It has been along time since I have blogged. I was at my Mothers last night, helping her with her blog. She pointed out to me I haven't blogged since Terry's birthday in September. Now it is just past Fathers Day. Wow, time really flies by.
We had a very happy celebration for Fathers Day at Brandi Jo and Russ's home on Sunday. We had a BBQ and it is always fun to be with all the girls, and their families. I really LOVE to be around all the Grand's. Those little spirits just bring me so much JOY. When we pulled up to Brandi's home, Chloe and Noah ran over to our car. I gave them each a sack of hamburger buns to bring into the house for me. Chloe was so excited to keep up with Noah, she fell down on the gravel street and skinned her knee. Her Dad came over, and he was just the medicine for her. Girls just love their Daddy's. This has always been apparent with Terry and his four girls. Each one of our adult girls have their Daddy wrapped around their little finger. So cute.
I have found out that I really, really love little boys. I love that I was a mother of all girls, and never ever thought I would think about little boys. However, since I have seven little boy Grands, I have changed my mind. I absolutely LOVE little boys. They are WONDERFUL.
One of the most important things to happen in my life happened just this last Saturday. Ginger An, my third daughter decided to go to the Temple to take out her own endowments with her Heavenly Father. Ginger asked me to be her escort. What a blessing. I realized this is the last time I would be a escort. I have now been a escort for all four of my daughters. Oh my. I was over come with love on Saturday. All my daughters have chosen to give their lives to Christ. I am so proud of them. They are beautiful Women. Terry and I did a pretty good job of raising such spiritual Women.
My Mom has been very sick lately. I have been so concerned with her health. Please, all my friends and loved ones whom read this blog, Please pray for my Mothers health. I have faith, that she will find welliness in her body and spirit through Heavenly Fathers grace. Her fibermyalgia is really hurting her. She is in so much pain. I love my Mother, and want her to have a joyous and pain free life.
On another note, seven weeks ago, Terry told me to he was ready to start working on my kitchen. So, I cleaned it out, and have been waiting for him to start working in it. I am still waiting. I feel like it is a open wound, that never heals. I am excited to have a new kitchen. I really want it to happen. I guess, I need to get a really BIG HAMMER and start makin big dents in the kitchen myself. I think it would feel really good to do that.
On yet another note, the cabin in Donnelly is ready for the summer. This past winter, there was a water line break in the front lawn. Therefore, the cabin was closed for the winter. Robby, Rob and Terry went up when the ground thawed and fixed the water line. I am so happy. The cabin brings great joy to those in the Mairs Family that enjoy it.
I will post more later, and try to keep my friends and family updated with what is happening in the Terry Mairs Family.

Birthday today
Terry's birthday is today, so I would like to take a moment to express my joy and love for this fabulous man in my life. Terry is kind and gentle, with a little bit of mischief mixed in. He loves to tease, and laugh. His voice always has a hint of a smile lurking there. He is so much fun to listen to. His sense of humor is just under the surface all the time.
Terry loves his girls unconditionally. Unless of course they do not agree with him! (that's a oxy-moron). He will spend hours of his time doing projects for them. He loves them so very much.
As a PaPa, Terry is totally head over heels in love with his Grandchildren. Everyone of them bring him happiness and joy. He loves sitting at his desk and blowing bubbles for them to catch. He has a special tin in his office that is full of candy for his Grands, and when I eat that candy, he gives me the evil eye. This candy is for his GRANDS.
Terry is in love with his WIFE. I know this, because I am his wife. He looks at me with the sweet look of love in his eyes. He is gentle and caring. He always is interested in my passions. hehe. :* When I am sick, he will make me soup.
Terry LOVES his parents. He worries and always wants to be available when they are in need. He talks of his life as a child with great love and fun. Terry's Mom and Dad have always shown him just how much he means to them, and Terry appreciates the hugs and kisses they bestow upon him.
One of Terry's favorite places to be is the Cabin in Donnelly. He breaths better in the mountain. The work he does up there is pure love. He always wants to go to the cabin. I believe that is were he wants to retire. I am all for that. I would love to retire with him up there.
Terry has so many talents. He is a worker bee. I know that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are so very proud of him. He has always been honest in his life. He is a no nonesense man, whom will always be truthful to you. He so loves to talk to you. He complains about me talkin to much, however, he always has time to talk to anyone that needs him.
He can spend hours talkin to neighbors here in Ontario, and in Donnelly. He volunteers to help on any project. He may forget to go, but he will be there with bells on if it is on his calendar.
Can I just tell you one and all, that I love this husband of mine. He makes my day. I love you Terry. May this year be as eventful, and exciting as last year. May we grow even closer in our old age, and may I always remember to tell you of the great love that I have for you. You are my best friend, and my lover. There is now other, and I know you are my eternal partner, now and forever. .....Love, Tree

