Aug. 22, 2013 Book Group, Camping, and Mom

I really enjoy the flowers we buy each week at Costco.  These are the flowers we had for the book group meeting which was held at our house on Aug. 6th.  14 attended and Alicia Timms helped with the dinner we had before the review.  The tables were outside on the patio.  We went camping on Aug. 7th near Mirror Lake which is up past Kamas.  It was a new tent and we could stand up in it.  Pretty amazing after our backpacking tent which is tiny.  We forgot a can opener so I used the axe to open my can of green beans.  The picture of us and the 5 boys with Mom was taken in June.  Fun summer!

How amazing to get all of us together in one place for a picture!  We had a great week as well.

Sun., Aug. 3, 2013 Busy at Home

We arrived home on Mon., May 27th.  We spoke in church on Sun., Jun. 30th  The night before we had a picnic for our family and Ralph and Nancy's families and Mom.  The picture is part of the group at the picnic at our house.  Hadlee, Dave and Joyce's daughter was blessed in church that day.  In the afternoon Nelson was ordained an elder.  We drove to Sacramento in July to hear Nelson speak before leaving for his mission to Chile. The missionaries singing are elders who served in Armenia.  They sang at a picnic the Sun. that Pres. and Sister Carter spoke in church.
