May your days be cheery and bright!

Happy Holidays and happy new year.   I will be better at blogging!!  .....2013!

I attended my highschool buddy, Jennifer's daughter Shelley's wedding last week.  It was lovely and so fun to see all of her cute family together.  Shelley and Mason had their dogs as ring bearers - I just loved that.  Millcreek Canyon - lots of memories there, it was fun to make a new one.  

Lucky Me

I got to go to LV and keep an eye on these cute kids for a few days.   These pictues really capture their personalities I think!   We had a great time.   As usual.

Catching UP?

 Volcanoes!   Preston presenting his science project at the Dancing Moose!   He did a great job.

 A funny picture I took over Easter holiday....We had fun with the shiny countertop.

 You had to be there, but my 4 gkids were dancing  and playing  bumper cars with each other, as they put their sleeping bags over their heads.... hilarious.  This went on for quite a while...Hysterical laughter ensued, until hysterical crying ended it.   These kids make me laugh!!!

My B-day Weekend in LV(copying Song)

Sadly I never saw my favorite band when they were touring (who did?) but I got to go see a really fun Tribute Band at PH in LV ! It was a sweet gift from my girl. Song, Jayme and I went and Dennis watched over the flock which included Preston and the 4 Johns! (In keeping with the theme, that sounds like a band doesn't it?) We had a great time - this band sounded just like the Beatles, didn't look like them (bad wigs) much but SOUNDED right! It was brilliant fun.

This is Jayme and I later at this yummy restaurant Song suggested we all go to.

She was right as usual. It was delish!
And me and my girl enjoying our Girls Gone Wild night out... (we really are only wild in our minds!) On my actual day, Jayme and I attended Mike and Amanda's wedding at City Hall,

followed by a lovely dinner hosted by the Thorpes! It was really nice. Amanda is lovely and their new little (not so little 4 kids going on 5) family was very sweet. I'm glad we could be there. I love this picture of them.

It was a very fun weekend!! Weather was great for traveling and the kids had a really good time too.

I am reposting some shots of the kids that Song had on her blog... I'm copying her but they were so cute I had to post them too. Check out Will's "do". He looks like a teenage heartthrob. He is getting so tall and grown up, I see the teenager peeking thru. He always makes me laugh.

We took Ian and Cady to lunch on Sat - just the 2 of them and left the other 3 at the house to play. Ian really enjoyed his dessert... He was impressed with the cooky size! And it was all his, which was a big part of the enjoyment, I think.

This was actually Miss Cady's 2nd piece of pie.... This tiny girl can EAT. (a true Hildebrand) She is a tomgirl. Teeny tiny voice and self but great big personality and opinions.

Viv got glasses! She looks so grown up! She also makes me laugh a lot. Viv flys by the seat of her pants... I just love this picture of her. Had to share (again) -

PAULA DEEN

My rant for the day - I think a person is in charge of what they put in their own mouth. If you don't like Paula Deen's cooking - don't prepare it, but don't blame her when you are over-weight or diabetic. I just don't get why she is getting criticized. Sure she missed an "opportunity" to teach - but isn't that her decision? Sheesh.
