The rug store in Turkey!
Well actually, it started when our friends, Rulon and Nancy invited us on a Mediterranean Cruise last year. When the ship arrived in Turkey, we were taken to this amazing 6 or 7 story rug store; store seems like an understatement. The salesmen wine you and dine you (or in our case, apple juice you and dine you), show you the rugs in the colors and styles you are interested in, share the history of the hand made rugs and then the bartering begins! That's when I walk out! I wasn't even aware rug shopping was on our agenda. I did know however, that Dennis has always had a passion for oriental rugs, since he was raised in a home with hardwood floors and rugs everywhere. So, we bought a beautiful rug, which they told us they would have it delivered to our home. I was surprised to see that they actually delivered our new rug, in person, to our home in Utah! Now that's service! About six months later, they showed up at our home again with a moving truck full of, what else, more rugs. While I was tending to grandchildren in the other room, Dennis purchased another rug!!! This is a very frugal man I am married to, so it surprised me to no end!!

Bailey and Trinity turn 10 years old!!!
These two cousins born a week apart, May 22 and May 29th couldn't be more opposite. But their differences is what makes them so charming! I love them so much, and had a blast spending the afternoon with them! Happy Birthday Bailey Alexandra Peters and Trinity Ann Sansom!!!

Happy 86th DAD!
The last several months, my father's health has declined quite alarmingly for me. It has saddened me to see him struggle with his memory and his body. His birthday was May 11th, we tried to show him our love with a birthday luncheon at his place of residence. I think he will remember it this year since I took pictures and put them in his room. I just want him to remember he is still loved by his family. Last week, we moved him to an Assisted Living facility, which will be better suited to meet his needs. Thanks a million to my family members that were able to come visit him or give him a phone call that day!!

Lewis!!!!
Our newest grandchild is Lewis Hendrik Peters. We have done his photo shot in stages. He is a beautiful little man and a great addition to his family. If you check out Sara's blog, you will see he has already changed from a few weeks ago when I took this shots!

Mother's Day 2007
This was a major surprise for me!! Dennis and I were touring parts of Europe with a group of friends. Once again this year, we were gone during Mother's Day. I'm not going to lie, I was SAD to be away from my children and grandchildren. Sunday morning on Mother's day I was sitting in a restaurant in Vienna, Austria having breakfast when a friend came up to me and said, "Check out what I have on my laptop!" I was screaming and crying at the same time. I'm surprised I wasn't kicked out of the restaurant!!! What my children lack in singing ability, they make up for in enthusiasm, passion, devotion and unconditional love!!!! Telisa just found this clip and emailed to me this morning!! Tears came all over again!!!
