Thanksgiving

This year Ted and I decided to go away for turkey day. We drove up the coast and stayed at the Apple Farm Inn, in San Luis Obispo.

Trunk or Treat

Friday night, Kurt, Mara ,Taylor and Grandma went to the church for trunk or treat. At first she was not so excited about the adventure, but after going to the first car and getting candy she was hooked. Her favorite was a sucker. She held on to that sucker the whole night, not even licking it. At each car she would stop, put down her bucket and reach in to get her candy all the while holding tightly to her sucker.

The Great Grand Kids

All of the great grand kids were together getting love from Great Grandpa and Grandma!

Memorial Day Weekend

We finally made it on the annual camp trip to McGee creek with April & Jason. They have been trying to get us to come for several years now. We borrowed Peggy & Jim's motorhome. It was very fun. I even hiked 6 miles to Beaver pond.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was very special to me this year. It has been along time since I have had all my children and their spouses together at one time. We went to Jason and April's new house in Corona. It was especially nice to have someone else do all the work for a change.

Cari's House

I guess if we go back far enough the first thing that happened was that Cari decided that commuting from Provo to Salt Lake everyday was getting very tiresome. So she decided to move to SLC. Well, she found a cute 1901 house up in the avenues. Ted and I went up in March at the close of escrow and helped her move in.

I know that it has been quite some time since I changed this blog. There has been so much happening in the family in the last few months that it is taking some thought as to how to incorporate them all. Look for more updates soon.

Thanksgiving

What a crowd! We had a great time with all 22 of us. Our whole family was there along with Mara's parents and two brothers. This is what the holidays are all about families.
