Catch-up pictures!!!

I have mentioned in my past posts that I would post some pictures that I wasn't able to, because I am missing my USB cable. Anyway, I made a disc and am able to upload. Here they are:We went camping at Silver Jack reservoir. I hadn't been camping since I was about 3 months old, which I definitely don't remember. So I was VERRRRY happy to finally get to see what it was like. And I LOVED it!!! I can't wait to go again.

We had a shapshot of our family taken. It will be on our Christmas cards this year. It isn't professional, but I thought it turned out really good!!!This is one of my very closest friends, Beth. She is great!!!We ran into some ugly weather on the way home from Colorado. This is about 1 hour from Denver. Yes, it is snowing in August, how crazy is that?!?!
And last but not least, here are my children on their first day of school. Aren't they CUTE!!!

Finding long lost items makes me SOOO happy!

Yay! I am a very happy person right now. When we moved from Grand Junction to here, it was a SUPER fast move and a lot of things were just put here and there. Well, I had lost a certain family picture (the picture above) that I have wanted to put up but didn't know where to find it. Well, I found it today. It was inside an envelope inside of a photo album. I had searched high and low for this picture. So I am very happy.
I have almost gotten everything back to normal. I've been working a lot, inside and out of the house. Weeds had overrun our yard, and they are finally gone. I'm pretty happy to have the inside back to normal as well. It just takes constant work to keep it looking good, and when you're gone for over a month, it REALLY takes a lot of work to get back to normal. I can't even start to describe how HAPPY I am to be home. The kids have been in school since the 20th. I took some pictures of their first day, but I can't find my cable that connects my camera to my computer, so I can't upload them yet. Hopefully I can get that done soon.
Now that I am getting the house back to normal, I also want to start back into scrapbooking and working on a couple quilts that I have halfway done, LOL.
It seems like the blogging world is very slow right now. So I guess it's not just me that's been super busy ;) Hope everyone is doing good!

My niece's wedding

Hello again :) I'm taking a small break, and just couldn't resist posting about my niece's wedding. I have a few pictures from my sister, and when I get more time I will upload some of my own pictures from her wedding. It really was a beautiful wedding. Taylor was a candle lighter and Blake was the ring bearer. I thought they were adorable ;) When it was time for the kiss, Trevor did something I have never seen before, he dipped her and then kissed her, I thought that was so romantic, and cute! They are definitely crazy about each other, and I gained a WONDERFUL nephew!!! Left to right: My sister, Sue; Me; My Mom, Nora; and my sister, Peggy

My sister, Sue and her family

I'm HOME!!!

YAY! I'm finally home. However, I still won't be on here a lot this week because I am going to be SOOO busy! I have a 1 1/2 month "bachelor" house to clean up after. This evening I have been mowing my back yard (I'm taking a break RIGHT NOW) and cleaning the swimming pool. Plus, our kids start school on Wednesday. So I'm also preparing for that. I will post pictures from my niece's wedding very soon. I will also comment everyone, but it may take a little while for me to get back into the swing of things. I was VERY homesick, and am VERY glad to be home!!!!!! We'll talk to everyone soon :D

My Dad's 70th birthday

Today would have been my Dad's 70th birthday. I find it hard to believe. Here I am, in my 20's and if my dad would have made it, he would have been 70. He and my mom were definitely old enough to be my grandparents. But, they got married at 23 and 26. Then had a couple daughters, and life was great for them, and SURPRISE, over a decade later here comes another one on the way ;) Dad was 43, Mom was 40, Sue was 14 and Peggy was almost 11. HEHE, but I'm glad that I did have a chance to be alive. It is still hard to not be able to call him and tell him Happy Birthday in person, but that's just life I guess.

I also wanted to let everyone know that we have lost another WONDERFUL person. Brother Bob C. (elder from Montrose) passed away this morning. I believe he had bone (?) cancer. I did have the honor of going to see him about 3 weeks ago. He was a GREAT example to me. He will be missed GREATLY. Him and my dad were great friends, I thought it was a little ironic that he passed on my dad's birthday. But please remember to pray for his family. :(

I also wanted to apologize for not being the blogger that I normally am. My mom's computer is SO SLOW and I have TRIED to leave comments on some of my friends' blogs and the computer takes so long, and half (or more) of the times I try, it gives me an error notice. Neena: I've tried like 10 times to leave you a comment, and it just won't let me. Anyway, I hope everyone can forgive me, I will be home in about 2 1/2 weeks or maybe 3 weeks and I'll be back to my normal blogging self :D

P.S. - I'M HOMESICK and REALLY MISS MY HUSBAND!!!
