Fun in Cedar

I had a wonderful time visiting with Ben, Mandi, and Ryker in Cedar last week. I got to spoil Ryker for a couple of days while I was babysitting. He is the cutest kid! I have never seen anyone run faster at his age than him! He loves to go for walks in the park with me in the morning, and I can get him to sleep by just holding him for a few minutes at nap time! Mandi and I have fun together too! Ben was able to spend a little time at home even though he was on a fire. It was great to see him!

A special day!

UPS delivered a beautiful bunch of roses today from Kevin. He had a day out on Saturday with Jason Rampton and he must have ordered them then. There was a card that said, "Thanks for everything you have ever done for me mom." I'm so proud of him, and so happy for being his mom!

We put an offer on 2 different houses today. And I got offered a job at Shelly Elementary in American Fork.

Next week Adam, Mindy, Caden, and Ambree are coming and we are doing a mini reunion in Cedar City with Mandi, Ben, and Ryker. We are planning on seeing Tarzan at Tuachaun, and doing some adventures in Zion.

Then the Jonsson Family reunion in coming up the 2nd week of August.

So many good things are happening right now.

Family Time

We have had a fun time together! We have been swimming everyday. Adam and Mindy have cooked some yummy food. I watched the kids so Adam and Mindy could go to the movie together, and we made cookies while they were gone. We went shopping at Costco and pet stores, watched movies, and I have killed over a thousand bad guys with Caden. He sets up all these action figures and we knock them down! His favorite game!
I really do have the cutest grandkids in the world! I'm so blessed to be able to spend time with Ryker, Ambree, and Caden. They bring such joy into my life.
It has been over 110 degrees here, and walking outside is like opening an oven, but I'm loving the blue skies everyday!
Couldn't ask for better daughters in laws either!

Texas

We went camping at the lake. It was over a hundred degrees, but cooling off in the lake was nice. Adam fixed us a nice dinner of shrimp and beef. We went for a walk and while we were gone these raccoons came into the camp and made a huge mess. Even when Adam was throwing logs at them they weren't scared of us. They were really creepy!

We spent the night, and then got up and swam some more in the lake with the fish and turtles. It was a fun trip!

Baldy

 

I dragged Rich up Baldy this morning for a little hike. 1 hour and 40 minutes top to bottom! It was a partly sunny day, so really nice. We saw a mother ptarmigan and her 6 babies. Luckily, we saw no bears. I'm going to miss hiking in Alaska!
