The other morning we all met at an entrance to a housing development to have our group picture taken. It was quite an act to get everyone lined up and the photos taken. After the group shot we did smaller groups - dentists, hygienists, assistants, front office. Haven't gotten those back yet. I must say that working with this group of people has been a blessing to me. They are wonderful, caring people who work together as a team to make our patients feel special in every way. Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday Duchess..............

Saying
"I'm the one, I'm the one!"

See how cute I am - how could you ever resist me???

You should have guessed my tongue would eventually be gigantic!

Carrie came to visit at the perfect time to fine tune the puppy training!

Happy Birthday girl!

Pampering ourselves.....

Mandi and I treated ourselves to a morning of pampering with facials from a Mary Kay consultant and decadent fruits, croissants, and a specially created delicious dip . After indulging we put every one of these concoctions on our faces and they felt very clean and smooth afterwards!

Here's a picture of Mandi and Melissa looking through Mandi's makeup kit.

The critters needed to be contained so they spent the morning in our bedroom. When I went in for something else I found Snickers cuddled up in our tub.

When I went back after the facials she had moved just a smidgen but still stayed in the tub. Guess she was enjoying her own "spa day"! We girls know how to have a good time!

There are times when we just call her WILD DOG...

There are times when Duchess goes berserk. I finally caught her on video. Mostly she's just a streak of white but you'll get the idea.

Introducting #11.....................

Meet our #11 grandchild.....Melissa. This is her kindergarten picture from this past Spring.

And here she is in her dance class - third dancer from the left with her arms up! A star is born!!!

And TA DA, the pose!

Pool party raided by the police.....

Okay, we look pretty innocent, don't we??? Our church had a pool party/barbeque at one of the developments in our ward. I was amazed that the sign said "871 maximum capacity" by the pool. We had no where near that many! There were also a lot of people there not of our church. We hung out at the pool for a little while and then mosied (that's what us old folks do) over to get a hot dog and salad. I turned to see Larry talking to a lady who was demanding to know what group we were and who gave us permission to be in the pool. He thought she was joking at first thinking she was a member of our church that he didn't know. She was getting more upset by the minute so I told her who we were with and that didn't seem to calm her down. We have about 12-15 families from our ward who live in that development but she was upset because there were so many of us there. Our group was only scheduled to be there from 5-7 p.m. and by this time it was already after 6 p.m. We apologized to her and she left. About 40 minutes later the police came - yep two patrol cars. They kind of cased us out before actually coming over to talk to us. Our bishop was ready as he approached one of the officers with a water balloon - that's when we left. As we passed by them we saw everyone laughing and at ease so we think things are under control. Guess we'll find out tomorrow at church - if the bishop isn't there we'll know it wasn't.

Aleana and Rowen......

A picture really is worth a thousand words!!!!
