Lehi Parade

We had fun at the Lehi Parade and Lisa and I finally got all our grandkids together.
Mayzie, Myles and Gage had a great time too!











Here is grandma in her greatest past time, holding a grandbaby.













We may be a little weird, but we were more interested in the float driver and pretty spotter than in the pretty girls in front.

Monday, July 6 at 6 PM

Well everyone, we have tickets for a show at THE PLAYMILL THEATRE (Where I spent three summers of my life...) for the Monday night of our trip to the cabin! The theatre is in West Yellowstone (about 20 minutes further from where you used to go at Macks Inn) and it's a great little place for family fun! There's a little variety show before it starts, and during intermission all the concessions come to YOU. Bring money for the amazing fudge! :-)

4th of July Picnic

Clyde & Janice have invited our entire family to their annual 4th of July picnic, held in their back yard, 4:00 p.m. They would appreciate knowing about how many will be able to attend. You may RSVP to me or Janice. I love this holiday! Fun!
Love - Grandma

SUNDAY MENU

This Sunday (6-21-09) we're having soup in bread bowls. Karlene's recipe for Creamy Potato Soup and Lisa's Taco Soup. Birthday cake chosen by Kristy this time will be Angel Food Cake, Cream & Strawberries. Yum. Hope everyone will be able to make it.
Love Grandma

Our Float won "Best of Theme"

PICTURES

I love all of the pictures that have been added to this blog. I think I am especially "fetching" in the cemetery one (taken just before I was abandoned there).
Love - Grandma

P.S. When Chuck heard the story about me being left at the cemetery he said, "Grandma, you're only suppose to be left at the cemetery once."

SEGO LILIES

Yeah, our Sego Lilies are out!!! Numerous ones are in bloom. Just noticed them today. Hope everyone will take a walk in the back yard and enjoy seeing our State Flower. Joy!

Father's Day is coming up soon and Grant has requested "no gifts please". Praise, yes. Presents, no. Homemade cards are WONDERFUL!

Well, I have found one thing that is much harder to do than to break a bad habit. That's trying to create a good habit especially if it involves breaking an old habit to create the new one.

Sometime ago I suggested that we all work towards forming the habit of checking behind our cars before moving them. It is hard to remember to do this. What I've had to do is put a magnet on my car, just above the door handle to remind me. I see the magnet then check the back of the car. It only takes seconds.

I was happy to hear that Travis and Kristy have started doing this. Also they said that missionaries are instructed to do something similar. One missionary stands behind and at the side as the other missionary backs up the car. Great idea. This can't help but save lives and unimaginable heartache.

Primary Children's Hospital has been alerting the public with the slogan "Spot The Tot" (check the back of your car before moving it). Hope we all try to make this a habit. You will never regret it.

Now on to YELLOWSTONE. We will only meet together two more Sunday's before our trip. We won't be getting together on Sunday, July 5th (our regularly scheduled family dinner), because it's the day before we leave. We'll make plans this Sunday p.m.

Love – Grandma & Grandpa

P.S. Karlene I would love it if you can find a picture of a Sego Lilly. Love the pictures you've added, Thanks!

Summer is here!

Brinley is now in Young Women and loves it! She's officially in Jr. High now! It's kinda weird that I won't be helping at the elementary school anymore. (sigh) Baylee is at EFY this week and is having a blast! woot! Trek's Lone Peak sophmore soccer team went to the championship undefeated, but lost last night. Trek played awesome though! It was probably his best all season! We're really proud of him! Way to go big T!! Whitney is in full swing at the school everyday this week planning with the other SBOs. She's having a lot of fun already! Whitney and Trek are earning some money doing yards. It's hard work. We're excited for all the family fun planned for the summer with the cousins! We love you all!
P.S. I can't believe I forgot to mention this!! Whitney and I ran/walked (she ran, I walked) the Syracuse 5K on Memorial Day! Here's proof! And no, Whitney did not come in behind me, they finished long before Kayla and me, then ran to the finish line with us. It was fun!
