Whoot Whoot! Look What Spring Has Sprung

Me and My Shepherd

I have a very special new recrute to the pageant this year.

This week is our 24th Wedding Anniversary.

This is an extra special year in so many ways.

This is my good friend Doreen who I met at pageant last year with our Fabulous Director Jenee Prince.

This year keeps on getting better and better! I am so blessed!

Catching up a little

Steve and I drove to Utah for Carina Maughan's Wedding and this is the picture of all Steve's brothers and sister's except for one who lives in Georgia and could not make it.

It is great to see everyone for a little bit.

WE went on an adventure to see the old Maughan cabin.

Steve has many fond memories here.

More than a woman...

Do you remember the song More than a Woman by the Bee Gees

Well this is the song I think my Steve is singing for me...lol

I Love Pictures

They say so much.

The fine print usually has something to say as well...

Did you know that the first dental implant was done in 1965?

I was definatly born at the right time.

I am feeling like the Bionic Woman...OK maybe not yet, but as my daughter wrote me I will have a whole new mouth when she gets home from her mission.

I now have 4 titanium implants in the process of healing and preparing for the abutments and crown to be placed. I am looking forward to these lasting a lifetime!!!

My life is blessed with technology on so many levels.

Sweet Little Momma Time

We have been very blessed to get to spend time with Nana this summer.

She is a cutie and we loved having her here.

We spent time brushing up on our cooking skills and attending some classes.

We followed up by baking bread

 and almost smoked ourselves out of the house while making pita bread for the first time.

 The pitas turned out very tasty dispite all the smoke and we ate them with yummy chicken salad inside one day and scrambled eggs the next.

What was the smoke all about you may ask???

 I had put oil on the pizza stone after the last time I used  it...

NEVER DO THAT!!!

I then learned that if you did do that there is still hope...

 When it cooled down I used some sand paper and ground off the layer of oil.

I am happy to say it works much better now.

We also went shopping about once a week and found some classy dresses.

We watched all the seasons of Heartland we could get and laughed.

We played games often.

We went swimming in the pool to keep ourselves cool.

And Mom worked on getting some vitamin D.

She is beautiful inside and out!

We enjoyed her company so much!

Thanks Mom for a fun visit!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
