Getting Older by the Minute! I'll Reverse Soon

Well, after my trip to an orthopedic on the 12th, we discovered that I not only broke my left clavicle, but I broke the top of my left tibia, which makes walking impossible. So for 6 weeks I'm wheelchair bound. I keep telling myself, "It could be worse"! We're getting along okay, but things have slowed drastically around here. My day consists of TV and a few hours at the computer and reading. Not quite my style when it's so beautiful outside. Oh well. This too shall Pass, I HOPE!

If You Didn't Know How Old You Were, How Old Would You Be?

This question has a great meaning for us! As you can see from the pics below....Dave is about 10 and I'm about 100! This is Dave at our ward party participating in the Hula Hoop Contest. The other picture is of me after my ski accident on Wednesday. I fell head over shoulder on a slushy ski slope and fractured my clavicle and twisted up my knee. Earlier that day I did feel about 20 however, but not today! Ask us next week. Our daily age changes with our mood!

Scrapbook Room

I've had a really busy week and I went downstairs to my scrapbook room today to unwind. I hadn't put this vinyl lettering up that I got from Stampin Up, so I decided to do it today. I really like how it turned out.

Happy Birthday Crae!

Happy Birthday Crae. Today is Crae's 29th. He's getting old, but we're not. We celebrated with him and his girlfriend, Lachelle at Asian Star. It was very tasty and we had a good time. Sorry the rest of the family couldn't be there to celebrate:(

Couldn't Resist It!

Well, we just spent the last several days at Lake Powell doing our yearly repairs on the houseboat. The water was so smooth on Monday, that we took a break and went for a wakeboard ride. It's April...what was I thinking!!!!!! The water was so cold, but the wetsuit helped. By the end, my hands and feet were frozen, but I was smilin!

Easter with Sean's Family

This Easter season we took a short trip to see Sean and his family. Four months away from the grandkids is long enough we decided. Since it was April, we ventured to Washington DC one day to witness the blooming cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin. The blooms were at their end, but it was still beautiful and it smelled so wonderful. Here is a pic of Washington Monument surrounded by cherry blossoms.

The Jefferson Memorial was picturesque with over a 1,000 cherry trees surrounding it!


On the way back to the car, Dave put Kyo into this tree stump, and of course Mcrae had to get into the act. So here are the 4 boys posing for pics.

Dave and I in front of a few cherry trees at the festival 2009.


Kyo wasn't sure he wanted this pic. It's amazing how small we look in front of this huge bronze of Thomas Jefferson. This is the inside of the Jefferson Memorial. It is a beautiful monument!

Coral Wonderland

I don't know if you like looking at sea life as much as we do, but we got some pretty good pics in Fiji, so I thought I'd share a few more with you

Anenome Fish in poisonous anenomes
Coral garden, hard and soft corals

We couldn't believe the underwater floral garden we saw in Beqa Lagoon, Viti Levu



More Nemo Fish!!!!! This one's for Kyo!
