Life Goes On

We are all back from Maine, where we went the first part of June to have Donnie's burial services.  It was a nice day, and we had a great visit with friends and family!  Now it is back to normal life, or as normal as my life is now.

We are all excited that Donnie and his family now live in Boron.  We love having them so close by and being able to spend more time with them.  We get together every Sunday for family dinner and see each other several time during the week.  They are still getting settled in, but things are looking good.

Carol-Ann and family are doing well.  Dayton is getting so big, so fast and Dillon just had his 4th birthday!  The animals and work keep them busy but we see each other pretty much every day, since I live on the ranch.

I am adjusting to single life, as best I can.  I go to work, spend time with my kids and grandchildren and watch a lot of movies.  But I must say that there is a huge hole in my life.  I am very lonely although I am surrounded by people most of the time.  It is hard to be without something that you have had as long as I had my husband.  I miss him terribly and I'm sure I always will.  But I try to keep my chin up and move through life.  My back is healing and I have many more good days now than I did before the surgery.  I try to find things to keep me busy, but that isn't always easy.  Some days are better than others! 

Just a quick update on everyone, I will try to write more later and add some pictures of the grandchildren.  Hope all are doing well and having a great summer!

Some Christmas Photos

 Dillon waving and saying "Merry Christmas everyone!"
 Zeb riding on his birthday present, that he didn't get until we got to Arizona.
 He doesn't look too thrilled with the lotion, does he?
 Eden loved her camera, she took about 450 pictures in two days!
 Funny how they both do the same thing as they zone out watching a movie!
Here is the little princess wearing her heals that she absolutely loves!

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish everyone a joyous and prosperous New Year!  We are hoping for good things in 2011 and will try to keep you all updated here on our blog page.  Currently, we are still awaiting the arrival of Dayton Jean Thomas, but will let everyone know as soon as she gets here.  I am currently preparing for back surgery on January 17th, so should have plenty of time to post some new pictures and current updates on the whole family once I start feeling better.

Donnie is selling pigs for upcoming fairs and we are headed to Fallon, NV this weekend for a pig auction, that he hopes to sell some more at.  It has been really cold here and we even got a little snow yesterday (1.5 inches), but it melted all away before I got home from work.

Hope all is well with everyone and I will post more later!
