Since our new daughter-in-law to be hasn't been to Utah before Matt has been taking her every where to see the sights!! They just got back from Price and while there they went to Moab. She says she loved it that it was so pretty. They went to Helper and saw "Big John", crossed the swinging bridge (well Sam didn't make it across she was a little scared) and then went to the Helper Museum and saw the mining exhibit. Last night they went to the Salt Lake Temple and today they are going to Antelope Island and the Gravity Hill. Poor girl is going to be pooped out by the time she comes home!!
She was so excited to see a "tumble weed", she made Matt pull over so she could get a better look! She is so funny!
I guess I should tell you a little about her. She lives here in Pennsylvania and is going to school at West Virginia University. Her and Matt met while they were both interning for Consol over the summer. They are both Engineering students and plan on getting married when they graduate from school (which will be next summer)!
Corban is upset because Sam is really his girlfrind and now that Matt has asked her to marry him that kind of put a wrench into his relationship with her. He cried and told Heather he wishes he was big so he could marry Sam!! He is so funny!!

Matt's engaged!!
Matt's engaged!!!! We are so excited to have a new addition to our family!!! Matt asked Sam to marry him on Sunday (on his birthday!!) and she said yes!!!!!
Matt being such the romantic, he hiked up a trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon and found the perfect spot at Moss Ledge and carved into a tree the big question. He had picked out her ring a while ago and then when I was in Utah he got my stamp of approval (it is so pretty). Sam flew into Salt Lake on Saturday and Sunday morning they went for a ride up the canyon. Matt made her hike for a long ways and just when she thought she was going to pass out from the elevation Matt had her sit on a rock (the tree was right behind her). Matt told her to look at the scenery behind her and when she turned around he got down on one knee and when she read the carving and looked back at Matt..........he proposed!!! How romatic is that!! She is not sure she ever said yes or if when she passed out that Matt put the ring on her finger and then when she came to he told her she said yes! Either way they are engaged and we are all so excited!!!

News & Pictures
It's been awhile since I have been able to post anything on my blog and so much has happened. Me, Heather and the boys flew to Utah for a family visit and to give my sister Laurie a Surprise 5oth birthday party! We had so much fun and Laurie was really surprised!!!
It all started with me, Heather, my sisters Sue & Val and my Mom trying to get things ready for the surprise party. Laurie got her feelings hurt a few time because she thought we were doing something fun without her...........little did she know we were having fun making a scrapbook and planning, shopping and cooking for her! The day of her party I was supposed to pick her up at 1:00 for lunch and I was a litte late (because we were making sure everyone was there before I went to get her) anyway, when I went to pick her up she was standing by her front door with her purse in hand. She reminded me of my Grandma!! Then it was up to Delaney and I to get her to the church for the party. Delaney and I had practiced on how we were going to do this and the minute Laurie got in the car Delaney went into her acting mode! Although it sounded rehearsed (which it was) Laney told Laurie she left her sweater at the church and her mom would be mad if she didn't get it so if Laurie could let us in we could get her sweater. When we got to the church Laurie asked Delaney where the party was...........Laney couldn't remember (we didn't practice that part) so she said "UM..........I don't know" Laurie couldn't believe that Delaney could forget where the party was in the church since she had just came from there so I said lets go look in here. Well when we rounded the corner everyone started singing "Happy Birthday"! She was so surprised and then she started crying!!! It was so much fun and there were so many family and friends there to wish her happy birthday!
Laurie is so wonderful to so many people and especially to her family!! We were glad we got to surprise her and let her know just how much we love and appreciate her!!!
During the two weeks we were there I also got the chance to see Delaney and Dakota cheer and play basketball! Dakota is such an awesome basketball player!! His team won their region game and of coarse Dakota was the star player!!! When he finally grows into his size 10 shoes he will be even taller and will be making baskets without even jumping!!
Then there is my little Laney Bird. She spent the night with me a couple of times and I swear that Hurricane Katrina was not as bad as what it was sleeping with her!! I got kicked in the face, I got toes in my nose, her little bum was on me all night long and if I did try to move her she weighed as much as a refrigerator!!! Impossible???..........No just trying moving her yourself!!! It was fun and it was fun seeing the two little love birds (Corban and Delaney) in the mornings. Corban couldn't keep his lips off her! Anyway, I got to see Delaney perform during halftime and oh my gosh is she so good!! She is quite the little dancer and has moves that some professional dancers don't have!! All the other girls watch her and I can see why.......she is on beat, never misses a step and is so pretty to watch. Her stunts are awesome!!!
We had so much fun and I hate leaving but I was glad to get home.
I will post some more pictures later of my two little guys but Ihave misplaced my camera. I know I'm getting old and I can't remember but at least I'm not 50 like my sister Laurie!!!
Keep looking because there are more pictures of our trip!
