Our 40th Wedding Anniversary - we took a cruise to the Caribbean from Puerto Rico. This is Jim and I on our cruise ship. Beautiful trip over 6 islands. Weather was very nice compared to Utah (30 degrees in Utah and snowing!) Beverly got sunburned. Jim went snorkeling and swimming with turtles. Every night the cruise ship had shows, huge dinners, and we swear we gained weight. We even tried to use the stairs all the time. Elevator took too long anyway. Jim bought Bev a nice set of pearls and diamond earrings studs. The water was so blue and clear! White sand on beaches. It was so beautiful with all the flowers and greenery. Scenery was lovely! Sunsets in evenings were spectacular.

After the cruise, we are spending Christmas in beautiful south Florida with Jed and Jenny and their family.

Ash gets a helmet

We went to the doctor and Ash got fitted for his helmet. They call it Cranial Remodeling. At any rate, last time we went they laid him in a scanner and made a 3D image of his head. They then informed me he had a very bad flat spot (duh) and he would need a helmet. So corny. Anyway, they sent away for the helmet to be made and we got it today. Ash has to wear it 23 hours a day for about 8 months or so. It gets one hour to dry out and be cleaned. We even get to decorate it. Basically the helmet is tight in certain spots and loose around the flat spot. The brain will grow in the direction of least resistance so it pushes out the flat spot. We'll probably start calling him silly names like "white helmet man" as a spoof from Space Balls.

Fairy Princess Emma

This is Emma's Easter Photo altered to make her into a fairy princess. Just thought I would share it. 

Smokey New Hair Dooo

Check Out Smokey!!
He is sporting a new Hair doo. Tami took him in for a haircut because she like Charlie's hair cut. After the hair cut was over everyone loved her (aka Smokey) and thought she was so cute. Tami thinks its the ears, but hummm. Either way Smokey looks adorable.

Happy Birthday, Grandma Mary!

Last Friday, the Bonneys invited us over to a TEA PARTY (no tea was involved) for sweet little Grandma Mary's birthday. The party was complete with finger sandwiches, deviled eggs, crackers and cheese, cake, and even DRESS-UPS. Grandma had brought a whole bunch of hats and gloves for all the girls to wear. It was really fun. Husbands and kids were invited, I just didn't get any pictures of them... sorry. Thanks to the Bonney Family for hosting a fun evening... I could tell it really meant a lot to Grandma.

My family's Blog

Hey I just wanted to tell the world that I have followed suit and finally got a new blog. I had an old one when I worked at Big Planet and now moved to mcgeenews.blogspot.com  - I was trying to get my family interested but so far it is just my site. If I change the name I will let you know. It will be something like jennysranting or ravingbyjenny. Who knows.

Better Jed's Birthday Video

I redid the video so it was clearer. I am still getting the hang of my editing and compressing software. It takes longer to load since its bigger but you should be able to tell that he is 33 years old and see our faces!
