HEAVEN TO ME....

When I was a young girl, I used to wish, hope and dream
that when I was old and a grandma, that I would always be
surrounded by my children and grand children, that would
truly be heaven to me. It seems that my dream has come true.

Beautiful sweet baby Claire has just turned
nine months old...love her sweet angelic face!

Melts your heart huh?!

A face just begging for kisses!

Oh, what a JOY she is to all.

Well, school is out and that spells... P L A Y T I M E.

Love our Brody...and he has a birthday this week too!
Nothing as fun as a bare foot boy!

I took some of our grands up to Fish Lake this past week.
We had so much fun walking the lake trail. Natalie here
is a brave girl, as soon as we got to a stream, her shoes
came off and she went wading.

And what has she got here? I am telling you,
she has magic fingers! She can walk up to any
animal and before it knows it, it has been caught
in her web of love!

Yup, she caught a big rainbow trout with just
her hands! As soon as I got the picture, she let
it go and away it went just a swishing it's tail
down the stream!

Oh oh...it was after the fish swam off that we found
this sign!!! Ssh....don't tell anyone!

We love the old Fish lake lodge, it's just opening again for
this summer, it is a favorite place to go for us every summer.

Nothing better for kids than to get outside...take the shoes off
and go playing with each other and a grandma!

Lots of little streams along this trail...love the
big OLD pine tree.

Brody loved having grandma take his picture!

Ahhh, a summer day, nothing like it!

Cool Mr. Kelton sitting on a rock!

~Natalie, Brickelle, Brody and Kelton~

That old Cougar loved stealing sticks...and getting in
the picture! Big beautiful Fish lake in the back ground.

Nothing as classic as boys...and sticks...and water...and a dog.

All of us squeezing into the picture.

Rock-a-bye babies...in some HUGE rockers at the lodge.

I bought them some lunch and we had fun with a little
game that we had been playing all day.

I would yell...FREEZE...and whatever they were doing had
to stop/freeze until I would say... THAW! We had some
great laughs all day with that simple little game!

Yes...grandma wants another picture!!!

Dropping them off home, they had to show me the new
baby kittens...aren't they cute?! Yes, the kittens too...
and they each have a home already, as soon as mama kitty
is ready to let them go.

We had a bit of scary...there was a huge rain
storm that passed over our home. It was full
of thunder and lightning and a ton of rain.

The lightning stuck really close to our house, just
as I was turning on the computer. All of a sudden...
"POP" and the computer went dead! Then,
the smoke detectors all started screaming!

It blew out the card in our modem and blew one
of the smoke detectors, which made all of them go off!
It took awhile to get it all figured out, meanwhile I nearly
went deaf!!!

Then a BIG double rainbow came and sat right over our house.
I think it was an apology to the damage done! As long as I have
lived here, I have never seen such a rainbow, it was gorgeous!

Then there was total calm, like there had been no storm at all.
Mother nature is SO amazing!

I think Samantha slept through the whole thing...
"What happened you guys?"

This is the first house we bought here in the county, it is owned
by someone else now...look what happened to it in this big storm!
The tree went right through the roof!

Now that would be a rude awakening!

Well, guess where I am off to for a few days...
You are right! St. George! See you when I get back!

ALL MY LOVE TO ALL
