Visiting Grandma Louine

 We spent a couple hours visiting Grandma Louine in Provo.  The kiddos loved her tire swing, basketball court and backyard to play in  

Cross Country Running

My little sister Natalie is an awesome runner!  She got into it a few years ago at East High and has killed it ever since.  We are all really impressed with her and she took Regionals a couple weeks ago and placed in State last week!  Now, she has to decide if she wants to run in college, scholarships, etc...... lucky her!

Maybe I should have run in high school?  Nah, I was lazy though and was too busy causing trouble and annoying my parents, ha!  Here are some pics from the race last week, and some other ones during her season!!  Enjoy and congrats to Natalie!

G-Ma

This is my grandma Shields and she is awesome!  I look up to her.  This picture was taken at the annual Neck N Nog Wassail Party 2 years ago.  yes, she comes to them and loves them.  If she hears about a party and she was not invited then she feels left out, it's true.  We love to have her and always invite her. 

Any one who knows her knows that she loves to talk about all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  And trust me, there are a lot of them!  She shows up at every family event and is always up for an adventure.  Seriously she is.  When we went boating a couple weeks ago, she came to the lake, in her swimsuit all ready to go.  When she came to lake Powell with is a couple summers ago, she did the exact thing.  She even wanted to get on the tube and get a pull with some of the kids.  How cool is that? 

I only hope and pray that I can be adventurous as she is.  Go G-ma we look up to you in so many ways!  See you at the next party!
