Teacher Heather and Pam


Pam and Heather celebrate the same birth date August 12. They celebrated at the Silverton Hotel/Casino. They invited us to come down one day. We swam, ate, played Hand and Foot and Five Crowns. It was fun. Both Pam and Heather started school the day before their birthday so this was their last Hurrah!!!!


David was acting silly.

Birthday Party for Pam and Net

Why can't we just have the party in the car?

They finally agreed to go to Net's house and look, they seem happy with their cards. :)

Annette modeling her gifts. Where are Pam's gifts? Someone didn't take pictures, I wonder who that was. Sorry Pam, I didn't mean to leave you out. :( Yours were great, a swim cover up for Hawaii, a new blouse and two nice shirts. Annette will return the one blouse and Pearl and Pam will return the black dress that didn't fit any of us. I guess you just need to try on to see the perfect fit.




Jonah and Eliza were having fun taking a few photos of us when we were leaving. The sprinklers came on and we all ran for our lives.



Jane wanted to give Pam a late birthday and Annette a early party so we planned it and were a little late picking up Pam and rushed to Cedar to see Julia Roberts in "Eat, Pray Love." It didn't get a high rating from Jane and I but the company was great. After the movie we ate at the Panda Express. We sat on the high stools, Pam and I made it without any problems and that was exciting for us. The food was very good and then we went to Annette's for the party. Pam and Annette just couldn't understand why we were acting like we were but I think they were very pleased and happy with their gifts.

Hiking in Zions


Danny and Randy are having fun waiting for Jason and his party. Randy turned 55 and was able to meet Jason, his brother and hike in Zions. They invited Danny to go with them as well as Leslie, Jason's wife, their son and friends of Jason 's. It sounded like they had a lot of fun and we are anxious to see their blogs. We saw a preview last night after they went into our spa and worked out their sore muscles. Randy was glad he went in and soaked. He said he was able to walk much better after.
son, wife, Leslie and their son who is entering the MTC Wednesday to go on a mission. He'll serve in Bolivia . Randy, Danny and John left our house around 5:00 a.m. and met Jason and his party at Smith's Grocery store. John took a few pictures and then the party left and our car decided not to start. John had left his phone home and they let him use theirs. He got hold of our roadside assistant and they rescued him. Lucky for us it was only the battery. He got it fixed and went to the office and we traded cars after we had done our errands. We never have enough time but it was great while it lasted.

Enterprise Corn Festival

Saturday August 28, 2010. John and I finally made it to the Corn Festival in Enterprise. It was their 20 annual event. We had a fun time, we met Annette, Danny and Eliza at noon. We had lunch at the Senior Center and walked around and saw two of John's softball players and their wives. Al and Sheila Taylor and Gerald and Karen Hazel. We also saw Ted Weight and his wife Jolene. They come every year and learned that if you don't buy your cinnamon rolls and scones early you miss out. There was also fresh veggies to buy and fresh fruit. It was fun but the wind blew and we didn't stay for the Dutch Oven Cookout, hope to do that next year.
We came home and got ready for Jane and Randy to come for their short stay here. Randy turned 55 and wanted to hike in Zions with his brother + his wife Leslie, and son .He enters the MTC Wednesday so this was their last fun outing . They invited Danny to go as well as other friends. I'm sure they will be a blog out soon. They had fun but it isn't for me or Jane. We had our own fun with Annette and Pamela.


There were 93 participants this year. One car got as far as main street caught fire and burned up. Really sad for the owner, that would of made the # of entrants 94. Maybe next year. Here is a view of one lane of cars and me next to a Chev('37), we tried to find a 53, but there was only 55. I had a 53 Chev when we got married. It was a good little car, I had it most of the time John was on his mission.


We took this license plate for Garrett. It is his initials, I thought it was COOL, just like Garrett.

This 12 foot albino python named Katie was a hit with most of the crowd including Eliza and Danny. It was interesting to look at but there was no way I was going to have that around my neck. He likes to eat rabbits said Nathan Hanks, his owner.

The wind blew so hard some of the tops blew off the displays. Danny was a big help to this display. He was able to help take it down without it being torn. Your a good helper Danny and your height was needed and appreciated .

Swans Gone :(



Our baby swans were born while we were on vacation. They are so cute. Here are 3 different stage of their growth. Mama swan keeps close to the babies and the dad is very protective and makes you step back a few steps. I'm glad most of our grandchildren and great children got to see them. I'll miss them traveling around the lake.
Our swans have traveled to the Washington County Fair . They are on display at the petting zoo. Shelli and her family saw them. She thought they were geese. They are in the "Ugly Duckling Stage" but I'm sure when they are moved to their new home they will be as beautiful as their parents.

St. George Rainbow 08-080-10


St George UT had a down fall Saturday August 7 2010.
This photograph was taken from Airport Road above the intersection of 400 South and Bluff Street. We saw some of it when we visited Pam and David but not the whole thing. It was so beautiful. We were also without power for a few hours. I'm glad I was finally able to find it and put it on my blog.

Bryson 8-1-2010

Bryson came into the house at 8:45 a.m. with his chocolate doughnut, he ended sharing with his mom and dad.

He loves Popsicles


Bryson loves his little binoculars.

He is checking out the swans. They are not as cute as they use to be. They are trying to get feathers and be pretty like their parents but it hasn't happened yet.


He is trying to be so brave.


Not that brave!!!!

Melissa is looking at the swans too.

Bryson and Melissa talked Grandpa John

WOW !!!! This pool is different from Grandma Jane's. It is fun.


I'm glad mama is here to help me swim in this big pool.

Look at me go!!!!
