Jamie's Birthday Party

We had a family birthday party for Jamie at H2Oasis,a popular water park in Anchorage. It was so much fun! Everyone had a wonderful time doing the Lazy river on inner tubes, the Master Blaster, and the Body Slide. Jamie, Mercedes, Alanna, and Megan ran around doing things together. Sheila, Tyler, Kari, and I went on the Master Blaster right away and I almost "chickened" out.

I rode the double inner tube with Gerry through the Master Blaster and screamed all the way through it with my eyes shut. After the first initial bump on my bottom I yelled at Gerry "Pick your butt up, pick your butt up." He said later he didn't
hear him and he hurt almost all the way through until he figured out he needed to pick his butt up to keep from hitting the bottom of the tube we were skimming through.

Matthew enjoyed the water and I had some good opportunities to take some photos. Since we were having so much fun in the water, and I had to put my camera away in the locker area I only got fourteen pictures.

After the water activities we went to Kari's apartment for cake and ice cream and for the birthday girl to open her presents. It was a very nice afternoon.

blog

I am so thrilled to be starting my very own personal blog. Everyone in our family seems to have a blog going and my daughter has set me up with the nicest grandma blog. I look forward to sharing a lot of my thoughts and feelings with you about what goes on in our family. I feel so blessed to be in Alaska with the majority of our grandkids. Those of you who are not so close are thought of often. In a perfect dream world I would have all of you here. But, we make the best of what we have, which is much. I love you all very much and am proud of all of my grandchildren. They are all precious, talented,smart, loving, and absolutely beautiful inside and out. May we continue to have the Lord's blessings in our lives.
