So Much Fun
What a fun week I had in Winnemucca!
I had a great time with Garrett. He and I got to play with his marble towers for at least 6 hours. You all ought to get a chance to do that, makes you really love quiet when you are done! Of course we also played with Thomas. With Garrett everything is as close to real life as he can get it. If you don't know the correct verbage when you are talking trains he will educate you really fast! Garrett (kindergarten) held hands with a girl (2nd grader)as he walked her into school on Thursday morning. She asked him if he would date her and he said yes!!
Zack worked most of the time I was at their house but I got to see him for a while. He is starting some online college classes. That will be a great $ savings for him plus he will have a jump start on things before he ever graduates from High School. Way to go Zack.
Chris and Laura fed me well. I always love to sit and visit with them. I enjoyed the time I got to spend at their house. They introduced me to these grilling bags that are wonderful.
Well, the main reason for me going and leaving everyone else at home was of course to hold baby Layla. What a doll and sweetheart she is. She has dark hair, that is a surprise. Her fingers look long and thin right now. And I can't believe how tiny she is. Of course that is just because I forget how tiny babies really are. Also, my own were never that small! She is such a good baby. It also amazed me at how much she changed each day.
Macy was so much fun to play with. Her imagination and her make believe play will always crack me up. She is so animated at everything. We played princess every day. Of course we each had a Barbie doll or something similar. The princess time I loved the most was when we were 2 princess sisters. Macy's princess was going to a wedding. I ask her who was getting married and she said she was. We had to pretend to shop for a wedding dress etc. then she went to the castel to the wedding. She walked her doll about 8" and then turned and came back. I ask her why she left the wedding. She said she got there and "my prince charming was dancing with another girl". I ask her what she was going to do. She said, "I guess I'll just have to marry him next week!" On the last afternoon that I was there I even had to dance like a fairy with her. Roxanna ask if I wanted her to video it. It was a good thing she was feeding Layla and was not able too.
Roxanna seems to be doing very well. She is tired from interrupted sleep but we all know that just goes with the situation. She is a good Mom. Justin does great to keep up with everything, not sure how he does it on the little bit of sleep he gets.
My travel time was great! I listened to talk tapes all the way down and back. I had picked up some tapes quite a few years ago at Deseret Book. I thought it was a great deal, they were only $1. I had never opened them so I got them out to take with me. I now know why they were only $1. Two of the cassettes were by S Dilworth Young but when I played them one was Matthew Cowley and the other one I have no idea who it was. Both of them had great stories on them but when each story got close to the end they switched to another person and a new story! Well, 3/4 of each story was really good and I could figure out the ending in all but one. A couple of them got these very loud thumping noises occasionally. Oh well, I was entertained.
I loved the week - looking forward to the next time I get to do that!

Proud and Excited
I just have to say we are proud and excited to have baby Layla join our family. And this Grandma will be glad to make the trip down this week end so I can do a little spoiling!
We've had plenty of fog and plenty of cold during the past week. It was good to get up today to clear skies and sunshine. It was actually about 30 degrees today. Not bad if you were inside looking out the window!

Back Home
I'm back! Atlanta was shirt sleeve weather when I left, much to warm for me. It felt good to get into the cold truck that had been sitting at the airport for the week.
Wish the market would have had some really cool, great exciting thing I could tell you about but it just wasn't there. The Christmas vendors were boring with their repeat of so much of last year. Yes, there were a few new things but nothing to write about. We spent hours looking for something new and different, what a waste of time. It is hard to spend $50000 when you can't find anything exciting. The gift floors were also kind of Ho Hum. Waiting for the MARTA train to go to the airport confirmed how I saw it. The buzz from those who had been to market echoed my thoughts. But I did get what I went for, was unable to spend all of the money but will work on that during the next few months with a few vendors I can trust over the phone.
On Saturday morning we spent 3 hours walking through the temporary floors. Those are vendors who have not yet been able to rent a showroom so they come for 3 days of market and set up temporary booths on a floor where they can just set up tables. They have cash and carry jewelry there. About 100 different vendors at the least. After a while it gets very boring but it was fun to walk the jewelry for a while and pick up a couple of things for myself. I also like to walk the candy temps and taste their samples! When you are on those floors you can look up and see the apparel floors. I won't even go up there. Too many hundreds of shops, to overwhelming for me after spending the week shopping for Christmas and some spring decor.
But I am glad, (don't swear Roxanna) that Layla Bree didn't decide to come while I was gone! However, it will be okay if she wants to come any day now.

Travelin' Again
I'm heading to Atlanta tomorrow. Shop, shop, shop! If you are ever curious as to where I am going, look up America's Mart on line. That is where I will be. The bad news is - it is all for the store. The good news is - my checking account will look great when I get back and I won't have all this stuff to put away or wonder why I bought it! Just in case your wonder'n - I am buying for Christmas '09 and also some "fun" gardening decor for spring.
Roxanna, don't do any curb walking while I am gone! If you wonder what that is check with Roxanna.
It was -6 here this morning.

Happy 4th of july Everyone!
We love and miss you so much!
I was just thinking how much I love the 4th of July!The 4th of July is one of my most favorite Holidays to spend with my family! I have lots of memories of this great Holiday! I sure miss living close to family to be able to share this Great Holiday with them!
Going to the Fireworks at the Greenbelt in Idaho Falls! It doesnt matter where we would sit every year they were great! I do remeber the year that we sat on the lawn at one of the INEL buildings and the sprinkles came on! It was quiet funny watching everyone jump off their blankets, hurry and grab all of their stuff and run off the lawn
Going to Alpine, Wyoming to buy fireworks
Playing with smoke bombs, glow worms and snap pops during the day of the 4th of july! It always seemed like that day lasted forever until we would be able to go to the fireworks!
Lighting off fireworks with my brothers up at the canal and watching them explode and spin in the water!
Getting a kick out of watching My dad, My brothers and Tony lite firworks in the back yard, They would lite bottle rockets and stick them in and old glass coke bottle, wich gave them more force to go higher in the sky!
Iam sure there are alot more that I cannot think of right now! Thank you to my Great family for helping create these wonderful memories for me!
I LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YA!
lOVE, Roxanna
lOVE, Roxanna
Can ya tell Iam REALLY homesick right now???

Just a few pics
Just Wanted to add another scrapbook page
Porter hates his Paci now but has replaced it with his fingers. Any two will do (or three or four). Sometimes
he even tries a couple of fingers from each hand at the same time.
Such a happy boy! We took this picture this morning right after nap time..
A little story . . . . .
The other day I and Porter were watching cousin Carson while my sister went to town with my mom. The two boys were playing happily together on the floor, so I grabbed the camera to get a couple of pictures aren't they so cute!!! Then all of the sudden Porter burst out crying. I put down the camera and picked him up, and he stopped crying. A little while later I was looking at the pictures I took and think I figured out the cause of all the tears

"Ouch Cuz! Those teeth are sharp!" Poor little toes!!Speaking of teeth Porter got his first one yesterday so watch out Carson!
