Life is going by so fast...I can't believe that 2012 is almost gone! For the most part it's been an okay year.Dad and Dockie moved, that's been the biggest change in our life here in St.George. We were blessed with another grandchild on September 21 Malcolm Rocco. He is such a cutie...he seems to be a really happy little guy...of course we aren't around him a whole lot,but when we have been,he doesn't hardly ever cry. He's always smiling! He's our 19th grandchild. We got to go to Boise when he was born and then we went back in December for his blessing and Corbin's baptism...good times.
Me and Jeff are still working at the Library, we will probably put in for my Social Security on my 62 b-day, at that time we will quit work and live on our S.S. That is if the goverment is still going by then, or if the world don't end on Dec.21,Ha Ha!
We enjoyed Max and Marks visit in July,they made my birthday so much fun.We also had a brief visit from Britt and Kimi in early June, they were good to come and help their dad,even if things didn't work out like we thought they would...it's all good, and we're through with that...yippy!
We see a lot of Dad and Dockie...they come quite often for visits, we love it when they come.They sold the other side of their property,so they've had to come and empty out the 2 sheds they had there, they got 1 done, 1 more to go! They are finding it difficult to decide what to do with all the stuff they left over there!
In October we took Harley to Dockie's grand daughter, she found him a home...he now lives with James and Wendy,Dockie's grandson. I hear he's loving it there with them ...I'm so glad someone has enough energy to take care of that hyper dog, he's cute but man he never quits, he has so much energy, he wore us out!
Dolly is still as spoiled as ever, we really don't know what we would do without her, she's 8 1/2 years old now, she rules the the whole household. We still have our cats Fluffy and Petal, they are doing good, they look so pretty with their winter coats on!
We didn't get to go camping even once this year! So sad...but we will next summer, we will be done with work so we can get away,I can hardly wait! We want to do something fun for our Anniversary...it will be our 40th one, that's a pretty good milestone,we want to get to do something fun!
We are looking forward to 2013...we hope it will be a good year for every one. that's it for this post..Keep smiling!!

September...Really
Goodness September got here fast. I'm posting just cause it's been forever since the last post.Our life isn't too exciting, we haven't been on any fun camping trips, nobody seems to come here much since Dad and Dockie moved, I guess it's a good thing that me and Jeff have each other,cause we are the only people we see most of the time.
We did get to go out to dinner last Friday night with some great friends from Midvale, Wayne and Jean Perkins.They are always fun to talk to and catch up on all the people we knew in Midvale...although they just moved from there also, they are building a home in West Jordan,things are a changing!
Jeff Putnum, the people who bought Dad and Dockie's house are really changing the way the yard looks. They have decided to put new sprinkling system in, and have taken down all the sheds out back, he took out the pond also. We were asked if we would like the lamp post that Dockie's brother Deloy made that was in the front yard, and we of course said yes. It looks great in our front yard, it was a major pain to get out of the other yard,but, we love it.Also on the inside, they took out the old carpets at the back of the house and put in tile, I haven't seen it yet, i figure I'll wait till Mary is moved in...then maybe she'll invite me over.
We are waiting for a call from our Rochelle that will let us know when we can go to Boise, she is carrying our 19th grandchild...we don't know what gender the baby is yet, they are doing it the old fashioned way, wait and see who comes out. We can hardly wait.
So other than the fact we go to work every Thurs., Fri., and Sat., night,and to church every Sunday, and we do our visiting teaching and home teaching, this is what our life consist's of,we do get to do yard work too! But that's pretty much it, us in a nutshell.
We love the weather is getting a little cooler...and I can hardly wait for decorating for Christmas!! Take care, and Keep Smiling

Summertime is here!!
We try every year to not turn on the A.C. till June 1, well this year it went on April 7, it's been a bit warm...it hasn't hit 100 degrees yet,but it's got close a couple of times!!! Jeff has made our yard look so good this year,he's worked hard on it,he even installed a couple of more sprinklers out front.
We had the Ironman in St.George May 5. It was interesting,they ran part of the marathon in front of our house. We moved our porch swing up close to the road,under our tree and cheered everybody on. We clapped so much that my hands started to swell, so I took off my rings so I could keep clapping. It was really kind of fun. We even moved our sprinkler out to the street so the runners could run through it and cool off,it was so warm...a lot of the runners gave us a thumbs up and others thanked us. It entertained us all day long.
We were able to work for the Thomas's in our ward while they went on a weekend trip, we cleaned the Health Department for them on Thursday and Friday, it gave us a little extra cash. They have arranged for us to be able to fill in for them whenever they go out of town...the next time is in late June. It works out okay with our other part time job at the library, seems how there we work for their son.
On Friday Dad and Dockie are coming to stay with us for a week,we always look forward to their visits. On Tuesday we are all traveling to Richfield area (Joseph,actually) to put flowers on mothers grave, and come back that same day. While they are here in St.George they are going to show us where G&G Eyre's graves are so we can decorate them. Dockie has some medical tests to be done while she's here, I think they are planning to go back to Alamo on Friday afternoon. They had to come this Friday because Saturday they have a funeral to go to.
We will be traveling up north on July 10 so we can be there on the 11 for our little Ivy's heart surgery. We will be staying with Shane and Anngee, we figure while we are there we can see where Kimi will have moved to seems how she's leaving St. George on May 26. I think she is super excited to be near her sisters again...plus they will be on their own again and I know that will make them really happy.
I guess on the 20th of May we are going to try and see an eclipse...we didn't even know it was happening till Chelle texted us, so we'll try and see how it looks.
I had an awesome Mothers day...everyone was so good to me, thank you to my family for being so good to me. It was a lovely day!
That's it for now...Keep Smiling!

"Back" to normal again
Goodness February went by fast! We were able to start that month off with going to Brit's for a baby blessing.Monty looked sooo pretty,and we enjoyed the luncheon at Suzan's afterword. Anngee and Shane put us up for a couple of nights while we were there. They fed us some awesome pulled pork,so good! When it was time to come home,I felt like my back was going out....it did! Stupid back, I was down for a week. Finally when i got it feeling better...we were able to change the furniture around in our guest bedroom. We got a dresser and nightstand from dad and dockie,so we needed to reconfigure that room so everything would fit. It turned out pretty good!
