Aubrey's Birthday

This year for Aubrey's birthday we had a crazy day, but she wanted to go to the Wildlife Experience and see an Imax film. We also got to see their cool new 3D exhibit.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Aubrey and Connor started school today, they were very excited about the first day.

Being a Grandma...to nine!

Its not a secret anymore, and I am so excited to announce that Laura and Wayne are expecting their 2nd baby January 24, 2011. This is an exciting time for them as they have wanted another baby for some time now. Parker will soon by two years old (August 11th), he is adorable.

As for me, I am very excited to be a grandma again, Laura is such a cute mother and so good with her little Parker, I can not wait to meet this new little one. I'm anxious to know if she is having a boy or a girl.

This picture I took when we went to temple square back in June. Its only because of Him who makes all this possible, after the storm comes the rainbow, and Laura is now experiencing the rainbow...They are an extraordinary couple who have perservered and come out of a storm with grace and dignity. For all those who doubted them shame on you, for all those who unfriended them SHAME ON YOU...Friends stick by you through thick and thin..they do not abandon you. Christ would never abandon anyone in his or her time of need...I'm so excited for Wayne, Laura and Parker, they are so amazing!

I can't wait to meet you baby Rose, after a few more months you will join a home with two of the best parents EVER!

Ramos Family Camping trip!!

Our family went camping July 22-25 on Saundra's families property between Price, Utah and Duchene, Utah. We had a BLAST!  This was a serious roughing it camping trip. I have a few pictures of the first day/night, but then my battery in my camera died so I have to get more from Laura's camera.

I had dreaded going camping, because I am not a great camper, but it was so much fun, I didn't want to leave. We had one of the best vacations EVER!  Saunda's dad allowed us to use his 4-wheelers which only added to the fun and excitement while camping.
