Salmon Fishing

Matt went salmon fishing this weekend with his dad and brother. They all had a really great and successful time. Each caught 1 fish which is the limit now for salmon but it was plenty. We have a lot of salmon to eat. Matt took some to work today to share with everyone. I am not big on salmon but I have to admit it was pretty good when we cooked it last night after he got home, talk about fresh! They could not have asked for a better day to fish, it was like 75 degrees out, not bad for November! I am so glad they had a good time. It's nice for him to spend time together with just the guys, I know I like just girl time too! They are already talking about planning another trip.

I found this christmas song that is playing while I was searching for a good song to play on my blog. I thought it was funny and it made me laugh. I thought I would share for anyone wishing the same thing!JK!!!!! I did put an appropriate thanksgiving song after though. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!

Happy Halloween! Hope you have a wicked scary day!

Happy Birthday Jeff, see you tomorrow night.

Sixteen!?!

Happy Birthday A.J. I can't believe you are 16! I remember like it was yesterday when you were born. I was in high school eating lunch when I decided to go to the pay phone and give my mom a call to see if you were here yet (I didn't have a cell phone WAY back then!) I was so excited to here that you had made your arrival and you officially made me an Auntie! You were my little buddy. I babysat you every chance I got and we would go to all the baseball games and football games that were going on at Nevada Union. My friends adored you, you were such a cute little boy. Congratulations on passing your drivers training and getting your permit. How EXCITING! You will soon be getting your drivers license and I can't wait to hop in the passenger seat and take a spin with my nephew. That is if you won't be embarrassed to have your auntie with you! Practice those driving skills and we will see you this weekend! Happy 16th Birthday Alex Jack Taylor!
1st birthday!

You being the "cool" kid that you were(and still are)!

Practicing your baseball skills in grandma and papas yard. Look at those cheeks, such a cutie!

You have grown up to be such a great young man and big brother. Thanks for being the person that you are, we are all so proud of you!

Happy Anniversary Jerry and Barb!

Happy Anniversary! We hope you enjoy your special day. Thanks for being such a positive influence in our lives. I hope I am correct in saying that you have been married for 15 years? What ever the number is it is a great accomplishment. We love you guys! I feel very blessed to have married into such a welcoming and loving family and I know Matt feels the same about growing up in such a great family. Happy Anniversary!

Sunday BBQ with the fam

A few weeks ago some of my dad's side of the family came down for a BBQ. My aunt Sharon is here visiting from Montana and Matt and I had not made it to Grass valley yet to see her. It was a nice time visiting with her and the first time my aunt Jeanie had seen my house. My Aunt Sharon comes every year in September to stay with my Grandma Del and to see the rest of the family. My Grandma Del is going to be 95 this January and is still living in her home on her ownand I am so thankful for that. It is getting harder and harder for her to get around so it was a real treat for me to have her make the trip down to Yuba for the day ( she didn't drive if anyone is wondering, although she just gave up her license about 1 year ago). She defiantly knows her limitations and gave it up on her own. Thank goodness for that!
Thanks everyone for coming down for the day. We look forward to next years visit!

We had to get a picture of all the girls.
