Grandpa's 80th birthday party

Last weekend Alisha and I traveled up to Tooele to celebrate Grandpa Elliott's 8oth birthday with our family. It was really fun to see our aunts and cousins that were able to attend. It was really funny when Grandpa first came in because he was being onery and kept saying it was too early for dinner. We were all seated waiting for them to arrive and ready to suprise him but he wanted to sit in a certain spot(not where we were sitting). Mom told him that it would be better over there...(why would it be better over there...these seats are more comfortable) ...finally they were able to persuade him to walk over where we were all seated. Grandpa was so excited to have everyone there and kept grinning like a little kid. Happy Birthday Grandpa! We love you!!!

President's Day was a beautiful day here in Cedar City. I have had spring fever the last few weeks so I convinced Jim and the kids that we needed to get out and go hiking. We drove down to Red Cliffs and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in the sun.

A New Year....

Zack started the New Year out with a bang...literally. We were helping Jim's brother move into his new house when Zack ran into the truck tailgate. 11 stitches and 2 hours later he was proud to show off his newly acquired black eye and tell everyone that he got to be first at everything because he was special today. What a kid!
