Bubba Birthday #2

OK, so it didn't work out so well, somehow I got the pictures flipped and didn't want to mess with it in my limited time. But you see there is an extra pic and it is Bruce's good friend who came over to sing "Happy Birthday" to him, it was quite a pleasant surprise for everyone. Anyway, he looks healthy and happy and we all had a very nice time. Thanks for the good food Viv...

Bubba's Birthday

Here is a picture of the famous now 60 year old Bubba. You will note he is making a wish before he blows out his candles. When you are 60, you hope all of your wishes do come true.

New Newz

Greetings, Marissa reminded me that I hadn't added to by blog lately. The news has been just one darn thing after another so who wants to hear anything about that. The good news is that Marissa is still pregnant, and that she has survived the ordealssssss and with a great sense of humor. The mom was the one having the difficult time. When something is happening to my kids I worry too much. Oh, ye of little faith Mom.. It's ok though, I got the message in conference, I am not the one in charge. Perhaps it is because my favorite time of the year is coming to a close, in case you haven't notice, the leaves are changing, it is getting colder out there, etc. On Monday, right after conference they started cleaning up the beautiful flower beds, I had grown to love the flowers so much. Oh, I know they will all be frozen by the weekend, it is just the close of the season I resent. It comes after living too long in warm country where you just replace summer flowers with winter ones. How quickly we become spoiled. I am looking forward to getting a new Great Granddaughter within a week or so. My granddaughter Tiffany who lives in California is having her second girl within the next week. Denise is going to go and stay with her there. I hope they send pictures, I will include one for you. Lets see, what else has happened. Oh, Marissa's' shower. It was great. She received so many nice things. There were many family and friends that sent money in for the twins. She was able to get both car seats, both mattresses for the beds. Baby swings, clothes, sheets and so many other things thanks to the very generous family and friends. Sarah Marissa's very good friend made two quilts, and the bumper and bed skirt for the cribs. The absolute best was the rag rug that Mason's mom made for their bedroom, it must have taken her over 3 months of working on it and it is absolutely beautiful. My thanks to everyone for you generosity. I will try to be better at keeping up on the blog, and I so much enjoy every ones blogs, if you are reading mine and I haven't commented on yours, I probably don't have your blog address. Please let me know, I love keeping up with our great family. Much love to all....
