The Caboose gets glasses

I took The caboose to the eye doctor because he was complaining that he couldn't read the hymn numbers at the front of the church. The eye doctor examined him and said that One eye is far-sighted and one eye is near sighted. Soooooo, the caboose gets glasses. He was so excited and wanted glasses so bad (didn't everyone at 10?) I give it 6 months and he will be forgetting to wear them all the time!!

A Special Experience At the Movies


Saturday The Caboose and I went to Cedar to visit my mom and dad and Bony Chick. We decided to go see "Race to Witch Mountain".
We got there just in time so I sent Mom and Bony Chick in to get us seats while The Caboose and I got Drinks and popcorn.
When Caboose and I gave our tickets to the ticket girl, she told us we would have to go in the other door because someone had fallen.
We went in the door and the theatre was packed and on the other side was a group of people standing around someone.
We could see a police officer and some other people try to carry the woman on the steps down, they moved her to the floor and started CPR on her, it was scary and everyone was a little upset, but sitting in our seats not knowing what to do. Then a man stood up and came to the front of the theatre and said "There is a woman over here who is having a hard time, I would like to know if you would join me in a prayer for her" He then proceeded to pray and it got very quiet. You could really feel the spirit there. It brought tears to my eyes. They worked on the woman for 1/2 hour and then the EMTS finally took her out. We don't know what happened to this woman, I hope she is o.k., but it's so great to know that there are people out there who are so in touch with Heavenly Father that they would be willing to stand up in front of a theatre full of people and offer a prayer on a strangers behalf.
Thank-you man at the theatre, you are awesome!!

Oh Molly!

Remember the squishy smooshy bundle that John Wayne conspired to bring into our family? Well she is now 7 months old!! And an amazing dog. She is so cuddly and loves to be with us. She also loves, loves to play. And of course every girl needs a pink sweater.

Molly has completely become one of the family, we love her. Molly also loves to sleep and when she sleeps she snores like no other, it is hilarious.
And talk about a boys best friend! Molly and the Caboose are inseparable. It is so funny, they play hide and seek together. The caboose will hide and Molly will look all over for him. She wont give up until she finds him. And then they do it all over again and again.

It's going to be so much fun to watch these two grow up together!
Oh Molly !!! We love you!!

Ellie Mae turns 25

For Ellie Mae's 25th birthday we decided to go visit her in St George. We got up the first morning and John Wayne helped Ellie Mae's husband prune a tree in their backyard, while I went to Ellie Mae's Core class. There is nothing worse than taking a class at a Health Spa with a 70 + year old man who is in a million times better shape then you are. Ellie Mae tried to make me feel better by telling me he's a marathon runner, yeah but he's still got me by 30 years! Yeesh!
We went to a Brazilian grill restaurant for lunch. It was really good and different. You sit at your table and waiters bring by grilled meat of different varieties and cut off pieces for you. We
especially loved the grilled pineapple.....yumalicious!! We are going to try it at home this weekend.
Then Ellie Mae decided she wanted to go to the pond and feed the ducks. (Of course) :) So we went to the Day Old Bread store and bought a couple of loaves and headed to the Pond. There are a lot of Ducks, Geese, Swans and Mud hens at this pond.










This funny guy had something wrong with his wings, but he would come right up and eat out of your hand.



Here Ducky, Ducky, come get some good bread




























Goodbye goose we'll come back another day!!!!
Then we went back to their house to have a Barbecue and hang out.




















































After dinner we play a game of Settlers of Catan....Way fun!!









































It was great Fun!! Thanks Ellie Mae for having a birthday!! We LOVE you!! I can't believe my baby is 25 :(
