Our St.George Family ~

While we were off on our little trip last week, we got to spend time with Joe, Em & Tess!! We always love seeing them, cause it's just not darn often enough! They always make us feel so welcome in their home, and we had a terrific time! Friday night we enjoyed a fun time at the Enterprise High vs Virgin Valley High football game! Go Coach Bott !! Go Wolves !!

We drove around alot, house hunting, and enjoying the beautiful scenery down there, and of course had to hit our favorite eateries while in town.One of My new favs is MARV'S -- best darn burgers and fries in town!!

Thanks for the good time guys, and hope to see you all soon..LOVES XOXO

Budding Photographer

Ryker and Ethney spent the night awhile ago, and I got a little camera happy. Ryker decided he wanted to take pictures of the important stuff, and so I gave him the camera for awhile.

Here are a few of his masterpieces.

His foot
The wasps trapped in the tree (kinda cool picture)
His feet (good subjects)
The moose wave

His Bike
His Bike seat
Sister sleeping
Grandma (his fingers kinda got in the way)
Grandpa sleeping

36 Years, and then some............

How does the time slip by so quickly? The first time I met this skinny young boy, I thought there was more excitement wrapped up in him then I had seen in awhile! He was kind of a rebel, speeding around town in his little jeep, music blaring, and full of the dickens. He was also going out with one of my friends, so that's all he was to me. I remember like it was yesterday, hanging out in the halls of BHS, cruising around town in Lynette's car, mostly just to spy on Roger to see if he was stepping out on her!?!

That was before he came over to the dark side!
Once he was mine, he had to put up with my crazy family! I don't know why he stuck around after I got grounded just for going with him to the "Three Dog Night" concert!! It was worth it though. After that it was a battle, just to see each other. But we figured it out and now here we are, many years later.......still holding each other up. Hasn't always been easy, but it's been wonderful!! Thanks Rog, for not giving up on me, when most other guys would have wanted to get far away from that craziness. Our kids have alot to do with us making it this far too.............Thanks, all of you !!! We love you and are so grateful for you!! XOXOXOXOXOXOX



To celebrate our anniversary this year, we had dinner at our favorite Steak House. The filets melt in your mouth!


And then our friend, Dave Faragher took us to the Danny Gans show in Vegas. Front row seats! The show was so much fun! We had a great time!!

Here we go for 36 more, and then some!!

Cutest little dancing diva I know..........

Here are the pictures from Faith's Birthday party!! Fun Times-
It is clear that either grandma is not a photographer, or Jaxson is getting too tall for the pictures.

Grandma and the birthday girl!

Sonia, and Faith's little "big" brother, Owen

Goldilocks aka Ethney! What a beauty.

We couldn't get the girls to stop cleaning, obviously the favorite gift!

A girl can never have enough clothes,

And jewels,

And even her car has to match her accessories.........

"Sweet" Sarah, and Jaxson dude, giving Faith their gift!

"Ryker, can you show me how to ride?"


Party time!
