Our Boys

Let me recount 38 years ago today. Our son, John, was born. Being our first born, we couldn't have been happier. So cute, big brown eyes, brown hair, cute smile and he won our hearts from the beginning. (Even if it was 27 hours of hard labor, but who's counting?!) Then two years later on the same day our second son was born. He also won our hearts. Big Blue eyes, blond hair and the cutest smile ever. (Even if he was three weeks late and weighed over 9lbs!) We couldn't be more blessed for April 17th to roll around and celebrate the birth of our two boys.

Since then we had two girls. One blue eyed, blond and one brown eyed, brown hair. I guess we only had two cookie cutters in this family. We had expected all of our kids to have red hair since Clyde was a carrot red head. Who knew? How blessed our lives have been.

Just want my boys to know how much they are loved and thought about today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS (I mean, men). You have turned into wonderful young men who love the Lord and your families. Love to you both. Mom and Dad

AND WE LIVE HERE!

All in a week's time. The skiing is great and the fishing is great! And we live here.

I stink at blogging! I know that and you know that. So, bear with me as I post just a couple of pictures of the past. Many things have happened and are happening in our lives but it would be impossible to list them or tell them to you without a "couch" session! And...it would take hours. Just know that all is well. We are trying to keep up with our own lives day to day.

When the cencus had to be filled out I was amazed to state the fact that 10 people live in our home! The Jones family lives downstairs in the apartment and mom lives upstairs with us. We LOVE it to be honest. Life isn't easy, but then who really has it easy? I doubt it was meant to be easy. A respite in the difficulties of life occur every so often and always welcomed.

A warm hug to everyone and know we are still alive and kicking. SMILE!

Another Catch Up.....there are a few :)

It's hard to go back to Christmas but I wanted to post a few pictures from the holiday. It was a very different Christmas for us and very special. Clyde and I had Grandma Belnap and Grandpa Dillon for the Holidays. We had to wait until 11am Christmas morning for the "kids" to get up! But what a special time with our parents. We love and admire them for all they are and all they have done for us throughout our lives. BLESS THEM!!!!!

Here are a couple of pictures from August when we went to Salt Lake and visited with Sister Dalton (General Young Women's President). She came to our girl's camp and shared so many wonderful things with us and then invited us to visit with her in Salt Lake. She is definately a woman to emulate. I actually attended high school with her and admired her then. She loves everyone and it shows. We were so welcomed by her. What a great experience!
