Grandbaby #20

The Word is out...baby #7 will be here around Thanksgiving. It is a girl!

Happy Pioneer Day!

This is a dress that was given to me from a client before I stopped working. It's all handmade and kinda looks like something I would have worn in 1985 but I just love it! Matt and I call it her picnic dress and what better day to wear it than on Pioneer Day!

My Time to Shine

Saturday was the big debut of Les's dance classes. They put on a show at one of the local amusement parks- Heritage Square. Out of the eighty kids enrolled only a few were missing, so it was quite the sea of blue t-shirts. The kids performed for parents and park onlookers and did a great job. Everyone seemed to have a fun time.

Vacation Update

This is what a buffalo looks like out of the drivers window (it was down) at a distance of 24 inches. I had the buffalo on one side and Mom yelling at me to roll the window up on the othere side.

Just a little update. We visited Virginia City Montana and toured an old gold mining ghost town, stayed overnight in West Yellowstone and then entered the park early the next morning. We drove straight to the north east corner to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We saw the canyon and falls from about 4 different view points. It was awesome. Then we drove on up further into the corner and saw our one and only bear. We then drove down to Yellowstone Lake and out the east entrance. We saw lots of buffalo, including the one pictured above. We drove to Cody and saw a gunfight in the streets that night. The next day we went to the museum, took a tour on a trolley, and visited the first LDS church in Cody to see the mural on the ceiling. We stayed in Casper and then came on to Denver on Friday. Yesterday we saw Leslie's group do their first performance at Heritage Square. They did great. Then we drove to Littleton and watched Trent play a baseball game. After that we went to Erik and Jamie's to visit. We saw Shawn for a few minutes. Today was church and this afternoon is naps. Tonight we are all getting together here to watch pictures on the back wall of the house from Brant and Leslie's vacation, Kevin and Lisa's vacation and ours. Sorry, no Carmel

corn, just four layer dessert. It was 102 degrees the day we got here and yesterday it was 101. Today it is a little cooler. Hope you are all well and happy.
