Ted @ Work and Wizard of Oz

Tia and Jared brought Porter & Selah up on Saturday. We took them and Keelee and Tiana to the Wizard of Oz play in Jackson, Wyoming. It was lots of fun watching the kids get excited when they killed the wicked witch. They were clapping and singing "Ding Dong the witch is dead." Miss Keelee sang through the whole thing. At one point Selah and Tiana both poked her and told her to "Shhsh!!!" People around us were laughing at Keelee being so cute witht the songs. After the play we came back to our house and Porter played Games on the computer.


Selah, her mom and I put this puzzle of Aladdin together. I thought Porter would want to do the puzzle, but Selah was the one interested in helping.
You see underneath Alladin is another puzzle that I have finished this year. I'll take a better picture of it later.

Many of you have asked how Elder Kasper is and what is he doing. I decided to share with you his work. Everyone knows he spends a lot of time on the river fishing. Yesterday he said he caught 21 fish. But only 9 of them were keepers. Wrong kind of fish or the wrong size...He spends a lot of time in his work shop mending and repairing things. He's always got a project going.
He has spent a lot of time building also. This table is something he just finished yesterday. I think he does a great job and really liked the table when he finished it.
Before the table he did a headboard for our bed. You can see it in the next picture. He didn't let me see it until it was completed. It looks very nice in our bedroom. I told him, "Now I want head boards for all the beds!!!"
I guess these are the kind of things you can do when you are retired. I think I am liking him being retired and having time to do some fun things for us!!!

Birthday Fun

My goals are being fulfilled. I just finished puzzle #3. This was a great puzzle to do. It was so much fun. Kent and JaNell came for Sunday dinner and we started it....Then I finished it throughout the week.
I also finished Book #3, "Agent Bishop." It was interesting. It was about a man who was in the FBI and served as a bishop 4 times while in the FBI.
My other goals are coming along. I am even exercising better. That's probably my week point right now. It seems to be warming up outside so I hope I will be more inclined to keep up with my goals.

I had so many people remember me on my birthday this year. Thank you everyone. I feel as though I was well taken care of this year! You are all the greatest. My kids were great too. Some of them came to visit the weekend before my birthday. We enjoyed their visit and had fun playing some games. Then on my birthday, Tia and I went cross country skiing. I wish I had taken some pictures. We had so much fun and it was so beautiful.
Friday, after my birthday, Chelsea and the 2 little girls (Keelee and Tiana) took me to Idaho Falls for a girls day out. We had such a good time. Well......mostly a good time. As you see by this picture, Tiana was pretty upset at the mall. We all had pedicures at the mall, then we went into some stores. Tiana was not doing as her mother instructed so she got in trouble for a few minutes.... Isn't that just the sweetest unhappy face you ever saw!!! I had to take a picture and that only made the crying more dramatic!!!






Chelsea was trying to get her settled back down here!! Cute daughter-in-law and cute granddaughter!!



















Oh now she has the happy face. These little rides are in the mall and the girls were trying them all out!



















Besides the pedicure and shopping, the girls also took me to lunch. It really was a nice day. Thanks Chelsea, Keelee and Tiana. Also, Miss Keelee said, "We can do it again for your Birthday next year Grandma!" Isn't that sweet?
