More Pix of Georgia fun

We went to the Atlanta Aquarium

A park that was used during the Olympics. It was funny 'cause this guy offered to take our picture then asked if we could give him money, which of course Bryce did. As usual I didn't have any.

Me and the kids, one of these days I will be able to have my picture taken with my eyes open. Darn Lasik, I can't stand the bright lights and it is automatic to close my eyes.

And this cutie pie is the newest baby in Bryce & Amy's family. Garrett. What a good little boy he is.

Our Stay at the Georgian Hotel

This is the Beautiful Georgian Hotel (aka The Carters New Home). We spent a wonderful six nights and five days. As you can see the manager and his staff were very accomodating to our every need. This luxury Hotel boasts an amazing 4 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths with a parlor and executive dining room. There is access to a private lake with boat dock. You will feel right at home in this palatial home when you visit this residence! The owners said in the near future they will be hosting movies in their own personal movie theatre with upgraded playroom and popcorn for everyone. Don't miss out on this property make your reservations today!
























I quit my job when we got back from GA and thought I would take up writing travel logs for magazines. What do you think of my first try?

We had such a great time at the Carters in Georgia! The weather was actually warmer in Idaho, but it was still very mild and nice. It is amazing at the lush greenery all around. This area is very hilly and trees with kudsu everywhere. We also had our teeth cleaned, and Jeff even had three cavities that Bryce filled. Whew, I'm glad it wasn't me. Jeff did say how gentle Bryce was though and it didn't even hurt. Amiee, the hygienist cleaned our teeth and I think I'll be able to do it without laughing gas next time. Thanks Bryce for the great dental care. He even gives crest toothpaste with free toothbrushes! YEAH!!!

A Zoo?

Well, we got the beef today. So I thought I would post a few pix of our little menagerie of animals. At first Iwas thinking it is turning into quite a zoo around here. Then I remembered we live on a farm. It just seems like a zoo around here sometimes, which really has nothing to do with animals.

This is Dan's cat Pepper. She is such a nice kitty. Dan sure likes her!


These are the little chicks that are not so litte anymore.

This is Roast & Steak (Rosie & Steve?).

And of course, our little Brown Dog, BrowNee. We certainly couldn't leave her out.


Half of the chickens will be gone by the time Bryce & Lances families get here, but we sure will enjoy that barbecued chicken on the grill. Mmmm.

This week we will be going to Bryce and Amy's for a few days and enjoying their company, we are so looking forward to seeing them and all the kids and the many changes that have happened over the past year.

We sure are enjoying all of those blogging again.

Update on The Chickens

Well, Jeff gave in and bought this cute little chicken coop. I gave it a name this past week "The Cheyenne Social Club". Have you seen the movie? Well, lets just say this is "The Best Little Hen house"! If you haven't seen the movie it is definitely worth watching. It really has nothing to do with chickens, though.

These are my little chicks, they have grown alot over the past week. Brownee even likes them, at least she doesn't lick her chops like Dans cat did. All is well here. We are just waiting for the real spring to show up and we will plant the garden. I have also been bartering for services. I teach a girl in our ward cooking lessons (enough of that laughing), and she teaches me piano lessons. We had our second class today and it went really well. After awhile she is going to throw in voice lessons (okay now you can get up off the floor from laughing so hard!) It has been really fun to trade services. I encourage you all to try it.

Here chicky, chicky

This is my new little project. The pic is pretty small, but I will be taking new ones soon. These are my new little babies. Chicks! The ones in the upper corner are Rhode Island Reds, layers. And the little yellow ones I picked up today are Cornish Rock, meatbirds. The reds are approximately 10 days old and the yellow ones are maybe 2 days old. Over the next two months it will be interesting to see the difference in growth. Remember my chicks I had two years ago? They were the Cornish Rock. Well, lets just hope we don't get the bird flu, or we'll all be under quarantine and unable to travel! That would be sad.:(
Okay, now I have blogged so those of you who haven't for awhile it is now your turn. We sure love to see those blogs.

Lions & Tigers & Bears

Well, we went to Southern California this past week with my parents. We ate at some really great restaurants and walked on the beach every morning. Can't say the room was so great but at least we know where not to stay. I'll just say there was a bar twenty feet from our front door, it wasn't quiet at night and I didn't feel very safe. We did go to the San Diego Zoo one day and it was great.

We also went to the L.A. Temple the first day after arrival and it really set the tone for our trip. It was bee-you-tee-full. The Temple pix are of the Newport Beach Temple that I thought was a Jewish synagogue at first, but then I saw the Angel Moroni and thought that was weird another religion would use him on there church. At closer inspection, we drove into the parking lot, and spoke with a gentleman who said yes it is an LDS Temple and has been there for about 4 years. If we had known it was there we would have gone into that one, too. Oh well, so much to see and so little time.

Next trip is definitely out to Georgia to see that new little grandson, Garrett.

Love to all of you!

Viva Las Vegas!

We went on our annual January trip and had such a great time. We stayed a week in Vegas at the Wyndham Resort then went to Yuma to visit with Gramma Lois. It is great to get out of this cooooooold. I'm so glad Jeff does this for me so I can maintain my sanity during this time of year. Some of the following pix are from The Venetian & Harrahs. We didn't take any pix of Yuma. Hmmm, darn camera doesn't want to take those pictures itself :(. Wouldn't that be great if that could happen. How many times do we take the camera and never even get it out of its case. Oh Well.

This is Dan with some of his relatives that won big on roulette.

This last picture is of Dan with his new and very short lived pet. After he bought the chameleon he went back to school and found out he couldn't take it with him. So we took it back to the store. He did have fun with it while he was here. During our trip Dan was released on Medical leave from Job Corp for a problem with his shoulder. We haven't seen the Dr. yet so we'll keep you updated on what is going on with that. The good news from Job Corp was that Dan has six months to heal and can go right back when all is well. Hope to hear from all of you on your blogs soon. We definitely need more pictures of those grandkids and want to know what is going on with them! Love to all!!!!
