Shandra's Birthday

Happy, Happy Birthday to Shandra! She is 23 years old today - I think she is really only 21, but she keeps insisting that she is 23. I'm not sure how she could have gotten this old already!

To celebrate her birthday she took the day off work and told me that she wanted to spend the entire day with me - I was feeling very honored that she wanted to share her special day with her mom until I asked her what she wanted to do all day. She then sprung it on me, she wanted to spend the day at our friend, Cynthia's house! I'm pretty sure that she was just using me as an excuse when all along she wanted to spend the day with Cynthia, not me! And who could blame her? Cyn is the greatest! If you ever want to spend hours and hours eating food, playing games, and laughing then Cyn's house is the place to be! In addition to being the funnest gal around, Cyn is a superwoman. Right now she spends her days babysitting her three granddaughters ages 9 months, 12 months, and 3 1/2 every day. In additions to rocking, bouncing, and playing with two babies and a preschooler, she also manages to cook fantastic meals and desserts and keep an amazingly organized home.

Shandra and I kidnapped Cyn when the moms came for their children and we went shopping at Tai Pan. Too much fun!

Shandra requested Chimichangas for her birthday dinner.

We love Cyn and her family. We always have a terrific time there!
After dinner we started playing games, and just got silly. I was pleasantly suprised when everyone caught a case of "Audreyisms". It was most comical to hear Sheryce, Cyn, and especially Tanissa mix up almost as many words as I did. Perhaps my illness is contagious????? Of course, Shandra just laughed at us and got out a pencil and paper to write everything down for her next post!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANDRA! Thanks for a great day!

OH Happy Birthday Shandra!!!! I am now seriously craving a chimi!

Thank you so mucy for your kind words on my blog about the calling! It really meant a lot coming from you! I needed that! I will really really really miss everyone so much! Right now it's just me, Jenny H. and Kristy left that were in before! Waa-waa!!! But it will all be good and we will have another good group of women!

Thanks again!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?) Shandra, Natalie, Mickel, LaurieJo Bottom: Stephanie, Jan, Casey, Grandpa, Doug, Grandma, David, Ben, Justin Dennis, Barbara, Kim, Jody, Alicia Kalel Birthday:  Covid is still a constant threat, and I'm still working from home.  However, we did feel safe in having a family-only party for Kalel's birthday.  There is a new place here in town called Half  Axed.  We left Little Miss with Joey because we felt it would be just a little too dangerous for her and went to try our hand at axe-throwing. We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
