Your Table Is Ready!

Lincoln has a promising future as a waiter. The family prepared a special dinner and was waiting for Dad to come home! It was a great occasion!

one spring day at a time

You know how it is in March and April...one day you feel the hope of spring, the next day you are drawn back in to winter. I remember one reading day at BYU in April, laying out on our front lawn studying and getting sunburned. The next day it snowed and I had to walk around in warm clothes (lots of layers) with sunburned legs. Not fun. Well, nothing too crazy here, but we are taking advantage of the warm days we have until the rainy cold ones come right back. Bring on the month of May where the weather isn't so confusing.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. All the rest of you in the family have little kids to show photos of as they change from day to day, but grandma and I never seem to change as far as our appearance so we won't send you pictures of ourselves. We can send pictures of the potatoes from our garden in a few months or sunshiny days which will soon be coming. For right now here are two photos of the progress on the Old City Hall. A few days ago I installed the first frame of 22 windows which we hope to have done in a few months.

Happy Easter

Hello Family! I was just outside noticing the beautiful daffodils that are popping up everywhere lately and it just reminded me of how much my Heavenly Father loves me and shows it to me by the beauties of the earth. I hope everyone is having a great Easter and I love you so much!

Our Old Houses

Julie, Brent and Devin came to visit us on Easter Sunday. They took a tour of our old neighborhoods and found some of the houses that we have lived in had changed-a lot! Here are some pictures of the house on 2475 East (we lived there in the early 60's) and the house on 3020 South (we lived there in the late 50's-early 60's).

A Shower?

I remember when I was little and mom had been invited to a baby shower. She was just leaving the house with her present when I noticed that she had forgotten her shower cap. So, being the helpful little daughter, I ran and got it for her. No one had bothered to tell me that they didn't take showers at a baby shower!

Last Saturday we had a fun time at a baby shower for Carolynn. We had a small brunch and opened presents and played silly games. (Name the candy bar) But the most fun was just being together. We love our family and wish that everyone could have been there! For those of you who haven't met Alyson yet (Kendall's fiancee), she's sitting next to Carolynn in some of the pictures on the slide show. We are so happy she is joining our family.

Deer Dad

Dad sent me some pictures he took last Saturday morning as deer wandered into his yard-acting like they owned the place. At first I wondered if they were decorations left over from Christmas but no, they are real. Just so they stay off the highway!

Engaged!!!!

Last week Leslie and her boyfriend, Jason went on a cruise with all of their friends. While in Jamaca they hiked up Dunn's River Falls. At the falls, Jason pulled out a ring and proposed to Leslie. Boy was she ever surprised! We are so excited. No date has been set, but they are looking at sometime this July. Congratulations Leslie & Jason!!!
