Memories.....

I was going through my picture CD's and found these pics of me, Whitney and Chrissy. It seems like only yesterday that I graduated and left USU! Time really flies......

Jan's graduation from USU....with my friends...

A few months later Whitney, Jan, and Chrissy.....
one of my last days at USU!
I miss you guys!

The Breck Girls.....

Here is a pic of me and my sisters, Wendy and Nancy. This was supposed to be our trip to the Cayman Islands; but, a hurricane left us in Las Vegas!

Remembering the Veterans.......

Today is Veterans Day. Karl, Kaylee and I went to the local Veterans Memorial to remember those that have lost there lives so we could be free.....it was a beautiful place. Kaylee really loved the water fountain and I just could help but feel a sense of loss....especially because there are so many in this country who forget what was lost so that they can scream for "Political Correctness". Today that sacrifice will not be forgot......thank you to those who gave their lives, thank you to those whose family member gave their life and thank you to all those who are still sacrificing for their country! We appreciate you and we love you!!

Kaylee's favorite thing....she thought it was so nice.

She loved to just sit and reflect......

I really love this shot because the words..."We Can Live in Peace" can be seen with the reflection of the American Flag on the wall and the names of those that fought for our freedom......it is beautiful to see.....

Ethel M's Chocolate Factory.....

So, anytime we came on vacation to Las Vegas, we would visit Ethel M's Chocolate Factory and take a tour....so, since we all had today off we decided to go and try some free candy. Of course, Kolton and Kody declined to come; but, Karl, Kaylee and I went anyway. We had a fun time on the tour of the factory and walking the grounds where they were preparing for Christmas. It was funny to see Santa, a Snowman and reigndeer in the desert landscape; but, it was still fun....here are some of our pics from the adventure:

Santa rides on a boat now.......

Girls night out!

My sweet sister Lisa came to visit and brought another one of our friends with her, Vanessa. We had a great time! Lisa taught me to play craps and we sang Karaoke (mostly Vanessa, LOL).

I have known Lisa since I was a VERY young child and we grew up together! We have laughed, cried and had so much joy together! Thanks girl for being such a great friend and sis!!

Jan, Lisa and Vanessa....girls night out!

Mamma Mia

I won tickets to Mama Mia from the local radio station; so, Kolton and I went to see the show.
It was fantastic! We had so much fun!!

Jan and Kolton, Holding our Mamma Mia award letter!!
It was so much fun!

Karl's Dad, Roy....

Karl's Dad, Roy, is one of my favorite people in this world. He is so kind, sincere, and loving. I really love these pictures of him that Karl took.....if you know Roy, it is just him! He walked and climbed all over the mountain and wore Karl out! If you see him sitting, it is probably because Karl was tired! Karl did a great job taking these pics....thanks babe!

Roy is determined to keep climbing up.....

Roy loves the mountains....
he and Karl have a lot of great memories there.

Roy taking a much deserved (but probably not needed) rest.

Roy climbing the mountain.
If you know him, this will look familiar to you.

Roy looking for that "Buck"......
