Life is a blurr

I wish that I could go back and catch up from my last post but I can hardly remember what I did yesterday. There has been so much that has happened. Many wonderful things, the boys have graduated from high school and Jacob received his Eagle Scout award. They are all enrolled at UNLV. They are all employed, which is wonderful considering how bad the economy is right now. Taylor's 16th birthday is today, and she will be able to drive in just a few short weeks. Rachel will take her learners permit test sometime this week, and so we are well on are way to not being taxis any more. Oh, Man...there is so much more. Sara is dating a guy named Austin. She really likes him. We all do. He is a great guy. Chelsey will be back from BYU-I in just a few weeks. She has been dating a guy named John. We can't wait to hear the stories. Life is always exciting and wonderful, and stressful and crazy here. But isn't that what it is all about?

Grandma's 80th Birthday party

This past weekend we celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday.

Gloria Nicholes, Colleen Cannon and Steve Nicholes

Grandma has 66 great grandchildren, this is almost half of them. She does not have any Great- great grandchildren yet.

This is some of the Grandchildren with Grandma, she has 27 Grandchildren.

I am the oldest.

Her with her children.

Judy Powell, Carla Jean Christen, Jay Peterson, Colleen Cannon, Matt Peterson, and Jane Banks. (There are 3 children which are deceased Roy, Diana and Jim)

I really wish that I could list all the grandchildren but I can't.

New Year Resolutions

Well since I haven't blogged since August that will be one of my resolutions...for now the rest, lets just say I am keepin' em on the DL.

The hard part about taking a break from blogging is where to start back up. Heaven knows there is never a dull moment around here. I got a new computer for my birthday and I love it, but I am still figuring things out...so there will not be any pictures on this entry. I know sad huh!

So I will just add a little quote that I came across and call it good for tonight.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
