First snow cone of the summer and other good stuff...

Grandpa helped Colby make a walking stick for the campout to Zion National Park! 

Colby helped me make this yummy taco pie.

We made some fun blowfish. Grahm really liked playing with them.

Mark and Grizz napping while Grey reads a book! Grey loves to read.

Fun day at Nickle City!

Grahm thought this toilet game was so funny. He laughed every time he tossed a brown ball in the toilet!

This was a new game and Grahm was grabbing the balls as fast he could. He got a lot of them in the slot.

Yummy sushi!

Grandpa is so much fun!

A little rest, then time for more water balloon fun.

Grahm wanted the victory shower!

We really enjoy watching Mark play soccer. It brings back many happy memories. He still has it! 

Fan club!

Someone found a snake on the field, and Colby could not get there fast enough so he could hold it. 

All good stuff, except the snake!

ThrowBack Thursday ~ Diving to Daddy...

2015 

Cash and Colby diving to Mark will always be among some of my favorite pictures. They trusted their Dad would catch them. 

Happy 97th birthday Dad...

 

I never what to miss a year of honoring my Dad on his birthday. I think of him often, it's been 31 years, and he would be 97. I enjoy the two hour drive to his grave, it gives me a chance to remember. I always clean up the grave stone and trim the grass. I've said this before but Grandma Federer always wanted the graves cared for. Dad would help do that on Memorial Day with her. I often came along and helped too.

There were cows nearby and I heard a Meadowlark sing. I always listen to Carrie Underwood sing, "How Great Thou Art." 

Love you Dad

Joseph and Emma...

It was a windy but beautiful day in Idaho a few weeks ago. What a tremendous blessing for me to be at the Twin Falls Temple for my great-nephew Joseph sealing to his sweetheart Emmalee. It was also wonderful to be with other family members that I don't see as often as I would like.

The sealing room was full of family and friends and it felt like a little part of Heaven! As my niece Heather said, "It never gets old."

My nieces Holley and Heather, I feel blessed to be their aunt. I miss them and was so grateful to have a few hours together, and get some much needed hugs. I love them so much.

Darling Lucy, she really loves he big brother Joseph!

I'm so happy for Joseph and Emma and wish them joy and endless love.
