New Family Member!

Yesterday Michael and I became "Great Grandparents"! Our grandaughter, Reanna, gave birth to Icelynn Dawn Glover. She was 7lb 3oz and is 19" long...has lots of pretty dark hair and looks exactly like her mother did when she was born! She is beautiful!

She came in to the world with what they call wet lung and is having respiratory problems so they have her in the nursery on oxygen and we aren't sure at this point when she will get to go home. With the wetness in her lungs, when she breathes her lungs stick together. Besides the oxygen they have her on some antibiotics to prevent infection in the lungs. We couldn't go in the nursery so our daughter Bonnie (the new grandma) took our camera in and got some pics for us. We were able to see her through the nursery window though and she is a pretty one!

Here are a couple of pics to show her off! One is of our daughter, Bonnie, holding the new grandaughter!

We love you Reanna and welcome to the family Icelynn!

Moab Weekend

Labor Day weekend Michael and I went to Moab for a little R&R! The second day we were there we did a 4-wheelin' hummer tour. They took us up the mountains on some pretty steep hills, and at the top we relaxed a little and watched the most incredible sunset! Then we got to go back down the mountains and all those steep hills IN THE DARK!!!! Michael absolutely loved it! There were parts of it that I thought were pretty cool too but I guarantee you....I will never do that again! Been there, done that...that's all I have to say!

Happy Birthday to you Mom!

We had a surprise birthday party last night for my mom's 90th birthday! She was very surprised and said she was truly blessed to have such a great family and she loved us all very much! Here are some pics of most of the kids/grandkids & great-grandkids that came. Happy Birthday Mom...I love you!

Firepit Christening Night!

Well, we finished the firepit today (except for the grate) and decided to have a christening tonight! We roasted wienies and marshmallows and had s'mores! It was so much fun, I'm glad we finally got this project going! We still have a big stone patio to do but we can enjoy the fires in the meantime.

Ellie loved the "marsh allows"

Weekend Warriors!

After almost a year of talking about and planning for, we started our backyard firepit today! We both ache like crazy tonight...hauling, lifting and placing these rocks is a lot more work than I ever thought it would be! But we are both very excited about it now and anxious to work some more on it later.

Living Planet Aquarium

On Sunday Michael and I took our oldest grandaughter, Teresa, and our youngest grandaughter, Ellie, to the aquarium to see the new penguin display! We had so much fun with the girls, they are such great kids! I'm so lucky to be their Grammy!

Winter Wonderland

These pictures don't show it very well but this morning everything was white, frosty and frozen! It looked so pretty like all the trees were crystal! It was COLD, but it was pretty.
