SAD DAY....

Our darling Tammy was taken to heaven Friday.....ev ery time I try and write about her I cry......for her family.   I have pictures of her on my I pad but do not know how to transfer them to my computer.....so will later when I can get some help......A terrible accident ..... so sudden......when she had stopped to help someone in a car wreck.....it was raining and she was trying to get 911 and didn't see a car barelling down toward them and it started hydroplaneing and hit her! I feel so sorry for my sister....her mother-in-law....Kevin, Tammy, Kirk and Tamrie....Her husband.....and 3 childen....She was a earth angel to many ......her town of Winslow, AZ is in morning....as her exended family is.  So young to die.....when there are so many around that do nothing to better our world.....so hard to understand these things......but guess God has a reason. We will miss you Tammy and pray for your sweet loved ones who will miss you so much.

 

BILL TURNS 40

40 May seem old to Bill.....it did  to me .....when I was 40....50 years ago......life was just beginning.  He and Nicci are such a cute couple.....and two of the smartest people I know.  They added a darling little boy to the family 3 years ago......named Tucker.....they just put Ollie...who had been the baby a long time....down......But will get the new puppy for Tucker in a couple of weeks....Perfect family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL.......

 

RAINBOW.....

I have seen a lot of rainbows in my 90 years......But this one was so big and bright....and double....and went from the lake to town right over Alex's house.....the day before Sage was blessed.  This is Sherrie's back yard...with hay fields between she and Alex's house. We felt it was a sign of a good 4th of July weekend.  Sherrie and a neighbor own the hill you see in the   background.....

 

SAGE ADDISON CHRISTENSON - 2 MO.

I surely do have cute great-grandkids!

My youngest .....Sage.....in a hand crochet dress that Alex's grandma Kay made.....not to keep.... but to pass around on blessing day.......I hope they have a few more this cute......

 

BLESSING DAY FOR SAGE

So happy to still be around to enjoy my great-gandchild's blessing. Sage Addison Christenson.....she was so good through it all and so pretty in a special dress.  It was the second of July.....so I am a little late......This is Sherrie;s cute family.....we went up to Alex's house after wards for brunch and got to see the remodel.....they have done so much work and it is so nice....Enjoy Ashlyn's parents and her twin brothers wives are both pregnant....more babies for   that family....I was the only one there from alex's side of the family.....none of the Christensons drove out....and none of the Petersons showed up.....

 

SCOTTY ....YOUNGEST GRANDCHILD......

 

Do I love my grandchildren......YES...YES.....YES.

This is my youngest of nine...Scott. Tall ..blond and handsome.....and fun....taken on my 90th birthday.  He has had a bad round of cancer for someone his age...but bounced back and enjoying UVU .....girls....and traveling.  The nice thing I love is he will take me to movies and out to eat and does nice things for me.....I can't say that about all the grandsons.....but most of them.  I am a very lucky grandma!

KERMIT.....

Kermit says it best.....I wake up......then lay there and lay there amd lay there!  I know I have to get up.....because my bladder tells me so.....but I am so tired and hurt every where......and want to roll over amd take this day to rest up........but it doesn't happen.

Yesterday was house cleaning day......and today grocery shopping day....and tomorrow will happen....so Kermit and I are out of luck with our wish.  I need tocall Pam and see how she is surving her new puppy......and see how Bree is getting along with her new play mate?  

 

GREAT GRANDKIDS....

Some people do not get grandkids....or are lucky with one or two......I was lucky and got 9 grandkids.....AND so far ...... 6 and a half......Great grandkids!  When all together like for my 90th birthday party.....can be a handful of love.......four girls and two boys and the one on the way a    girl.  I am amazed how my grandsons can take over with their little ones....real Mr Moms. Aaron and Tucker.....holding Olivia....Isla and Lilly.....Sage not here yet.

 

NO REUESTS....JUST THANK YOU GOD.

Monday morning.....I was able to crawl out of bed and see a beautiful summer day.....The Merry Maids came and cleaned the house....I have plenty to eat and a great bed with a hot pad that helps the arthritis.....I can kinda hear...kinda see....and kinda walk....but I can.  I can still drive to the store...I can kinda work my cell phone and my computer.....have great neighbors and can nap when I want.....Life is good at 90!

 

ROBBY AND MYSEKA

This is th newest hairy grandchild.........Myzeka.....tiny....tiny baby sister for Bree.  She can not stand her.  I kept them both Saturday night....Bree hid out and wouldn't eat till Pam came home Sunday.  MYZEKA is so little and cute and cried all night and would not stay in her pen...now I remember why I don;t want another dog.  She was named when Pam got her....her name means "coal" in some foreign language.....and she is as black as coal.  I hope the next time I tend her....she is sleeping all night.

 

SUMMER FLYING BY.....

July was hot and windy and Salt Lake broke a record for three digit temperatures ever......I did have a nice 4th of July in Vernal with the Christensons......but Pioneer Day was just another day....so hot and dry very few fireworks.  Blessed Sage was the high light of the month......she is three months old already......and the news is out.....a baby girl for Richie and Anna!  August big month for family birthdays.....Pam turns 65.....Tucker 3.....Brayden and Andrea a day apart at 26.....I think?
