This last Friday was my 50th Birthday!

Since we went to Geronimo for my cousins

funeral, my kids move the party we were going

to have to my parents house. It was very nice

under the circumstances. Thank you Jodi for

all you do for me. You are a wonderful daughter.

Here's my cake Jodi got for me.

Me blowing out the candles.... (no we didn't put
50 candles on the cake) :)

Some of the kids blowing their noise makers
for me.

Grandma Gayle and Madox.... he liked my

blue bow. He kept it on his head for

about 20 minutes till the other Grandma

(Grandma Jayne) said he looked like a girl....

then Josh took it off. :)

Me....and my cake

The cards my daughter made for me. She is so
talented.

This is just to honor my cousin and friend,
Vearl Holyoak. He had a heart attack this
morning and passed away. Here he is with
his family. He was like my big brother. I grew
up with him all my life. He was only 3 years
older than me. I will miss him so much. It is
not going to be the same going home and not
seeing him.
You will be greatly missed Vearl. I love you,
Rest in Peace!!!

Last night I went with some friends to the
LIFEHOUSE and DAUGHTRY concert in
Glendale. It was AWESOME!!!!!

Here are pictures of Lifehouse performing
on stage. It was cool how the lighting kept
changing to different colors.

Here is Rick Woolstenhulme at the drums.

He is my friend Annie's son.

After Lifehouse played, then DAUGHTRY played.

They were really awesome.

The guys in the very bottom of this picture is

the guys from Lifehouse standing in the sound

booth area watching Daughtry play after they

were done with their performance.

I didn't take very many pictures today, but
here are a few of my family visiting. They came
to spend the day with me and my boys.
Here is my daughter, son inlaw and two of
my sweet little grandsons.

Here are all three of my grandsons. Chandler
wasn't very happy at the moment.

Jason, Jodi and my mom.

My dad, Kevin, Shannon and their kids.

Today Jodi and Jason blessed their new baby
at church. What a precious addition to our
family.

The wind was blowing so our hairdos, especially

mine isn't all that great.... but it was a really

great day!

These are Jason's parents, Scott and Gayla.

Friday and Saturday I spent at PIR at the
NASCAR races with my brother and sister inlaw.
We had a lot of fun watching the races.



Car #39 Ryan Newman won the race.

My brother helps at the helicoper pad during

the weekend of the race. Some of the drivers,

their wives and owners fly in. My brothers

camp trailer was right next to where the

helicopters come in and take off. It was as

fun watching them come in as watching the

race. What a fun weekend.

This past week was very full........My boys and
I went to my parents house for the weekend.
We stopped by to take pictures of the new
Gila Valley Temple!!!

My mom and I went to see my dad as he was
working out in the fields with this BIG tractor.

And check out all these bulldozers!!!

Then on Saturday we all went to walk in a WALK

for my sister inlaw who has cancer. They had

a really great turnout!!! It was really nice
