Happy 60th Birthday Chicky Vickie

Just a few of the pictures taken at Chicky's surprise birthday party. I put a lot more on facebook for everyone to see. It was a great day. Bob and Jason outdid themselves both writing a song for her special day. Love you so much Vickie and want you to know what a blessing it is to have you as a sister.

Fun with Dottie, Chicky, John, Bob and Lindsay

We had so much fun having Dottie here in Arizona if only for 24 hours (way too short a time). Anway, after her grand surprise of showing up at my door to attend Sheri's baby shower and we all recovered from shock "Grin" John, Vickie and I met Bob and Lindsay for Mexican food. It was fun and they didn't even have to ask us to leave for being too loud "Grin". (Dottie...thank you so much for coming down to the shower...you made it extra special for Sheri Babe)

My Little Sister Chicky Vickie

I was just thinking that it will be nice when Chicky finally gets her internet up and running again. Even though she is here in Arizona and I can drop by and see her anytime or call...I still miss seeing her clever blogs and comments. I am going to keep a vigilant lookout for that first blog again soon...I know she really wants to get on her computer and say hi. Go Chicky.,..Post Chicky...Blog Chicky.

John and Our New BBQ - Way Too Funny!

Yes...we got a new BBQ and John decided to put it together inside the house "go figure" Grin!! He kind of looked like Steve when he was doing his taxes on Tami's post. Anyway...after a thousand nuts and bolts found their place (with a few were left over...hmm men should really read the instructions) it was finally put together. Now if it WILL ONLY FIT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR! Never fear...he did get it through and we had some really nice steaks for dinner. Yummy...hey...where is Kolton..he makes the best steaks EVER.

What Should Emily, Sheri and I Do Today...Lets Crochet

Love to keep our idle hands busy...wow...look at Emily and Sheri go. They will each be pros before you know it. I love to crochet and it is fun teaching the girls!!!! Course..the joke is that even though I finish a lot of the ones I start...I still have about six I need to finish "Grin". Hopefully, they will finish their projects!!!

Trip to Cottonwood, Jerome and Sedona

Was a nice time to get away for some R&R. The weather was nice except for the one day...see how dark the clouds were...lots of rain. John is sitting on a bench in a doggie park in Sedona. Brandye was having fun. Jerome was very interesting...lots of wild west history and our campground was next to the Verde River in Cottonwood

Cousins from Ohio - Sarah and Dave Hug

It was fun having Dave and Sarah over while they were visiting Arizona from Ohio. Bob and Lindsay came over too. Bob and Sarah were pool partners and Dave and I were partners and needless to say the better team won two out of three games...that being Dave and I "Grin"...better luck next time Bob..practice up and maybe you can be the next winner "LOL. Lindsay was a good sport cheering both teams on. We celebrated our with pies from Marie Calendars...yummy!! Can't wait for them to come back to visit next year!!

M&M Puzzle Finally Completed! Yeah!!!!!

Sheri and I finally completed this puzzle and I have to admit it was hard! Sheri did the most..she has a really keen puzzle eye "Grin". And yes..we can say Cool Grandpa John helped..he found a piece on the floor. LOL

Gold Rush Days in Wickenburg - John and Ginger

We drove about 50 miles up to the town of Wickenburg for their Gold Rush Days. Kind of a tradition for this town every year. Look at John buying us each a sundae...yummy! We sat down and listened to a blue grass band while we ate them. It was as a fun day walking around the town, seeing all the vender tents, antique autos on display, lots of food, fun watching all the people. A sunshine R&R day for John and I. This whole week has been fun...we also went to the Renaissance Festival out in Apache Juntion...see John's blog for pictures of that fun day.

John among the antiques..which one is he????

Super Bowl Pictures - Fun Times

These are just a few of the 107 pictures I took at our Super Bowl party and doesn't show all 28 that attended. It was lots of fun...but the Cardinals didn't win....bummer. Since I am a Steelers fan of 40 years...I guess it was a Win..Win for me "Grin". Ate lots, cheered and yelled a lot and just had a fun time. Go Cardinals next season!!!!
