It's been a while since I last blogged. A lot has gone on. I've taken a 3 month leave of absence from work, and all I can say is WOW! I've worked for 19 years, and this is the first time I've actually had time to myself. I've actually gone grocery shopping, and prepared meals, and we generally eat before 6. That in itself is amazing. One of my goals was to catch up on my house work, and so far that hasn't happened. Another goal was to spend some more time with my family, and that has been fun.
Larry and I took off and went to Vegas for 3 days. We stayed at the Stratosphere. It was hot there, but we had a good time. From there Larry, Randy, and I went to Montana. We stayed there for 5 days. Brad, Kristy, Parker, Karlee, Cooper, John, Aubs, Oliver, and Lincoln joined us. We had a lot of fun there. The guys weren't too happy with the fishing, but the rest of it was good. Parker caught his first fish up there, and I'm not sure who was the most excited---Larry, Brad, or Parker.
I've been able to do some fun stuff with the grandkids. We spent a day at the Brigham pool, went to the Gateway and played in the water there, and we're going to go to the pool in North Ogden this week.
Saturday was Little Valley Days. We started off with the parade, Karlee was on a float with her dance class. The parade was short and sweet. Karlee was the cutest one on her float. Parker and Cooper got enough candy to give us all a belly ache. We then went up to the school house to do some games, get cotton candy and sno cones. We walked across the street and played at the lake, and then came home. John and Aubs and boys came up then. The big boys went golfing and the girls and little boys went to McDonalds. Always an experience. We ended the evening watching the fire works. They were great, but not as good as Lincoln's reaction. He was sooo cute. He wasn't scared a bit. Larry and Randy missed all the Little Valley fun. The had gone back to Montana to fish, and the fishing was great. I guess we all had a great weekend.
