Harper's First Birthday Party at Nellis AFB

Alaina modeling the tu tu Autumn made for Harper....cute
Atticus loves both of Alli & Buddy's dogs, here he is with Chloe.
Alaina kept Chloe and Izzy entertained while the chicken was on the grille.
Aunt April could not get enough of holding Harper....
Keith got to hold his daughter for a few minutes......and then.....
Aubreana had to get a hold on Harper.........then Alaina washed her hands
so she could get a hold of Harper for a few minutes........
What an awesome cake Autumn got for all of us........yummy too!
Buddy & Alli our military's BEST did a way cool job of cooking a yummy meal for us
all with the jets flying over for their practice flights, it was just awesome. Good thing
their house is sound proof.....
The best part was watching Harper's face as we sang to her and she had her very own
cake to eat and she did a great job. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARPER, welove you!

Easter with the Family

So we had a great time at Easter... we had all 5 girls come and we did all the egg hunt and lots of food and games and late, late nights and kids sleeping everywhere...downstairs.... and we even blessed Harper too. She was so cute in the same dress her mommy, Autumn wore... hope you all enjoy the pictures because I had fun taking them....

Come to The Old Folks Home! Fun for All!

We are excited for you all to flock to our house....
Come dance with our dancing eggs and get some pictures taken too!!!!
See G-mas art work for the rock garden path we are building.....
G-mas lion and baby cubs have a new home under the shade of Timmy Tree, that is one ton of rock g-pa and g-ma shoveled there.....
Oh, and we got a new weed whacking system that is working out very nicely. We don't have to worry about the fire season with the sheep taking care of the 2 acres easily within one week!
So please come to the old folks home for Easter week-end fun, egg hunts and food too......see you real soon.....

A look back at March....

Amber decided to go on a mountain bike ride with Austin and Dave......
This is at Aubreana's surprise relative party...Alli, April, Harper and Autumn.....fun
Aubreana was really surprised and we made her wear the St. Patrick's day headband...after all her B-day is March 17th....We went to her school to pick her up and she did not know we drove over from Utah... what a fun surprise!!!!
Austin and Aubreana make a sandwich out of little Harper, I don't think she liked it much!
April made a real yummy cake...make a good wish! Does that wish involve the 1st dance at church on Saturday night...she is 14 now!!!
This was Austin on his first mountain bike ride up in no man's land.....he loved it!
These are our visitor's from New Zealand... Tash, Arama and their son, Tyrone...so much fun, and I loved listening to them all talk, especially Tyrone calling me "Auntie"!
Allison and Buddy came to help Keith and Autumn with their move to Las Vegas! Harper could not figure out where she was....
This is the front of Autumn and Keith's new place in N. Vegas...it was a long, hard day and it was so sad when we had to go home and leave Atticus and Harper, and keith and Autumn too!!!!

So in March we had a move,visitors from New Zealand, a Birthday surprise party,I did a quick road trip to California alone, a couple of great mountain bike rides, Amy,Bob and their 2 daughters visited also, and Allison turned 21 at the end of the month....way to much fun..

Jayden's Birthday-Valentine's

We had Jayden's Birthday dinner at our house and she wanted enchiladas, Spanish rice, beans, salad and of course chocolate cake....
Dave and I have shared many, many Valentine's Days together... like 42.... wow! It is still nice...
I made all the G-kids heart pillows. I even took pictures. Dave and I are having some G-kids here for Valentines so I made him a special dinner on Friday the 13th...I made Lobster tails, asparagus, big baked potatoes, cut up fresh fruit and finally white chocolate dipped strawberries for desert. Look at pictures....April are you proud of me...

Remebering my mom

I did not write in my blog for a long time.... My mom died on January 1st, 2009. She had broken her hip a while ago and never recovered from the complications, her hip healed but she was in so much pain. We had a nice service for her in Orange, Ca. I had the privilege of being able to do my mom's hair, nails and dress her. It was very special to me. Dave conducted and April gave the opening prayer, I gave the eulogy and did a way cool picture board and each person went home with a nice 4x6 picture of mom in her Navy uniform from WW2. Dave dedicated the grave and Jefferey did the throwing of the dirt, plus Susan sprinkled the Holy Water so mom was sent off by all. It is hard to believe that Dave and I have no living parents now. Dad died when he was just 60, so mom was a young widow in her 50's. Now they can dance...

Wild Wilburn Week-end Thanksgiving!!!

What can I say... my family is so much fun for us. We love having everyone come. Alli showed up straight off the Air Force base...Frank cut his work day short and surprised us, Buddy came from his dad's to join us and Dan even stopped by to take Amber in(I mean on a ride along, what a fun date)We all had a blast and took some 5 sister pictures, the cousin pictures, family pictures. I just love having our time together. This year our theme was "We are Family" and we really are!
Love all of you...more pictures will be posted...
