on to the next life. Thank goodness we were able to see Uncle Warren before he passes away. It is always better to see them before than after.

OLD AGE IS HARD TO TAKE

Thank you all so much for the new ipod. I love it, just as soon as I learn how to use it. I am getting better. Boy I am finally a senior. What can I say, am I happy about that? I don't know how I feel. Sometimes old age has it's perks and sometimes not. My body sags and my eyes aren't so good, but some one said to me yesterday "my mind and spirit" are good. What more can you ask for. I don't really feel older inside. I like all the things I liked when I was younger, but when I look in the mirror I see someone different. Maybe mirrors aren't a good thing. I do get a discount at the movies and thats a good thing. As I look back on my life I have come a long way and am proud of what I have done. I've come long way baby! It is nice to look back and see my life so far. It has been exciting, hard, and with many different roads. I guess it's not to bad being older, look at my fine family and the joy they bring into my life. There are many seasons in a life and right now I am enjoying the season I am in.......Thank you all for being you and making my life exciting and great!!

HOW CAN HE BE 8!!!!!

Isn't she beautful. Shireen was baptized on Sat Jan. 31, 2009. It was a perfect day. Families from both sides were there. Of course all of us thought she was really pretty in her white dress. We all might have been a little biased because we think all our grandkids are the best. I am so thankful that she decided to take this step in her life. I know that it is the right step. I also know that Heavenly Father will be with her for the rest of her life as long as she lives right. All I can say the older she gets the older we get and sometmes that is not good. We love our whole family and are very thankful for them. It's great to be a grandparent.....

JUST A LITTLE COLD!!!!!

This is where we spent out Saturday. It is beautiful, but really cold. I think from now on I will do summers at Tori's and winters at St. George. Just look at the tree, all it is ice. Ice cubes are not for me......