Excitement today, all day long
So, today was very fun. Last night I went to Nampa and Meridain and picked up Kasen and Logan. Then today I called Krystal and asked if I could have Noah and Chloe. We had a very exciting day! First, all four took a bubble bath. Then they took a shower, then after dressing, and lotioned down they layed on TuTu and PaPa's bed and watched PBS. It was all so fun!
They all voted to have Mac and cheese for lunch. I made it my way. With rue. They also wanted hot dogs in it.
After lunch, right after lunch, they wanted a snack. The snack, I decided to make was Brownies. When the brownies were done, we all had brownies and ice cream. Yummy.
Krystal came to pick up the kids around four thirty. Before she came, the kids discovered what fun it is to throw dice on hard wood floors. I have a big old bag of colored dice. The kids emptied the whole bag on the floor, as soon as the noise started, they grabbed them up, and started throwing them across the room. Oh my, it made allot of noise, and was way fun. At first, I was annoyed, until I realized what they liked was the noise they were making. So, I just sat on the couch and watched. Kasen would throw a hand full and then turn to look at me, as if I were going to yell at him to stop. Cutie.
Krystal came, and she showed me how to put pictures up on facebook. I have no idea how to do it right this minute, She will have to show me how to do it again. It is a very good thing she is patient with me.
Ater Krystal left, Terry set the small sprinkler up in the front yard. The two boys had so much fun running and sitting on the sprinkler. I then put them to bed, in different rooms, and they were asleep with in ten minutes. They were very tired little ones. It was a full and happy day. I love being with my Grands and these were a different set of four in my house, and they were lots of fun.
Good night all......

a new day in the Mairs Home
So, we have been havin so much fun here at home. We had the boys here so Brandi and Russ could go on their honeymoon. Ginger came over to help, and she choose to bring three more children with her, plus her dog. So, she really had alot to look after. Poor Ginger. She is so cute. She always thinks of others, rather then herself. She ended up bringing Jesiah, Eric, and Taylor. Eric and Taylor are the children she use to live with. She misses them so much. So anyway. When she went home on Monday, she was exhausted. Totally wiped out. Loved the time with them. Ginger took care of everything. So, I didn't have to lift a finger.
Tonight, we had Jesiah, Noah, Alec, Logan, Chloe here for a short time. I love to have the kids here. They had dinner, then went outside to climb the tree and fight each other on the yard. We adults watched from the saftey of the patio chairs. Enjoyable night for one and all.

Blessing
Went to Mom and Dad's today. Dad has been having trouble with his kidneys. He has been very weak this last week. He is going to the doctor's this week hopefully. The oil was given by Terry and the blessing was given by Robert. They both did a wonderful job. They were so honored to give the blessing to their Father. Dad has been so healthy and strong for so long, it is really hard to see him struggle with strength due to his kidneys.
While we were there we also celebrated Daniel, Tyson, and Dougies birthdays. It was very nice. Eileen and Robert ordered pizza and cake, and it turned out very nice. Was a little surprised that Mom wasn't in the know about the party. Fun none the less. Was happy we happened to be there. It was just Terry and I and then the Robert Mairs family. Very nice day indeed.

waited to long for the cherries
I had cherries on Saturday, and Ket said they were perfect, and still hard. I got a pitter from Krystal, and intended to pit the cherries, and eat some, and whatever, with the rest. However, this morning, I went and got them, and put them in the sink, to start pitting. The cherries were all soft, and smelled like alcohol. I was very surprised they had gone bad so fast. So, no cherries for us. Sad, oh well......
Terry left for Parma to work today. He sure does enjoy his job. I am proud of him, I am always amazed with his determination. Love that man.
The boys are here now. They will be here till Tuesday. PaPa was so happy to see them last night. He hugged and kissed each of them, and told them that he missed them, and was happy they came for a visit. It was heartwarming to watch.
Krystal cut off my hair yesterday! I am so glad! No more fuzzy hair days. I hate my hair when it is fuzzy. Thank you Krystal for sharing your talents with me, at the last possible minute. I do that to Brandi also, and she always accommodates me also.

Dad Mairs
Yesturday around two, Terry got a call from his Mom. Mom was concerned about Dad's legs. Dad had lost the strength in his legs. He was havin trouble getting up, and in and out of the car. Terry and I went right over to be a support to Mom, and help with Dad. We went to the Draw Center with them, so Dad could have his blood drawn. We then went home with Mom and Dad. We were served a wonderful dinner, which Mom was preparing for herself and Dad. She is such a great cook. Was really nice to be with the both. Around eight-thirty, we went home. Terry called this morning to see how Dad was. He is feeling much better this morning. This is good. I was really concerned about Dad. Having lost my own Dad last year, it is very scary to think of Dad Mairs not feeling well. I love him so much.
I have sat here on the couch all morning playing with the computer. I have had water, and potatoe chips so far this morning. Terry just got home for lunch, and he is making me a hot dog for lunch. Such a sweet guy. Gotta love a husband that takes such good care of me. I'll keep him a few more years..HEHE
It is very very quiet around here without the kids and dogs. LOL I am so going to get used to this!!
Krystal and Robby and kids went to Roaring Springs today. I hope that they have a great time. I don't know what I will do with the rest of my day. I do know I need to iron Terry's shirts today. So, I will do that for sure. Man, this life with no kids is so relaxing.
