Wicked - A New Musical pictures and photos! Click to see some great pics!
Part of the whirlwind last week was going to see Wicked on Thursday night. The three of us, Wayne, Aubrey, and I got to go and enjoy one of our favorite musicals. What a night!

What A Week!

This past week has been a whirlwind of activity. Last Friday Aubrey arrived home from her mission to Portugal. It was so fun to see her walking down the ramp at the airport. We were all so excited to see her and to give her big hugs and kisses. Her plane arrived at about 10:30 Friday (the 17th) evening. All the grandchildren who were here and her brothers and sister who were here welcomed her home along with good friends, the Remingtons.

Here she is...we are so excited!

Auntie Aubs is home!

After all the excitement of Aubrey coming home we, Aubrey, Carrie, her children, Wayne and I got up early and drove to Snowflake so I could attend my 40th year, yes, that is 40 years, class reunion. We made it up there kind of late and then Wayne was tired so we drove to Eager where we were staying and rested some and then drove back to Snowflake for the evening festivities. Twenty years ago at the 20 year reunion the lights went out and as we walked into the social hall the light again went out again. They did come back on later on. What a coincidence! It was really fun to see my old classmates, some of whom I did not recognize. I think the most embarrassing was an old boyfriend, Dany Seymore. It was a great evening. However, I think we have all become our parents. I forgot my camera and Wayne didn't do too well with the picture taking. So, this is what I have.

While we were in Snowflake we drove by where I lived growing up, however, it looks nothing like it did when I lived there. It looks so different that it is kind of sad.

Abby, Sawyer, and the poor bunny. I'm sure the bunny was glad when we left so he could have some peace.

Sunday it started to rain and hail. It was so cool and nice up there that we hated to leave and come back to the oven.

On Wednesday we had another exciting thing happen in our family. Adele made her apperance. We were so happy to go see her at the hospital.

All the cousins are checking Adele out along with her brothers and sister.

Ya Gotta Love Her! :)

Abby loves to get in my drawer by my bedside and get my camera out. I'm not sure if she really wants to take pictures or just look at what pictures I have taken. Anyway...her is her photographic attempts.

You've got to love her and keep and eagle eye out for where she is and what she is doing!

I Love Baseball

Just wanted everyone to help get Mark Reynolds to the All Star game. He deserves to be there because he has great stats. Better than the other ones who are being considered with him. Vote Mark Reynolds. You have two days!

Baseball is the Best!

Okay so I love baseball and I love the Diamondbacks. I'm so sad that they are not doing well this year but I am not a fair weather fan. I still watch the games even though they are painful to watch at times. I love the whole idea of the game, the ABs, the RBIs, the Texas Leaguers, the Ks, the steals, the fights, and the guys in uniform. I got this from my Dad. I remember watching games with him on Saturday afternoon on TV. My favorite team at the time was the Cincinnati Reds, mainly because of their hot catcher Johnny Bench. To this day I love catchers. I think Mark Reynolds should go to the All Star Game so please vote at http://www.mlb.com/. Thanks

Happy 4th of July

Today is a time to reflect on our freedoms and the opportunites we have. I am so grateful for our fore fathers who had the courage and faith to do what they needed to do -- to say to England and the King that they were not going to take it anymore. I pray that the Lord continues to bless this country and that the good people of this country will say to those trying to take away our freedoms--I'm not going to take it anymore!

Back Again!!!!

Not to worry. Wayne just went in to have his pacemaker replaced. However, since I'm catching up that happened two weeks ago. He has had his pacemaker for about 7 years and the battery was getting low. He was actually scheduled to have it replaced before he had his heart attacks. We thought this was just going to be and easy thing. The surgery itself was easy (sort of) but the recovery has been a beast. I think it has bothered him more than the other surgery. Of course, the fact that he was on pain killers every 4 hours 24/7 for three weeks could have something to do with that.

Happy Father's Day

We had a wonderful day and everyone was just glad that they had a father here to celebrate with. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in the family. You are great!
