Fun in Thatcher

This past weekend the kids and I went to good old Thatcher to spend some time with the family and go to the Pioneer Celebration. The Celebration was kind of a bummer because it rained cats and dogs and they had to cancel the parade and program. So I don't have any pictures of it! But we did have fun still! We went to Jerry's as a family and then we did get to see the firework show! WE had great seats! The fireworks were RIGHT ABOVE US! It was SO LOUD. I felt like I was in a war zone. The girls loved it...Baby Malin slept through the whole thing! Our Daddy was gone on a surfing trip with the Teachers Quorum from our previous ward in Tempe. That will be posting soon.........Read on about other adventures in Thatcher.

We visited our grandpa Innes at the Safford Nursing Home. He has had Parkinsons for 20 years and alzheimers for a few years.He was just recently put in the nursing home. It was very hard to do but it is the best for Grandpa and the family. He was the mayor of Thatcher for 25 years, and owned Innes Associates, family insurance company. While we were there, he said he was trying to sell life insurance to his roommate,Maurice Cooper. Too funny! We had fun telling him jokes, singing him songs, and He LOVED the chocolate shake we brought him. Savannah and Aubrey really warmed up to him. It's sad to think that this is the only way they will remember their great grandpa Innes here on this earth. He has high spirits. WE love you Grandpa Innes I had fun redecorating my sisters rooms. Above is Jillian's room It is lime green with pink, blue, and lime green polka dots on the walls. It turned out really cute. Jillian is ECSTATIC to finally have her own room! And i love decorating! Grandma had a great time with her grandkids while The girls and I redecorated the room.

This Leisel's room but it's not entirely done yet. She has one dark chocolate brown wall and the other colors are tan. She matched the colors from her bedspread. Home Depot did a color match, so they are the EXACT same colors as her bedspread. NOtice the top is not all the way painted. The crown molding still has to be put up......dad is in charge of that. Leisel still needs to decorate it. She is going to blowup some pictures of her doing gymastics to put above her bed. She got a free photo shoot in her gymanstics outfit doing certain moves, like the splits, needle, etc. and they are blown up life size and put in the gym where she teaches gymnastics. She was also jsut made captain of the Spirit Line!
