July 4th at Roxane's

We had a marvelous July 4th this year at Roxane's house.  Lots of yummy food, great company and conversation, and even photo props.

It was so nice to relax and just visit for the evening.  Julie and Kevin made it up before heading to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Kevin looked great!  They gave us all of the updated information on Kevin's cancer, multiple myeloma.  It is hard to know that he has a very long, painful road ahead of him.  But is was so great to share fun times with them.

JoCee spent quite some time creating these wonderful photo props.  We had a blast posing with them!

 We had such a fun, relaxing day!  And since we had the perfect spot, we stayed late and watched the fireworks from the back porch.  It was amazing!  We could see the fireworks from all over the valley - there must have been hundreds of fireworks going off, and we had a great view of them all!


Thanks to my wonderful family for a fantastic day!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile.

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Image
Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
