Wildhorse Fireworks on Saturday Night!


It was the 13th Anniversary for Wildhorse Resort & Casino and they celebrated on Saturday night with an awesome fireworks display! Here we are with our special glasses on (they make every light look like a dollar sign) waiting for the event to begin.


Beau and Megan loved their special glasses and thoroughly enjoyed the show.

There were many gasps, oohs and ahhhs while the show was going on. The finale was the best I have ever seen and everyone clapped, hooped and hollered with total satisfaction as the event ended. Thanks Wildhorse for the great show!


Oh yes, I couldn't believe it on Sunday morning when I opened the patio curtains to set my eyes on snow! I am about up to "here" with the stuff. Go away....it is Spring!

Late Easter Post!


The Saturday of Easter weekend we watched Meg and Beau Easter Egg Hunt in Pilot Rock. This was a very special year as it was Megan's last year to hunt eggs 'cause she was getting too old! Here Megan is getting tips from one of her girlfriends on where all the eggs are before the hunt!

Well, Meg found one in the tree!

Beau found many eggs....he was a great hunter!

We came back to "grandma's house" and the kiddies colored their Easter Eggs.

Tara, Megs and Beau as they began the Easter Egg coloring event. Wow, did they ever make some great colored eggs! Way to go!

Here is Beau's favorite egg. I sure hope your Easter was as full of family as mine was. Can't beat that!

St. Patrick's Day at the Rainbow!


The "shortest parade in history" crosses Main Street from Hamley to the Rainbow on St. Patrick's Day! The parade was led by the town mayor, Phillip Houk! This parade is always early @ 7 a.m., but with the early time change this year, it was almost in the dark!!


Here the crowd anxiously awaits the parade and the proclamation so the festivities can begin inside the Rainbow.


I couldn't resist taking a photo of some of the patrons in the Rainbow on St. Patrick's Day. Boy, if you haven't experienced a St. Patrick's Day morning at the Rainbow....you have missed out!


I gathered up the crew for a photo shoot. Don't they look like they are going to have a great day! You couldn't help but smile as you entered the Rainbow.


Here is the inside of the Rainbow before the parade. Everyone is having a "toddy" or eating breakfast as they await the parade. Believe me, by the afternoon...you have to wedge your way inside this place!
I'm so glad I made it to the event this year. I sure was hoping that the Chamber Girls would join me, but they must have slept in. Maybe next year! Hope your St. Paddy's Day was full of green fun! See ya next year!!!!

Happy Birthday Fun!


Zona and myself on March 15th celebrating our birthdays together at the Haines Steakhouse. Zona is so much fun! We exchanged presents and had "Happy Birthday" sung to us by their staff.
Here I am with my "kiddies" on my birthday. We had so much fun eating cake and ice cream and playing Wii. Tiah and I both got "tennis elbow"! It was a great birthday filled with precious family time....lots of memories were made! Thanks everyone for making it the best birthday.
