Gilgal Garden

There is a unique little park in Salt Lake called Gilgal Gardens.  It is a great place to visit and see how one sculptor shows his religion. Here are some pictures.

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

My Parents have been married for 40 years.  Their Anniversary was June 25, 2010.  They actually spent their anniversary at the hospital.  Thank you both for being an example of what a marriage should be. 

Blog giveaway at CSN stores online

There is a fun giveaway at my friends blog.  Go check it out.  http://preschoolsnacks.blogspot.com/2010/06/giveaway-from-csnstores.html

She is a preschool teacher and she has so many good ideas for snacks and also fun things for little ones to do.  Hope you enjoy it.

It's coming along!!

We have been redoing(is that a word?) our back yard with the help of my cousin Thad. He and my mother have a shared vision of what they want it to look like, and since my artistic side isn't showing, I am going with it. The family has been putting lots of hours into it. It has lots more to go, but here is a preview. The picture above is what it looked like 2 winters ago. No more big dead trees. 13 new fruit trees replaced them and pipe replaced the ditch except for the little stream area.  We have a small garden going back there in the midst of all the work.

Memorial Weekend 2010

Here are a few of the graves we went to visit this Memorial Day Weekend. We didn't get to visit all the family graves but to all of our loved ones here and in Heaven we want to say that "WE LOVE YOU!!" 

Easter--better late than never

We had an Easter Egg hunt with Thad's Family, Jared's Family and us. Here are a few pictures.

Carter's Baby Blessing

We had Carter's baby blessing a few weeks ago.  We weren't sure Papa would be able to make it out of bed to bless him but with the help of everyone, he made it. Back: Eldon, Micheal, Jared, Anthony Front: Papa and Carter

Baseball with the family

Our family has been playing softball with Chrisenda and her boyfriend Jeff, Jayla and Bailey and Gma and Jared. It has been loads of fun. I even got in there and pitched for a while. It might be a while before you see me running bases but that is my ultimate goal.

Badges and Scouts

Today was the Blue and Gold Banquet. Both Brandon and Chandler got badges. Brandon got his Cooking and First Aid Merit Badges.



Chandler got his Bobcat. There were some ROTC soldiers from BYU and Chandler and his friend Britian had thier picture taken with them. It was a wonderful night.
