Highlight of the week.....

I was so excited to see the grandchildren after a week away. I finished the Little Red Riding Hood for Lexy, and she was so happy. She and her grandfather headed for the living room to play Little Red Riding Hood! Certainly makes it all worth while.

Here is Dawson showing off his new hat and T-shirt that we brought back from the Grand Canyon. Do you think he likes it? Just look at that smile.
Brooklynn shows off her new shirt and bracelet that we gave her.

Here are all three with their new gifts. The smiles certainly tells us they liked them.

Brooklynn gives such great hugs. She really puts her "all" into them. I'll take one anytime she has one.

It was great to get away, but I was so happy to be home, and see the grandchildren. They always bring such joy and happiness into my day. I hope it always stays that way.

What a week!

What a week! Great time, unbelievable sights, awesome scenery, wonderful memories. Here are just a few highlights from our week in Las Vegas.

The Mirage-saw Cirque de Soleil-Love! Fantastic!

Red Rock Canyon
Scenery in the neighborhood.

Entering West Rim of Grand Canyon.

Guano Point Lookout.

Breathtaking.

Canyon view with Colorado river below.

Hoover Dam- new bridge construction- amazing.

The girls on the dam.

Wow! We took in so much, and made some fantastic memories. The Grand Canyon was an emotional journey for me. Thirty years ago, Ken and I honeymooned there, and to return 30 years later, and see that, like our relationship, it has endured, and means even more to me now. Ken is MY rock, my security, and I love my life because of him.

If you ever get the chance to see the canyon and all it's beauty, do it!

After the storm....again

As you can see, we got more snow today, but no where near what they were predicting. Ken's formula of take what they predict, divide by 2 and add 1 is just about right for today. I'd say around 6 inches. Yup, and they were predicting 10-14. You do the math.

The hot tub will need some cleaning off before we can enjoy it. Probably not tonight, but hopefully tomorrow.

What a difference some rain makes!

Well, first we got snow, and then we got rain. You can see how much snow we lost just over the past couple days. Almost looks like green grass out there.

And the hot tub is all cleared off, too. However, nothing stays the same for very long. Another 8-10 inches of snow and ice are in the forecast for tomorrow. Will it ever end? I guess March is coming in like a lion. Maybe we'll have an early and long summer to make up for all this white stuff.

Gram and Gramp, sorry I didn't have a chance to take any new pictures of the kids. Maybe this week they'll be here for a visit.
