This is the Story of

Little Red Ridinghood

She got up early in the morning to get ready for a fun Halloween day.

Her brother Parker was all ready

and so was her Pa's dog Lilly (the bumble Bee)She went out exploring and stopped to smell (well pick) the flowers.

She decided to go for a walk in the "Forest"

"Oh My" she said, I think I hear a strange noise.

I hope there is not a Big Bad Wolf in the forest

Out from the trees in the forest came a

Big Bad Wolf who wanted the goodies in her basket.

She was so afraid that she

dropped her basket and ran.

She decided the forest

was not a good place for her to be.

She decided to find a Super Hero and there appeared

Superman to her rescue.

They had fun carving Pumpkins.

She like the Witch one that Pa carved

and the Ghost that Mommy carved

And the happy face Mormor carved.

But she did not like the one the Big Bad Wolf

carved of a Pumkin throwing up on her Mormor's

Happy little Pumpkin.

It took her by surprise

and down she went.

She wanted to go Trick or Treating

but got scared of a Scarecrow and Ghost

Superman said "I'll protect you and show you

how to get lots of candy. So off they went.

He came to the first door and Knocked 3 times and

waited and then the door opened and he said

"Trick or Treat"

And to her surprise the door opened

and a very friendly man filled there baskets

with candy.

Superman said this time you knock.

So Little Red Ridinghood bravely

knocked at the door, keeping Superman in her sights!

Wow it worked, more candy in her basket.

When her little legs could go no farther.

She wanted to go home

She decided that Halloween was a super fun day.

She even shared her treats

with the Big Bad Wolf.

The End

I watched the kids for a week while Allison and Brian went to Hawaii.

This is the way Summer eats her hamburger. First, she eats the meat.
Then she eats the bun!

Just thought I would send some of our pictures so you can see we were able to retieve almost all of our pictures, thanks to Russ and Michael!!

This is Diana's house we stayed in while in Nauvoo
Nauvoo Temple
The original seats at Fenway Park we only had 1 row above us!!

4th of July in Carson City, NV at Russ and Emily's Home

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

"God Bless America"

Russ and Neal barbequed Rib eye steaks and corn on the cob. YUM

we also made Homemade icecream.

Here is the crew chowing down!
Saturday at 6:30 am Neal went to the RR museum to watch them fire up the 2 steam locomotives. He was in hog heaven. The public was able to ride one of the trains and the other one was for show it was an 1873Inyo the oldest wood burning locomotive with its orignal boiler. It only comes out once a year. It was in the movie the "Great Train Chase". Neal is by it. It was very pretty.
The girls went in one car
The boys in another.

Parker was so cute he would pull his arm down to the engineer to blow his whistle

Here we are Me, Carol and Emily by a big cannon and the national guardsmen.
Me and dad with the BIG cannon in the back ground
In the park listening to the concert, there were at least 1,000 people in the park.
The town of Genoa

Parker wanted so much to like the fireworks but it was just too scary
Hannah loved them and had no fear. Wait til next year!

The fireworks were real pretty and lots of them.
The kids fell asleep, it was a pretty big day for them and they were so good.
Here is me with one baby and dad with another!!
Here is the crew. Emily took the picture

Here is Russ waterskiing. I tried to put in the video of it and after almost an hour of loading it shows up as a black square. So I quess I will have to have a leesson on videos. Well Russ was on 2 skis and was able to drop one and ski on just one. he was really good. I had it all on video darn.
Here is Dad on the pier after our boat ride.
This is the cute golf cart that took us around. They had a parade of patriotic golf carts earlier.
The yellow and the blue umbrellas is where we were.

We packed a nice lunch and sure enjoyed the day.

Dad is "Tubing" He is being pulled by the boat. The boat goes in circles to make waves and it can really bump you around. They were real nice and didn't go too fast. They went way fast with their 16 year old son. He was flying in the air, but never fell off. Oh youth!
I decided to give it a try.
It was alot of fun. They went real slow for me. Then I gave them the thumbs up to go faster! Notice how blue the water is. I have a video of me Tubing but it was still loading after 45 min. so I canceled it. I am too impatient when I really don't know what I am doing in the first place.

Carol and I took the Kayak over to a private beach called China Beach. We also went through a tunnel of pilings. The shore was so pretty and the water was so blue. It was very relaxing.
Parker and Hannah were so cute at the Lake. Parker liked the Kayak until Russ and Emily put him in with them, he wanted out!!
By the looks of Dad and Lilly I guess you can tell we had a big weekend!!

It sure was fun.

Brian getting ready for a bike ride June 21

On Saturday I told Brian I would watch the kids if he wanted to go on a bike ride. He was getting his bike ready and I learned alot about bikes. # 1 he doesn't have peddles like a normal bike. He has special shoes that fit into a slot where normal peddles would be. He checks his air in the tires and oils the chain.
See the special shoes! He has biker pants and shirt. The shirt has pockets in the back instead of the front. That is where he carries his cell phone.
I will have to say he was sure a good sport of me taking his pictures!!
Off Off and Away!!

Brian and I sure had a fun time over my stay.

Oh yes I forgot to mention I was watching the kids as Carol, Allison and Rebecca went to Mexico for their sisters weekend.

My first attempt to put in a video.

I thought this was going to be really, really long as it took forever to load!!! I was surprised when it went so fast! The kdis sure got a big kick out of playing with Brian. He even had me laughing.

Fun in the backyard

Brian figured out how to add the slide to the pool. Summer has no fear and just went sailing down it. ben followed right after.
Soon as Summer went down Ben went and then he scurried ahead of her to get in another turn. She caugt on and the race was on. Brain and i had so much fun watching the kids play.
Summer was too slow for Ben but she held her own so he had to go around her. summer liked it when Brian ould growl at her. She would go up to where he was sitting and stand in front of him . He would let out abig growl and she would turn and run for the pool with Brian chasing her. She just giggled and giggled at him. He sure is cute with the kids.
Then Summer was done. But Ben stayed in the pool another hour.
