WICKED!

Well I got to see the play 'wicked' and it was totally aaaaawwwwsome! I 'm really glad we listened to the CD first even though we were lost listening it all made sense when we finally saw the play.
OK, so, I'm a people watcher and I think I enjoyed watching all the people walking to the Gammage and then inside watching all the pipples and how they dressed up or not dressed up. One girl was there in what looked like a prom dress. I guess I shouldn't snicker too much since I wore my reeeally bright pink dress from Hawaii.....Casual but nice (I thought). I've decided I want to see that play again sometime. Thanks Tev and Bret for the tickets for M-day and D-day that was very, very, very nice of you two.
Just so any of you might want to know Granny was in the hospital again on Friday night. She was having some intense pain in her left arm so she thought she should drive herself to the hospital. After being checked out her heart is fine but....she had a urinary tract infection so now her kidneys are hurting and she has to be on antibiotics. We left from Tevs in the early afternoon and went down to Claypool and got Granny taken care of. She's getting pretty discouraged because things keep falling apart on her. She thought since she was fixed up from her heart attacks she would be going for a few more miles in good shape. I just said " Sorry mom, your old and falling apart that's just the way it is and you're actually doing pretty good for what you've been through so buckle up buckaroo". I know, I know it's gonna happen to all of us....ARGH! Drinette Ellison said getting old is not a pretty sight, nooootttt very comforting. Anyhoooo Jim stopped by with his family and he climbed on the roof and fixed grannie's cooler so now she's a little more comfy than before. Good Ol Jim.
It's thundering and lightening right now so I guess I better get off the computer. (I'm not sitting on it, but you know what I mean). Can't wait for Risa and Mexico, in that order. TA!

AHOY! I Sail, I'm Sailing

Well not really sailing as much as paddling. We bought this paddle boat Saturday and thought we would take it for a spin around Show Low lake. It was sooooo much fun! and good exercise too. We saw Jenny and her family (use to be Wilhelm) and they go to the lake quite a bit and kayak etc...I can't believe how many people camp and play on that lake now! It's crazy, after living here all these years and now the lake is a popular place. We also saw a pontoon boat that holds about 8 pipples and we decided we would like one of those too so we'll see what happens.

Granny came up to visit and get a perm and go to a single adult conference and visit her brother and go to the temple. She looked so good and was very happy to see a lot of people she knew. I'm so glad she's feeling better and getting around on her own again.
This was a great weekend for me. I got to go to lunch with Amanda, attend my book club thing, buy a paddle boat and go paddling, have granny visit etc....etc...etc...
That's all for now until I get another blog bug....so TA!

What a week!

WOW! What can I say after reading Tevs blog but I have to agree with her that we had an amazing relaxing time out at camp and the fireworks were pretty fun too.
I also wish more family and or friends could have been there but what the heck you do what you can do when you can do it! I am always grateful for the pockets of time I get to spend with any of my kids. Even though we don't have many chances to be all together I'm just glad for what I can get. Some time with some of them is better than no time.
Just so ya'll all know Tevia basically kicked our trash playing horseshoes. She got five ringers total I had three and Thad got two so yeah one can understand why that was her favorite thing to do. I really enjoyed the time spent with the boys they're so funny and just sweet. I hope we can camp again sometime soon, I know it won't be the same but it will still be fun. The best part of the fireworks was watching the boys running around wild and free with their new friends and even better I got to visit with a very good friend that I hadn't seen in years. He was a DPS officer up here for a long time and I also had gone to school with him and his wife. We caught up on a lot of years. I actually got to see quite a few people and had fun visiting with old friends and new ones that we made there. All in all it was a most enjoyable time. Can't wait for the next time! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July, best Holiday EV.....ER!!!!......no seriously it's my favortite holiday.

Pre fourth of July post

Well I woke up early today (used to always hear about 'old people' getting up early and thought that's just crazy!) and decided to check email etc....aaaaand decided I would post something. I'm hoping to get the rest of our camping stuff packed so we can leave when Thad gets off shift. I have been looking so forward to this campout, even though the majority of the people who were coming have pooped out on us. I told Thad "God willing and the creek don't rise" we are still going. I just love to cook in the dutch ovens and sit by the fire, play horseshoes, ride bikes and just hang out. I'm really looking forward to Tev and her fam coming. Quentin informed me that he and his little fam might come out on Thursday and spend some time....yaaaaaaay! SOMEDAY all or most of our fam wil be able to camp together like old times. Just want all you kids to know that I miss all of you and look forward to seeing ya'll whenever I can. Have a wonderful fourth of July in this great and blessed land that we live in, well except Risa and Nephi since they're out of the country but they can still have a good time regardless. Love to all!!! MOM
