Well, Summer is almost over and it feels like it just bagan. It has been an interesting summer. We haven't done a ton of stuff with the family but we did have a family swim party at the club house where Rodney and Lyn live. It was fun!!

As usual the grandkids had a blast with grandpa. They love him so much!!

I was able to take Carolyn's kids to the zoo. We had a great time. They enjoyed getting their picture taken with the Bald Eagle. I took Kamden and Merric on a different day but I forgot my camera. Sorry Guys!!

Tom and I have spent a lot of time in St. George getting the house ready for mom and dad this winter. Tom finished painting in at the seams because I am not very good at it. When he got done it looked great!!

He also finished mudding the kitchen and dining room walls.................
When he was done mudding the walls, I taped everything off and sprayed texture over all the repaired areas......................................Then I painted and even did the cutting in at the edges. It turned out ok................

Tom got the dining room floors done and

then he spent a while getting a new garage door opener installed. The old garage door made it a little harder then he would have liked but at last it was working.

We decided to take a day off from working and we rode our Harleys down to the North end of the Grand Canyon. What a beautiful ride it was!!! We enjoyed hiking and seeing the beautiful landscape. The fire behind us in this picture was one of those controlled fires. I think it was only controlled when they lit it because soon it was out of control and the roads were closed and there was much smoke!!

We had lunch in the Lodge on the North Rim. It was good and had a beautiful view!!!

It was a beautiful day................................

Before we went to St. George we went to Vernal and participated in the Blessing of Annabelle. She is her fathers child in looks but boy oh boy she is such a mellow and quiet little girl.

Her sister Bianca looks more like her mother but acts more like her father. Lots of energy and has a loud voice......................

Rodney and Laralyn had beautiful Kaylee on the 18th of June. She is so beautiful with all this long dark hair and her dark eyebrows. She is so sweet. She is now 2 months old and she is so full of smiles and she is making those wonderful baby sounds as she discovers her own voice. I love that stage!!!
