THE GIRLS

Yellowstone Park

The Temple by the River

This weekend, I went to Idaho Falls to meet Rich, Jared, Emily and the girls. We had a fun time at the river, visiting cemetaries, drove thru Yellowstone and visiting family. We saw a wolf, a grizzly bear, and Old Faithful erupt. Steve and Pam got their mission call to South Africa, Durban! I love the falls and the "Temple by the River". It is always so beautiful! It's definately a favorite of mine.

Feeding the ducks

Baby Geese are called goslings!

It's always fun to walk to the pond to feed the ducks. There were baby ducks and geese.

Rusty's 25th!

Rusty is 25! When did that happen? Happy Birthday, Rusty!

Jared, Emily, Macy, Halle and Sami were here when we got home from Arizona - on Mother's Day! It was so great to come home to them! It was very fun to have them here, but I had to work a lot while they were here. We were doing 2 large orders for Bed Bath & Beyond and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Robert and Eric

I was home from Nevada and California for 3 days, when Kathy, David and I went to Arizona for Robert and Lynette's wedding. It was 99 degrees when we were there. Arizona is so beautiful. We had a great time together and enjoyed staying with Steve and Pam. It was fun to see Eric, Dustin, Ann, Scott and Amanda - and of course Robert and Lynette. Congratulations, you two!

I can't believe we're here!

Tyson's photo shoot!

On 28 April, Cassie, Kiera and I drove to Kendall and Ashley's. It was so good to see them. It's been 6 months! Ashley had a doctor appointment, so we met them at the hospital! We couldn't wait to see them! It didn't take long for Tyson to remember us. He is so cute and so much fun! Ashley and Cassie took some cute pics of Tyson. He's so grown up! The next day, we all went to San Diego. None of us had been there before, so we had a pretty great and wonderful time. We went to the Temple and the sunny beaches!

The Power of Faith

My son-in-law, Brandon, started a new blog that is really great. It is just quick, spiritual thoughts which goes really well with all my other blog readings. I get updates on the family, and I get a bit of spirituality too in Google Reader. I highly recommend it! Here's the address: http://thepoweroffaith.wordpress.com/

Two Weeks With Cassie and Kiera

Cassie, Brandon and Kiera

Riding the indoor ferris wheel

What's tickling your nose?

On April 22nd, I flew to Reno. Cassie and Kiera picked me up and we began a WONDERFUL time together! Brandon was quite busy with work and finishing up school for the semester, but we got to spend some great time with him! We went to the Legends Mall and Cassie and Brandon rode the indoor ferris wheel. I had so much fun with Kiera. I think she got to know me a little. She started mimmicking and had just started pulling herself up. We went downdown Carson City and did a photo shoot with her.

Spring at the Temple

When I went to the temple, Tuesday, I was amazed, awe-struck and overwhelmed with the beauty of the flowers there. It took my breath away. It's probably not like temple square, but I thought it was really beautiful! I absolutely love spring!

Idaho Falls

I got together with my sisters Arlene and Kathy for the weekend. Emily, Jared and the girls came, too because Jared had a football game at good old West Jefferson where I went to high school. I told him that's why they won! We went to the temple, got together with Steve, Pam and David and had a really good time with Macy, Halle and Sami. We missed Annette because she was sick.

Pine

We went to Pine for Easter weekend. I love it there! It's always so relaxing and fun to spend with the kids. It was snowing when I got there and snowed 10 inches. We were without power for 12 hours and managed to stay warm. It is so beautiful. The snow was falling off the trees and so pretty. Conference was fantastic!
