TRIP TO COLORADO

Well, we made it to Colorado again this year! It was a nice trip and we got to see everyone of importance to us while we were there. Cameron and Katrina with Zelda and Oolee (their Miniature Schnauzers) came to Ansley and Eric's where we stayed for two nights. We started out at David and Vonda's and then rode with them and Zoe and Boris to Ansley's. It was so good to see all of them and especially nice to visit with those two little great-grand children. Serena gave up her bedroom to Grandpa and I and Colin gave up his to his Grandpa and Grandma. The weather was beautiful the whole 10 days we were there. As always, David and Vonda took good care of us. One very special moment I (Ruthelda) will never forget was at Ansley's home. Colin got some food on his hands and I told him I would wash them. He followed me to the kitchen sink and I very gently washed them with a paper towel. He looked up into my face with the sweetest expression and said, "Thank you grandma". That melted my heart for eternity! What a little sweetheart. Father in Heaven is sending the very best during these latter days. We were also blessed to have been there for the announcement that Ansley and Eric are going to have another blessed event in their family! Anyway, we also enjoyed the trip in our new car, a silver Nissan Sentra Special Edition. It was comfortable and we got 38.6 MPG on the trip (not too bad). We will be posting some pictures of the g-grandchildren later.

Going back to 2007

We forgot to show some of the Champion Goats that we had during the year of 2007

Well here I am waiting for Grandpa to get home from his half of the paper route. It is beautiful but cold outside. I always enjoy looking at the stars this time of the morning (night). They are sooooo bright and things look so "heavenly". Hope all is well with everyone that we love so much. Grandma

Year 2008 - so far

Well, as you can see, we have not done very good at keeping our Blog up-to-date. It seems to be something that we totally forget until something exciting happens to one of the family blogs (like being able to see little Axel before he got here). This has been quite a year for both of us. With Grandpa having his shoulder replaced and needing another one replaced and then Grandma having major back surgery and still not sure wether another one will be need or not. Guess we just have to keep our prayers up-to-date and have Faith in Heavenly Fathers plan for us. Meanwhile, we are most happy to have our family growing like it is. We now have one more Great-Grand Child than Grand Children. Wow, that make us happy and we are sure there will be more to come. The Lord has held back some of his very best for last. We were able to see Norman, Debbie, Lara, Jacob, and Ella for a little while when we were in Western Idaho for a Goat Production sale Sept. 13th & 14th. It was so good to see them. Little Ella was so loving and she and Jacob really loved seeing Boris (our Miniature Schnauzer), and he loved seeing children.
Meanwhile, back at the Boer Goat Ranch, we are selling a few at a time but still hoping to sell a lot more. We are becoming "slower" in our young age and need some reprieve. (Don't tell Grandpa!)
We love hearing how everyone is doing and were sorry to here that Lyn has been having some problems with her back. She is too young for that and has a busy little family to care for. We are remembering her in our prayers.
Soon, Joshua will be getting off of his Mission and staring a new life. We hope all will be well for him.
