Getting a little caught up with everything. Becky had a total hip replacement in April, she did her left hip first then she is planning on this fall for the right one to be replaced. She is doing very well recovering nicely.
I had cataract surgery first eye June 19 second one on the 26th. I was so excited to get it done, I can see 20/20 without glasses or contacts. What a difference I still have a trouble getting out of the habit of thinking I need to remove my contacts to go to bed.
Fourth of July we had a couple of our children Toby and Tim come to rexburg for a visit. They brought 7 of our 20 Grandkids. What a great time we had going to the rexburg parade, having a picnic at the neighbors, and lighting fireworks in the evening. Only one accident Wesley got a burn on his cheek from a sparkler.

Getting away from the snow
This was the view looking out our window of the condo, on the beautiful island of Maui. The weather was wonderful, 70's at night and 80 during the day, light breezes and just plan beautiful all day long. What a great way to spend 6 days in the middle of January. We left home with the temp in the 20's, the week before we left it was 17 below zero, can you blame us for getting away. We had a great time soaking up the sun. Hopefully it will keep us for the rest of the winter.
Our beautiful daughters, Tawny, Tawna, and Tassa, this was Tawna's birthday celebration eating dinner at the Outback.
Walking along the beach every morning barefoot I got to see these amazing sights, waves breaking and surfers riding those waves.
Walking along the boat docks on the way to our whale watching trip, we saw this big sword fish that someone had just caught. To see the pictures of our whale watching trip click here to see Tawny's great pictures. http://tawnythornton.blogspot.com/ .

North Dakota Trip April 2009
We get back from our cruise and two weeks later decide to go to a funeral in North Dakota. Becky's uncle Arvid Olson passed away he was 92 years old. He had lived a long and productive life. He was a farmer all his life. In North Dakota you count on what the Lord gives you in the way of rain and good weather so your crops will grow and you will be able to harvest in the fall. Arvid did pretty well with what he had.
We made it back to Williston and the next day we left to come back to Rexburg. It was a great trip. Not quite a cruise to Mexico but a good trip just the same.
