Miracles!!

When Jaim and Jody got married on our trip to Las Vegas to see the BYU vs UNLV game... we took a bunch of pictures. Then I thought that my sandisk with them on it became corrupted and all of the pictures were gone. Yesterday as I tried to take pictures to post here for the Thanksgiving Holiday my camera said it was full. I have tried to download them before to no avail but this time I decided to delete after download and that seemed to be the trick. All these photos just kept pouring out of the camera and it was so great! I love it when things seem to "heal" themselves. So here are the pictures that I had been so upset that got away! Congratulations Jaim and Jody! All our best wishes go out to you

"You know you are in Virginia when you have Easter Egg hunt on the Beach"

Tyler, Charlotte and the children came for Spring Break. Ollie found everyone's Easter basket but his the night they arrived, that's because his was hiding in the pantry which he found the Saturday morning before Easter, which is our tradition. We always thought it was too hard to have Easter Baskets and then get ready for church. Micah, Stephanie and Max came down too!


















Then some friends from church came for and Easter Egg hunt on the beach. The title quote came from one of the ladies, who told her mom in Idaho they were going to have an egg hunt with us.
The older children hid plastic eggs and the smaller children found them, with some help.































Micah flew his kite.

















Then we decorated eggs after the hunt.







Aunt Stephanie helped


















































How can a face like this scream on a plane for 4 hours???

















We are grateful that you came, we just loved it!

On The "Road" Again!

Here we go again!
People in the neighborhood are perplexed that no one seems to stay in this house very long, of course the last residents husband died is why she sold it.... we have happier prospects than that one. Its a wonderful house and we have really enjoyed it.
Tyler and Charlotte and family are coming for Easter and we are just thrilled. Hoping the weather will be wonderful and that there are plenty of boats. We are going to just have "so much fun", and "that is something to be happy about"!

Good Times!!

Rob called one night with information that he had tickets from Chelsie for us. He couldn't go but thought my mom might like to. She had plans to travel to Colorado and it seems that a woman in her eighties can't travel two weeks in a row??
Even though she REALLLY wanted to...
I didn't think I would go either, Stephanie mentioned she had a free ticket to fly.... the rest is a memory of one FABULOUS weekend.

We thought until 1:00 pm of the night of the show (Monday)that we only had 2 tickets, that is until we called Christopher Hightower and asked if he had any tips for us since they had just been there. "You do know that Chelsie has 4 tickets in total for you guys and 4 for Tuesday night also..." We needed to be in our seats by 4:00 pm we called Laura. She and Tim were miracle workers somehow they got their children taken care of and came looking fabulous. Here they are getting their wrist bands. As we went in, they took our phones and cameras and we didn't get them back until we had to go outside. They wouldn't let us back in to take pictures, so we took pictures at the back doors as the dancers went to their trailers.







We didn't really know who this guy was??











The last of the evening we wished Stephanie a very happy birthday at the Cheesecake Factory! We went there with Kathy, Laurie's sister, her daughter and son-in-law and Chelsie's Grand dad, Bro Pullen from Las Vegas. It was good to see them again.
It was a great weekend and it has taken several days to recover from the cheering and the booing at the show and the 7 plus hours of flying. FYI the seats right in front of the exit row do not recline! Not good on a long flight.
HOtWire is wonderful and there are other carriers besides SouthWest who knew though Continental does have movies, but they charge $15.00 per bag each way.
