Easter 2010 in AZ

 

We had a lot of fun going to Arizona for Easter!

It took us about 5 hours to get to Dwight & Carols house.

The next day, Bud & I headed out for a 8 hour drive 

checking out the Prescott and Flagstaff areas

for when Bud retires.

We really liked the Flagstaff area, Prescott was ok.

Rachel & Emily had a fun day with Carol.

We got back around 5pm and spent the evening

with Dwight, Carol, Big Emily, Mark, Donna & Cyanna

coloring eggs and having an egg hunt in the house.  

Emily had lots of fun hiding the eggs for the adults to find.

A couple of times we really had to search to find them or
Carol was gonna find them later when they started to stink.

Sunday started with the girls and Dwight & Carol

going horseback riding while Bud & I slept in a little.

Later around 5pm we had our Easter dinner.

Kyle & Carla joined us, along with Randy,

his mom and her boyfriend.

Great food, great company!!!

I even gave in a had a little dinner (cheated only a little).

Then Monday we headed home a took a 2 hour detour checking out Wickenburg, and Peebels AZ.

It was great finally getting home.

It was a great quick (much needed) get-away!!!!!

Thanks to the Klappers for having us!

Buds 52!

Bud turned 52 on 3-28-10

For his B-day dinner we had Roast Chicken
with Wild Rice Pilaf,corn on the cob, biscuits,
and Pinapple-upside down cake with ice cream.

The Martins came over for dinner
and then the Morgans and Kinneys 

came over for cake & ice cream.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Christmas @ Glamis 2009

Lots of fun a Glamis.

I wish I had taken more pics of the people that were there.

Next time!!!

The kids had fun making gingerbread houses,
riding and playing in the sand.

It was just an all around great trip with NO problems.
A very relaxing way to spend Christmas
with no phones ringing.

I think I made a total of 7 or 8 scarfs
while I was there.
We didn't have a real tree this year,
so our palm trees filled in.  Thanks to Rus!

Thanksgiving @ Glamis 2009

Thanksgiving was fun!

It was only Bud, Jake, Rachel, Emily and I.

We missed the older girls!!!

Here's Emily practicing the piano while on vacation.

She wasn't to happy about that, but she's a trooper.

Next two pictures are of us at Thanksgiving dinner with the group.

Jake ended up having to leave right after dinner,

he had to work the next day.

Yes, that's my mountain man Mr. Bud behind that facial hair.  LOL!

And his son is taking after him.

After that is Bud teaching Emily how to use a cluth

so that she can move up to a bigger quad.

Don't know that I'm ready for her to do that!!!

Emily back on her quad, and then Rachel putting around

waiting to go on a ride.

Ready - Set - Gooooo!!!

I believe Bud won.
