THE Dirt Drifters

Had a great lunch and meet and greet with the band "The Dirt Drifters"

Debbie and I with "Barrel Boy" at the KNIX lunch and concert. Fun times!

The Dirt Drifters

I won a "blind date" contest on KNIX radio on Wednesday morning on my way to work. It was a intimate concert and lunch catered by Dave's BBQ. It was a suprise, and we were not told who it would be be until they walked in. It was a awesome group called "The Dirt Drifters". They were so good, very personable and fun. I invited Debbie to go with me, and we had a great lunch and concert. What a good way to spend a Wednesday afternoon!

Thanks Jayson, Tristan and Colten for making my Valentines Day special! The flowers, the card, chocolate, and stuffed puppy made my day! You are all awesome! It made my "heart" feel love for sure!

Colten and Zac were picked to play a game, at Joey & Brooke's dinner before their wedding. They had to take kleenex out of the box one by one with one hand. Pretty funny to watch, and they tied. So they were both winners!




Colten and Zac have been friends since they were 6 years old. It is great to be part of the Allen family!

It has been fun to share my bed for a few nights, with the little man Tristan while he and his Dad have been in town!

So fun, Jayson has a girlfriend that has 3 kids that love calling me "Granma", it is such a nice sound and they are so sweet. Thanks Tristan for making Jayson so happy!



Rylan, Trinitie, and Kaylin

We celebrated my Dad's birthday at Organ Stop Pizza! Fun to be together with family!

Logan and Anna made the most delicious CUPCAKES!

Jayson and Tristan came for a visit... So what did Granma and Tristan do, on my day off? We rode bikes, played in the park and Tristan rode a horse. That made for a full and fun day!

Happy Birthday Meghan, your golden day, 19 on the 19th!

It is always fun when Logan is in town!

Happy Birthday dear Colten!

Seems like yesterday you were this cute little boy... then you grew into a great man! I cannot believe you are 24 .... I love you, and thanks for being a great example to me!

Merry Christmas to ME! Well no one spoils your self like your self! I am loving this new camera, and trying to get to learn all about it! My GOAL for the year is to learn to take better photos, and to master Adobe Photoshop 9... Even if it kills me, hehe.



So far I am loving using this new gem for sure!

FINALLY....together for a photograph after 3 years! We hadn't had christmas together since 2006, because of the boys being on missions. Great to be in Colorado together, and even better to take photos!

Christmas morning fun

It was so fun to be in Colorado this year again for Christmas. With the boys and their missions it was the first time we were all together since 2007. I loved every minute, and with 8 grandkids it was awesome!

BROTHERS

So fun taking my neice's Winter Formal photos. What a great group of teens! Thanks Shannon it was fun, and I am still wondering how you grew up so fast.

I always wanted to do one of these photos, with everyone in the air... LOOK I did it. Thanks boys for letting me practice and getting it done!
