Father's and Son's 2010

John Took these pictures at Father and son's this year. I asked why there were no picture's of Alex and was told that from the moment they set camp until they left Alex was off who knows where with all of his friends. This is also the camp sight that a bear was spotted at a few hours before everyone got there. I am always surprised that everyone makes it back in one piece from these trips,lol

Chillin'

This girl cracks me up!

You have to love two year olds! As bad as they can be they are always willing to put on a show. Brie is such a silly little thing and I sure love her!

Smart little cookie

Ryann made National Jr. honor society this school year. She received straight A's and we are so proud of all of her hard work. WAY TO GO RYANN!

Love to Grandma Burden

On Friday my Grandma passed away. She was a wonderful Grandma and I have fond memories of spending weekends at her house. She would take us to church, folk dancing, and to festivals. I loved that she was crafty and loved to make us matching dresses and we all loved the year that she made us baby dolls. My sister and my cousins and I would watch the smurfs and dance to solid gold every Saturday.We loved to go to her house and she was so good to us all.I miss her silver dollar pancakes that we had every Sunday before church and I make them for my own children.I remember melting chocolate to make candy for suckers at Easter. She was the first person in my life that gave me knowledge that I had a savior and that he loved me. I hope that one day I will be a great Grandma just like her. Much love Grandma.

Ryann playing with Mark Wood

The advanced orchestra at Ryann's Middle school got to do a clinic and concert with Mark Wood this week. Ryann was lucky enough to be able to do a duet with him on the electric Violin. Guess what Ryann wants now.

Camping in Santa Fe

Last weekend we went camping in the mountains in Santa Fe. It still a little cold up there but it is so beautiful!
