More out door fun at Allie's and James

Jarom had had a hard night at work and was telling us all about it. We even let him take a short nap. :)
They have great plans for their outdoor fish pond !!!!
Tessa loves her back yard. She thinks swinging on her tummy is cool.
Gracie with her daddy, James. She is really wondering who these strange people are that came to Sunday lunch.
This paining is so cool. It is hanging above the door and you see it as you leave. There is another shot of it alone in another blog.
Gracie showing us her new clogs as she tells us good by.
Marie in her daddy's chair.
Sheila and Bryson.
Bryson loved to go up and down the slide but he wanted to make sure his mom was there to catch him.
It was a great day and I'm glad we got to see family. They are so special. We did miss Rudi though.

Thornbrues Backyard Jump Rope etc

Where is the rest of the jump robe? whose turn is it?
Grandma Jane teaching Tessa to jump. She was timid.
Sisters on the top of the slide.
Wow!!! What a great dinner. Ben was still waiting for his desert.
Melissa and Bryson sliding down the small slippery slide.

Visitin with Sheila and Rudi in Co March 17-25-09

This light fixture came from Allie and James. Rudi has put it out on the back porch. We think it is great and the Thornbrues are glad they have it at their home.
This is where we take our walkes. Abby likes to go with us.
Penny and Raven. Raven is getting ready to go to New Orleans with her club to help some of those people who were caught in Katrina. What a great thing for students to do. We are proud of her and her desire to help out others.
This is a daily ritual with Rudi and Abby. They check out the neighborhood before taking their morning siesta.
This was a welcome sight. Jan and I made it for her when we were in the wood painting mode. :)
Three in a bed. Abby, the pet of all pets. Sheila and Rudi


The squirrel moved too fast for us to get a better picture but it was fun watching him find nuts to eat later.
This is one little johnny jump up trying to make it through the rocks. He thinks Spring is just around the corner.

Sunday Brunch at Allies

Jane picked up me and Sheila and we traveled to the Thornbrue home for Sundayt Brunch. Jarom, Melissa and Bryson came also. It was a fun outing.

This floral arrangement is on the front door. I think it was created by Grandma Jane and Allie.


The flag was painted by James. I think he put the ship together also. They are having fun decorating their home and I love this pond. It will be great when it has fish in it and what ever else they decided to do.

Sights in Laughlin NV and Bull Head City AZ

We took this because we have a friend,Annette Chugg, who has a Pawa and Claws shop in St. George

We thought this bear family was so cute. Until we took the picture of the Mama bear we didn't realize there was a family. It is all out of wood and quite a sight to be seen.

March 17- 25 THE Statues at Sheila's hospital

These statues are in the courtyard This is an old blog that I just realized I hadnd't published. Wanted you to look at anyway.

The detail is very strong and if you click on them you can see the tears.
These are upstairs hanging on the wall. Very comfortable knowing that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is with us when we call His Name.
