Up-date

I took a cookie decorating class on Saturday and really enjoyed it. I don't know if you can see the detail but I am really proud of little masterpieces.

Snow is here...... where are the GRANDKIDS???

The tree is up. Hannah helped and that was so great. Larry helped also.

New baby Harward

Ruby? Kathryn? Olivia? Who knows, but SHE IS HERE!!!

With her first 'lovey' AND less than two hours old, she sucked her thumb!
PS Her name is ELLA KATHRYN HARWARD

2 weeks

I have been home for 2 whole weeks from Utah and now I am off to Lafayette to see my newest Granddaughter that will be born on Friday. I just can't seem to stay home for very long (not true, I would love to stay home but I get to missing my kids so much that I have to go see them).

In the past two weeks, we had a General Authority from our church stay at our house so I had to clean like mad for a few days. I did another Dinner Theater at church. We only had about 300 people this year. This week, I am catching up and trying to get a Thanksgiving dinner grocery list done for next week. We seem to be getting to bed early with the time change. Why does changing the time, make you sleepy earlier?

5K

Yes, I walked a 5K around BYU campus with James. It wasn't the most exciting thing I did while I was out there but it was nice to see James a little embarassed. Most of the parents and families took this very seriously. They were in their running clothes and doing warm up stretches. The gun went off and so did they. Crazy people. We crossed the finish line in 53 minutes. James, who has been running a lot lately, though it silly to cross the line walking. Oh well, it was worth it, free bagels, fruit and water.

PS Yesterday was my mom 72 birthday. I still miss her. I want to live a life that allows me to see her again.

BYU 2010

Hard to believe I am in Utah visiting this little baby boy.

Where has the time gone?

From this life of fun and games.....

To this life of fun and games? I sure have enjoyed visiting him even though I cannot keep up with his lifestyle. Late night concert on Friday night, dinner for 13 on Saturday night, dinner for roommates on Sunday. Tomorrow, he works and I can rest.

This would have made my mom so very proud. My brother is the principal, Bob Johnson.

Our front yard

I forgot to blog about the deer I saw in the front yard one morning. It was about 8:00 and there were three deer in our yard. They were enjoying a snack but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what they were eating.

We haven't had any rain to speak of since the beginning of August so we only have dead grass. I thought maybe they were eating the acorns that have fallen off of the trees but I don't know.

This picture is a little clearer but you can also see how terribly dead our grass is. I really wish the grandkids were here so they could see these cute deer but I am sure the deer would have heard the noise a mile away and stayed clear of this house.
