I Love my Brothers!

I just returned from a week visit to Idaho to see my family. I have five brothers that have only been all together four times in the past 27 years - that is way too long to be apart from one another. It is always fun to get together and share stories of our past. The age span is twenty two years so there are many stories to share.



It was also nice to visit with our mom who turned 80 this year.





We also visited with dad who is recovering from a bad fall off a ladder last year. We are so thankful that we were all able to get together again.

Homecoming

It was bound to happen... Donothan and Hailey have been planning this year's dances even before the school year began. With the simple hope of Donothan asking her to the dance, Hailey was blown away when she came to find this little surprise waiting for her after many purposeful delays and thoughts of when he would invite her.




(Quote from Beauty and the Beast... And look, now Hailey has her own everlasting rose)







Signs leading from the front door to Hailey's bedroom told a story of homecoming, but not in the natural teenager perspective, instead it was through the eyes of a fairy-tale told long ago of a beauty and a beast that transformed into the Prince of Princess of each other's life.

T.G.I.F. Time

Lunchtime with dad is never a normal experience...



...But thanks for lunch, dad. We love you.

Idaho Here I Come

Okay so I must admit this has been a very busy year for me traveling to Idaho. When we were in Idaho in July I told everyone that I would not be back for at least a year as this was my 4th trip since January. Well I should have know better than to say that as I will be flying up there tomorrow afternoon to visit all my brothers! I am so excited to see them as it has been over five years since we were all together. For you that don't know I have five brothers from Indiana, Alaska and three in Idaho and then of course the Califonia girl. My brothers do not know I am coming so it will be a fun surprise for all of them. Also we will be spending time with my mom who just turned 80 in July.

Doug and the girls are staying home so hopefully the dog will get fed and not starve to death while I"m gone.

All the Newbry's do is eat out?

Just want you all to know that we actually ate at home this evening!  Have to admit eating out is so much better- no mess, good food and nice and relaxing!

Thanks for reading our Blog and keeping up with our family!

Benihana Night Out

Benihana



For more than 40 years Benihana has been cooking the freshest food in the most welcoming way. They refer to it as cooking for friends. A meal at Benihana is much more than a meal. It's an experience. An extraordinary experience at that the smile of the chefs, the sizzle of the grill, the aroma of the steaks, and, of course, the unmistakable taste of the teppanyaki cooking.
