A Visit With Nolan And Adelyn...

We went to the beach. Nolan loved it, Adelyn did not. We saw some crabs. They were better off away from Nolan. We stopped at all the candy stores and ate it all!

We went to the fair and saw the pig races, went on the "ferry-go-round", milked a cow, went on lots of rides. It was very hot but lots of fun!! It didn't rain on our visit to Portland this time. We were excited about that. Looking forward to our next trip.

Our Latest Blessing.....

Adelyn Olivia Randall joined our family Sunday July 12, 2009 weighing in at 8lbs 10oz. Mother and baby are doing great, so Nicholas says. I understand that she has been calling for her Nana since she arrived. A trip to Portland has been scheduled. We are excited to welcome grandchild #10 to our family!

Happy Anniversary.....

July 9, 1977

In 1967 my cousin had a crush on this cute boy Ron. She said, "If you like Tim (Ron's younger, and very cute brother) that would be cool." So I, being only 12 years old agreed. I knew then who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It was alot of work but I won his heart and we are 32 years into the rest of ours lives!

Papa is FUN....

Papa plays fun things with the grandkids.

When Ali Was Here...

We put up the slip and slide and made a drinking fountainwith the hose. The water was refreshing!

We walked to the park. There were only two injuries. Nana didn't bring bandaids. We had lunch in the park. It was a long walk.

Papa gave us hats.

We had fun when Ali was here.

The Prophet Said To Plant A Garden....

Oscar and Colby helped Papa plant the tomatoes. Colby was afraid of the spider and the worm.

Birthday Girl.....

It seems like just yesterday she was sitting in the sink playing with Nick's toothbrush. Happy Birthday Jill!

Fun With Nolan...

We went to Portland to visit Nick, Heather and Nolan. It rained. Tim and Nolan measured things at IKEA. They put a new McQueen bed together. Nolan put the screws inside the frame and Tim had to take the bed apart to get them out. We went to Build A Bear and Nolan made a bear. He named him Papa Bear. Papa Bear is wearing underwear and a hardhat. Nolan's choice. I took a blanket of Jill's with me and Nolan slept with it every night. Luckily I took two. He cried when I tried to take it home. It belongs to Nolan now. Sorry Jill. We had a great time in Portland.

Pinchey, Pokey or Cutey....

We introduced the game Pinchey, Pokey or Cutey to the boys. They loved it. Papa might let us play this game again.

In Blackfoot Again....

We went to Blackfoot to visit Troy, Ali and the kids. While we were there we took a swim in Lava Hot Springs. Troy blessed Alissa. He said the blessing had to be short because she was so heavy. Of course we went to the dollar store! Another fun trip. Looking forward to the next one.

And this months birthday girl is....

Happy Birthday Emily! We would never forget you.
