HAPPY 32nd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!

We want to wish our daughter DeAnn and son, Russell Holm, a very happy wedding anniversary.....sorry I thought I had more pictures loaded on my computer, but can't find them. We are thankful for the wonderful man who has made our daughter and our family happy. He is a great man! Together they have had a great marriage, have worked hard at making it this way. They have taught and raised six great kids!.......We are proud of them! What a blessing for their children to all be sealed to their mom and dad. When we are young, sometimes we don't really acknowledge the importance and happiness this can bring, knowing they can be families together forever. DeAnn and Russell have been a great example to our family and have taught and loved their family so much ....teaching righteous principles! They have always been so good to us, as parents! Thank You! oh and I can't forget the great grandparents they are to nine and 1/2.
Wedding Day....30th April, 1977
13 May, 1978
Russell, DeAnn and baby Melissa
Married and sealed for all eternity in the St George Temple...all other children were born under the covenant.

My brothers...Clint, Gary and Neil....Gary (middle) isn't in the party pictures (below) as he has been very ill, but is doing some better now.

At the surprise birthday party for my brother Clint (sitting) in Cedar City. My brother Neil who lives in Santaquin, picked me up in Milford and took me to the party. Was fun! Just wish Gary could have been there! The party was at his son Shaun Kinross's home.
***********
I have really been slacking on my blog...even though I have really enjoyed reading and commenting on everyone's! I was wondering when someone would catch up with me and thanks to my little "Lambfam", they did! And thanks to them for the invite to get busy! I needed that!

Well, I have been pretty busy, even if I'm not just sure just what I've been doing to make me that way!
I have visited with our grandchildren and great-grandchildren which has been really fun!
March 25th was Swede's and Melissa's, husband Brians, Birthday. We had a birthday dinner at DeAnn's for them. It was a spagetti dinner and everyone brought food, so it was really easy. The little ones were a blast!...Jace didn't like blue frosting on his piece of cake and little Neeley ate all his blue frosting and any other color she could get!....she loves that frosting! We all went together and bought a new patio table and chairs for grandpa Swede for his birthday and Brian got a Wii.
It wasn't even my birthday, and here came Jeff with a new flat screen monitor for my computer...everything else was new, but I insisted that my old monitor was just fine until some things wouldn't fit on the screen. Anyway that was really nice of him! I am sure I had driven him crazy with my old one being that he is a computer repairman. Now, I am all fixed up and will be using it alot on Geneology, being that a Stake Geneology Consultant is my new calling. I can't imagine that, because I am totally lost. I can do alot on the computer, but I am on Facebook too, now and it is driving me crazy. I think I am a little late to learn all this stuff!....oh well! they say practice makes perfect and I like a good challenge, even if you can't teach old dogs new tricks!
Kerstin, had a nice Baby Shower last Saturday!...Baby "Taton Jane", should arrive in about a month and we are getting really excited! This is going to be one (spoiled) loved child. She has everything except a diaper bag and enough clothes for 5 babies.
The same day my grandaughter Stephanie had a Mary Kay party that I went to, even though I can't really wear the make-up. It was fun visiting with my grandaughters Stephanie, Sara, Dayna and Kerstin and others.
My brother David came to visit us on two days and had lunch with us...he had to take his rules for the railroad and it was really nice to see him. Ran into my brother Ken and wife Paula, in Cedar one night at Lin's Market....loved it! My daughter Debbie, and I made a fast trip to Cedar for groceries.
I have talked to my Grandaughters Shanda (Laurie's daughter) and Lindsey (Lane's daughter) on the phone, who lives in Fernley,Nevada. Also, my good friend Nona from Winnemucca, who never forgets me and my neighbor who moved to Kentucky, last year. It is always so nice to hear from old friends.
On the sad side of things a friend of mine pasted away from Cancer last week and was laid to rest. We had lots of fun together when younger. She later worked as a conductor on the railroad and lived in Milford. We both lived in Beaver and she tended Laney for me when he was a little boy. My daughter DeAnn, took me to the funeral in Minersville that day.
I have taken a few pictures. I will post some of them each time I blog of family.
Last weekend I watched all the sessions of General Conference....it was really good and I always look so forward to it!...seems like the messages are always so uplifting and give such good instruction.
It is Easter already! Time does fly...was just telling my hubby that it isn't like when we had all the little ones!...it was so much fun back then. He will work the Airport all weekend and I will go to church on Sunday! I do have a new Easter outfit, but don't have a picture of it! The Easter Bunny bought it a little early! Probably won't even color eggs unless Kerstin comes by.... other years she has, but she has a new life this year. We'll see? It is always fun!
Everyone enjoy those little ones!....they are the best, and nothing brings more happiness!
Will try to blog sooner next time!
Until then have a wonderful Easter!....I love you all!
