Shelley and Ella make a visit...

A few weeks ago my purse was stolen. To be truthful having my credit cards and drivers licence taken and used wasn't what bothered me. It was the taking of my grandaughters favorite purses, and the camera and phone that was in my purse that stinks. I do not like not being able to able to call my kids at any given time...a visit from Shelley and Ella was wonderful. Ella is already changing....she's sweet.
Shelley and David had some really cute pictures taken, I love them all. Now I need to head to the store and print some up to hang on the wall. It is really been fun getting to know these grandkids...

Rogers Memorial Theatre...

For Christmas since Brent and I got married he has purchased season tickets to Rogers Memorial Theatre... I have loved it. As you can see we have some fun plays to attend this year. Tonight it was HMS Pinafore; very cute. Aboard the ship, H.M.S. Pinafore, Captain Corcoran’s daughter, Josephine, is in love with a lower-class sailor despite her father’s intentions to wed her to the pompous cabinet minister in charge of Britain’s Royal Navy. Ever the dutiful child, Josephine abides by her father’s wishes at first—but true love’s siren call convinces her to elope with her heart’s desire! They are caught mid-flight, but as a result of a surprise disclosure from a local bumboat woman, things change dramatically for our lovers in the end...

Ward Hawaiian Paradise Cruise

One of my callings is the activities chairman...I love it; Brent saids he's called by default. Let's say he's learning to like it. We have lots of fun things planned this year, our Hawaiian Cruise March 6, was a success. Thank goodness we have dollar stores, I found most of the decorations there. Kathy Rodda had some beautiful large shells that we use to decorate our buffet table. Sharon Fredricko loaned us a large tropical looking plant for the center of our buffet table. To get our large gym to look somewhat like the inside of a cruise boat John Anderson printed up huge port holes...they are my favorite! I have a wonderful group of people I work with. I wish these pictures could really reflect how nice the Hawaiian Cruise looked... 
I am looking forward to more fun things to plan...I guess I am somewhat of a party girl at heart....
