Trying again....(a good motto for life)

I doubt anyone will see this blog since it has been so very long since I have blogged and now everyone is trained to not even check on our blog.  Nonetheless I shall endeavor to reestablish the good habit of blogging and keeping track of the happenings in our lives.  I could cop a bunch of lame excuses like life was just happening too fast but I won't.  I'll just say I blew it off for a long time and then it was so hard to go back and recover all that was lost so I just gave up trying. But not any more!  I'm trying again!   So, I'm just starting anew and posting pictures that will give you a flavor of what we've been up to.  It is great, that's for sure!!!

I helped fly the Willis fam home in January (but not Jimmy).  The boys were so good and Joey's nap cracked me up.

We did some good museum visiting with the Lindes in January

Our neighbors are former Coloradans and decided after the playoff game victory we needed a Bronco in our front yard.  Too bad it was snowcovered by the Super Bowl.  GO BRONCOS!

Fun with Daniel(left) and Ally (right) while they stayed with us while Jamie and LaDon were in Japan.

A perfectly timed, dead of winter trip to Florida was next.

Grandpa Roy meeting Truman

These people just follow us everywhere!  How fun!!  We all were randomly in Florida at the same time.  

Dad and I did enjoy an awesome stay in Kissimmee (Thanks Marilee and Henry!!) and we had SO much fun at Disneyworld!

Bill had to go to California for work so I headed to Sum's house so we could take off and have a great road trip.  
I went to visit Summer and soak up some warmer weather....it didn't happen as they had SNOW!

We had to send this picture to Tyler of us driving to the Willis house cause he wouldn't believe we were actually coming.

COUSINS!!!  They were the best of friends.  I've never seen 1 year olds play so well together.

Rockin' out!

At Aunt Char's park...really, that's the name of this Kid's Kingdom.  It's awesome.

Joey is fearless and has definite "monster" tendencies.  Watch out Trey!

Tyler the great!

We had such a fun time!!

See those slides? They are long and fast.  The kids LOVED them and by kids I mean Charina and Summer!

This is the cutest kid ever.  She is a talking machine and so fun to be with.

A random sight in Memphis. We just had to stop and check it out when we learned it was a Bass Pro Shop.

It had the usual fish, an indoor lake, incredible cypress tree/swamp theme.  It was beyond words.

My cunning family combined to pick me up at the airport and sweep me off to the Provo City Center open house.  Bill was at a scout thing.  I'm so glad they did it.  It too was beyond words in an even better way!


 We had such a fun last minute trip with the Hiatts to Grandpa and Grandma Norton's in AZ.  The weather was spectacular and we had so much good food, good adventures and great family time!


We checked out the ruins at Tuzigoot!

This looks like a 7 year old Billy.  The perspective in the picture is so funny!

Dad and Billy had a blast on the 4 wheelers and Krista ran for miles up the mountain.  

We spent a great afternoon with Unc Henry and Aunt Marilee.  We heard some of the greatest stories and are awaiting the book when it comes out!!!  hint, hint.

Thanks everyone for being part of our adventures.  We are loving living in Utah, loving traveling about and loving each day to spend with each other!  Life is good!
