Family time

We had a great time last week with family here to celebrate Mom & Dad's 6oth wedding anniversary. Yep that is right 60 years. (April 8) and Mom's 80th birthday (Sept. 13). On the 25th 20 of us went to West Yellowstone. After a picnic lunch in the city park we went to shop and shop and shop in the quaint little tourist trap shops. I bought more decor items for my basement. Later we went to the Playmill Theater to see "Hello Dolly" The show was good as they always are there. Saturday we met at Airport Park for the main celebration. Lots of fun visiting with those who could make it. We missed those who were unable to come. Thanks to all, Mom and Dad loved seeing you and enjoyed the week.

I know Adele put this on her blog, but I'm using it too. Color coordination was purely coincidental.

Frog jumping contest.

We put a bunch of coins in the straw for the kids to find. Adults were only helping kids that couldn't find any.

Give me a home where the buffalo roam. These painted buffalo are all over West Yellowtone. They are gorgous.

This is the only bear we saw in West Yellowstone. I'm glad he was friendly.

This sunflower was too awesome not to take a picture of. Good concept of surviving adversity.

Yippee Ti Yi Yay

Hope she doesn't grow up to have a fear of clowns.

Brooklyn was a trooper since it was loud and hot.

When I went to SLC to help Rachel when she had her wisdom teeth out Jeremy took me to the Days of 47 Rodeo. I hadn't been to a Rodeo in years. I quite enjoyed it. In the calf roping event there were some local boys, Jared and Clint Arave. I loved the buffalo act. It was great!

Reunion Time

We went to the Ransom reunion in Layton Saturday. It was a lot of fun to be with family.
Debbie, Erin , Tony & Ethan stopped by just as it was ending. If they were a little sooner we would have gotten them in the picture as well. It was really nice to seem them too. We appreciated everybody's efforts to be there when they are all so busy. Our family is in charge of it next year so be planning.

I tried to get Jaden walking, but missed the best ones. Here is a short one so don't blink.

Jaden and Pup

I don't think this tastes like licorice.

Jaden really liked Pup. He is learning how to nicely pet him.

Biggest Loser Take 2

Curves started another biggest loser contest. This time we are on teams of 5 and we got to pick our teams. It will be much easier to work together. Here is a picture of my team right before our 10 mile bike ride. Members are from left to right Alayne Barnard, Lori Jarmin, Denise Hurst, Pat Waters and in case you didn't know I'm the short fat one on the end that needs to lose the most weight. I would think that with this, the smart machines at curves my Wii fit and weight watchers that I would lose more than my brain cells.
