Grandma's Attic

Mark's daughter Brooke  and hubby Len had a girl,  9 lb.  named Shylee Kay.  This makes # 5 for them.  Cute kids all the way around.  They'll be here in a week or two.

This has been an exciting time for the Fullers.  Karen's son, Joseph and wife Meagan had a 9.3 boy,  named Rowen Bradley Hill  in Idaho Falls . She had  a long delivery and the baby had some problems,  so kept in the NICU for several days.   He came home today,  and I'm anxious to go see him.

well,  I posted the photos but couldn't get the writing to go in the right place.  so here goes. 

to celebrate being 80 I got my hair cut.  Feels good for a change,  and not so grey

Next photo is of Scott and Traci and Enoch and Natalie at Jackson's wedding.

Then comes a photo of David,  as he just finished the siding on the new shop.   It's looking great,  now done on the outside.  and ready for winter. 

A good shot of Dee at our front door,  beside the new railings which save our lives every time we step out the door.  Getting  shakier and slower by the minute.

Then Beth and Jeff and cute little Weston,  Jeff's youngest of three.  Beth's a fun grandma,  she waited a long time to get there.

        this is my sister Beth and son Jeff and their youngest,  Weston

Jackson and Chelsea's wedding was wonderful, with a great day at the temple in Idaho Falls.  A reception that night at the home of her parents was lovely.
This photo is of all of Mark and Jackie's grand-kids.  Plus Brooke is expecting another baby in October.  So they are off to a good start.

 This deciding what color to choose takes concentration  for Dreyken
 Where they ended up,  in Grandpa's front yard .   Interesting collection
What a nice memory .   rocks (and families) last forever

Congratulations  to grand-daughter Kelsey Rudd Sibbert  on graduation from BYU-I  nursing program .  Sick people are   going to love having her tend them.  No one will want to get well.   We love you,  Kelsey

I did another dumb thing a few days ago.  we had grilled meat which was tough,  so I cut it up and put it in a pan with water to cook.  Dee called me in to lie down with him on the bed,  and I fell asleep.  soon Dee was us saying "I smell smoke" and the house smelled awful. 

I had forgotten it,  and the pan was burned black,  also the meat needless to say.  It too most of the day to air it out,  with all doors and windows open (on a 90 degree day)

It reminded me of the day many years ago when I was boiling rubber baby nipples to sterilize them.  I put the babies in the stroller and went off to town.   That was even a greater disaster.  We had to have all the clothes cleaned,  drapes and curtain,  and some things never did lose the smell. 

Moral:  an unwatched pot always burns.  sooner than later.

Any one out there remember baby bottles with rubber nipples?   

Grandson Jackson is engaged.   This lovely girl is named Chelsey Speirs and their wedding is set for August 17th  in Idaho Falls temple.   Congratulations!

                                                                        Keiko's dog Cody didn't get to come
                                                                Looking at books in the library  in the basement with Ruth and Danny and kids

 Danny arranged for Jason to fly in from California to surprise Ruth
 Obviously it worked.  He's there on an internship for two months.
 Lots of food in the park,  here David tries to decide what he needs
  Now  that looks really good,  his own home made chili on top
 Curt and Danny enjoying looking at the photo albums I've made.  It's so fun to have people actually want to look at them.
We took the big lawn swing,  when Gramps got tired,  it folded into a bed for a rest.    He was enjoying the day, obviously
 Back at home later,  James,  headed to Dallas Texas mission on the24th, gave me a backrub.  that felt SO good,  he's an expert, self-taught he says. 
Dasche loved playing on David's drums.  everyone got a chance later
Jordan built the lego pyramid,  but Dasche posed for the photo  Cute kid has lost some teeth since his last visit
More  drums with David

 We are really proud of David.  This is his first job as General Contractor and he has done a fantastic job.

The inspector showed up one morning and said everything looks great.  Next step....putting on the roof.

 Beth drove over for a visit on Memorial Day.
 Here she is with her favorite Brother-in -law ( those were her words!)  also her favorite Niece and Nephew ( we assumed that)
 Touring the new shop.

The next week Larry and Linda dropped by. 
Carol came along too.  She lives is Victor Idaho.
