I love July with the 4th and the 24th.

I'm so thankful for all those who have given

and sacrificed so much for me.

It gives me direction in my life.

1. John, Spencer, and Steven's court of honor for

their Eagle. We were babysitting Rob's kids now, so

we all went over to it.

I'm proud of you boys. It does take a lot of work and dedication.

2. Cousins love to gather.
Katie, Marri, Noelle, & Sophie.

3. While babysitting, we had a cousin party of course!

We kept Noelle, Mallory and Caleb after the court of honor.

They came over along with Marion's boys and Katie.

They are picking out their bracelet we brought back from Hawaii.

The spiral signifies eternal families and just as a spring

supports a bed, we can support each other.

4.Steven and Sophie wanted to fix breakfast for everyone the next morning.

I was good with that:)

5. And it was good - pancakes and scrambled eggs for all.
Mallory, Caleb, Steven, Scott.

6. The older kids wanted to go to Farmington Station and
window shop, so I went with them. We had a good time.

7. We went to a world market store where they bought some
Harry Potter Berie Bott's every flavor jelly beans.
Anyway, some had terrible taste and you didn't know it until
it was too late.

8. Spitting them out and drinking pop to wash away the taste.

9. Yes, I tried one also and got a bad one.

10. The younger kids: Jetta, Scott, Isaac, Caleb.

11. We did baptisms for the dead the next morning.
We had a wonderful time.

12. We read lots of stories from the Grandparent's Book.
Scott and Jetta loved them.

13. last night Jetta and Scott slept with me.
There is something about sleeping children. They are so cute!

14. Home to the temple and then babysitting Samuel while
Ellen and Daniel were at his sister's dance recital at WSU
They were having a Juneteenth celebrating the Blacks.
It was fun to see the culture and eat lunch.
Samuel enjoyed it also!

15. We saw Marc in Fiddler at the Old Barn.
He was Tevye. It is one of my favorite parts that
he plays. It was amazing. For those who know Margo
Tackett, she was Golda and was just as good as Marc.
