Kite Flying

Image
I grew up in Southern Idaho, therefore, I love flying kites. In other words, It's windy here in the Spring. Callie got me a new kite. I realized one of the perks is looking at the sky. These pictures do not do it justice. It was so blue It was one of those days when you were thankful for God's creations. Not to mention your crazy family that will join you  in some kite flying.

What a Difference a Decade Makes

One afternoon about 10 years ago,  I was in the lovely Turlock California attending a class at  CSU Stanisalus , I noticed I had a message on my cell phone. I had no idea how to retrieve it, so I asked a student and before I knew it, I was listening to a message from Todd  and he had been accepted to UCLA. My first response, "There is no way that I'm going to let my 18 year old son go to southern California. But.... I was proud of him. Long story short,  he went to BYU. Move it up 10 years,    Oddly, he's at BYU  again --- I got a text on my cell phone this week that Todd got into UCLA....Again!!!!! I whooped and hollered, threw my arms in the air and yelled, 'Todd got into UCLA!!!!' It is the closest of all the schools he is looking at. So, we shall see where he will end up for 4 more years. But no matter what, I'm proud of him. Back in rural Idaho, Wes and I went up the Wood...

Happy Valentines Day

For Valentines Day, I have decided to share 10 things I love. 1 Wes.  God Bless him.  I'm a pain in the neck to live with, but we just keep plugging along. 2      My sweet little grandchildren.  They make me smile.  I just love them.   3   My children, my parents, my siblings and Wes's family.    I know, that's cheating, but we might as well get all the family out of the way 4 I love to go outside when it over 20 degrees.    There is nothing like fresh air to improve the day. 5 I love my job.   Teaching kindergarten is toooo fun. 6 I love to sew.  I feel better when I have a few minutes to sit down and work on a project.   It can be by hand or on the machine or  the other day I had to time to get out the rotary cutter and cut out squares.   I felt the awesome!...

As an update, I ate the cauliflower and it was awful. Lesson learned! Here is a cute picture of that big King Penguin at the Calgary Zoo. He went of a walk out side. He is so darn cute.
