Plenty of pictures but no post.

I have put a bunch of new pictures on my blog and had every intention to blog about them weeks ago but one thing leads to another and I didn't get around to it.
I had the 31st aniversary of my 29 th Birthday and my kids gave me a party That was fun.
We went to the Zoo one day and that was fun. Now little C.J. keeps asking me to take him to the zoo every time I see him.
We took the Grandsons up to Wyoming to brand the Cows and that was way fun. I think they had a good time even though there is no T.V. Some of us that were not in a big hurry to get back to the ranch saw a moose. The kids realy liked that.
Nathan's brother inlaw made a huge Ship that is going to be used in a movie and when they were done with it he got to keep the ship. What a fun house that is to visit. He also has a space ship and a Flintstone car it's made on an old jeep body so it runs.
I got new quilts back and I even got them bound before the week was out, I'm doing good.
Brent went back to work 40 hrs a week and my work has picked up so thats good.
Brent was made the executive secretary in our ward yesterday so I will never see him again. (not so good ) but I look forward to at least one night a week to my self and thats good.
We had a fun Mothers day BBQ at Jennifer's and I didn't get any pictures.
Oh and Annika got married so Gary and Lena came over from Sweden for that It was fun to see them again.
Very good news is that it looks like Jennifer and Trevor will get a new baby in Aug. It's another boy that will be 5 grand sons so we are holding out hope for Alex and Megan who will have a baby in Oct. we don't know what yet.
And very Sad news Alex will be sent to Bagdad in June he may not be here for the baby's birth.
I try not to think about it but it has come up awful fast.
Well that is about all we have been doing I swear I'm going to post more often. I'm not checking my spelling because it is so late I'm falling to sleep.

A Trip To the Aqurium

We had such fun last week when we took the Grand Kids to the Aqurium. C.J. is in love with fish ever since he discovered the movie finding Nemo. He stood at the shark tank for ever but he wanted to have his Dad right there behind him to save him if anything went wrong. It was so cute. The Boys all had a great time until I got the camera out and wanted to take their picture.
All our nieces seem to have decided to get married at once, So it was Patty's wedding On the 10th. It was a beautiful wedding and we are so happy for her. Kirsten is getting married April 1st, and Annika is getting married the first of May.
My other project of the week last week was a Valentine table runner which I finished about 4 days before Valentines Day (this is good I finished the Halloween one two years after I started it and the Thanksgivint one the week after Thanksgiving.) I guess I better go get started on an Easter one.

Just Rambling

Well It has been forever since I have bloged, I hope I can remember how to do it. We had a fun Fall and a Nice Christmas. Things didn't go as smoothly as planed but there is always next year. I worked more than I wanted to and I hurt my back and was down for a few days. I'm not going to talk about all my aches and pains though it just makes me mad at my body.
We found out that Alex will be going to Iraq in June. He will be at an Air base outside of Bagdad. We have heard this is a pretty safe area.
We have had many sleep overs over the holidays with our four little boys. We enjoy them so much and can't believe how much they are growing. C.J. wants a bubble bath as soon as he comes over we try to stall him but he won't give up. Kaden will we 12 in Feb. he is almost taller than his mom. Carter just turned 9 and wanted Grandma to get him a pogo stick for his birthday. I told him I would and he asked his mom over and over do you think Grandma will get me a pogo stick? Carson is 7 and he is the baby sitter he loves C.J. and wants to take care of him all the time.
I hope we get some snow soon and clean this stinking air out of the valley and help with the water situation, but I am so ready for Spring, and hopeing for just one pain free night.
