Annie Oakley

Adrienne's kids were here for the day, and sweet little Rhya girl decided she wanted to be a cowgirl, since the boys had all the stuff out. She put on the hat, and then insisted I help her with the scarf, belt and boots. She found a stick and actually made a "shooting" noise while aiming it. It was a fun day!

Laura Dawn's Birthday

We had a family gathering at Adrie's house, and she generously fixed lunch for us as we celebrated Laura's birthday. This was my contribution, a cake that is supposed to look like "smores". At least it tasted good, probably because of the ganache filling inside!

It's Warmer in Provo!

Because Ryan was out of town on business, Kallie invited me to spend a few days with her. It was so warm, (compared to here!) that we hardly needed jackets. Max, recently turned one, learned to like me, and Avery, turning three, was sad when I left.

Avery has learned lots of songs, and has been well trained. She had a hard time letting me out of her sight. Even when I was in the bathroom, she would peek under the door and say, "I see your shoes, Grandma!" And then once she yelled., "YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH TOILET PAPER, YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH TOILET PAPER!"
