A wonderful week with the Lau's

The wonderful Lau family with the fabulous new pillows we made! Sorry husbands! My daughters take after me when it comes to pillows! They really make us happy!

I told the kids I'd let them buy something for a dollar at Joanns. I never knew a choice could be so hard! It took about a half an hour, about the same time it took us to pick out fabric! It was fun--whatever we did together was fun!

We had fun at the zoo! I can see why they get a season pass- it was fabulous!

Cool monkeys! (In the background!)

Sidecut park was so pretty. I wish I could walk there everyday -
with all of you!

The last day, we went to a beach! We were thrilled that it was so warm that day and had fun playing in the sand and water. Matthew got clear in because he wanted to try out a new life jacket!

Thanks for the wonderful time! I loved being there with you.

Happenings at the farm

Its always special to visit graves on Memorial Day. Grandma was sweet to provide all the flowers for us. She loved grandpa so much! Jenny and Nate were there just after this picture. We're glad to have Grandma here this summer.

I was amazed to see Brandon and Christopher killing birds with a BB gun and sling shot! They are getting pretty good!

Nolan saves the day!

"And he called his name Noah (Nolan) saying, this same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." Genesis 5:29

We were so thrilled, happy and amazed at all the work Nolan did for us at the river house. We were just about out of steam! He was so careful to get all the rocks in just the right place and worked so hard! We love the retaining walls so much and are thankful for all the other work he did too-- shaping the land, designing the sprinkler system, moving the cement edging etc. etc. It was fun to have Ashley and the kids to visit with every day too. I forgot to take a family picture! We had lots of fun sewing together and I loved playing with the kid. Thanks for everything!

Visit from the Lee's

It was wonderful to have Jenny, Nate and the kids here! They got here Friday in time to visit with Nolan and Ashley before they left. Sat. Dad and I went to a temple sealing so they went bowling and to a show with Darin and Tayna and the kids. When we were done at the temple we met everyone at the river house and had a fun evening. We cooked out and kayaked. The weather was even good which was great!! Sunday morning we floated ducks down the waterfall and played a game. They look great all dressed up for church.




Savannah and Heidi are great buddies. When Savannah has her bangs down they look so much alike!
