Johann

Johann and I were at Multonoma Falls when this picture was taken. It was cold for me.

Johann and his friend were playing a game with a ping pong ball and cups with water in them. Johann was winning. The pictures are random I don't know how to arrange them yet.

Bill tieing knots to get reading for repelling.

Joahnn looks really nervous here. He is getting ready to repel

Now he looks pretty happy, he is almost down .

Johann said he loved repelling.

Here is the game again out of order. sorry It was late at night and they had the back light on.

Back at Multonoma Falls on the stairs

Johann looking over the edge of the mountain. A little scared?

Johann's friend.

Joahnn trying to get over the edge. Will he make it?

Great picture of Johann and his friend. Johan is on the left.

I think I might even have this picture somewhere. We are in Oregon and he is checking out his photo's that he has done.

Whoops.

Repelling.

Ping pong

Bill and Johann at Multonoma Falls again.

Johann is great at taking beautiful pictures. This is of the river coming down from the vista house in Oregon .

Spring around our House

I love when all these flowers are in bloom. It has been raining a lot and now they need some sunshine.

Sorry I don't know how to delete a picture. So here is two of the same. We are getting seriously into composting. We hardly have any garbage to put out. We put our table scraps, lawn clippings, weeds dirt and we will use this for our garden. We also recycle almost everything. We need two recycle cans instead of two garbage cans because we have very little garbage. It's a good feeling.
Bill hurt his back while sleeping somehow and he took a very strong pain pill. I don't think an earthquake would have woke him up.

Our apple tree is in full bloom. It looks so pretty. I love spring.

Fun with the Grandkids at Jungle Jim's

We go to Jungle Jim's a lot. Donovan is getting too big for this. He was so cute with the kids. He made sure they weren't scared and watched every move they made. Thank you Donovan.

I love this picture of Lucas. It shows his beautiful hair. He found many friends.

Lucas having a great time by himself.

Peyton enjoying the Merry-Go-Round.

Donovan and Sammy again. Donovan is so grown up now.

Before the ride started.

Cutest Madi and Anthony. They went on this ride about 10 times in a row. She was a cute little mother just like Emma.

Anthony on one of his favorite things. A helicopter is his favorite however.

Mother's Day

We were at Susan's house for Mother's Day. Penny, Johann and Grandma Audrey

This picture is Bill, Jim, Susan, back of Johann's head and Grandma's head

Julia, Bill, Johann, and Grandma Audrey. We had Roast, red potatoes, carrots, salad and fruit with rootbeer floats for dessert.

You can certainly tell who has more meat on them. My incredible sisters and wonderful mother.

These flowers came to my door on Monday the 10th of May. They were from Della and Michael. They are in Wyoming now and was unable to be here.

I love the saying on the tile, "The greatest gift ever given to me came from Heaven. It's my family. :)

Almost Summer Vacation

There won't be a picture here today but if you could see me I would look like Albert Einstein. I am pulling my hair out trying not to hurt one of my students. They are so ready to be gone and they are full of it. I have lots of fun labs prepared and the time couldn't go faster. Michael gets married this weekend and that is my salvation for this week. I will post pictures of this wonderful event.

And then the next week we fly to California to watch Ben graduate. What an accomplishment!! I can't wait.

My other salvation is reading the blogs of my family. It makes my day. I look so forward to that it calms me down and lets me know that life is too short to worry about much.

Life is good. :)

Trip to Oregon

This is the top of Multanoma Falls. Johann and Bill climbed to the top of the falls. I was too scared to do that.

Volcano. I believe it was Mt. Hood.

Top looking down at the falls. They are right on the edge. It makes me dizzy even looking at this.

Astoria Bridge. When you cross it from Oregon you end up in Washington State. It is a very tall bridge and the first time I went over it I freaked!

Catch Up

Gee, Do I really have a blog? This morning I went to breakfast with two of my favorite friends. Jami was in town and about ready to go back home. Gayle announced that she was getting married and we met her fiance. He is a very down to earth person. I am so happy for Gayle. Here are a few pictures of us at breakfast.
