My Mom's Wedding

Saturday the 16th my Mom and Randy were married. It was a nice ceremony and my Mom looked so happy. There were married at the judges home in his back yard and it had a beautiful back drop of a waterfall. Afterwards we had dinner at Randy's favorite Restaurant Mimi's.

I am so happy for them both they look so happy together.

Bella

We received this cute dog from my mother. She has been fun to have in our home and she is so cute! My husband and the boys really wanted a basset hound but since I do all the work in talking care of the dog, I should be the one who decides what kind of dog. Bella is a Shih Tzu.

Bella is a great companion and she helps me get out of the house and go for walks.

I even think my husband and the boys are growing to love her as much as Lacey and I do.

Happy Anniversary!!

Today is our 26th wedding Anniversary. We celebrated it last weekend in Idaho Falls. Why in Idaho Falls? Because we just wanted to get away to someplace close and I wanted to go to the Temple there.

We stayed in a hotel right by the falls and we could look out the door and see the temple.

We visited the Idaho museum and toured the Titanic artifacts. When you get there they give you a boarding pass and at the end you see if you survived. I was a lady from Provo Utah studying nursing and Jay was a Cornell in the army. We did not survive.

I really enjoyed the history of the Titanic and we had a good time learning more about it. I bought a souvenir book to remember the experience. I think I will watch the movie today.

We had a nice dinner at a place called Rutabaga's, it was a little to fancy for us and they didn't put a price on the menu. But we were adventures and ordered anyway. I had some fancy chicken cooked with several kinds of wine, Jay ordered the steak tenderloin. We shared an appetizer of Muscles with saffron butter sauce and we had salad with huckleberry vinaigrette. When the salad was brought out Jay commented on the dandelion greens, we could have picked them from our own yard it would have been cheaper. When we got the bill it was kind of high but it was all right. We don't eat at fancy restaurants usually. Dare to be different once in awhile.

We also went to the Temple and we did some work for our ancestors. I was able to get my great great grandmothers work done Juliana Archuletta. I really have enjoyed doing my genealogy. I hope to find some more names and stories.

The last part of our trip we took a road trip around Driggs and Rexburg and by Rigby.

We wanted to visit my brother but he was not at home.

Next year my husband is planing the event, hopefully he takes me somewhere warm!

I also got a cute pet on Easter. Her name is Bella and I will post more about her in the near future.

My Daddy

Today is the anniversary of my Dad's death.

the following is some of the memories I have of my Dad.

I always remember my Dad in the garden. I would help him plant tomatoes, he would dig the hole in the ground and my job was to fill the hole with wate and place the tomato plant in it.

I remeber my dad and his movie camera.On every holiday, camping,birthday or road trip, he take picture of us. I still have copies of his films. It brings back so many memories.

I remeber how much he taught us to work. and to value the good and simple things of life.

I miss having my Dad around he was a wonderful Dad!
