My new bathroom! I love it!





Thanks to Adam for his work on our floor, he did an expert job on it and saved us tons of money.
Jerry installed the vanity and hardware and will be finishing the mirror today. I painted it and added the woman's touch, you know the towels, decorations, etc. Go Me!!!

Damon turns seven! Happy Birthday Super Damon!!






























Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Damon through the years. Can't believe he is already 7 yrs old! Where has the time gone? I love you, Bud.

Rylee, getting so big! She's 9 mos. now.


Note those beautiful blue eyes. Why so serious, Rylee?

Jerry's favorite thing to do


This is Jerry's all time favorite thing to do, rain or shine, summer or winter! Next to spending time with me of course!

Our family, I'm so proud of them all

This was taken on Dad's 75th birthday at the Pollard Hotel, we ate elegantly! Expensively too, I might add, but like Sheila says, you only turn 75 once!!!

Ten Sleep, Wyoming

I grew up in one of the most beautiful places in the world and this is just a small part of it.

World famous banana cream pie!





Personally I think that Colleen and I probably make better, but we did have to try it! I had the sourcream raisin, I don't think anyone else had in months, it tasted pretty, well, fermented.

We had a tea party!








Yes, we are in our pajamas and are having a "tea" party, well actually, hot chocolate, but you get the idea. We had antique teacups and saucers that Colleen bought each of us and were wearing straw hats that Sheila provided. We read poetry (I did badly on that part).
We had a great time, as usual, enjoying each others company, laughing until our faces hurt, complaining about all of our aches and pains and mostly just being together.


Pics from our Montana and Wyoming trip



Happy Birthday Dad! 75 years have been good to you. You look great!

My Dad!! He always acts goofy for pictures!


My Dad is turning 75 on the 15th of May, so my sisters, my Mom and I are driving to Redlodge, Montana to celebrate with him! We'll post some birthday pictures when I get back.

These are my Mother's Day Gifts












Although gifts are not the most important thing, I really appreciate the fact that my kids put a lot of thought into the gifts they give me. Everyone is different and they all know me a little differently. Thank you everyone, Trevor, I'm still waiting for at least a hug!

Yummy cake

Mindy made this delicious cake for Rachel and Doug's party. It was so good!!

So long!


My cute niece Rachel and her husband, Doug are getting ready to go to Dental School in Buffalo, NY. So we had a good bye party for them last night and this is a picture from that.

My Mother's Day gift

I love spending time on my porch and this will only make it better! Thanks Jerry!!!

Makenna breaks her arm at Arctic Circle!


A free icecream cone would be nice, Arctic Circle!

This stuff is gross!!!

My son in law Jared loves these drinks and so I thought I'd try one and yuck!! It must be the passionfruit flavor or something, anyway I really don't like it.

Vicky and Myra

These two girls were in my friend, Kris' home about 5 years ago, they have been adopted in separate homes, but are able to maintain a relationship, Vicky is now almost 17 and Myra is 12!
They both seem so happy! We saw them at the Foster Care picnic last night. Well worth going to.

Caleb and Rylee



Caleb was outside in the rain and Rylee was watching him, I think this is adorable, but mostly you can tell how much he loves this little girl.

Best friends, or is it "only" friend?


This is my best friend, Kris, she and I have done shelter, foster for nine years together. Infact that's where we met. We have a lot of fun together and most of our kids are the same age. Except for the newest little Weeks and there won't be a Pace that age, sorry, Kris. We are best friends, but sometimes we just have to draw the line! Our kids tease us about the fact that we are each other's only friend, but I wouldn't care if that was true, because she really is my best friend.

Girl's night

We had a girl's night out when Britt came into town for the weekend, these are my girls.

My bathroom


Our bathroom has needed a major overall for many years, it's over 30 years old! This is a lovely picture of Adam laying the tile, mostly a picture of Adam's butt, but you get the idea!
I'm so excited to get it finished! I'll post a complete picture of the finished project.
I was too embarrassed by the old bathroom to post a before and after picture, but if you can imagine a rotted out floor, then your imagination will probably suffice!
