Happy Anniversary, Matthew and Katie

Whoops! I'm a little belated-yesterday was Matthew and Katie's sixth anniversary! I was so busy cleaning and putting away stuff after painting the front bedroom that I forgot to post a blog to say, "Happy Anniversary"! It sounds like they had a great day and a wonderful dinner out! They have grown together a lot in the past six years and we are so happy for the blessings they have received in the last few years. Here's to another great year together!
We love you! Mom and Dad

My Best Friend....

"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life." Hugh Walpole, Sr.

For 34 years, you have been my best friend.....someone who is caring, thoughtful, wise, loving, humorous, hardworking, a great dad and grandpa, a sincere and honest man. Thank you, Rick, for being such a great companion and husband! Happy Anniversary!!! I love you!

Happy Birthday, Joy!

Happy "21st" Birthday to our wonderful daughter-in-law, Joy! What a great wife to Eric and super new mother to little Olivia! We appreciate Joy's loving and caring spirit. She always thinks of others first and brings a shining light to those around her.

Joy, we are so happy you are a part of our family and that Eric is a part of your great family. Hope you have a Happy Birthday today!!!! We love you!

Happy Anniversary, Stephanie and Brett

Today is Stephanie and Brett's 5th year anniversary! Wow, it seems like it was just a few years ago that we went to Mesa for the wedding! Stephanie was such a beautiful bride (a little prejudice here~but she was and is very beautiful)! We love Brett and are very happy that he's our son-in-law! He is a wonderful husband and father. Together with their two sons they have become a great wife, husband, mom, dad and family. We hope that they have a great day and wish them many happy moments in the year to come!

Love ya both, Mom and Dad!

More pictures of Olivia

Eric and Joy...thanks for letting me help out for a week. I just loved every minute of it (especially holding and cuddling Olivia). She is so adorable and cute. I wish you were closer. She would definitely be spoiled by her two grandmothers.

Yellowstone Pictures!

I am finally getting around to putting some Yellowstone pictures on my blog. I did sneak a few from Mandee. I was so busy making sure everything was done that I didn't take too many pictures. It was such a fun trip. So great to be with Rick's family....they are a fun, hilarious and adventurous bunch. We loved the lodges...best way to be with family. It was a little noisy at times but with eight kids age 3 and under it was very understandable. The kids seemed to love every minute...from playing pool, floating down a leisure river, falling in, watching old faithful erupt, seeing the buffalo, cowboy hats and neckties, and trying to escape through the forest...they seemed to have enjoyed everything. For the adults, we enjoyed being able to visit and get to know each other better. We had fun hiking and watching for bears (Mandee finally got to see one....her wish for the trip), competing for the dutch oven best, staying up in the hot tub till 2:00 in the morning (teens never need sleep), taking turns falling off the raft in 2 feet deep water (not tooooo scary), taking pictures in Yellowstone for the Picture scavenger hunt (some of us were cheating a little - a stuffed bear!!!Really!!!---but it was Mandee who the grandprize went too for her awesome video of a small grizzly across the river) and just hanging out together. We hope all had a good time, Rick and I had a wonderful time!!! We hope that those who weren't able to make it this year will be able to make the 2011 Boggess Family Reunion..Aline and Althea are in charge~~~Hooray!!!
