Groneman Family

THE BUFFALO HAS LANDED! :-) I had to go present to a class at UVU so I didn't get to see her yet, but she & Marilyn went to see a movie. They called and said they went to "Monsters vs. Aliens" so I suppose we know who picked the movie.

A happy birthday to my dad. I was just reflecting yesterday with Marilyn how all the family that were important and close to me as I was growing up are gone. I'm certainly glad I've got you guys now.

Katie, welcome to the quarter of the century club!!! Course, we won't be seeing you at their meetings, because we are moving up in the ranks of the half century club, but I know you will make an impact there for good! We LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!

Today at church I showed Kiera a picture of the salt lake temple and asked her "what's this?" She declared that it was Cinderella's castle. I told her it was the temple and then she insisted that it was Cinderella's temple. When your world revolves around princesses theses things can be confusing.

Visions of little childrens laughter as they played in our little playhouse was the goal I envisioned as we gave away our little playhouse last week: But that was NOT to be! It is a chicken coop! Yes, we had several people who wanted it..but the ones that got it are turning it into a chicken coop! OK, whatever...Kim didn't have to tear it down! I rode to Walmart today for the first time on my bike! And I was over there as fast as if I had been in my car! Funny how hard it is to break old habits: Even though I had firmly in my mind that I was leaving to ride my BIKE, I went in to get the car keys!~and then I again felt for them in my pocket as I was leaving the store! Riding a bike will be a good thing! I was alarmed to realize how pathetic shape I was really in...my legs started aching before I had gotten 5 houses down the street, and it was a slight downhill slope!! We go walking all of the time, but that uses different muscles. So it will be good to let these muscles kno...

Today we took our trailer down to Marysvale for the summer. We talked about what we wanted to do and decided we wanted to ride the summer away. Going to Moab in May to start the riding then we'll be spending some time in Marysvale and some time at the mountain property. I've also got a season pass to AF canyon (you kids can borrow any time). Our friends in Marysvale live up a nice wooded canyon by a stream and are letting us put our trailer on their lot for the summer. If summer *must* come, I may as well enjoy it as much as I can.

I posted a LONG post about Emmy, but you can go to our gronemanbunch blog to see it. I hate to move down the adorable video of Kiera! :)
