OH WHAT FUN!!!!!!

The second week of April Jack and I went to the dunes with his youngest daughter Tricia, his good friends Joe, Sherry and their son Marty, his wife Melissa and 2 year old son Cole. We had a BLAST!!! We went to the Coral Pink Dunes in Utah. They are beautiful!! I have really never gone quading before so this was my first experience. I had so much fun. I have to say it was the funnest thing I have ever done in my life!! We were there from Saturday to Tuesday. When we arrived on Saturday there was about 4 inches of snow. It was cold!! Each day it got warmer and the snow melted. They told me I looked like I had been on quads before as I looked like I knew what I was doing. I did not know what I was doing! I just followed Jack for the most part knowing that he wouldn't take me somewhere that would be dangerous. Of course he went on some very high dunes where I wouldn't follow I would just stay on the lower part of it and have fun. By our last ride he had me to the top of one of the highest dunes there. He told me he would be totally impressed if I went down where he went down, so of course I just had to impress him so down I went!! FUN!! For the most part we had all the dunes to ourselves. Very few people were there. One lady had to be air evaced out,she broke her pelvis. I am sure it was all pretty dangerous but to me it was just fun!! When Jack and I first met he talked about how he loved to camp and quad and I said OH GREAT!!! That is not me!! Well I guess it is now!! :-) I went two days and one night without a shower. WOW!! He has definetly seen me plain Jane and he still likes me so we are good! I am ready to go again, the plan is to do it again in September. I cannot wait! I am sure the fastest I went was 30 to 35 miles per mile but it felt like I was going at least 70! I am looking forward to doing things like this with Jack, what a great way to help build a relationship, doing things together that we love! Jack I love you! Thank you for showing me that I can have fun if I will just let go!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

In the middle of February I started talking to a nice man on ldsplanet.com. For the first few days we talked just a little bit in messages. I decided that I would like to talk to him on the phone. So the forward person that I can be, I asked him if he would like to talk on the phone and his reply was, Not right now ok? Well, impatient me wrote him the next day and said, here is my number, call me if you decide you would like to! HAHA 30 minutes later my phone rings, it was him. Jack and I talked for 2 hours, he told his kids this, BABYIMAWANTYOU (my username) from LDSPLANET.COM is kinda aggresive, I don't know about her, I think I might delete her. The next night he calls, we talk for 2 more hours, The next night he calls we talked for 3 hours. The next night, Friday night, he calls and we talk for 4 hours. We decided we would like to meet. When he hung up he told his kids, I am going to meet her!! His son-in-law says, Oh my gosh!! You want to meet BABYIMAWANTYOU??!!! Isn't she kind of too agressive for you? He said, Yes she is but I think I like it!! We met Saturday after talking just 4 times on the phone. Jack took me out to dinner and to a movie, we saw a great love story!! We had so much fun together!!! I liked this man on the phone and then when I opened the door he had me at Hello!! He is adorable to me, He is 6'2" and I love it!! A TALL man, I have always wished for a tall man, it took me to man #3, but I got him!! ;-) He said he fell for me on Sunday as he sat in church with me and loved every minute of it. He loves my smile, he tells me I am pretty and he likes my laugh and how we make each other laugh. I love his personality and his great sense of humor! We just click, we feed off of each others sense of humors and it is so much fun!! I love the kind of dad that he is to his kids, so far he treats my kids so kindly and with much respect. He is very kind to me and treats me with respect. He likes my cooking, uh oh! I better start liking to cook again!! So far I have met his 2 daughters and am going to meet his son real soon I hope. Yes I think BABYIMAWANTYOU and ARIZONA54 are falling in love!

What a cute family!!

Starting Over

I am going to start my blogging again. It will be interesting on what I write over the next year. No telling what craziness I will come up with, there is no doubt that there will be some. Since I blogged last I have had another granddaughter born on October 12, 2010. Her name is Farrah, she is adorable. Her big sister Courtney age 6 thinks she is wonderful. Audrey age 5 fell and hit her sister Laurens head and knocked out one of Audreys teeth. All of the girls are growing so fast. We all miss our little Caden that passed away on June 7th 2010. Caden is my first grandson. Carlee is talking up a storm, she can say anything now. Even things that we don't want her to say... BOOBY and POOPY are her favs!! My love life is pretty much in VERY slow motion right now, we will see what November brings. Derek is being Mr. Mom right now and is wonderful at it.

I have got to get better at my blogging. I discovered how much fun Facebook is so my blog is looking very vacant! I am going to start it back up because I am forgetting all of the cute things the kids say. Jessica had my blog printed for me for this last Christmas, a years worth of blogging and I absolutey love it. I have a journal now so I need to keep it up. It is priceless!! My sister Shelley and I are going to Disneyland/California Adventure this Wednesday until Saturday. We are flying, it scares me to fly. And we just looked at the forecast, 2 days of rain, this will be interesting!! We are going to have so much fun!! I kept Courtney last week while her parents went to Hawaii, they had so much fun!! Lindsey is pregnant we still have to wait awhile before we know what they are having, I am of course pulling for a boy so Caden will have a pal plus to have the Hall name carried on. But we will take a girl, we seem to do very well with girls around here. Courtney wants a boy she said, because if we have a girl she will try to take my boyfriends away and then there would be TROUBLE!!!! She is so cute! And of Course little Caden came into our lives On February 11th. He is such a joy, my first grandson! The day he was born was so neat. The nurse told me where to stand while he was being taken C-section. I was just right outside the door where he came into this world. I heard his first Cry. I had tears in my eyes, and some people walked by, I said just excuse meI just had my first grandson. What a wonderful day!! Jessica is such a great mommy!! Carlee is 26 months and she is talking so good, it seems like everyday she comes up with a new word or sentence. I love it when she says I love you MeMe!! She calls her other Grandma MeMe also. Sometimes she get confused and calls me MeMa, She is beautiful with here beautiful curls. All four of the girls are so cute. I will add some pictires. I still have to blog about Christmas and a few more things.

This winter Jessica, Carlee and I went to see Mark and Shelley in Flagstaff, it was fun but sooo cold!

Courtney is spending the night tonight, she is so much fun!!
