Are You Kidding Me????????

It's the 27th of May.........

Mother Nature - this is not nice!!!!!

 No grapes this year.....

 Potatoes.....squash....pumpkins....lavender....roses....chamomile...

And what is this?   Tromped through the garden and we quess up the driveway.

Uncle Allen and Grandpa checking things out.  Uncle Roy came over and he said it was a mountain lion track - and a big one, too.

Never a dull moment on the farm.....

Ella is so excited - here she is marching in for her "kindergarten celebration".

So much fun, I can hardly stand it!  Two darling little grand-daughters graduate from Kindergarten.  

 Michon and Tonya and Natalie had a lovely dinner for the girls after....we love to twirl...

 Talya is pretty serious about her school work - special award for learning all 70 phono-grams....

 being silly....a worthy profession, I think....

Such a beautiful Temple.....

 After we attended the Temple we went for a little ride through town..and I do mean town...right in the middle.

 Grandpa swimming with the Grands at the motel pool...they had a blast.

 Carrie finished the Zion's Ogden Marathon - she ran the 13.1 mile race - in 2 hours 19 minutes---a very strong finish for her first race.  Here she is with Melanie, her friend and next door neighbor and running enthusiast.  The course was through a beautiful canyon area - Carrie said it really didn't seem like it took 2 hours - it was so pretty.

 Reese with her medal from the dance recital...such a pretty princess.

It was still daylight after dinner and everyone was tired so we took the scenic route back to the motel and drove by the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.  

 P.S. (It's huge...)

 These little guys seem to have taken up residence in some of the beautiful gardens around the Temple..

I am one blessed mother and grandmother....thank you all for your cards!!!

 The first rose of summer...

 The iris blooms are beautiful and they smell sooooooo good!!

 first strawberries...we picked a pretty good handful this morning.

 Lime thyme....

 Lemon chives....

 "the Uncle Terry roses" - just covered with blooms this year...

 little apples

 little peaches.....

 The tree we transplanted from Michon's home....It's like the one down by the creek across from Brown's garden....has huge white blooms in the spring.

 Naia, Ella and Jade---so fun to have them come for the weekend!!!  They rode the wheelers to see all the babies--chicks, kittens, goats, lambs, colts - got a fair amount of sun....

What a fun weekend we've had with these little gals and their parents.  

Ellie and Haylee having Mary Sue's Lasagna Soup for a picnic lunch.  

 Ellie took this picture (along with a few more) of the sunset..  Good job, Sis!!

 You'd think we had been eating home-made ice cream and were freezing......
Grandpa w/ Haylee, Aunt Lorraine, Grandma, Auntie and Uncle Jared's foot.

 Aunt Nat...

 Aunt Ann's new little darling....He is so cute and very soft.

 and, what are these little dolls looking at?

 The new baby chicks....Aunt Ann and Uncle Allen got a phone call yesterday morning at 6:00 A.M. from the Show Low Post Office telling them that their order was there---could they please come and pick it up....AAAHHHHH  fresh eggs come early fall!!!

 Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle.  
The cow jumped over the moon. 
 The little dog laughed to see such sport and,
 the dish ran away with the spoon.  

The "Super Moon" over Shumway!!
