"THRILLER"

On Saturday, we had a "Girls' Day Out". Since it's Halloween time, I decided we should get in the spirit by seeing Odyssey's "Thriller". All of us love dance so much and love this production and we were excited to go together. We started the day off with lunch at Chili's. YUM! The performance was amazing as usual although Liz was a little creeped out by the zombies. By the end of the day, she agreed to pose for a picture with one. We had such a good time together.

I have always said that women are the glue that holds a family together. If the women are close and enjoy spending time together then the family will be close and enjoy spending time together. I have found this to be true both with my mother, sister and nieces and with my sister-in-law and nieces on the Steed side of the family. Hopefully the girls and I will continue to strengthen these bonds as we find new fun and enjoyable things to do together.

I Love Baylee

I may be biased but I truly think that my granddaughter, Baylee, may just be one of the cutest babies ever! We had so much fun last weekend. Baylee and her parents spent two days with us for a scrapbook/conference weekend. We got to play together while her mommy worked on her scrapbook and while her daddy watched Red Sox baseball. This little girl is such a delight in my life.


Baylee is a Red Sox fan like her daddy.













Baylee is just as cute as her mommy.














Baylee found Aunt Kelsey's old recorder. She loves to blow it and is so proud of the music she makes.

Grandma's little angel!

Out to Lunch

Last week I went to lunch with my Mom, my sister Raegan and my Aunt Myrtle, my mother's sister. We met in Logan at the Olive Garden and had a wonderful visit. Luckily, I had my camera and we took this picture of the four of us.

Our New Deck!

Perhaps it was because of my threats to pour
gasoline on our deck and set it on fire, Val decided to tear apart our old deck and build a new one out of Trex. Trex is an awesome new building material that needs NO MAINTENANCE. We will never have to sand or stain our deck again! Tearing apart the old deck was a big job and Travis, Wade and Dan were a big help to Val. They also helped in the construction of the new deck. Kelsey served as Val's construction assistant. I stayed in the house where it was air conditioned. I love the end result - it is beautiful! Thank you Val for all your hard work.

I Love Legacy !

The new Legacy Parkway opened on September 13. Val, Kelsey and I took a Sunday drive to try it out. My evaluation - WONDERFUL ! It is a much-needed, beautiful stretch of highway from Farmington to I-215. I can't believe that it's completion has been postponed for so long.

On Monday I took Val to the airport and we used Legacy. The traffic moved smoothly, and we got to the airport in record time. I was back home before I knew it. Coming home from Idaho on Monday afternoon (5:45 p.m.) I used Legacy. There was no traffic. I could see northbound I-15 moving smoothly and without backup. I couldn't believe it. As you can tell, I'm very excited about this road. Finally - driving in Davis County is not torture any more!

Today I took my bike out to try the biking/running trail that runs adjacent to the highway. It is GREAT ! Our area has been in need of something like this for many years. I saw people biking, walking, and running. There were workers all along the path working on landscaping, finishing touches, etc. This is going to be an amazing thing for our area. Try it out - you'll be hooked, too!

Football Fun

Last weekend, Grandpa Val and I decided we needed a little Baylee time. We picked her up from her parents and took her out to dinner and to the football game with us. It was so much fun! She stood on my lap the entire first half and watched the game and the cheerleaders. She would clap her hands and shake her arms and yell every time the cheerleaders would cheer. It was the funniest thing ever! She loved watching all the excitement and was such a good girl. She never cried or fussed even once. I can't believe we have such a perfect grandchild. We will definitely do this again! Baylee and Aunt Kelsey at the game
