HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER

We sure hope this is going to be a special day for you. If we were there we would help you celebrate and give you a big hug from Mom and Dad Norton. You don't look a day older than you did yesterday, you are just beautiful. Have a wonderful day. We love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDY -

Randy, I can't believe you are 25 today, where have all the years gone.

I wish I had written down everying thing you ever did that was funny, scary, wonderful and all those things that mom's journal, but I didn't and now my memory has failed me because all I can remember is how much I have loved being your mother. I will truly miss you when you move out this week. I hope you know we aren't kicking you out. I would not do that, just politely ask you to leave. No just kidding. We love you and you can come home for a visit anytime you wish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARIE LYNN!!

This picture was taken just a year ago and you don't look any older. Just as cute as ever.

Thank you for letting Aunt Koreen and I come for a short visit. We loved it. I am just sorry you were sick. We loved being there with you and the kids, and thank you Beau for the dinner. I should say two dinners. We love you all. Sharie I hope you know we are very proud of you, and love you so much.

The Proud parents of Avery Michelle Norton. Avery looks just like her mother, but since now I have seen Avery, I think she has her dad's lips.

This picture came from Heather's blog but I just had to have it to share with everyone I know.

Avery is so darling. I just wish I could have spent more time with her hugging and kissing her.

Off to California, Huntington Beach to be exact. We picked up Koreen and took her with us on the rest to the road trip, and I must say she brought us so much fun. She is a blast to travel with.
We stayed at Brian and Heather's our first night there, and then Sharie and Beau's the next night. I didn't have my camera when I was at Brian's so I didn't get a picture of the baby if that isn't stupid. That is why I went to California in the first place to see the baby and then my other grandchildren. Of course it was important that I see Brian, Heather, Sharie and Beau also.

My funny sisters. They are so much fun to be around. I can't wait until June.

After leaving Salt Lake we drove to St George and stayed two nights with Maureen and Gary.

We had a wonderful time with them and Koreen was able to be with us also. I have wonderful sisters.

We went out to Dixie Springs and this is a picture of the view from Sand Hollow Resort.

Lindsay and her little Rease

I got to see three of my sisters while traveling. My first visit was with Jeneal while she was at work. I surprised her and we had a nice visit. I was sorry Ken and Gwenda weren't there at the time. Jeneal is such a darling sister. I was able to attend church with her and then Linda and I went to the Draper Temple Dedication at their Stake Center.

The Ward family plus Rease, Lindsay's little dog, oh, and you don't see their cats nor birds. They have three little finches and they just added a frog to their domain. They have quite the family.

My Road trip with Linda

My first stop was at Lindsay's apartment. We had dinner with Drew, Lindsay's friend (really he is her boyfriend), Randy and his friend Emily Crandall, and Julie and Rob. We went out for Mexican food.

My next stop was at Julie and Rob's, and of course my granddog Cedar, and two grandcats, Ricky who is blind, and Lia. They all treated me so good. Cedar even sat on my lap.

Beautiful picture of Christy and Ryan, stollen again.

Latest picture of Sandy and Randy: I have learned how to take pictures from other blogs and add to my own. I love it.

Our little Avery

A great daughter

This was taken two year's ago while visiting the McCraney's. I sure wish I still looked that young.

Jozie this is what our snow looked like at the first of December. This snow fall broke all records, and we still have mounds of snow that hasn't melted yet. I'm hoping it will be gone by April

so I can start riding my bike again.

Tonight I am just reminiscing and posting some pictures that are very special to me. Heather looks like she is one of my daughters and just as beautiful, well she is now. I claim her as our's. We now have six daughters.
