Grandma & J.T's Trip to Utah with the Cousins

This Picture of Kaylee and J.T. is Hilarious, they have a jail at Thanksgiving Point. It was $2.00 Tuesday and it was packed full of people. I had to hurry and snap this and hope it turned out! all the kids loved going to jail!!!

Naturally in the whole place J.T. would find a tractor and want to ride it, even though we couldn't. I kept telling him it wasn't ours!!! He Thew a big tizzy over that one. I think I can thank his father, he loves all these contraptions.

J. T.'s dad didn't think he would like to ride the horses, he said they have tried with him in Sacramento and he said he didn't want anything to do with them. I must admit he loved them. He kept wanting to ride them again. You can't get the kid on a carousel horse, but he loved the ponies. He kept saying giddy up horsey!!! Soooooooooooo cute.


J.T. loved the baby bunnies. He kept wanting to go back to them. If I took my eyes off him he would run back there.






ALL THE COUSIN'S




J.T. Loves Becky's game room. There are so many toys he can't figure out which ones to play with. He likes the pirate ships and castle his cousins have along with the numerous guns and swords they have.

HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!!

Johnny turned 28 today!!! Can't believe how old he is getting and I still feel so Young!! Johnny is the greatest son anyone could ask for. He has a great wife and two of the greatest little boys ever. We had a quick little party for him and when J.T. ( his oldest son who is 2) and I went to pick out a card I saw a singing card with High School Musical on it and when you opened it, it played a song from the movie. His best friend Craig White is a fan of High school Musical and has been trying to get Johnny hooked with great resistance, but I figured the card could remind him of Craig!!! When Craig gave him his present it was the High School Musical Movie. Great minds thing alike Craig. Johnny loves them!!!! Thanks for being such a great son. Hopefully we will Celebrate better when we all get back home. We Love you Lots. Hope you had a great day even thought Dad is working you to death since the Governator terminated you. Hopefully you will get your job back soon.
Mom and DAD!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER!!!!!!

I Can't believe Carter John is turning 4 today! He is the sweetest and has the neatest personality a 4 yr. old can have. I just love him. He always is excited to see Grandma and when Becky asked him who he wanted to invite to his Birthday party he said he wanted Grandma to come. So Carter, Happy Birthday and I will see you on Thursday afternoon. Can't wait for the big kiss and hug from you. I can't believe how big you are getting. Hope you had a great day today!!! Love Ya Lots. Grandma.

From a baby to soo big and already riding on the tube behind the boat! What a brave boy. Can't wait for next summer and hope the lake is better next year for you.

J.T. And Grandma Time

Zan left today (Fri. 08-08-08) to go back to Sacramento to take care of her Primary calling ( Which is Primary Pres.) and then she flies out on Monday to Oaklahoma to visit her sister Paige who just had a baby and just moved there. Her sister Teresa (sp) is going to be there also. She took Kolter with her and I am going to watch J.T. even though dad will be around. I have been looking for cheap tickets to Utah and for some fluke I put a bid on priceline this morning for 230.00 and it accepted my offer so J.T. and Grandma are off to Utah for Carter's birthday. We fly out on Thursday the 14th and come back on the 20th and yes they gave us Delta direct flights on priceline ( I was greatly surprised because I was sure they would route us through San Francisco ) I am excited because Carter kept saying he wanted Grandma to come to his Birthday party.) It is going to be a fun week with J.T. and I am sure we will have lots of fun with the cousins in Utah!!! I know mommy will miss J.T. and I am also sure the time will fly by and we will be back with mommy. PICTURES WILL DEFINITLY FOLLOW!!!

The Royal Lipaizanner Stallions Show!!!

We went to the Royal Lipaizanner Horse show tonight!!! Tickets were $22.50 for Adults and $20.50 for kids 2 thru 16. Should I say unless you are a die hard through and through horse lover it was a total waste of money to watch and hour and a half show of horses prancing around an areana. I must say J.T. seemed to like the classical music at one point he was dancing to the music, I think he enjoyed the show. My Nieces little girl turned to me about half way through and said " I'm bored!!!!" I said " SO AM I "!!! Great to look at for the first 15 min. and then not so exciting after. I guess we can all say we have seen them once in our lives. WHOOPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stacey took some pictures, so maybe some pictures will follow this post!

A SAD, SAD, SAD DAY IN AUGUST

This is a sorry site. It is the first weekend in August and YES the ski boat is sitting in our front yard. Such a sorry site. Grandpa and Grandma & J.T. headed out to the lake on Friday and when we arrived to the lake it was still tooooooo smokey. So we turned off the refridgerator on the Houseboat and brought the ski boat home out of the smoke and ash, poor J.T. just went for a long ride for nothing, but he was a trooper and was great company for Grandpa and Grandma. We or I should say Zan, J.T. and Grandpa spent half the day Saturday cleaning the boat and getting all the ash off. I am so bummed that our summer is ruined. I am now praying for rain to put the fires out so we can enjoy maybe the end of summer. Needless to say Zan did a terrific job cleaning the boat with the help of J.T. and the boat looks brand spanking new again!!!!! THANKS ZAN!!!!! The only saving grace of the weekend was that It was a beautiful day all day on the coast!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!
EVERYONE PRAY FOR A RAIN STORM IN TRINITY COUNTY!

Doobie Brothers Concert

Tonight John and I went to the Doobie Brothers concert at the Arkley Center. I think that is the most rock & Roll I have listened to since High School. The music was good, brought back lots of memories, but I still can't believe I listened to that kind of music. I listen to a lot of country music now. What a difference in music. Fun time, but I don't think I will be hearing good for a few days.
