My Happy New Year wish for you Is for your best year yet,A year where life is peaceful, And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish The past year’s memories, And live your life each new day, Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday With happiness galore; And when it’s done, I wish you Happy New Year, and many more

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it

It seem like only yesterday when I made this post here http://cre8ncam.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html. However this event actually occured 23 months and 2 days ago and Guess what??? Gage comes home tomorrow 12/30/2011. His plane is scheudled to land at 2:14 at the Salt Lake International Airport. I can hardly wait to see this kid again. Of course I know he is not a kid and a lot has changed him and even us in the course of 23 months and 3 days.

We all got to talk to him on Christmas eve and even he is super excited to be coming home.

If you want to read what he has been up to the last nearly 2 years youcan read about here on his blog

Freedom is not free

There is a price we pay for freedom
For it is not truly free
But rather paid for by the contributions of veterans
To buy our liberty
As their blood drains from their body and runs like a river through the grass
Over the years it's forgotten, war is placed in our past
I don't think we all realize the importance veterans play
as they voluntarily serve America each and every day
We should honor the veterans for they act like a shield
Protecting us from danger, keeping America healed.
So if you would take a second to commemorate
You will instantly see
We owe veterans our gratitude
For they are the reason we are free

Hogle Zoo Summer 2011

My mom and I made several trips to the zoo this last summer. She wanted to take each of the grand kids and wanted them to got separately. She thinks I didn't enjoy it but I had a lot of fun and it was interesting to see how different each one of the kids were in what they prefer to look at.
We got to see the Dinosaurs

The elephants. Baby Zuri turned two this year

Enjoying a drink

Amy joined us on one trip and it was great to spend time with her

Eryk loves to monkey around

Each Trip came with a ride on the carousal

More Dino's

Giraffes

Taking a break

Thanks for the memories Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

I want to dedicate this post to the most wonderful person in the world. Well I think so anyway. My Best Friend, My mother.... Today October 11th, is her birthday. I am not sure how old she is but only because I don't want to spend the time thinking about it and I am sure she wouldn't appreciate me telling everyone out there in cyber space.
Besides age really isn't important, it's only a number and doesn't really define who or what a person is.

Happy Birthday mom, and thanks for truly teaching me that Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass... but it's about learning to dance in the rain. You truly are an amazing person and fantastic dancer, even when you don't really feel like it. You are an inspiration and I am so lucky to call you Mom!
