My 2nd Grade Class at Cornbelly's!

S.O.G with P.I.P.?

Finally, I have the granddaughters and the camera in the same place at the same time...and yet again, aren't they the cutest!!! One of my girlfriends mothers once had a picture album in her purse that was named S.O.G. with P.I.P. The aconyms stood for Silly Old Grandma with Pictures in Purse! I don't know about that...I guess I would be a S.O.G with P.O.B. (Silly Old Grandma with Pictures on Blog! but I sure love them!!!

Aren't they cute!!!

Just got this fairly new picture of my grandson's

thought I needed to brag some more...after all w

what's a blog good for if you can't brag!!!

The eye's have it!!!

On Allen's birthday, he recieved a very special gift. He has been having some real trouble with his eyes. It was diagnosed as a condition called Fuch's disease. It is a degenerative condition and it progressed really quickly with Allen. The eye doctor, Dr. Parson's, tried some other preventative measures but they didn't work and so on September 8th he recieved a new cornea. This was from a 30 year old donor. I have come to appreciate the little DONOR sign on a driver's license so much more. In all our gratitude, we also realize someone else is suffering a loss in their lives. Allen's eye has healed very well and his eyesight is drastically improved. (He's not frightening to drive with at night anymore :).

I'm sooooo PROUD!

Holly has really gotten after me because my posts are so far behind...I just sit around all day so I don't know why I don't have time to blog...!Anyway, last month Allen was awarded Employee of the Year for Orem City. We attended the employee dinner in September. It's always nice and if we don't have anything else planned it's fun to go. As we sat down with our plates in the way too crowded Orem Senior Center, I picked up the program just to see what was happening. There staring back at me was a picture of my dear husband. I turned and asked him why he didn't tell me that he was receiving this honor. He replied that he didn't know and that he was so embarrassed...and I think if he could have gracfully slipped out of the room he woud have! He was embarrassed but I was very proud of him. He is such a great man and I love it when others recognize that too. He was given a cash award and a very nice gift certificate to the Homestead in Heber City. Way to go, HONEY!

Two More on the Way!!!

We have just recently found out that two more little ones
will be joining our family. Josh and Whitney are expecting
a little girl in February and Derek and Ryann in late April.
I absolutely love my grandkids and the more the merrier as far
as I'm concerned!!! Allen and I will need to get busy earning
money to remodel to accomodate our growing family!
