Going to General Conference!

You can take pictures before it starts. Isn't this perfect. We were sitting right in the middle!

I think it must alway snow at April conference. We woke up to about 3 inches. Sunday morning! I did not even bring a coat, but my daughter in law let me use one of hers. Conference was awesome!

Super Conference weekend!

We spent the time is Daybreak at Josh's house. Ten children were there all day Saturday, for Conference weekend. first we had a talent show!

We also did a birthday party for Cameron, Sailor and Ty, had an Easter Egg hunt before it started to rain, and had a big family dinner as well. By the time the day was over with, we were happy to have gotten everything done with the kids we had wanted to do. Sailor's birthday is April 9th, Cameron's birthday is April 10th and Ty's 18th birthday is April 12th. We have two more to do in April, and that is Tiffany on the 15th and Jeremiah on the 22nd.

Meeting Kinley

Nolan looks a little bit put out. He was of course, because he is 4 and has better things to do, but I am sure she will grow on him in time. When Grammy asked if he had seen the baby yet, (she was still in her carseat, he said, "I already saw that! Funny kid!
Breya on the other hand was totally enthralled and said this after I placed her in her arms, "I can't believe I have my own baby finally" and is the best helper ever! She is 8.
In the hospital in Daddy's arms, not to long after she was born. She looks content and a little bit swallowed up. She is a tiny little girl!
Mommy Elliah meeting her for the first time. What a moment this is for Mommies!
She looked so alert just a short time after she was born.

We gathered last Sunday for the blessing of Jacob and Kelli's baby little Liam. Pictured here are not Isaac and his kids, cause he had already left the dinner which was after the blessing. Tara and Trent were able to drive down from Provo, and it was held in Cedar City.
They bought a little onesie dress shirt, found this adorable little white paisley tie, and Grammy made his little linen pants.
Liam turns three months on March 14, 2011 and what a handsome 3 month old he is too!

Josh Marries Barbara

A happy and beautiful Couple. . . . .Josh and Barbara Askeroth

Josh and Barbara decided to get married on President's day. A monday morning is a different time to get married, but it needed to happen. Todd and I were not able to get there, due to work, sickness and the day they chose. But Kendra and Jacob and families were
able to attend. They were married by her Bishop, and it happened at the new big home that Josh has rented to accomodate the seven children they have between them.

She wore Kendra's wedding dress and Sterling took all of these wonderful pictures for them. I think they both looked beautiful this monday morning on President's day February 21, 2011. I am so happy for them, I am not even sad that I could not be there.

Cameron, Makayla, Carys, Afton and little Avery were the flower girls. Don't they all look so cute?

Yep, we have added 4 more grandkids in a hurry. Brycen is 10, Makayla is 7, Caden is 5 and Avery is 2. (hope I spelled their names correctly) We welcome all of them to the Askeroth clan.

Resort?

Here is out the back patio and terrace of where we stayed for my fabulous birthday weekend. The nights are really cool, so the fireplace and heaters are perfect. It got up in the high 70's when we were there.

Leslie and Ron Leaf, who are Todd's folks, are the best host and hostess ever. They are so much fun and really great people, and their place is like going to a beautiful resort on a golf course. This is what they get to see everyday!

February and they already have geraniums and pansies.

Here is the front of their place in Surprise, AZ We had such a good relaxing time there. We ate out on the terrace. It was lovely.

And darn I didn't take any pictures with my sister. On Saturday I drove over to my sister's place to spend the day with her. We went
out to lunch and had a day of 'thrifting' We hit many garage sales, goodwill and also went to the Brass Armadillo, which is a very large antique mall. We had a great time. We are just so sorry we didn't get any pictures together.

A perfect birthday

Some of what I received for my birthday. These two framed domed silhouettes, are vintage and kind of rare.
My birthday brunch just before we left for home. We had a wonderful quiche that my mother in law made for us, complete with a candle. It was yummy!
A most perfect Birthday celebration trip to Pheonix! Here are some pictures of where we stayed!

Wrapping up the month of Jan.

Making valentine cookies with Cam, Carys and Afton (aka Bubba) Grammy always has so much fun doing this with the grandkids. We were tired and did not get them frosted after they baked, so we just ate them like plain.
Spending the night a few times at Elliah's house with Nolan and Breya, since Jeremiah was in Costa Rica.
Movies I attended in Theatres. Not something I do very often. But I really wanted to see these too. 'Tangled' and the New 'Narnia' movie. I started to teach baton again. I have crafted away for swaps and such. And Josh had visited two weeks in a row. It was great to have him around.

All about Liam

Our newest little Grandbaby and newest Askeroth boy.

Here are some pictures of Liam Jacob Askeroth.

He has been around for six weeks today.

It is about time I posted some more pictures

of his baby hood so far. He is truly a wonderful

little baby and Kelli and Jacob couldn't be happier.

His first Jeans.

His Daddy says he loves to be cuddled and held.

That pacifier is almost covering his face, but this one is his favorite!

Does Jacob look proud or what?

Our New Year's Eve!

Not only was it New Year's eve, we also called it the 'Bon Voyage' party for Jeremiah as he was being taken to the airport shortly after this picture was taken, to go to Costa Rica for a month for the company he works for. We had a lot of fun with the grandkids and all the family we had around that New Year's Eve Day too!

They enjoyed the Santa Village and the magic smoke that comes out of the Gingerbread shop.
As you can see, Evelyn, Breya and Nolan all have the same eyes. They come from my side of the family. They look like siblings for sure!
Some of our party spread.
Happy New Year to all!
