GRANDMA HAD A BIRTHDAY....WOO HOO!

So here is the story....I went up to Burley, Id and spent the weekend with some very dear friends....we have always spent our birthdays together because we all have b-days in October, however we haven't been together in years so this was really an occasion .....shared a lot of memories and of course laughed most of the weekend....great start for my birthday!

So now on my actual birthday Kathy took us up to the Stratosphere Tower for dinner....of my gosh what a awesome view....had a window table awesome.....the tower takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to make a complete turn so we kept looking at different sites couldn't find the temple.
Dad and I waiting for dinner....took a long time....they didn't want you to miss any sites! While we were waiting the moon came up....oh it was so pretty we couldn't get the picture to come out though.
After dinner we went outside it was cold and windy but still beautiful.
Had to put the Grandpa in a wheel chair and we had a great pusher.....Bruce! thank you Bruce good job!
Here's the gang....you know what I always say "were making a memory" well we certainly did and I can only say Thank you sweet daughter for the wonderful memory you gave us....It was wonderful love you!

LABOR DAY FAMILY FUN!

Okay so Autumn covered most of the pictures for the week end so I won't try to put the same ones so what I am going to do is share some thoughts.

So here is the story.....I have had so many good years skiing and now I can't do it so it is really hard to watch everyone doing what I love so much..I really miss the rush of a good ski on nice glassy water....but oh well memories will have to do.....so here is what I do now I have my nifty wave runner not quite the same rush but lots of fun.

So what does one do when not on the toys .....we swim and stay cool!
Or you might just jump on the toy and go see what the young folks are doing......
Yah it's Melissa learning to wake board go Melissa!
And then there is Kenzie doing a good job.....and yes it is fun to ride along and and scare them and have fun with the wake......
Here is the parting shot.....Autumn took this one I just love it....nothing finer than fishing with Grandpa....Hunter was really excited to catch fish.....so this is what it is all about .....it's about family being together and having fun and making memories....doesn't get better than that. Love you guys it was a great weekend!
