Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was just dad and I in the morning but we got up and got ready. Dad was the good one and went to church. We went to Shane and Crystal's for dinner. She cooked a very wonderful meal. This was the stuff they got for Christmas. Santa was good to them.

Tristen in his new vest. he is a true cowboy. Very grown up.

Clayton is also a cowboy through and through. All he wanted for Christmas was new boots and santa brought him some. I told him he looked like he had grown up over night. Very handsome young man.

These are Claytons new boots. He was so excited about them and proud to have a new pair like dad and brother. He wanted a picture of them. So cool. They were also square toed......

Our two cowboys. Cant believe how fast they are growing up. Sure enjoyed being around them for Christmas.

Shane and Tristen hanging out in the basement waiting for the wonderful lunch that they could smell from upstairs. Hard to wait. Especially since Clayton didnt sleep much the night before.....

Merry Christmas...A very wonderful day...Thanks guys....

Clayton is 10

Clayton had just gotten home from school and so we brought his gifts to him because they are headed to Utah today for his birthday. have a great day young man.

Well, Clayton is now ten years old. he is the last of the grandkids for birthdays and the last of the four that change in the same year. We bought him a banana chair. Hope he enjoys. They are going to utah today to see Ryan Shupe and the rubber band group for his birthday.

Tristen owns a Truck At 14

Tristen bought his first truck. He has been working at the Larsen ranch for a couple of years and saving his money. They went to Draper Utah and he bought the truck himself. He is so proud of that thing. Dont blame him. He bought plates and taxes and insurance himself. So far all the things he wants to fix on it he has bought himself. Yesterday him and Grandpa went cruisin through Kemmerer. Grandpa says man it has a lot of power. Way to go Tristen. Now my two oldest grandsons are vehicle owners. Very proud......

Thanksgiving 2011

Heather Hadley and Chad could not make it to Thanksgiving. They ended up going to the ranch where Chad helped build the party house. It is a beautiful place and they are invited to join in the fun every year. We missed having them with us though. We understand but we still missed them

This is the day after Thanksgivng. Jamie and her family came over for lunch. It was fun to have them and also Crystals family. Heather and her family could not make it. We sure missed having everyone here. It would have been fun to have them all together.

The men of the house had to watch football for Thanksgiving. They do that so well. Bryson went back and forth from football to helping in the kitchen.

Bryson was helping in the kitchen. He had to take an orange juice break.
He worked really hard you know.

Kenna Jo was making the sweet potatoes. She was enjoying herself. I have become a big fan of sweet potatoes ever since going to Heather's and they took us to Cheyenne for dinner and I got a sweet potatoe instead of a regular potatoe and it was wonderful. So now that is the best.

Sadie Hawkin's/ Jalen

Jalen went to the Sadie Hawkins dance. This was his date. Im sure they had a very good time. They went lazer tagging first. Oh to be young again. Cute couple.

Batman and Robin...right?

Cool picture huh. I guess they had a friend that was a photographer, so they got some good pictures of the group.

the group

Halloween 2011

Three little Elmer's all in a row...and sideways. Sure wish I knew what I was doing wrong. Oh well, down the road it shows my grandkids how technology was not my thing.

This sideways character is Quinton. I think anyway......

Ok, this really isnt funny. When i edit before I print they are upright and then when I hit print it goes like this...Anyway...this one is Trinity

I guess my blog will just be sideways. I hit rotate and it still does this. Anyway...this is Xander..our little dragon

Here I go, not knowing how to get this right. Anyway...Hadley was a referee. Cute..Cute...cute

This is our Bryson... I think it really changes him. Cool Biker dude

Ya like Tristen's costume. A candy man, a cant see me guy....your guess.

Clayton was a bull rider for Halloween. Great costume. Could be him actually in a few years.

Trinity's school project

Still cant figure out what Im doing wrong when I put these pictures in, but this is Trinity in her school project. She is Marie Antoinette. She had to be a wax figure and stay still until it was done. She had to tell her story into a recorder and when people wanted to know about her they would play the recorder. She said it was hard to stand still the whole time but it was fun.

Xander's Birthday

Is this a cute two year old or what. He is such a ham. This was in his classroom at ECDC. Im glad they do things like that for the kids. HAPPY BIRTHDAY...Xander

Now I can be a rock star......

Of course there has to be birthday cake for a birthday. This looks very innocent but by the time he was done he had it all over his face and in his hair on up his arm, which by the way he did all by himself. What a funny boy.

Trinity and Quinton and Bill. Bill is opening a truck for Xander which by the way...Bill liked just as much if not more than Xander did.

Cool...a remote control dump truck. It had lights and noise. he liked it alot. Anything with lights and noise is a good thing for him....

M & M's.....cool. Love those m & M's

Presents are fun. Wonder what is in this one mom?

Hadleys Birthday

We went to Laramie for Hadleys birthday and basketball game. This is Shelby and Hadley before the game. They both did very well. They are both going to be on a traveling basketball team that will travel to Colorado to play schools down there. Hadley is very excited about that. She loves her basketball

One of these days Im going to figure out how to fix these pictures. I did rotate...but as you see it didnt rotate. Anyway
...Hadley is not10 years old. She is as tall as I am. Of course that isnt very tall..Ha Ha. She is really growing up.

Bell if hopeing that there is something for her but there wasnt. She can always hope i guess.

Goofy girl

Grandkids are growing up way to fast. These first 10 years went by very fast. The next 10 will probably fly by to with as busy as she is. Enjoy your youth......Love you Hadley. Im glad we got to come down.

My projects

I love to do counted cross stitch. it is very relaxing to me. These are some of the projects that I have done lately. This is a picture of hadley looking out the window with rain on it. Kind of amazing even to me how they turn out.

This is one of Chad's mom and dad with and Elk. It is a little harder to see.

This one is Heather's friend Constance and her little girl Caydence. We gave it to her for her birthday. Like I said they are fun to do. I have done at least 25 of these kind of things.

Payson Homecoming

Jalen was ready to go to his homecoming dance. Very handsome young man. Can yu believe it...old enough to go to homecoming and dating. Man where did the time go.

Jalen and his date jordan as they were getting ready to go to Homecoming. Never thought I would have a grandson old enough to go to homecoming. I guess that makes me old. I remember when his mom went to the dances.

This Jalens friend Zack and his girlfriend and Jalen and his girlfriend, Jordan.

Labor Day in Evanston

This is cowboy Qunton. We got to be on our usual corner on Front Street to watch the Labor day parade. We have been there every year since i can remember. Dad use to always go and park his car on the corner so we could all be in the best spot to watch the parade. Dad has been gone 5 years and we are still trying to keep up the tradition. We miss those that cant come.

Clayton with his new cowboy hat and grandpa waiting patiently for the parade to start....on our corner

Trinity and Xander wathcing the parade. In the back is Clayton and Grandpa...On our corner...

Jamie, Crystal , shane and Tristen waiting for the parade. On our corner
