I love to play in the dirt!

Here are a few pics of my flowers in
the front and back yards.

I love weekends when Paul is home

So Paul has been able to come home 2 weekends

in a row.

June 5 he came

in to help

get his dad ready

for the BIG Birthday Picnic.

Paul gave his dad

a shave, ear and nose hair trim,

finger and toe nail cutting

and bought him

some shave cream.

Friday, June 6

we went down to the Manti Utah

Temple of the

Church of Latter Day Saints.

Eric and Jackie

took out their endowments.

It was nice to have lunch with

Jackie's parent's, Marilyn and Rob Springgay,

Jackie and Eric,

Linda and Brett,

and

Marilyn's mom and sister.

Then off to the Temple.

Manti is truly

the most beautiful

Temple I have been in.

Saturday, June 7

was the big

85th Birthday Picnic for Vernon.

We had it in a nice park in South Salt Lake.

Lots of cousins along with Vernon's kids and

grandkids helped to make it a fun picnic

This past weekend, Paul came home on Friday

morning. We went to talk to the

financial guy, bottom line,

Paul has to work for 4 more years.

Yikes! Can I make it???

We hung out, watched a few movies,

cleaned the pool,

went swimming.

Becca and the kids came over Saturday evening

The kids had a good time in the pool. The water was warm;

thanks to the heater.

Sunday was church,

lots of Father's Day phone calls,

Thanks to our 7 kids for remembering

their dear old Dad!

Thank you, Paulie!

So you know how I love
to entertain and have
LOTS
of family and friends over.
And you may know that my
dear husband,
does not always
share that same sentiment.
Even though the weather
report was for rain
all day on Monday,
Paul spent the whole
day on Saturday getting the pool
ready.
It did rain all day on Monday,
we did have a soggy picnic,
Paulie did cook the burgers & dogs
and
Ethan did go swimming
Thanks for a great day!!!

Addie's new sneakers!

Check out Addie's new checkered sneakers!
She is the cat's meow!

First one in the pool !

It was a great day for ducks!!!
Rain on and off all day on my Memorial Day picnic!
But Ethan and Kade wanted
to be the first in the pool for the year.

Ethan was very brave.
Paul told him the water was 78 degrees;
oops, I think he was about
10 degrees too high!

Different kind of weekend

Paul and I

are having a very

different weekend

than the last 2.

Today we opened

the pool! It is looking pretty

good now.

I am ever the optimist,

still hoping the weather

will cooperate

on Memorial Day

for our picnic.

Pictures of follow!

Hurray for KSL.com

So I listed our downstairs apartment on KSL.com on Thursday night.

Within 1/2 hour I had our first phone call.

We showed the apartment three times on

Friday

and

twice today.

Hopefully we

will be able

to have renters

as nice as

Zach, Lexie &

Issac.

Keep you posted!
