Blizzard...Grand Canyon and driving to Phoenix



We drove to Phoenix to help Ang and Tommy move into their new apt. Thursday night between Panguitch and Kanab we encountered a TERRIBLE snow storm...keep in mind it was May 22nd!!! Visibility was terrible---ZERO!!!--we had to drive 10-20 mph for miles! Then the next day as we drove around the rim of the Grand Canyon (one of Tim's dreams...we'd never been there.) we got dumped on again...MORE bad weather; this time it was rain, sleet, hail and snow...and it stuck to the road which made driving treacherous (Tim had taken his snow tires off) ...UGH!!! We could only see the canyon at one of the many look out points and it was SO cold...remember it was May 23rd!!! We arrived safe, but not mentally sound!!! We make the 11 hr. drive home tomorrow...NOT looking forward to that! The forecast is for nice weather--but keep in mind it was only supposed to be rain when we drove down here! It's wonderful to be here and spend time with Ang, Tommy and Jack.

Abi's high school graduation and dinner
















This picture was taken at the Chop House restaurant where we ate the night before Abi's high school graduation. Of course the top picture is of Abi, then Tim and me. The bottom: left to right back row...me and Lis, Abi and Mary and Annie. Lis and her husband, Bobby, drove up with Tim and me. Mary didn't know we were coming and you should have seen her dance and scream when she saw us standing in her living room at 11 pm at night. It was so good to be there! this fall Abi will be at Weber State...another school that has purple and gold for its school colors. We're looking forward to having her over, along with Lis and Bobby, for some Sunday dinners.

Happy Mother's Day!

This is what a mother says in 24 hours condensed to under 3 minutes--- double this for Stacey who has twins! Her singing isn't that great, but she's funny! It's sung to the William Tell Overture. For some reason it wouldn't let me make the link a hot one, so you'll have to copy and paste it. Enjoy!

Laughing at himself


I know Angela posted this on her blog, but some of you probably don't view it. Here's Jack just after he made a mad dash for the bedroom. When he can get away from his parents he heads straight for the mirror in their bedroom to laugh at himself! CUTE!

The sad reality is...

That we're back from Mexico and have worked 3 days already...I'll post a couple of pictures after they are downloaded.

Today is a rainy, cold day in SLC, quite a difference from the sun and warmth of Mexico. Okay, I'll stop whining!

It was marvelous, we had a lot of fun and ate way too much of the resorts gourmet food!
