Why I LOVE being a grandma!!!

I think Jack is the cutest baby on the planet!

A long time ago.... in a land not so far away....

It was Halloween! I am so far behind in posting. I will have to just hit on the highlights and move on. For Halloween we had the 3rd Annual Carving of the Pumpkins. (we missed the Porter's, but added a few more families) Here are some pics of the festivities. Enjoy!!!

(i have tons more, will post later) (don't hold your breath!!!!)

I went to Lisa Jackson's blog and she had the following picture taken from the thermometer on her car smart mirror...

This temp. should be in Saudi Arabia NOT Mesa!!!

I seriously do not know if I will survive the heat this summer. We went to a Keith Urban concert last night. It was at Jobing Arena. We walked over to Johnny Rockets before it started and there was a line out the door. I groaned. It wasnt the wait, but it was over 107 out there with the wind blowing. That sounds great but when the wind blows it is like turning on a gigantic hair dryer aimed right at your face on hot hot hot!!! So we waited. I am glad we did because Miranda Bodrero saw us and came and ate with us. But... she and T were making fun of us because when the manager came to the door and said "does anyone want to share a table and come in now?" I was all over it and practically knocked people over stumbling over myself to get into the a/c!!! I really don't think I will make it until November when it starts cooling off. UGUGHGHGH!

So I had never ridden on an ATV before. I was a little nervous. But then Apryl (who is in 3rd grade) showed me all the ropes. She was so cute. You woulda thought that she was born riding one. So here are some pic's of us having a blast, and doin' what Apryl calls "mud doggin'"!!!

Nancy Bodrero & I

Nancy is my first friend in Mesa Arizona. I am so lucky to have a friend like her. She took me under her wing and has been there for me and Terry forever and always. She is one of those people ya just know you will be friends with into the eternities. Love ya, nanc!

Mesa Easter Pageant 2009

I love the pageant. Lou and the Kennedy Kids came up this year to see it with us. It was Lou's first time. I was so glad that they came. Ricky Bodrero was an apostle this year, so we took pictures with him. It was fantastic as always.

I wanna be an angel!!!

The very first year that I moved here Terry took me to the Mesa temple Easter pageant. He had been in it the last three years and knew every line by heart, and when I say heart I mean he loves this pageant with his whole heart! He was begging me to audition for it the following year... the only part that I fell in love with was the angels. (ok, not the only, but my fav!) Then he broke the news, only single adults can be angels. So not fair!!! I guess the closest I will get is taking pictures of them every year. :o(
