Catching Up!

Brother! I really suck at this blogging thing. I do love to see other blogs and most especially the pictures, so you would think I would try harder to keep mine current.
We spent our 21st anniversary by going to Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Park City. It was a beautiful drive, the snow made everything look like a winter wonderland.
I miss Brandie and Lancer and families!
We really have had a busy holiday. Christmas day was a bit lonely with out Lance and Brandie and their families thank heaven for the web cam! We had our Christmas Eve party complete with the snowball eating contest and the usual goodies. Othea spent the night (she has no choice after 21 years). We spent Christmas day at Marty's and hit Tiffany's that evening.
I really miss seeing Brandie, Josh, Izzie, Lancer, Brooke, Sydney, Carys and Elyse!
My Uncle Leon passed away and the funeral was that SSaturday. So we postponed our trip to Arizona a few days. Uncle Leon was a special guy and an admired uncle. I will especially miss driving into the "fields of Spanish Fork" (Uncle Dean's) to park the motor home. He was always there with a welcome smile and ready to help me hook up! I learned a lot from him around the "campfire" too.
Have I mentioned how much I miss my kids?
New Years was spent in the warmth of Phoenix with Wendy. We stayed for two weeks. Rick really wanted to stay longer but I needed a grand baby fix. We always have so much fun at Wendy's. She made me exercise everyday...and best of all,she made me laugh everyday! Her and David gave Mom and Dad tickets to the Lion King for Christmas. We were able to get some tickets and go with them. We went to dinner at some little steakhouse before the play. We all voted it to be one of the best steaks eaten in a long time! It was the first time I had seen the Lion King and it truly was awesome!
I sure wish I could have taken all my grand kids to see it, they would have loved it!
Rickey's Mom passed away a week and a half ago. All our sincere sympathies and well wishes go to all of their family. We really are lucky to have Rickey, Tiffany and Lil Rickey close. We love spending time with them. I love watching Rickey several days a week, it really is the highlight of our week. She absolutely adores Grampa!
I would love to watch the other girls too!
So it's been two weeks since we left AZ and it was time for Wendy to come here. We really can't go very long without seeing each other. We've been having lots of fun. We seem to eat allot! Well and laugh allot too. We all went to Curt's tonight to watch the Superbowl. Of course the girls ended up down stairs playing rock band instead.
We really needed Brandie and Lance's families there!
The best news I have is two fold! Number one, Tiffany is going to give me another grand baby in September! She has been a bit "grey" the last couple weeks so it's hart to hide it! Hope she has gotten a hold of Lance and Brooke by now or I'm in trouble for letting the cat out of the bag. Number two, Brandie is coming home for her birthday. She and Isabel will be here the 10th thru the 20th. We will be celebrating her birthday big time. I can hardly wait.
In case I haven't mentioned it lately, or you can't tell, my "family" is the absolute breath I take! My kids have always been my life! Now my Joy is complete with the "five little girls"! I love you all!
