Wonderful Family Times

It's been awhile since my last blog, retirement is busyier than I imagined, the grandchildren are into Sports now, and Mackenzie is into Dance, She danced with a dance company for many years, and now is on the Dance Team for Mt.Spokane Highschool...It's very fun to see her perform, she really talented, sweet,adorable, and we love her so much..The boys are into all sports, Matthew really loves football, and has played Soccer for many years, and now this year 2011 he is playing basketball and really learning alot.

We love to watch him play ! It's a blast !!! Mason into Soccer and he really loves that, but he says he wants to

play football like his older brother Matthew...So I'm pretty sure he will...



Since my last blog so much has happened , Mackenzie is in High School, Matthew is in Junior High , and Mason will go into 1st grade this next year...Keeps Shelly their mother very busy to say the least.



We spend a lot of time at the cabin at priest lake it's still one of our favorite places in the world. Scott and

Shelly bought a 5th wheel and have been going traveling to the ocean, getting crab, clams, etc. Just like we

did with Scott when he was a little boy. This year for Spring break him and his family are going to Hawii for a vacation. And we will watch their doggie's while they are gone, But will still be going to the cabin every weekend they can...Ken and I because we are retired go almost every week which is really great, we have the boat, the 4 wheeler and the doggie's and it's a good time for all.



My Dad Mel celebrated his 80th Birthday last year, and the whole family came, even realatives from Utah and Canada ! It was a wonderful time for all..Got lots of pictures of family !



One of the most wonderful things that happened this year 2011 is that I became a U.S.Citizen which is something I've wanted to do for a very long time. It was a long process, interview, tests, swearing in ceramony etc. But it's done I am a citizen of the United States!



I also got my passport Ken and I would like to do some traveling, We have Paris in mind but we will see , the world is such a different place right now concerning traveling but we will make the trip someday ! Dreams do come true you know !
