Whit and Ashley got married

Well Ashley got hitched as Whit put it. Her ceremony was done in the middle of the forest by Bishop Roskelly. It was a gorgeous day. I gave my daughter away. Ashley and I had to get ready in a tent so that she didn't have a wrinkled gown. We traveled 2 hours away which was my fault I was told I took everyone the long way there. Oh well we all got there and everything went well. here are a few pictures I took with my phone. I brought my camera but never had a chance to use it.

Aaron at 4-H

Aaron went to the Cococnino County Fair to show his pig. Doesn't he look handsome in his show clothes? Aaron did very well in his showmanship. He got second place in novice which is your first year. He sold his Pig at the auction for $3.20 a lb. his pig weighed 269. So he made alot of money. Blairs trading post in Page bought him. This was a very good experience for him and he wants to do it again next year. Sarah and Michael came up to watch and so did grandma and grandpa. It was alot of fun camping for 4 days. Aaron also got hypnotized at the fair and that was really funny. We bought the dvd of it so we can still laugh about it. Aaron also got 1st place for his record book for novice.

my potted garden

Well i goofed on these pics. The topsy turvys really look topsy turvy in these photos. But everything is growing good and the best thing is that we are moving to a bigger house and I can take them with me.

4TH of July parade

The 4-H is in the fourth of July parade every year. Hear is a picture of Aaron in the back of the truck throwing candy. He ran out of candy before we ran out of road. He doesnt know how to give sparingly. He is really learning alot in 4-H. Im glad that we have finally found an interest in something to keep him busy.

Ella isn't scared of anything

This was funny Robert found AShleys Mouse in her room and was going to share it with Ella. She wasn't afraid of it one bit. She wanted to play with it.
But Becky was scared to death of it. she thought it was disgusting. Ella is just like her grandma she isn't afraid of anything. Go ELLA!!!!!

Graduation nite

The stadium was so packed that there were tons of people standing and the football stadium was full. Grandma and Grandpa were having to stay on the ground and we had to meet them back at the room it was so crowded.
Ashley and her boyfriend Whit.

The whole family.

There is Ashley in the march around the track. I enjoyed this because we could see her. At my other kids Graduations you could never see them they were to far away. They also had the kids do a shout out during the hour we were waiting for it to start. Really nice.

The Dam tour

Such beautiful scenery. We all had a good time.


We got to wear hard hats at one time. We look so cute.


Everyone came up to Ashleys graduation and Dallas

Ashley and the giraffe. She wanted to feed it but that wasn't possible here.

Reese had lots of fun being pushed around but the sun was a little brite.

We loved watching the monkeys.

the Zoo

We went to the Zoo with Resse and Hunter and Sarah. I think Ashley and Aaron were as excited about going to the Zoo Hunter and Reese. This is Aaron and Hunter on the spider web.

Easter

We went down to the valley for easter. We had Easter fun at my moms on Saturday and on Sunday we went to Sarahs and all of my kids were there. I met Sarah and Michael at the store to see the grandkids sit with the Easter bunny.

I'm in the Paper in Page

There was a ST. Patricks day casino night to raise money for the Lake Powell Museum. It was $25.00 for food and fun. So a girlfriend from work and I went. Well I had a blast. I didnt know what I was doing never gambled before. This picture was me playing roulette. Well that got boring. So I was wandering around the room and looking for something else to play when a guy that comes into the bank called me over to play 7 card stud. I told him I didnt know how to play he said he would show me. I said yea and take all my chips. Well I played alright and kicked butt all nite. The guys couldn't believe that I was winning every hand but 3. Then they auctioned off a spay for a cat in which I purchased with my chips and I walked away with 2 baskets full of goodies. One of them was a wine basket very nice I didnt know what I was going to do with it until the guy that invited me to play poker got a girlie basket so I asked if he would trade and he did . So I got alot more in prizes then what I payed to have fun. If you don't see me I'm in the very back.

The sick one Aaron he hated the mask.

Christmas 2009

I Got to go down and spend Christmas with my kids and grandkids. It was a really good time. Here are my 2 little grand daughters.
I made these dresses with part of Ashleys homecoming dress material. Aaron had the flu Christmas morning. I felt so bad for him. Jared couldn't make it either he had pnenomia. I took him Christmas dinner afterwards. Im sure he enjoyed it cus I think he doesnt cook much. Dad was in a care center to get his leg therapy so him and mom didnt make it either. We had another christmas at the care center. Dad had alot of visitors so I dont think he was too sad. All in all we had a great Christmas.
