4th of July Breakfast 2008

Many years ago, our friends, Bette and Marilyn, had all of us over for Breakfast every 4th of July!! The kids loved it. When that tradition subsided, there was murmuring amongst the troupes, so we started having our own. This year we extended invitations to our kids in-laws and Travis invited an old friend from High School who happened to be in town, Eric Robinson and his family. (he has 6 daughters!) Greatly missed were Clay, Telisa and Bodie, Kim who was ill, Chad and Steve (both working), Stephanie, Jason, Jack, Dave, Mikel and Lilly! After we stuffed ourselves with homemade Egg Mc Muffins (aka Lake Powell Special), Hash Browns, Fresh Fruit, Turkey Sausage, Yogurt & Granola, Bran Muffins and 3 1/2 Cinnamon Rolls each!, we played in the water, and by we, I mean the kids and the dads, Tara invited us all over to the Sansoms to swim. We actually wore out the kids, some of them fell asleep before they even went home! Speaking of worn out--Den and I crashed when it was all over, we could hear the fireworks from our bed, but we were too tired (old) to do anything about it!! Happy Independence Day everyone! We are truly blessed to be Americans and enjoy the freedoms we have!!

Thanks for the Birthday Dinner!!

My Birthday! SURPRISE!

I know it's July and everything and my birthday was in June, but I just received these pictures from my SURPRISE birthday dinner in May!? I think Telisa wanted to have a little dinner party for my birthday before she, Clay and Bodie journeyed back to Cleveland! We missed Chad and Tiffany, but it truly was a surprise and I always enjoy an occasion to celebrate! Thanks for the gifts (love the apron, Kim!), the cards, the cakes and the laughs! I was deeply touched by the tributes on your blogs!! Tears! We can all breath a sigh of relief! JUNE is over!

Dennis Peters Annual Golf Tournament 2008

For Dennis' 50th Birthday, in lieu of a big birthday party, he just wanted to golf with his favorite buddies, so in his honor I gave him a Golf Tournament. We named it the Dennis E Peters Golf Tournament. It was a success in every way, so Dennis decided to carry on the tradition every year since then. This was year ten, and primarily due to Tiffany's prompting, the girls decided to form their own foursome. Tiffany is the only one that had any golf experience what so ever, but the girls were willing. The team was Tiffany, Kim, Tara and Tristen. The day prior to the tournament Kim found out her sister was coming into town from Chicago and was planning on staying with her. Naturally Kim was torn, as she had committed to play on the team and had already purchased the team shirt with the girls in Ohio. I spoke to her and assured her that I was perfectly willing to make a complete fool of myself and take her place. Much to my complete and utter surprise, I was able to actually hit the ball and occasionally rather straight, not far, but straight. We ended up with two extra team members, who pretty much out played us, Cade and Zach! Tiffany was the super hitter. She even won for closest to the pin for the entire tournament! Tara, Tristen and I muddled through, but nevertheless, we finished 18 holes, (9 would of been great!) Each one of us took turns having a good hit, which gave us such a thrill! My husband truly loves this sport with his whole heart and soul. Now I understand his vision. KIM, you were missed! NEXT YEAR!
