Playing with the kids.

Mamo giving the kids a ride to bed after their bath. Asher ready to go shopping with Mamo and Mommy. He loved wearing my sunglasses, he is so much fun.

Shopping at the Mall

After Sharae and I canned tomatoes she wanted to go do something fun. So we went to the Mall. First stop was to the quilted bear, I love to spoil my kids when I am with them. She loves my jeweled watches so we got her one. They are fun because the watch itself goes with different bands, they are very popular here in Utah. Then we went to express and they were having a sale so she picked out some jeans and a few shirts. With her new hair cut she was looking pretty trendy. It was like she had a make-over. We also saw Edward from "Twilight" and she got a picture with him.

From Vine to table to jars.

Sharae taught me to can tomatoes, she is amazing and cans lots of fruits and vegetables.

We even drove by "Mrs. Fields" home-this lady sold her recipe for cookies which made her famous. You can buy these cookies in the Malls. This is a huge mansion.

After going to Museum we came home and had lunch and let Asher take a nap, then we got ready and went for a short hike in the mountains close by our home. It was a beautiful day so we took advantage of it by being outside. Asher loved holding Chiquitas lesh and walking her, Ian did not want to. The views were beautiful, it was just nice spending leisurely time together before we had to drive Sharae and the boys back to Pocatello to meet Joe. When we were done, we came back to the house, I bathed the kids, Sharae finished her packing and Papo cooked hamburgers on the grill. We ate and were in the car within an hour. It is amazing how much you can get done if EVERYONE HELPS OUT!!

The Museum had these airplanes for kids to sit in, they had pedals so they can actually ride around in them. We ended up pushing them because their feet could not reach the pedals. It was fun for them.

Saturday September 11, 2010(9 year anniversary of the tragedy of 9-11 in New York).

We all went to the Hills Airforce base Museum to look at the planes. We asked Ian if he wanted to go see the Dinasaur Museum or the Airplane Museum. Sharae wanted to go to the Dinosaur Museum but, Ian won and we went to see the Airplanes. Ian and Asher love airplanes. So we went around 10:30 and walked around outside and looked at all the great big airplanes and helicopters that flew in the wars. Hills airforce was having a special ceremony for the 9 year anniversary of 9-11 at 2 p.m. They had large pictures up showing people jumping from the world trade centers during the terrorists attack. It brought back reverent feelings of all those who lost their lives. After we walked around outside, we thought we were done untill we went inside and there were twice as many airplanes to see. So we had spent several hours their. We learned that the "Pido" on an airplane (which is a long cylinder on every airplane) tells the pilot the airspeed. Ian learned all about that, but kept forgetting the word. When I would tell him the word again he would say "thats right" and then later ask me again "what was that name", I would tell him "Pido" and he would say "that right". He was so cute, he is so smart and talks well, he loves to learn new things. In one picture where Ian is crying-he hit his head on one of the propellars and just before Papo said "Be careful Ian not to hit your head" and no sooner had he said that, Ian hit his head and was crying and mommy consoled him. So we took a picture.
