Merry Christmas

2010-12-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

Wishing you a Joyous Christmas! May you find peace, love, and comfort through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We love this time of year because we get to remember the Savior and his birth. We are grateful for his sacrific and love.
We wish you lots of wonderful memories with the ones you love! We hope to have a quiet and memorable time this Christmas. Mike and I still enjoy getting up with the kids and watching them open presents and see what surprise Santa brings. Of course this year, Mike says that he is sleeping in until noon and the kids are not allowed to wake him up before that. HA HA like that is going to work with two kids and four dogs. The dogs usually have him up by 6:00. We will keep you posted if his wish comes true.
May God Bless you today and in the coming year! We love you all!!!

Jessica is in High School!!!! Yes, she is a Freshman!! She is starting to like her schedule and has only one more change to make. She wants to do power walking for pe. I think she will like that. We love her and wish her happiness throughout her years at the high school.

Wisdom teeth

2010-08-29T21:03:00.000-07:00

POOR JOSH!!!
He had his wisdom teeth out this past month. Yay, it didn't affect his smarts any (HEEHEE)! He was VERY honery after he came home:(
He is doing excellent now and his recovery was fast. Hopefully, we will have no more surgeries for him for a LONG time.

NEW MARSHAL IN TOWN (Ely, Nv)

2010-06-25T15:10:00.000-07:00

Keith Anderson (Reba's Brother) Grand Marshal

2010-06-25T15:08:00.000-07:00

Keith Anderson named the July 4 Parade Grand Marshal

By Bunny Hill
Great Basin Service Club

The Great Basin Service Club is proud to announce long time resident Keith Anderson as the 2010 4th of July Grand Marshal. Keith was born in Fort Riley Kansas and later moved to Ely with his parents and siblings at the age of 5. He attended the Murry Street School, the old Ely Grade School and graduated from White Pine High School in 1975. Keith left Ely for a few short years to attend Snow College and graduated in 1981 with an Associated in Applied Science Degree.

Returning after graduation to Ely in 1981 Keith not only worked in the family business, Anderson's Foodtown, but he also became active in the community. He is the father of 4 children, 3 sons and 1 daughter and the grandfather of one. While raising his children he became very actively involved in many of their interests.

Keith is a true advocate for the youth of this community. He has enjoyed 25 years coaching White Pine Little League along with 10 years serving on the Little League Board of Directors. For the past 19 years he has been a 4-H leader, many times leading more than one project area. During 15 of those years he has also been the chairman of the Fairgrounds Improvement Committee and Livestock Committee Chairman for 2 years. He has served as the Merchant Bureau Chairman and was a member for 10 years. He is a 20 year member of the White Pine Chamber of Commerce, serving 5 years on the executive board and 1 year as President of the Chamber.

For the past 24 consecutive years he has been a member of the National Pony Express Association/Schellbourne Re-Riders. He participates yearly during the re-ride. He helps bring the history and excitement of the Pony Express into the White Pine County Schools each year. This is the 150th Anniversary of the Pony Express and Keith was instrumental in insuring the elementary children received letters that had been carried by the Pony Express Riders.

Hunting, hiking, motorcycling, horseback riding and camping in the mountain have always been significant parts of his life. Keith feels blessed to have had the opportunities to develop the great relationships with our youth that he has.

Even with his own children out of these programs Keith has remained active with them. When asked "why?" his response was "I consider them all my kids. I love this county, its people, and the mountains. This is where I grew up. This is where I raised my family, gained friends. The memories I have of this place run deep. It's my home!"

The Great Basin Service Club is proud to have such a dedicated person as Keith Anderson be our 2010 4th of July Grand Marshal.

Summer Vacation

2010-06-09T20:19:00.000-07:00

Yay, it is that time of year when I get to have some needed R & R. :)
Jessica is planning to go to Grandpa and Grandma's in Ely for a couple of weeks. I will miss her and have to call her about 20 times a day. I have been doing some house cleaning and playing on facebook. I know this summer will go by very fast. We are going to Ely for the 4th of July and watch Keith in the parade. He was asked to be Grand Marshall this year. We are very happy and excited for him.

Sorry :(

2010-03-21T15:40:00.000-07:00

I am sorry I haven't posted anything since January. The time has been going by so quickly. The kids are busy with school stuff. Jessica is going to be in the "One Act Plays", so I will post pictures soon. Everyone is doing great! We just enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend.

Vacation is over

2010-01-04T20:20:00.000-08:00

Darn! I wish vacation could be longer. Actually, I really liked being back to school. I missed the kids! It was also a great break from my own kids fighting. Yes, towards the end they really needed to be away from each other. Tonight they are not fighting.

Happy New Year

2009-12-27T20:35:00.000-08:00

It is hard to believe that another year has gone by. I guess the saying is true, "The older you get, the faster time goes!" I would like to wish all my family and friends a great year to come. Praying always that God will protect you and keep you safe and healthy.

Thanksgiving 09

2009-12-05T15:03:00.000-08:00

It was great to have almost everyone there. We enjoyed each others company and food. Grandpa really enjoyed the banana cream pie. I bet your wondering if he ate the whole pie? You'll have to ask him! Hopefully, next year we can have the whole clan!

