Marshall Farley Visit

Penny and the kids came out for a visit over the 24th of July and we had such a good time. She will kill me for showing this picture but we took the kids to the park and it was so freakin' out and she was getting ready to stick her tongue out at me. LOL...pay back!!









CJ loved playing in the dirt










Noah, Adam, Aaron, Penny, Sarah, and CJ at the Main Street Plaza. We had a good time walking around the Church Office grounds, Main Street Plaza and Temple Square

Sarah soaking her poor feet. I have no idea what Penny is laughing at, but it must have been funny.
I love having them come out for a visit. Can't wait for next year and their visit.

Pics

I just have been enjoying going through genealogy and adding more and more information to my family tree. So I thought I would add some pictures to my blog.
This is a picture of my Grandma and Grandpa Sturges. I love this picture.



This is Grandpa Sturges in his bus driver's outfit. He used to drive the city bus, I think in Pocatello.












a Beautiful picture of my Grandma Sturges















My Dad, Uncle Jerry and Uncle Dave when they were just young boys. I think the picture was taken by grandma, cause you can see her shadow in the picture.


Well, hope you all like the pictures as much I do.

outings

In the last few weeks, I haven't done much of anything, but cross stitch and read. Which I am not complaining about, but I am SO glad that I have had minor outings. Even though, they have mostly been to Wal-mart to get dinners or Sam's Club to pick up stuff for our vending machines at Deon's work.
This picture is from Monday when we went down to the pond, by our house, and watched our friends fly kites. It was such a beautiful day and we had such a great time. Of course, I couldn't resist putting my feet into the water, which wasn't that cold. Our friends hand make all their kites, and that is so cool to me. I am going to be a lazy butt and go buy a couple kites at Wal-Mart. Plus next time we go out, I am taking my remote controlled boat.
This weekend will be filled with a few trips out. Saturday we are going fishing at Vernon Reservoir, and picnicking. I am so excited for this, I just hope I catch a fish. It's been forever since I have caught a fish..lol. Sunday is my Great Aunt Lucille's (my dad's mom's sister) Birthday open house and we are going to Springville to spend some time with them. It will be scary to be around a lot of people that I don't know, but when has that ever really bothered me before.
Update on recovery: I am doing really good with little pain. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for a check up and hopefully he will lift some of my restrictions. I am loving spending all this time with my babies, and they are loving having me home. They will be unhappy when I do go back to work.
Am really excited that Penny and the kids are going to try and make it out for the 24th of July. Sarah...keep on her so you can come out. I can't wait to see them. I love and miss my family so much.
More updates later.

Surgery

Well...my surgery went well, and no complications. Now I have the next 7 weeks off to recover and get better. Let's hope it don't take to dang long. It's only been 2 days and I am getting bored, but catching up on the rest is nice. My poor dogs won't leave my side, cause this is only the 2nd time they've been without me for more than a couple hours.

Grandma Evans

Our Beautiful Grandma fell the other day, at home, and broke her neck in two places. It is the same break that actor Christopher Reeves had. They cannot do surgery on her because she will not survice the surgery. They cannot put her in a halo because of her breast cancer, and they cannot put a plate in, because her bones are so brittle, but she cannot mover her head at all or it will stop her breathing.
She is a strong and loving person, who we all love very very much. I hate to see her laying there helpless.
Grandma, we love you so much!!

14 years ago!!

14 years ago today, I married my very best friend in the whole world. It just doesn't seem like it has been that long ago, but as I was told, when you find your one true love, it makes life worth living. And that is so true.
Deon and I do everything together, like, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, house and lawn work, bowling, etc etc. It's so awesome that we have so much in common and it really means the world to me to spend time with him. Even if we are sitting across the table from each other playing on our laptops. LOL!!!
Thank you for being such a wonderful, loving, and caring husband. Here's to 100 more years of marriage. I love you with all my heart!!!

Today

I have been thinking how lucky I am for all my wonderful friends and family. Deon's parents and Grandma came over the other night and we had dinner and got put in for the draw for our deer tags. This year Deon's dad is going to go with us, which will be cool.
All my friends, and neighbors, thanks for all that you do. You guys keep me on my toes, and remind me how much I need you all in my life.
And for my sister, who puts up with me calling whenever I want to chat. Hehe...and that can be often!!
I love you all very much and miss ya
