Grandma's on the Move again

What I need is a time travel machine..no a 'twinkler' you know twinkle me from place to place. Christsmas was in Arizona with Shon and Roxanne...then home for a day then dad and I flew to Oregon with Jeff and Katie then off to Utah to see a 'blast off' with Mike's family then home for a few days then off to Elko with Amy for a visit with Brett and Annie's bunch then home again rig-a-jig-jig. Now I am in Utah with John and Mel's fam and we will be back here next weekend to see all the Conover kids that can come give Shon a sendoff for Afganistan. he will be deployed in June. Loved our visit with M&M's fam and Jared and Lindsay....went to a BYU bb game with them and John's fam.....wow, it's been almost 40 years since I sat through a BYU game. I loved it!

crazy g-kids just hanging out at the BYU game.....causing havoc and comotion all around me....and I love every minute of it.

We were in the nose bleed section but it was so fun just beeing there and we could see every lousy call the referee's made :)

Yep, here I really am at the game with Missi and Jared beside me....It was a sold out croud and lots of noise and excitement. I didn't even cry when we barely lost because I was having so much fun and it was such a nailbiter game.

You know me and my camera....we just snap, snap snap....seagulls landing, seagulls taking off!

This is my long-time 'best friend' Linda Kohler and I when they (Bob and Linda) came for a weekend of just hanging out. We love the Kohlers so much....They were here for Valentine weekend.

Are'nt they darling......They send their love to all our kids who are really 'their kids too' they say.

My dolly, Natalie (Jeff's youngest) and her dolly. I was priviledged to stay an extra two weeks with them after Dad had to fly home (back to work...slave driver that I am).

I even got to witness Natalie's first walk across the room....wowie!

Hello Blogging World! So many times I have started to change my Blog and then I get intimidated and make excuses and dash to load the dishwasher or worse yet, I may even fix supper....now that is drastic fear of technology. For Christmas this year I was given an I-Pod and a laptop (well, Ray says it is his really) but my children are determined to get me to move into the 21st century.....I now can listen to music with things in my ears with the best of them...and I can pull up the internet while waiting in the Airport and look cool with all the rest of the travelors. So perhaps there is hope for this grandma and now Annie (I'm visiting in Elko for a couple of days) is helping me learn to change the background of my Blog so I can be 'seasonal' like the rest of you. I do love all the cute backgrounds you use....and yes, I do check your blogs from time to time and love all the updates. I am even thinking of putting some more pictures of our adventures since last Sept.....our most recent adventure began a week agao when we were set apart to be Humanitarian Missionaries for the next two years. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! We will stay in Twin Falls, live in our own home (I am so thrilled) and serve as coordinators of the Humanitarian Room in the Deseret Industries here. We will be supervising 5-8 other missionaries also called to serve in the HRS. So far it has been a great experience and we look forward to every day. The room is open Tue, Wed, and Thur. from 10am to 4pm so Ray is still working for the Driving School in the off hours and off days. Come see us and spend an hour in the HR anytime. You'll love it!

Day we were set apart

picts are a bit mixed up but this is in the HRoom...we took the fam over after we were set apart to show them what 'gma and gpa would be doing on their mission...the gkids had a fun time pretending to tie a quilt and looking in every nook and cranny.

Bishop White set us apart in the RS room on Sat. Feb. 18...it was so wonderful having this many of our family with us.....we missed the rest of you.

My father and sis joined us that day....Lea is also serving as a Humanitarian missionary now and we love having her in the HR with us.

I loved showing the little ones all the big indrustrial sewing machines I get to us now. Wow this mission is like sewing heaven for me. Truly, Ray and I feel so greatly loved and blessed by our Heavenly Father to have called us at this time to this mission and we will serve Him and His children to the best of our ability.
