I thought I'd ask you girls what you think...

I was wondering what you think of the cabinet under the picture. Is it too much? A little overwhelming? Gizmo saw it but I was wondering what Darci and Cortney think.

Look who "crashed" Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Family, food and FUN! Yep, Big Blue and Fuzz Head came for a visit searching for their favorite cookies. They were not disappointed...I didn't get pictures of them eating the cookies, but download them they did! Grandma and Grandpa will always keep a stach on hand!

Big Blue playing around just before having a bath. Look closely around her mouth...evidence of her downloading the cookies.

Fuzz Head having a good time going up and down and back and forth at the dinner table. He sure knows the alphabet and phonics...{smarty pants}tee hee
We sure did appreciate the visit and FUN!

The Mango Tango challenge!

We had our fish night on Monday night this week. I was anxious to try the mango salsa on other foods besides chips. We invited Ryan and Chelsea to our mango tango night! We had good conversation and good food! We grilled salmon and then I dished on the Mango Salsa! Delicious! It was even tasty on the fried shrimp.

Our sad looking salmon without the mango...I also tried to get Randy to dance the tango but no go...He said he was too full! Thanks again Darci for the great ideas! Now I'm going to try it on pork chops! No limits on this salsa!

YEAH! My birthday gift from Darci!

I got my gift from Darci and family today! I was soooo afraid it had been lost in the mail. I got a darling birthday card made by them with their hand prints and some wonderful "art work"from the boys, too. I also received some added pics of the gang! I'm sooo glad this package didn't get lost! Thank you Sister Pooh...I LOVE IT~

All I need now is the picture frame Cortney has made me and for Giz to make one so that I can begin filling my walls with family! I've got lots of wall space! {hint hint}

I will tell you Darci that we had a real time of it getting the package open! I was so anxious to see what was inside and it was taped so well I was afraid we'd never get it open! I'm also glad that I didn't know what it was you were sending...I would have been really depressed to think I almost lost it!

A wonderful gift for me for my birthday...

Kimberly and family gave me this grandmother plate for my 54 years. She said she knew it would look good on the mantel and she was right.

I took a closeup so it could be read. I love what it says and I think of my wonderful grandchildren every time I see it! Thank you Giz!

Cyclone 30...Jolly Mesa

This is a pic of New Castle as I'm on top of Jolly Mesa looking down at it! The sun is rising and if you keep traveling NE for another twenty miles you'll arrive in Glenwood Springs. In four years, I have never been up Jolly Mesa so this was a new area for me.

This is a pic I took of New Castle before the sun rose. We had had a snow storm the day before. Today I was the first one up here except for the dozer.

This is Jake. As you can see it was snowing a bit...He is bobtailing this piece. Normally this piece wouldn't be as high or as wide and it would be under a trailer.

This is Cody in a twin steer truck. He is bobtailing this piece...

This is the third day and one of the last pieces to be moved. Aaron and Paul are two trucking the A-legs along with the derrick. This is exciting to see. Usually the A-legs and derrick is broken down into sections but since this was on top with no power lines or overpasses to have to clear, they kept it altogether to move it. This makes rigging up faster, etc. This was day three and the snow storms were over. It was a beautiful day and you could see for miles in every direction.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you and hope you have a wonderful birthday! We made you a butterfly cake in your honor! Any excuse for me to make and decorate a cake huh?! We love you! Have a great one!

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
