I need a new DO!
I have really been wanting a new look, but being a chicken of change I have a hard time deciding the kind of look I want. So I looked around for new hairdo's and thought the best way to decide is try my "face" on different do's. Tell me what you think? 50's, 60's, 80's or 90's?

The Annual Lloyd Painter Reunion
Labor Day Weekend was the Annual Lloyd Painter Reunion.
We had alot of fun even though the weather didnt permit us to stay outside the entire time. We ate and ate and ate, we wore Doo-rags as a tribute to Kim for her courageous battle. She is amazing to me.
We went on a treasure hunt, we stayed up way to late and really enjoyed everyones company. I hope that more family can come next year. Make sure and plan ahead so that you can make it up next year.
Here are a few pictures. Lily even turned into a biker chick and as you can see by her face she thought it was awesome.

She also learned how to suck spaghetti in her mouth I'll have to have Natalie send me the video.
We had a ball! Thanks mom for letting us ransack your house for a weekend. Its memories like this weekend that live forever.

Well the summer ended good for Grandma Chris. All 5 1/2 grandkids came to stay with us for a day or two and I loved having them. We went to movies, out to dinner, played with Grandma's new swimming pool, played with toys, just relaxed, hid in the trunk of the car and just plan had alot of fun. Thank you to my Grandkids for coming and staying with me. I love you so much

We need to decorate my new office!
Well it finally happened, I got to move offices and after getting situated I noticed that Grandma Chris or Aunt Chris (depends on who you are) needs to have some help decorating her office. I have one big wall that is a magnetic white board that has several magnets to hold pictures to it. So this is my plan.
I want all my grandkids and my neices and nephews to draw or make me as many pictures as they want so that I can hang them on my wall in my new office. I even want to make it a contest and I'll be awarding several different prizes, such as most original, prettiest, and etc.
Please send them to my new work address at the University of Utah.

I'll run the contest until the end of July.. so hurry and send them to me.

Sin City Got the BEST OF US!
Let me just start by saying there are mother and daughter rules that go with out even saying them. These are just a few I wish to mention.
1. When your daughter is pregnant she is to tell her mother as soon as she tells her husband, mom needs to know so that she can brag and boast and be all excited with her.
2. You do not get tattoos for any reason when your mom is in the same room.
3. You are not to be back seat drivers when mom is driving a 7 passenger van.
4. You dont make your mother buy a swimming suit so she doesnt scare other guests at the pool.
These are just 4 that I mention because they were all broken by my daughters and my daugther in law.
1st rule is broken by my oldest daugther Andrea. 5 1/2 months pregnant and I FIND OUT? whats wrong with that picture. I dont think she will ever live this down. I am wounded beyond repair :)
2nd rule broken BY ALL OF THEM, all 5 of them got tattoos and all i could do is pace around the tattoo shop looking at obscene lighters. (huh linds )
3rd rule broken BY ALL OF THEM AGAIN (I have to correct myself Mallory was a good backseat person and didnt tell me what to do ) :) I dont know if they are serious or not but I think they have plans to take my license away within a year or two based on their input of my driving skills, I actually thought i did exceptionally well.
4th rule broken! I now have a swim suit and a swim suit cover that will probably never get worn again, unless of course they cohert me into getting close to a pool again.
IN all seriousness I had a great time. We had alot of fun walking down the strip and seeing the night life of Vegas. Hanging out by the pool all day was one of the funnest for me even though I did buy a suit. We all enjoyed going the Medieval Knight dinner and show. I think Jen and Linds have a new love named "Chris the Robot" he was so fun to watch and he got Linds pretty good. I could have watched him for a long time. We walked and walked and walked and shopped and shopped some more. I fixed breakfast for them Sunday morning and I think everyone liked it.
To my "daughters" thank you for going with me and making it so much fun. I truly do have issues with everyone being all grown now and one thing that keeps me going is knowing that there are alot more times like our Vegas weekend in the future.
Thanks again for going girls.. I love you all so much and I definitely had a great time with all of you.

She DID IT!!
Well I just have to say, "Way to go Nat". I am so proud of her determination and desire to graduate. I know it was alot of work there at the end and some concern on her part and mine. She called me last week crying and saying "I made it mom". Talk about a tender moment, I think we both were crying when we finally hung up.
I wish her all the best in what lies ahead of her. I hope she will take the opportunity to accomplish more great things, and that she'll go out and experience college, and working, traveling and taking some time for her to spread her wings and grow.

I love you with all my heart and I will definitely miss her. It seems the birds have all spread their wings. :(
IS THERE A SUPPORT GROUP FOR THESE FEELINGS?
Again way to go NAT! I LOVE YOU
