Silly Cousins!!

 Many hands make light work!!  Helping Grandpa plant a patty pan squash plant that looked so lonely at Basha's that Grandma brought it home...

 The yard has really blossomed....

 When we got back from the Disneyland trip we couldn't believe how things had bloomed....

 Yummy fresh spinach....

 Since this photo was taken..the. tomato plants have at least doubled if not more...

 And then, all of a sudden it was time for the reunion.  Grandpa and Uncle Allen at the "pit"..getting the beef and elk meat in the dutch ovens...

 Remember this old Primary Song Book....

 Nat needed a new lap throw...Ellie getting a lesson from her mom - and she did pretty good at tying those knots!!

 Hummmm....something old has become new again.  Remember these?

 Had to drag out the old record player to find a cassette tape player that worked.

 These stories have been played for hours with the Grands mothers and now they are getting another run through with their children.  Kinda funnnn....yyyyy....

 Going for a little ride...

 Hey, Becka---this ones for you!!!

 Tucker spoke in Sacrament Meeting...and after Ty and Tonya had a lovely luncheon at their home.  I was putting my purse in the boys room and I noticed this picture above Tucker's bed.  A painting of all the past Prophets gathered together in the Temple...such a sweet sentiment about who our heros can be.

 Tucker with Brother "Airdale"...

 Tyanne with the little baby of a family in their Ward who have recently joined the Church.

 Tarrik with Aunt Nat...

 Tucker and his friend, Ryland.

 Grandma's sweetheart!!

 Tucker with little Chy...who was baptized on Saturday...what a blessing she is in all of our lives.  Chy's mom told us an interesting story about Chy's baptism in the Baptist church about 4 years ago.  Chy is frightened of water and it was quite a tough thing for her at the time.  But, this time she was very relaxed and actually took Carson by surprise because it was so easy to immerse her in the water.  They said it was like Stake Conference for her special meeting.  Chy's parents have been so great to make sure she can go to all the special events the boys have had lately...Eagle Courts of Honor, Opening Mission Calls, Farewells, Settings Apart, everything.   (I'll be praying that they will soon join their daughter and become members of the Church..they are a sweet family!)

 It all starts again tomorrow-----get ready!!!
