For Cindy's 60th birthday our Sweet #1 child Angie gave us a nights stay at a Lovely Bed and Breakfast, Milo's Inn in Boulder City. On Thursday about noon we left to go to B.C. Had a very nice drive, we were able to explore some neat shops in B.C.
Here are some pictures we took of the new bridge so you don't have to go over the narrow dam. The second picture is some of the heard of mountain goats we saw near Boulder City. There must have been 40 or 50 of them it was an amazing sight!!! Our room was so beautiful. They must have recently remodeled because the room was very nice with pretty furnishings and a big spa tub. Right out the front door was a coy pond with 2 turtles and 2 cat fish and also a water fall . They had 2 beach cruisers you could go for a ride. They also had a fire pit and a place to BBQ. Angie, you did good finding it on the internet. We had 24 hours of bliss. They have so many cute shops and things to look at. It is like going back in time!!! Thanks so much Angie & Tracy!!!
This is the plaque Lindsay and Mike and Auri and Andrew gave me for Mother's Day. It has a cool quote from Isaiah on it and I really like it!!! Lindsay also sent a talk Brother Eyring gave with the quote in it. Tiff gave me a dragon fly decoration to put on a plant pot and some really cute earrings, I will post those soon.
A few weeks ago I was a volenteer in the kitchen at the Las Vegas Temple. When my shift was over I could barely walk up the stairs. It was so weird and then I found myself with really tight hamstrings and really tight nerves around my tail bone. I suffered with it for a while and after deciding I would need some help with this, I went to the doctor (And oh by the way that night after working at the Temple I came around the corner into the family room and tripped on the rug and fell hard. I was sure my ankle was broken but fortunately I can walk on it so that is the least of my problems!) The next day I still couldn't walk very well or my normal speed. I am in some kind of low-slow gear. Then when I finally went to the Doctor she gave me muscle relaxers and pain med and a medrol pack (steroids) I still didn't fell better and some time during the night the skin at the bottom of my stomach started hurting really bad. So when I got up and looked it was all red and hard and hot. Turns out to be an abcess. It got worse so she had to numb it and lance. It was about the size of my middle finger or a little bigger. I sure feels better since she got all that uck out of me. My tummy feels a ton better and I am walking better but not at all like normal. I am working on it and my Dr. had me also go to a Chiropractor and that helped also. Well I hope I am not too depressing but venting has helped. I am going to post more often. So check in!!! Love To All, Cindy

Happy Labor Day Everyone. Hopefully now the weather will be cooler on a consistant basis!!! I could go for that and I KNOW Larry could go for that (working outside).

It will be nice to have Larry home on Monday and then on Friday will are going to see Angie (it's her birthday on friday). Larry is going to help them refinish their deck. It will be nice and cool up there...I am sure!!! Well, have a great holiday!!!
With all this heat we have been enduring, this snow looks mighty GOOD to me!!! We never have snow like this. These pictures were taken at Angie & Tracy's house in Elkridge! It makes me want to lay down and make snow angels... Sounds fun...HUH???
Larry & I were running errands earlier today. We were in the middle lane when some guy was right next to us. Larry saw someone fly into the air then hit the car right next to us before hitting the ground. We drove over the leaf blower I had to ask what was going on when Larry said "that guy just got hit by a car." So we pulled over & called 911. The guy who got hit lived, he had a broken hip, broken leg & head injuries. We aren't sure if the driver was charged or not but he probably was because the lane he was in was not a lane. After we were done talking with the cop the mustang wouldn't start so we asked the officer if he could give us a jump start he said no it was against rules well after he was done, the cop saw Larry still working on the car & called his sargeant for permission & jump started the mustang. It was scarey I'm glad we were there to help. That poor man that was hit was really in bad shape!!!

It was really fun we left on Thursday May 13 and drove down to Disneyland and went to Downtown Disney that day. On Thursday we went to Disneyland and on Friday we went to California Adventure and Disneyland. We had a wonderful time and it was a real treat. We did get a really cute picture of Larry and I with Goofy. I will try to post it. I have to scan it first. I am not to fancy with the computer as you all know.

TODAY FEBRUARY 2, 2010 IS THE 10TH BIRTHDAY OF MISS MADI TAYLOR!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADI AND MANY MORE!!!
Well, it is time to confess my mishap with the rolls at Thanksgiving! I wish I had taken a picture! Well, being that I am lazy I bought Rhodes bake and serve rolls. That morning I got the rolls out of the freezer and told everyone "DON'T TURN ON THE OVEN" my rolls are rising the quick method. The quick method is to turn the oven on 200 degrees and then turn the oven off. Then you place a bowl of water in the bottom of the oven and put the rolls onto a cookie sheet and spray them with cooking spray and then spray the plastic wrap with cooking spray and then put them in the oven for an hour or so and they will thaw and rise. You then take them out and preheat the oven and put them back in to cook (of course removing the plastic wrap first).
Well, everything was going well until I started making Amanda's delicious pretzel salad. First you make a crust out of pretzels, butter and brown sugar and bake it for a short time in the oven and then let it cool and finish with strawberries and jello (or something like that). So I turn on the oven to 350 or so and forget that my rolls are rising. When I thought the oven was pre-heated I opened the oven to put in the pretzel crust to find my 3 pans of rolls. The middle pan of rolls were cooked completely and the other two we well raised and I should have just gone ahead and cooked them then but OH NO I take them out of the oven and take the plastic wrap off and the pan that was cooked were fabulous. In fact we ate them all right then. The other two pans were quite another story! As I took the plastic wrap off they fell. So the rolls we had with Thanksgiving Dinner were flat but the ones we ate fresh out of the over were wonderful and the plastic did not stick to them at all.
NOTE TO SELF: When defrosting and rising rolls in oven PUT A BIG GIANT NOTE TO SELF... DO NOT TURN ON OVEN UNTIL THE ROLLS ARE DONE!!! So that is why I am going to have my brain checked so I can know if I am just DUH or if my brain is turning to mush!!!
