"Fiddler"

Last Saturday we got to see Rachel and Sarah perform in "Fiddler on the Roof. Their elementary school put on the wonderful production. Rachel had one of the lead parts performing as Hodel. Sarah was a dancer. We loved the show. Here are few photos and videos of the musical. I don't have a video camera, but I can take videos on my digital camera. The quality isn't the best, but it is the best that I have. Rachel started to sing the song Matchmaker before I could get the camera in the video mode. Sorry my hand was shaky. I missed the first part of her solo. She has a lovely voice. It was impressive that an elementary school has so much talent.

Sarah is the dancer with the brown blouse.

Distinguished Artist, Abbi Knowlton Israelsen


Abbi has some drawings in a Distinguished Alumni Exhibition at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at USU. The exhibit is open from March 23 to April 23. Abbi, Ryan and their daughter were in town for the opening of the exhibit.

The drawings are part of her collection for the ARDS Foundation. She was in the hospital a year ago this month. We are grateful she is a survivor and is a recovery success story. Check out her "Drawing for ARDS" (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) Blog at

We went to Firehouse Pizza to celebrate Abbi's achievements!


A grandma's blog is a brag book! This is an adorable grandchild! Don't you agree?


Abbi comes from a wonderful family. They are always there for their children. Thanks to the Knowltons!

Three Adorable Grandchildren

I had fun tending Ryan and Abbi's daughter while they were house hunting in Indiana. Karl and Christina left their kids just for the evening. We had a great time. The cousins plays well together.
Kitty looks pretty tired. We played hard.


Kitty loves animals. She brought a backpack full and we pulled out lots of my Beanie Babies and Webkinz!


I wish they lived closer!

Floyd's Birthday Party

Here is Floyd with his Grandpa Geddes.

Have you ever seen a pizza shaped like a number?
We had pizza and arcade games at "Fat Cats" to celebrate Floyd's 5th birthday. His favorite present was a Snuggie he had asked for. Here he is showing off his treasure!


There is definitely a competetive side to Gordon and AnnMarie.
