Memorial Day '08

Clean~ or~ Blog? Clean or Blog? clean or blog. Not a tough choice.

Preschool is out, but my boys are still in school for the rest of this week. So, I'm home alone. Ahhhhhhhh. No, I'm not staying home to clean. It will be... blog, read, shop, and then home.
Any who,
Memorial Day. Yet again, no camera. Didn't even think to bring the #**% camera along.
Yes, input a word from the bible. We went to the Benjamin Cemetery and watched the 2 minute program and had a good visit with old friends and neighbors. Stopped at Great grma and grnpa Stewart's grave sight. Went to the Spanish Fork Cemetery, hit the Francis side. Then we went to the Springville Evergreen Cemetery to pay our respects to DJ's Dad's grave. We stayed for the 45 minute program that was very well done. Had more friends and neighbors to visit with. Walked around and talked about different people in that cemetery. The boys went to the car and Sam and I relaxed and enjoyed the spirit that was there. There is something about honoring the military that just feels right. No, I won't be voting for Obama. We came home and had a nice day with just our family. A couple card games, yard work, and great FHE night. And for us, that's saying something.

Ward 50's Sock Hop

Gmail - P5170055.jpg
Our Ward had a 50's Sock Hop and since I believe that you can never have enough blue eye shadow, I was all over it!!! Ben had the cig's in his sleeve, Sam had his pants rolled up one, well, I guess all the boys did. With white socks and black shoes of coarse. I had my Rock-n-Roll Poodle skirt on and we danced the night away. They had a bubble gum blowing contest etc. that not one of us won:)

Spring has sprung, no really this time!

Sam is putting in a garden for us and has planted peas etc. but in order to do that he had to build a retaining wall. These little projects always look good on paper....

needless to say, the boys weren't much help

Happy Happy Birthday Grandma Dear

Happy Birthday to Grandma Stewart!
She'll be 85 tomorrow, May 5,
(happy Anniv. Emily) and we got together at Slade & Sally's and had a fabulous evening. The kids had plenty of room to run and play, and the adults had plenty of food and good company. Beautiful weather and we had ourselves a party!!
Alexandra, Audra, and Nicholette
As we arrived at the Party and got settled...
I did capture Slade taking all kinds of pictures as
evidence that Sally does have something to blog on:)
Audra in blueish green, Ana at her feet, Ben behind Rebeka (stripey shirt) DJ in the hoodie with black sleeves, and Jackson (with no head) between Rebeka ans DJ













Garrett was helping Grandma blow out her candles. Jackson wanted a chance to . Yes, it's not a girl with short hair, it's Jackson in the top left corner of this picture with way long hair! Sariah and her latest beau in the back ground. Who let the only person with the oxygen get right close to the candles to blow them out?!???!!! Opps!
Go Grandma! Go Grandma! It's your birthday!!






(L-R) Sally, Ruth, Allyssa, Nichollette, Alexnadra, Audra
