What Happened to our Cabin?

Looks like it will be a while before we can get in to the cabin this year - and more snow is expected tonight! But after the last five or six years of drought, how can we complain? It's too bad we're not cold weather people - the snowmobiling is great up there now!

Onward Viewmont Vikings!

Scott and I took a trip to Bountiful to watch my nephew Tommy play in the Viewmont vs. Weber High basketball game. It was so nice of Tommy to be the star of the game —just for us, of course — he scored 28 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, had 4 blocks, and several steals and assists (Brent, did I get all the stats right?). We've always had a soft spot in our hearts for Tommy, and it was great to be with my Mom & Dad, my sister Julie, my brother Brent and my nephew Brady cheering for my alma mater again.

Birthday Fun

I had my 22nd birthday a few weeks ago (since I started going back down after 39). Shellie, George and Abby came up and Kenny's family joined us for dinner at Benja's Thai and Sushi. The kids did great - until the end when Abby started getting a little antzy - then Corbin and Bailey danced for her to keep her happy. She got laughing pretty good at that!

Four Wheelin'

George, Brian, Emily, Kirk, Mike and Kenny all went to the Sand Hollow Sand Dunes in St. George to ride 4-wheelers. They had a blast! One of the highlights was seeing Kirk do a "tuck and roll" off of his machine and into the sand when he thought it was going to roll. George said he never thought he would see a grey-haired man move so fast!

They Still Make Their Mother Crazy!

When Mike and his family visited in December, my four sons, along with Brian's girlfriend, Emily, decided to take a trip to the Toroweep Lookout at the Grand Canyon. It takes a couple of hours to get there from Santa Clara - 60 miles on a dirt road to this viewpoint. Those who went said the view of the 3,000 ft. vertical drop to the Colorado river is breathtaking. . . but there are no railings! I love beautiful scenery, but not enough to get anywhere close to this. . . and, I let it be known right away that under no circumstances, were they taking ANY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN!!! My sons still tried to make me crazy by taking these pictures. At least when I looked at the photos, everyone was back home safe.

BeanLee Grandkids

It was great to have all five grandkids together. Here they are having a great time playing in the leaves (weird that they fell off the tree when they were all still green). Of course they all love their custom-made-by-Megan BeanLees! http://beanlees.blogspot.com

Making Play Dough

Trent and Garret and I making playdough. We had so much fun spending time together. It was hard to see them go. They have now successfully made their trek from Hawaii to Washington D.C. and are ready to explore their new world.