Lightning Tackle

2009-10-02T11:39:00.000-07:00

I know it is a blurr, but it was to the guy with the ball too! It happened so fast! That the camera couldn't get the next shot. Look Out! Out of nowhere arrives No.73, Joshua Stier, to help complete the tackle. Awesome job Josh!

2009-09-06T15:33:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, September 2, our new addition arrived. His name is Sammie Stier. He is a Shih Tzu. He is actually Charlie's brother. Same parents different litter. So Charlie is the older brother. We are very blessed because he is a sweet, adorable, and cuddly puppy. The other three just love him. I will post a picture soon!

Greenwave Football

2009-08-14T10:03:00.000-07:00

Football season has begun. Joshua is excited and likes it. My goal is to make it to every game, home and away because I remember my parents being there. Thanks Mom and Dad for the support!!! Luckily, I have Jessica to ride with me to the away games. We will meet Mike there since he works in Reno.(most of the away games are in that area) They have a scrimmage on August 22 and their first season game on September 3rd. As a mom, I am so excited and proud that he is getting involved in school and making lots of friends. Oh by the way, did I tell you he is now 6'2". Almost taller that his dad.

Jungle Book

2009-06-27T10:48:00.000-07:00

Last night we went to Joshua's play, "The Jungle Book". The college here has a theater class every summer and Josh participated this year. He played Colonel Hathi and a tree. He had a great time. He has another performance tonight and one on Monday. The one on Monday is a special benefit performance for the choreographer. She has osteosarcoma. She is only 20 years old. The kids did awesome last night!!

Our new car

2009-06-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

Okay well it is a used 2004 Prius, but it is new to us. We love it. On the average it gets 51-53 miles per gallon. This will really help with rising gas prices and Mike driving to Reno everyday. I will post pictures when I get them on my computer.

Heartbreak and another Angel in Heaven

2009-06-13T12:17:00.000-07:00

We are sure faced with tough decisions in life! Today we put our beloved Tawny to sleep, June 13, 2009. She was very sick and not eating. She had lost 11 lbs in six months. Most of the weight loss was muscle mass. The vet said that she had a tumor in her stomach and couldn't do anything to help her. We know that she is in heaven with our Annie Girl running through the fields and happy. It was so hard! We miss her so much already! We decided to have her cremated like Annie and we will put her by Annie on our piano.

Car Accident

2009-06-06T13:45:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Mike called me on his way home from work and said that he had been in an accident. Luckily, he was not hurt. He was stopped in traffic with a car behind him. The car behind that car, the lady was reaching for her water bottle. When she looked up, it was too late!!! She his the car behind Mike and that car hit him. Now we have to wait to see what our insurance will do. Scoring it totalled and having it replaced with a new car would be a blessing. It will depend on what it is worth and if it will cost the insurance company more to fix it than it is worth. It actually is worse than it looks in the pictures. We will see!!! We are very thankful that he wasn't hurt.

Eye Of The Tiger

2009-05-30T15:26:00.000-07:00

The Jr. High has a Spring Jam every year and this year Joshua wanted to sing. He did a very good job. You should of heard the girls. I wish I would of recorded them. Screaming and Chanting Joshua's name. My talented son may one day be the next American Idol. I just can't believe how brave and outgoing he has become.

Acting--Future Star

2009-05-18T18:24:00.001-07:00

Last week we went to Joshua's one act plays. The picture is him playing an Old Hawaiian Blind Man. He did an awesome job. Of course being the absent minded mother that I am---I forgot the camera/movie camera. So the picture is with my cell phone camera. He had two other plays that he was in and one of them a girl had to try and kiss him. I have never seen him run so fast!! Yes, I know that will end in a few years. Something that I don't look forward to. (Sorry picture will be posted soon)

Surgeries

2009-04-27T09:24:00.000-07:00

Wow! I didn't really know families could have so many surgeries at a time. At the beginning of April, Joshua had his tonsils and adenoids out. He has recovered wonderfully! He comments that it is great to have all that room in there. His tonsils were huge. Just recently, Jessica had her gallbladder out. Yes, she is only 13. It is concerning because there seems to be quite a few young kids having them out. She is doing good though. We are four days past surgery and she is doing great. Also, Mike just had to have a root canal done. He had to go to a specialist because his roots are so deep. Now he has to have a crown on it. I am really hoping that May brings better health and FUN stuff! I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed my family with great results and that they are recovery wonderfully.

My Birthday Present

2009-04-18T16:57:00.000-07:00

My awesome husband and wonderful children got me a new cell phone. I am sooooo... excited! My favorite feature is the touch screen. I told them that it will take me the next year to learn all the other features. I sure love my family!

Young Living Essential Oils

2009-04-13T19:09:00.000-07:00

I have just become an independent distibutor. I have actually been using them the past 6 months with the help of a friend. I love the smell and theraputic aid that they give. I became a distributor to help my family and friends to become healthier, not to make money. If any of you are interested I can send you some information or order any product for you. You can also go onto young living website and review the products and history of each.

Patience

2009-04-11T14:55:00.000-07:00

I am new to blogging! So far I have had lots of fun trying to figure it out. I am sure if I turned it over to my son, he would already have it figured out. I am looking forward to having fun!!!
