Cornbellys rocks!

Yee ha! It's Cornbelly's time again!

Finally, gray hair pays off with a front row parking spot!

(That white dot in the corner is a beautiful full moon)

We all agree -- Cornbelly's rocks!!

Stella brought her parents to visit!

I was so happy that Jeremy & Jamie & Stella

got to come out west for a few days.

We took an excursion to Gardner Village.

One of us was very afraid of the witches.

Mya and Thomas enjoyed riding the ponies.

It was so much fun to play together!

I hope they can come back soon!

生日快乐

That means happy birthday!

Ethan and Maya celebrated their 10th birthday with dinner at

and watching the greatest show on earth!

This is waiting at the Trax station after the circus.

So much fun can wear a girl out.

I'm sure glad we were invited to share the fun!

Gotta love the first weekend in September!

Why?

Swiss Days!

and the Payson Onion Days parade!

Oh yeh!!

SNOWBIRD!!

Another fun week at Snowbird,

one of my most favorite places on earth!

I look forward to coming back all year long!

This year I made patriotic pillowcases
for the grandkids to celebrate the 4th of July

I love the tram ride to the top of Mt. Baldy . . . and swimming!

The kids had lots of fun together.

The fish were biting . . .

sometimes.

I brought lots of craft projects to keep the grandkids busy.

It's fun to watch their creativity at work.
it's hard to believe that these cute tote bags are

cereal boxes,

mod podge,

and scrapbook paper

and even Grandpa and Uncle Greg

got into the craft sceneI love being in the mountains!

A week at Snowbird can be exhausting . . .

and really sweet!

We topped off the week with

Baby Dallin's blessing in Twin Falls, Idaho.

counting the days until next year!

Going Ape for Grant!

Umm, do I know you? This friendly guy showed up at Texas Road House

to give Grant a happy birthday hug! A little monkey business was afoot because,

actually, he came to surprise one of their cooks

and we were there celebrating Grant's birthday.

The big ape wanted Grant to have a happy birthday, too.
Valerie and I didn't dare get close to him (her?), but Ty and the kids were good sports and got in the picture. They were visiting us from Las Vegas so came to dinner to help us celebrate.

Happy big hairy birthday, Grant!
