It is SO fun being a Pompa and MeeMa

Vicki and Jessica brought the kids up tonight for a welcome surprise. I had just made Ken some dinner so of course Miss Hadlee felt the need to eat dinner for the 2nd time, what a surprise. Tyden was only interested in the strawberries that there seems to be a never ending supply of at MeeMa's house. After getting her spaghetti all over her face Hadlee had to have a brownie and then it was off to the shower she went. It didn't take long for Tyden to find out where she was so he hopped in with her. It is a fight to get them out that is for sure.

It is so cool up here tonight we had the windows open so the kids were cold after there shower so they snuggled up on the couch with us with their favorite soft blankies.

Here is a picture of Auntie Sis that Tyden wanted to take. Not bad for a 3 year old.........:)

My friend had this fun survey on her blog and it determines what year you belong to. I belong in 1979 which I am good with. It was the year before I graduated high school and I didn't have a care in the world.........:)

This is what it says about me..............what do you think? I hope being brash isn't a bad thing. ~Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!~

Let me know what year you belong to. http://www.blogthings.com/whatyeardoyoubelonginquiz

This should be fun!

A cute family friend of ours did this on her blog. We have known her family many years before she was born so it was so fun to share a memory I had with her, of her! So I thought I would do the same on mine so as you all post on my blog hopefully you will do the same on yours so I can share a memory of you on your blogs.


1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you remember me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you! If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing and leave a memory about you on your blog!

Saturday ride

Last Saturday we went on a ride on the motorcycles with Steve, Deb, Jessica and Phil. Here is a picture of them. I took it as I was on the back of Kenny's bike. Not bad huh?

I just love taking pictures of nature. Jessica had her camera so I asked her to take this one for me.
Jessica took this one of me and Kenny. Can you tell I use my hands when I talk????

This is a picture of a grove of Aspens, it is on the Alpine loop. It is sooo beautiful. If you ever get the chance take the short drive.

The Secret is out!!!

Yes, it is true Jessica and Phil are pregnant. I have known since Thursday but they just told Kenny lastnight for his birthday so now it is a free for all. We are VERY excited to have another baby in the family...............it is a girl too. Just a feeling............................:)

Happy Birthday Kenny!!

Yep, it is time to indulge me one more time as I brag about my best friend, at least it isn't another picture of that deer..............lol!!

Today is Kenny's birthday, 52 years old. Yesterday was our 26 year anniversary and we both kept saying we couldn't' believe it had been that long. He has been married to me half of his life so far, poor guy. It is crazy that we are still so much in love and enjoy spending so much time together. I remember the day we met I "knew" he was the one. I know people say that but to those of us who have had that happen to us, we know with a certainty that permeates down into our soul. Sorry, I just didn't know how else to say it. There are times when I can still see him walking to a restaurant or somewhere that we are meeting and I will remember how I felt that very first time I saw him.........I still feel that same way. I am grateful to this man for many things, for loving me and for letting our children see that as they were growing up, for honoring his Priesthood, for teaching our son that same principle, for being a friend to so many, for struggling so hard to get us to the Temple, for his sense of humor (did I just say that), for being an awesome Dad, and most importantly.......for loving me every minute that we have been together.

This is a million dollar photo, don't you think?

I know you all think I am about crazy by now. Well to be honest I could very well me but I could not pass this photo opportunity up. Pico has been staring or growling at this little deer for weeks so I figured it was time for them to meet. The deer was about 5 or 6 feet away at first and he just came closer as Pico sat stoically on that rock. It was very funny because they were both so curious. Pico eventually lost interest and turned his attention to something that he found more interesting.

Avery and her wild stories

This is my niece Avery....I am really her great Aunt but that makes me sound much older then I am so let's just call her my niece. She is so funny and tells stories like mad. This morning she was looking at my pictures on the table by the front door. She was telling me all about out how her Daddy was in charge because he likes to spank her and man does it hurt because he spanks hard....her Daddy does not like to spank her nor does she get a lot of spankings, let's just clear that up right now. She loves her hair and I asked her if she knew how to do her hair. She said no her mommy always does it for her. I told her she should practice on her mommy's hair so she could then do her little sisters hair when she was born. There is no baby on the way, this is just something that I wanted to plant in Avery's head so she could then bug her parents about a baby sister..............lol! It is my job to irritate Autumn when it comes to her children.....:) Avery promptly told her mother that she needed to do her hair so she would be good at doing her little sisters hair. Autumn being the good mother that she is went right up stairs so Avery could do what she wanted.

Now this is my niece Autumn and this is the beautiful hairdo that Avery did for her. She was very proud of this and game bouncing down the stairs full of excitement at what she had accomplished. I of course helped Avery take this lovely photo of her mother and explained to her I would put it on my blog for all the world to see. Avrels Teany ( a nicname from Jessica) here you go your first of many lovely hair do's. I love you!!!
