San Antonio

I brought my camera but I am really bad at remembering to use it so I have a limited number of pictures. Here we all are with Mckenna after her blessing. I love her dress. Cassi's Grandma-in-law made it for her.
Here we are outside the Alamo. I don't think anyone can come to San Antonio without having a similar picture taken. We really enjoyed visiting the Alamo. It is much smaller than we had thought that it would be. Rylie and I have some interesting hair going on. It rained all morning the day we went and then it was very very hot and humid that afternoon. We both have just enough natural curl that came out that day to make our hair look very funky.
Here is Rylie, Cara, Mckenna and Tyler at a rocky nature preserve near Cara and Jeff's home. It was fun to go climb on the rocks and trees. It was really hot and humid so we didn't stay long. When we were getting ready to leave we heard a noise in the bushes just a 100 feet or so away and looked up just in time to see some deer walking nearby.

THE BEST TWO WEEKS!!

We have had a wonderful two weeks of being Grandma and Grandpa. Cassi, Jacob and their 3 beautiful girls came to Utah and stayed for almost a week. We had so much fun spending time with them. This is Hoby and Kamryn. Kamryn is 6 and just started 1st grade. She is so fun to be with and it is exciting to see her learning to read and write.

Here I am with Hadley. She is such a bundle of energy. There is never a dull moment with "Hadders" around. She is 4 and is getting ready to start her second year of preschool. She is very curious and loves to ask a lot of questions.

Anndi is growing up so fast. She is almost 10 months old. She is such a happy baby. She always seems to have a grin on her face. She has such a sweet personality as well. She is learning to crawl and feed herself right now. It was so much fun having her around.

Two days after Cassi and the girls left we flew to San Antonio to take part in Mckenna's blessing. It was Hoby, Tyler and Rylie's first opportunity to see Mckenna in person. She is such a wonderful baby. We got to spend a week in Texas with Cara, Jeff and the baby. It has been such a great two weeks spending time with our daughters, sons-in-law and granddaughters. Not living near all of them has been very hard on us. So we enjoy every opportunity to spend time with them.

Plentiful Harvest

So we made our rookie attempt at having a garden. Here is the bountiful harvest that we have gotten so far. We actually have quite a few more tomatoes that haven't ripened yet and two cucumbers as well. We got 22 beans...not even enough to feed us for one meal let alone freeze or bottle. Oh well...I guess we have a lot to learn still. We did master growing a fine crop of weeds though.
