Yellow Sunday!

Sunday Bruce and I made dinner for the 4 of us. As we were packing up, Bruce noticed that we were having a yellow dinner (didn't think about the colors as I was planning the meal). I made chicken enchiladas, chicken flavored rice (Rachel can't have spicy foods), corn and to drink Ginger Ale and Applie Juice. For dessert we had yellow frosted cupcakes! :) Travis had also bought banana creamies. Rachel's cousin, Megan, said we should have worn yellow! You know I would have had I thought of it before! Had a fun Sunday afternoon with the Thompsen Family!

Great Grandpa Jackson

Rachel's cousin, Danny Buffington and Bruce's Dad drove up to Clinton, Utah to visit Rachel, Travis and Brynlie! Great Grandpa Jackson being a little nervous as Rachel was giving Brynlie to him to hold asked, "Does she bite?"

When a Baby is born, a Grandma is too!

I am pleased to blog, that I am a first time Grandma! Yep, Rachel and Travis had their baby girl three weeks early:

My computer wasn't working until now and that is why I am so late in posting. Rachel and Brynlie doing well! Brynlie still not growing as fast as the doctor's would like her to, but she is healthy! Rachel is loving being a new mom and feels so lucky to be a stay-at-home!

I am going to spend Wednesday, Thursday, Friday helping both mom and baby!

One Year Ago!

Can't believe it has already been a year that my Dad passed away (January 13). It has been a completely different year and I miss my Dad very much! On Thursday, January 13, Ron, Carmen and I took the day off of work so that we could spend it with my Mom. We went shopping, visited my Dad's grave, and went to Chuck-a-Rama for lunch. We had a lot of fun talking and reminiscing. Very little tears. The only thing that was missing was our Dad! Love ya, Dad!
I have pictures, but it won't let me post them! ugh...

Have a Merry Christmas!

It Is Finally Done!!!

After 3 years September, of remodeling, we are finally done!

We were always going to carpet and at the very last minute we decided to put in Bamboo Floors! Loving it and so glad we did it!!!!

Our new bedroom. We put bamboo floors throughout the upstairs. We have two walls that are a dark brown and two walls and light brown!

Our computer/baby room! Not moved it yet. They put crown molding around the windows, which we love!

My craft room! I love my Frosted Mulberry (aka Purple) walls! It looks great! Now I gotta get it all organized.

15 years ago this weekend we moved into our home! We feel like we are moving into a new home again! Thanks to Danny and Ryan Buffington, Patrick Wong and his assistant! Also thanks to Bruce for moving and storing furniture from 3 rooms into one Family Room! Gotta love these men!
