Celebrations with Family

Mother Days was a great time spent with the family. In the morning we went to church and then in the after noon we went to Jim and Lois's for a barbecue John cooked some tri tip and we each filled in with the side dishes.
Margaret brought the cake a nice fruit filled cake with strawberries and bananas. She helped decorate this cake at the store. I know the pink rose is one of hers.

Grandmother, Daughter and Mother

After dinner and before eatting dessert we all decided to take a walk around the block. All but Johnathan and Margaret.

This is what Johnathan was doing while we where walking.

Baseball Family

Last weekend we had the fun of going to the Giants Game where Green Valley Middle School Band played the national anthem. Christopher plays the trombone. I didn't get a close up picture because we where third row to the top of the stadium. Below is a video you can hear them playing. Sorry problem with video will have to try again.

Here are a few shot before the game and with the family. Giants won the Diamond Backs two to zero, it was a pitchers game.

Spring time weather

Spring is coming, the sun is out and the weather couldn't be nicer. Looking forward to the arrival of your fourth grand child. I leave next week for Idaho to be some help to Jennifer who is having their third child a boy. I remember the third child being an adjustment for us we had two sets of eyes and two sets of hands even amounts for two little ones and now you are a little out numbered. Not to give you something to stress about Jennifer.

That is why when we hear that she was to give birth right at the crunch time for David. I told him there was not way I was staying home and he would just have to make the time to handle the boy school and make arrangements to work around their schedule with me out of town.
Johnathan is around and can help out, we tried to convinces him to take some of his paid vacation or sick time he has but he would not agree.

Christopher's first baseball game is the Tuesday before I leave and the last day of the month.
I was talking with the couch and he will be playing has their third baseman. The team is a Major league team and it is his first year playing at that level. They play under the name of the Astros.


Matthew and Christopher just received their third quarter grades and we are every pleased they are both doing great in school. Christopher has a 3.571 GPA , he tells us he wants to go to BYU. He is also helping his father do tax work with preparing the papers for David to enter the work into the computer. David may have a son to carry on the tax practice.

All Snowed IN

We decided to go up to the mountain condo for the Presidents Day Weekend even though we knew it was going to be a stormy weekend.

Believe it or not the weekend before there was no snow on the ground.

We shovel snow off the back deck the Saturday we arrived and the boys had fun playing in it. Below is a picture of the two of them goofing around in the snow they dug out of the side of the cabin wall.

Baseball Time Is Here

Baseball season is approaching soon. I am baseball taxi Mom once more. Christopher is back at playing baseball. He is one level higher in the league, playing on a majors teams the Astros. Coaches are very hard core put do know we have other family members to care for so they only have practice one and a half hours three days a week. When the full season begins they say it will be cut to two days a week.

Family doing well, busy with school and David starting tax season.
Looking forward of the new grandson in early April and David will be juggling tax season crunch and being a single parent while I'm in Idaho helping Jennifer.

Just hared from the other party's Insurance and they have finally expected the fault of the accident, we can now get that behind us and feel more at ease. We were thinking of having to hire on your attorney friend in the ward.

Hope this will help me have a better night sleep.
