NEWSFLASH---Ben asks Colby Aland to Prom!

Ben made a Giant Cookie, and on it he wrote, “Prom?”. He then put it in a pizza box, and had mom deliver it to her at mutual on April fools day. Upon opening the box, she was so excited she gave mom a big hug. Later that night Colby came by with her dad in his police car! They pulled into our driveway with the lights flashing! Colby called Ben and asked him to go outside. As he came outside she said, “You’re not in trouble, but I will go to prom with you”.

New Grand-babies!

This has been an exciting month for us. We have 2 new grand-babies to brag about. Shelly had Summer Lynn on July 15th and Sara had Emily Morgan on the 20th. Barbara was able to be there for Summer's birth and stay with Shelly for a few days. Then, she was flown to Blanding to help Sara with her recovery. That weekend the rest of the family was able to come to Blanding as well for a quick visit.

Family trip to Sequoia National Park

These are pictures of our visit to Sequoia National Park on June 4. Donna (Barb's sister) and Kevin Stocks were visiting, so we all went together. We saw TWO bears after some rangers at the park said that the chances of seeing one were slim. The bears weren't afraid of us at all! The trees were bigger than any of us have ever seen. They're an awesome sight and worth coming to see, so stop by for a visit.
