The Places Ive seen!

As I was traveling in the semi truck with my husband I  got to thinking of all the places Ive been and seen.
I am not a world traveler by any means but I have been on some fun trips through out the years.
I have been as far east as Mertyle Beach in South Carolina and as far north as Canada. Seen the sunset in the Mexican Riviera and took a steam boat ride in Laughlin Nevada on the Colorado river.
I have traveled through the western states with my hubby in the truck and through the mid west a few times.
 One of my favorite places to go was Tennessee a few years back. The people were so friendly and everywhere you went they would call you honey or sugar pie. One lady asked my how many younguns did I have. I love the rolling hills they called mountains and all the  small red barns along the roads.In North Carolina you can see tobacco plantations and cotton growing everywhere. One of the most beautiful trees Ive seen is the magnolia tree.
My son lives in Indiana and when we visit I got to go to Lake Michigan which is huge! In Indiana it is very humid but I enjoyed the beautiful trees and farms all over. We even went to Ohio in Amish country. What I liked best of all besides visiting family was the lightening bugs, they would come out at dusk and float all around I think they are magical.
As a child our family went on many trips we went to places like Grand Canyon, California coast where our dad buried us kids in the sand , Colorado we saw the Mesa Indiana ruins, Yellowstone Park and saw buffalo, Lake Powell where we saw Rainbow Bridge, and so many wonderful camping trips with our grandparents.
I have been on a cruise to the Mexican riviera twice once with my mom and sisters and just last year with my hubby. While on my first trip there I wanted to be brave so I tried the banana boat it looked like fun bouncing around on the back so I climbed  on but the next thing I remember was being pick out of the ocean by a Mexican saying to much tequila for you!  You can bet I wont go on no banana boat again any time soon
My recent trip to the Mexico in Cabo San Lucas I was brave and went snorkeling and saw some beautiful fish and enjoyed the sun in January.
Another fun trip I remember was our trip to Disney land on Lacey's 12th birthday. we traveled in the semi truck and stayed a couple of nights in a hotel and a couple of nights in the truck. We had so much fun riding all the rides and we even went to the beach and played in the sand and saw killer whales.
I have only mentioned a few of what I have seen and places Ive been. But As beautiful and fun as some of the places I have visited the best place is home among the beautiful mountains and my family.

I'm Blogging again!

It has been forever since I have blogged but nobody noticed except my sister Tammy I miss her very much and ever since she moved away we don't keep up like we should and she inspired me to start blogging again.
I will tell you what each of my family members is up to these days and I will start with Lacey.

Lacey is a senior at Bear river High and is on the color guard team she wakes up at 5 am 4 mornings a week for practice . She is also the yearbook editor and Laurel President. She had a busy summer with practices, parades, raising a lamb, and helping with the Brigham City Temple open house. She participated in a cultural dance festival which was so awesome and it was a spiritual experience.

Alex has been living in Vernal Utah and working on an oil rig. He visits now and then but we miss his fun spirit in our home.

Peter and Bonni about two months ago had a baby girl they named Katherine Brooke. She is very sweet and Pete is a good dad and husband. Bonni is going to Nebraska university. Peter and Bonni live in Lincoln Nebraska and Jay and I were fortunate to visit them when Katie was born. While we were there they blessed her. They are doing wonderful and they might visit for Christmas.

Andy is living at home and completing his degree at Utah State in Logan. He should be done in the spring and we are anxiously awaiting to see  what his plans are after college.

J.J. and Sam  they have the cutest family. They live in Indiana their kids are  Lee is 6,  Rocky just turned 4 and Miriam is cute as can be 19 months old. J.J. is working as a maintenance mechanic at a bakery and Sam is going back to school. We are so proud of them and love and miss them very much.

Jay is busy driving truck but he loves it most of the time. We did manage to take a break this summer and go camping in Idaho with our good friends the Sperry's.
 John also helped this summer as a usher at the Brigham City Temple.

Some sad news that happened in September was my Step Dad Randy passed away. We loved him so much and we will miss him dearly.

I am still a cook at Garland elementary and I love that job. I love that I am home early and I have holidays and summer vacation. This week we have 3 days off for fall break. I want to spend time with my daughter , mom, and mother inlaw.  I am also very busy as the Primary President  in our ward and I always have some projects going  to occupy my time.

I hope that I can continue with my blogging and I will try to cath up on reading everyone's blog too.
 So Happy blogging everyone!
