Happy Birthday Old Man

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday. We all got together at Cafe Sabor in Logan for dinner. It was great to get together and visit and enjoy birthday time. My dad insists that he is 49 still. Last night Greg told him he had to change his age now because he finally caught up to him. We had a fun time and enjoyed watching Adrik and Gavin look at the water. They really wanted to go swimming in the little ditch:)

Things are changing

Have you ever had a day when you wake up and EVERYTHING changes? Well today that happened to me. Even the little things that seemed like nothing big last week suddenly feel like the biggest changes in the world. Wondering what will be next? How will life change? Can we make it through the changes? One thing is for sure. Life seems to be in a constant state of change. That is one thing that does or doesn't change. Either way you look at it...we will make it through. There just may be large bumps in the road and days we don't want to go on any longer.

My TWO Dad's

Happy Fathers Day

Get your ROOTBEER here

We got together for family rootbeer making. It was a ton of fun. While we were picking up some of the rootbeer supplies, I mean the pot luck supplies, we found Sobe drinks on a great sale. We bought a bunch of flavors and brought them home to do a taste test. It was so much fun to taste all of the differend flavors. Then we had dinner sloppy joes and chips, cupcakes & Doughnuts are always a hit. After dinner the "draft" started. We put together a batch of rootbeer and bottled it as fast as fast
could be. Now we just have to sit back and wait for a week and then "bottoms Up"

We need a little project

While Gene was laid up after surgery on his nose, I was ready to work on a project.

Bella thought she would help me with a project.

We soaked raw hide for a while. Bella had a hard time not eating the project.

I traced the pattern and started cutting. It was really hard for Gene to not be right in the middle of this helping out so,

I gave him the camera and he took all of the photos of project night.

The more we get together...

The happier we'll be. The Garcia's got together this May to celebrate Mom's 24th birthday. We went out for dinner and then headed up to Tim's house for music & memories. It was a great time and the best part was....THE WHOLE FAMILY TOUCHED INSTRUMENTS.

Top of the list

We spent the last of May doing just what we love. Camping, spending time together, doing things out side, playing with grand kids, watching rain, singing music, playing guitar, visiting with friends & family...You name it we probably did it. Despite the sadness (our friend passed away) the frustration and the snow we had a great time and saw a lot of our old friends. We also had family dinners each night and camped right beside our friends. It's official, SUMMER IS HERE!!!!
