America the Beautiful

We hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

We had Jackson in the car with us the other day when he saw a convertible. He was very excited and said the car was "AWESOME". He could hardly belief it when he found out Grandpa and Grandma had a car without a top! Of course we had to give him a ride. He was pretty excited, but kept asking why the car didn't have a top!

I love this flavor of pop so much, I decided to decorate with it!!

They stopped making this in Yakima and I contemplated giving up my pop habit. A couple of days ago we went to the Temple in Richland and afterwards we stopped at Albertsons for a drink. Much to my delight, they had Pepsi Jazz Caramel flavor! Hmm, is this a sign that I should keep drinking???

Out with the old...

(No, it isn't Dad.)


Bye-Bye you old heart dishes


Hello modern world!

I think square dishes qualify me to be hip!


I had a wonderful birthday!
My 9 children (5 by birth, 4 by marriage) are the greatest! They went together and bought me 2 hours at a spa! I get a full 1 hour massage, a facial - which includes a facial, neck and scalp massage, and an exfoliating foot bath!

Thank you so much! It is a very generous gift. I look forward to my pampering!! I love my family more than words can say -- I really do!!
