Quote for the Week - America

America...

Home of the Free Because of the Brave

In this time of war it is important for all Americans to support our men and women in uniform. These courageous individuals have chosen to defend this great nation by putting their lives on the line for our continued freedom…

God Bless our troop!

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Today is my sweet hubby's birthday. Yes, Tim is 58 years old today. He has been working hard in St. George. So we celebrate another year of LIFE, blessings, health, love and joy...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMOTHY GLENN, may you have many, many more.

You're just as sweet -- or maybe sweeter -- than you were all those years ago when I first met you.

Quote for the Week - Save a cow

I saw this quote on the back of a horse trailer the other day, I think it's funny... probably because while you can take the girl out of Wyoming you can't take Wyoming out of the girl!

My Grandpa Federer with his cows. No vegetarians allowed on his ranch!!

Father's Day 2010

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!

7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.

8 years: My father does not know quite everything.

12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.

14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.

21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!

25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.

30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.

35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.

50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?

60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!

65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

"A truly rich man is one whose children run
into his arms when his hands are empty"

No one was more excited or more happy to be a Dad than Tim!

Mark had reached his limit!!

Mark looks very interested in the book.

Chris, Tim and our daddy-to-be Mark

Tim loves his boys and they love and honor him. He can't let a day go by without talking to them.

Father's Day ended with a game of Frisbee.

Tim has been playing Frisbee with his boys since they were small.

Mark can eat sunflowers seed and play at the same time.

Even our Tiffani joined the game. She plays a mean game of Frisbee!

We love you Tim, you are a wonderful father.

Quote for the Week - Baby birds

Our little babies have learned to fly! Right after I took this picture one of them flew to a nearby pine tree. I found myself saying, "You did it, way to go!" Why not, we all need someone to cheer us on.

From this...

to this in about two weeks. Pretty amazing!

There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

The bluebird carries the sky on his back. ~Henry David Thoreau

If God had really intended men to fly, he'd make it easier to get to the airport. ~George Winters

Angels can fly because they carry no burdens. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book

Whenever we safely land in a plane, we promise God a little something. ~The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

For my Dad

Happy 83rd Birthday Dad!

Dad and I went to the carnival during Frontier Days one year. We rode all the rides. The Tilt-A-Whirl made us sick and dizzy but we had a lot fun. This dollar bill was a souvenir from that night!

I miss my Dad and love him so much!

Quote for the Week - Success

“When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance given through Joseph that God, who knows we 'cannot bear all things now,' will not over program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear. (D&C 50:40)
~ Neal A. Maxwell

Ich habe fertig

Yes, I have finished the book to honor my Grandma and Grandpa Federer and their children. I could not let this year go by without commemorating the Centennial Anniversary of Grandpa filing his homestead claim in March of 1910.

I began in October and have poured through every available resource. I have scanned a zillion pictures and it has been a wonderful experience. I could not have completed the book without Tim's help. He helped edit and proofread all 152 pages! So it will be off to the printers soon. I hope everyone will enjoy it.


I will also include the Federer Family Tree with the names and birthdays of all 145 members of Grandma and Grandpa's posterity!

Big party in August!!

Babies!

On a wreath by our back door a Momma Robin made a nest, artfully weaving her nest material into the artificial leaves of the wreath. She is so cute. We pull up to the house and there she'd be, sitting in her nest on top of our wreath. We disturb her every time we come in and out.

Momma Robin watches in a nearby tree until she sees it's safe, then returns to sit on the eggs. She really has no defense, so the reason she flies away is to divert the attention away from the nest.

We came home yesterday from our Memorial Day breakfast up the canyon to see the eggs had hatched. There are 4 pink little fuzzballs in the nest ~ our Memorial Day babies!

They have a face only a mother could love! It has been fun to watch her. I am amazed with how she made the nest and how she is now caring for her newborn babies.

MOMS ROCK!
