Early Fathers Day for Von

Since we'll be in Hawaii Fathers Day, we celebrated for Von this weekend.
A gift from Sheila, her girls and me.
Grandpa and some grandkids...Kristin, Halie, Alexis, Camron and Tyler

Von and his girls, Rosie and Sheila. We met for turkey dinner, a game of Five Crowns, and banana cream pie (a favorite of Von's) at Rosie's after church.

Tyler with new glasses. He had to wait the longest, and his eyes were the worst!

Three smarter grandkids, all enjoying being able to SEE!

Memorial Day

Von and his sisters, Loralee and Nan, at their parent's grave; Odeen and Alice May Buxton.
Alexis, Sheila, Halie, Heber, Loralee, Nan, Von

Halie helping put flowers at Odeen's 3 sisters' grave...ages 14, 4, and infant.


Still some tender feelings for a couple of great parents.

Sheila has another birthday


Our baby girl turned 29 on May 28. She's hoed a rough road the last several years, but can still smile and count her blessings.


About 2. The baby girl with lots of hair, and a lot of love.

At Leatherby's for supper...naturally.

The rest of the clan. Kristin's new glasses!



Murray Park playground. We haven't been here in years, and there have been many changes.


Kinda miss the ole version.





Backyard barbecue with the former neighbors, Stobbe's and Adcox's.






It's official. She's older, and we still love her!

Temple Square in May

After a long winter, we decided to break out of the house and head downtown to see the flowers on Temple Square for Family Home Evening. Afterall, it was the hottest day of the year, at 82!
Finally! And they still haven't finished planting!! Enjoy the colorfest.











Halie is just taller than these tulips!




I hadn't seen this color before.






Look at these dark tulips.























The calm before the fountain...













This was a favorite combination for me. Notice the striped tulips in front.





















This is also a new color combo I haven't seen before; pink and orange.



A few close-ups






They just go on and on!


Another try at a close-up.





This close-up turned out great!




Von loved these.
A fun and colorful evening.
