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.

Crystal and Shaun - Got Married! 5-10-2008

So, Now I have officially 2 Son-in-laws: the newest additional to our family is Shaun Eligante! (hope the spelling is correct). Crystal and Shaun were married in the Bountiful Utah Mormon Temple May 10th, 2008. They met at Utah State University at a human auction. Shaun bought her for $15.00! Amazing what you can get for less than $20 bucks!!! LOL

Crystal is now expecting their first baby together, due around her Uncle Rex's B-day Feb 21st. Very exciting stuff!!!! A Mini-IssoBisso running a MUCK! Can't wait!

Vickie's Trip from Phonix to Utah 1/08 to 2/08

Well, its been a fun filled couple of weeks. I had my daughter Mandy, granddaughter Grace, and my little fuzzy duck mom Brenda come here to Phoenix for a week and then we all flew back to Salt Lake for an additional week.

Man! they wore me out! Shopping every day, scap book stores, fabric stores, malls, and lots of food! I did more shopping with my family than I have done in the past year all within 2 weeks! We spent 1 week here in Phoenix and another week in Salt Lake City Utah.

I decided to go back to Utah with them to meet my future son in law Shaun Eligante. He proposed to my daughter Crystal a few weeks ago and decided to get married May 10th. I had to meet this man!!!! And what a great person he is! Not only good looking, sweet, intelligent, he is a great guy!!!! I am very happy that he chose Crystal to be his future bride. While in Salt Lake, Crystal found her wedding dress, we looked at the venue (Hale Theater), and started looking at flowers. WOW! So much in just a few days!
