Christmas and New Years 2009

Mandy and my Granddaughter Grace came to Phoenix for 2 weeks - What a blast! Baby Gracy is going up so fast and is a little handfull! Grandpa Scott fell in love with her and would play with her every chance he got. He took all of his girls to the Phoenix Zoo Lights - New Years morning, Mandy and Gracy drove my Mini Cooper S, while Scott and I rode our sport bikes to Tortilla Flats, AZ along with around 300 other motorcyclist to bring in the new year by having a great breakfast! PANCAKES!

Halloween and Fall in Utah

Well, It's September 28th - the day before I a year younger.. I flew home to Utah to see my Crystal and Shaun - and to finaly see their first home. Logan was cool and the colors were changing. Beautiful - Mom Barlow and I drove up there just after she picked me up from the Salt Lake Airport. We walked around the Logan Farmers market and purchased fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions for a good salad. We went back to Crystal and Shawn's home and Shawn made us all lunch. You would think lunch would consist of Tuna Sandwiches or Peanut Butter and Jelly... NO! Shaun made us Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and green beans! WOW another man that can cook!

After the visit to Logan Utah, we all drove back to Salt Lake and made Sloppy Joes - put our jammies on and went to bed. Knowing Sunday would arrive sooner that we thought, we all got up and got things going for the family party. Mom made Waffels and hot Chocolate, I made Latte's for Rex, mom, and me... I cut Crystal and mom's hair - then all got ready to go for a quick ride up the canyons.. We drove up to Lamb's Canyon where the leaves were in full bloom! I wanted to cry. I miss the mountains, the canyons, my mom's home - my brothers teasing, all my sisters and neices and nephews. We took lots of pictures and thought we would put some up on the page to share.
