Mayby I will start blogging again. I have so many great pictures. So I will start with Valentine Sugar cookie decorating. The kids had a great time and Abigail especially loved the frosting. It was pink and tasted sweet.

I gave up on blogging when I lost my downloaded pitures of Brent coming home from Cambodia after being gone for two years. Jessica searched and found them and Matt put them where they are supposed to be. Thanks you two for helping me out, now I don't have to give up. Here are a couple of pictures at the airport. Brent is doing super. He has been home 2 1/2 months. He is very busy with school and track at WSU. He is working most Saturdays and trying to get the dating in when he can find time. It is great to have him here.

I feel so bad about not blogging since before Brent returned home from Cambodia. I downloaded the pictures from the airprot and looked at them on this computor and now I cannot find them at all. I am so computor illiterate. Suffice it to say, HE LOOKS GREAT!!! I am so grateful to have him home. Now that he is here, I can honestly say it feels like he was never even gone. He is already busy with school (WSU) and track at WSU. I know that he serve Heavenly Father well and has planted many seeds. Welcome Home Bub. To see pictures of the airport, check out Jessies and Shannons blog:)

CONGRATULATIONS JESSICA!

We are so thrilled, proud and delighted for Jess. She has worked hard for this wonderful accomplishment. She is now an alumni of Weber State University. Way to go Jess. These are the kind of events that make life great.

Thanks to my dear sweet niece Natalie (Nate's wife), I now have pictures of Grandma Dixie's 75th surprise birthday party. THANKS SO MUCH NATALIE! Grandma was pretty surprised.
It's good we had just the two candles, I am not sure she could have blown at 75 individual ones.

Here is Grandma Great Dixie holding her newest great grandbaby, Jackson (Dustin and Natalie's little guy).

Jed and Shannon, Ben and Meg and Jess were able to be their with us from my family.

We had a really great surprise 75th birthday party for Grandma Dixie at Maddox. It is really sad that I didn't check my batteries in my camera before I left the house. I only got a couple of pictures before they completely died. Grandma Dixie, both of my sisters, all of mom's grandchildren that live in the state (10) and their spouses. It took some real effort to keep it a secret, but we did it. I am so grateful for such a wonderful mother and hope she has many more birthdays to spend with us.

A favorite thing for me is a Fall picnic. It is the best time of year. We had a great afternoon at a fun park where we ate pizza, hot chocolate and sugar cookies. Afterwards we went and picked out pumpkins at a fruit stand. It really doesn't matter what I get to do, it is just my favorite thing to be with my family and especially grandkids. Luke
