Garrett is married and it was great. We have the sweetest new Daughter (in-law). We are just plum Proud. Brad did the slide show for the wedding and then embellished it before he left.

WEEKS AND WEEKS LATER

Okay, I am not as good as I thought at computers. I have been fighting with this blog for what seems like forever. Heather finally helped me and got me started again.

Back Garrett and Leslie.

Yes we are very pleased with Garrett's choice of a wife. If I were to describe her it would be AWESOME!!!!! She is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, caring, giving, she worries about others. She treats Mikaela like a little princess. Skyler, Well when he is in his bad mood. Leslie just grabs him and makes him, let her love him anyway.

Leslie has great visions of the things she wants to accomplish in her life. It will be great fun to watch accomplish her greatest desires.

Okay, now about me. I have finally returned to the Doctor only to be told that I have bone on bone. It is time to do something about my knee's. That will happen (I think) in October or November and then again in January or February. When that is done then it will be on to fix my back. Where my ruptured disk is now collasped. I hope to be up and going strong by April.

Dad and I are starting to think that it is time to start to slow down and do some of the things that we want to do, and not have to do. So as soon as the truck is paid for, I think we will be done in the Cemetery. I am selling some of my horses, (I hope). And as animals go away they will not be replaced. Except maybe the pigs.

Maybe will move.

Jody and her husband have moved away and Jody's parents have moved back along with their son John and his significant other and kids. They sold their place back east and have come home to stay.

I am not sure what we are doing. I do know that some things are going to change.

Update Carol had her legs amputated. Although this did not change her life expectancy. She has severe calcification in the veins and arteries of her heart. They say she only has about 6 months of less. We have loaned Dad's van to them so that they came make the best of the time that she has left.

Hi Everybody!

Well, its almost time to hear those wedding bells!

Garrett and I are really excited. Everything is coming together beautifully in the last couple days until the wedding. I'm getting all packed up for this weekend and then for our trip to Disneyland. I am almost just as excited for Disneyland as for the wedding!

Cher bird is tons of fun, although I am very allergic to her. My eyes are all bloodshot and itchy. But I just love her so much! She is cute as cute can be. You guys will love her so much, and she will you.

I started moving my stuff into the apartment today. And, I am getting a lot of my own kitchen stuff off the registry. Today I got towels and a toaster in the mail. So much fun! I am feeling all "growed-up!"

Well, I can't wait to see you all on Friday. Kat, John and Baby Brett... we will miss you.

Love,
Leslie

Two post in one day WOW, miracles do happen.

We are down at Kathlen and Jon's having a great time with our Grandbaby. Brett turns 1 on the 4th. We are leaving tomorrow and so we are celebrating his birthday today.



Lindsey (Thompson) Hayter and Tristan (Higham) Hayter came by the first night we were here. They came to pick up plants that the Thompson's had sent down for them. When they saw Brett, they commented that he sure looks like the Hodgson side of the family. See if you agree.

Treasure and Baby

For all who have not see Treasure and her Colt. This was taken just hours after he was born. He was kind of clumsy. Now he tears around the pen like it is a race track. He is a great deal of fun to watch and play with.

We put a large ball in his pen to play with. It is an absolute blast to watch him kick it around the pen. He tries to bite it, but just can't seem to get his teeth to sink into it. I like to see him try and stand on it. When he does the ball goes one way and him the other.


We still do not have a name for him. But it looks like it might end up being Ernie. However Skyler is still fighting for lighting.
