IT'S UNCANNY!

I have had this insatiable urge to can everything I can get my hands on! The only problem was that I canned so much that my shelves were beginning to bow and crack. I was afraid it was all going to come crashing down. So Ron took out all the shelves and bought heavy duty metal shelves like at our warehouse. He says they are a little "over-kill", but that's ok. Now I can continue to can to my hearts content.

We enjoyed a FUN FAMILY HOME Evening Activity.


We had a FUN time with Alan's family last night. We drove our ATV's up to Frye Mesa where we fished for trout. We caught some good sized fish, then when it got dark we built a fire and enjoyed foil dinners and a gooey rich dessert--yum! Tonight we grilled the fish and had a neighborhood dinner. Fish--delish!

Chase is ONE!


Garrett's 26th birthday


A visit from the Easter Bunny


EASTER WEEK-END FAMILY FUN!

We had a visit from the cutest Easter bunny! We also celebrated 2 birthdays--Chase and Garrett's. We had lots of fun together! Darren, Ashley, Mason, Chase and Grandma entered a fishing contest at the fairgrounds. Guess what? Mason caught the first fish of the derby! Yipee! We ate lunch at Casa Manana with Ashley's family....yum-oh! Following lunch, we had a party for Chase's 1st birthday. They came down from Cottonwood and the Norton's came from Duncan and all met here in Thatcher so we could have a party. Then the guys (Darren, Alan, Garrett, and Ron) braved the wind and rain and rode the Rhino and Artic Cat up to Frye Mesa to fish. They caught about 20 trout and had fun! When they got home, the girls had a nice steak dinner awaiting them to celebrate Garrett's 26th birthday! We ate 'til we were about to explode but loved every bite and loved the fun and laughs we had together.
