Our trip to New Hampshire

Sheri set up decorations for the Court of

Honor for Matthew.

Lisa, the cook, is getting ready to cook for the

big dinner after the Court of Honor.

Lisa taught us how to make salsa. I have never

cut up so many tomatoes in my life.

This wood pile is just too much work. Oh, well

John needs it done, so lets go to work.

The men of the family did it!

I made dough for cinnamon rolls.

Susan and Lisa are enjoying a roll.

We are in Bath, Main

We ate lunch in Bath, Maine

Matthew was nice to let me take a picture of

him.

Lisa wanted to make certain it was recorded

that she is on the East Coast. All the way from

the West Coast.

Carol and Colleen organized Susan drawer!

Matthew received an award for being a Sr

Athlete in golf. They gave him a T shirt.

Trip to Utah

DeVaughn, Colleen, Kathryn, & Doyl attended

church on Sunday

Kathryn cooking our lunch. The stove was

her mothers.

We enjoyed watching the mother and father

bird feed these little birds. They are

bluebirds.

We thought they were big enough to fly away,

but they didn't while we were there.

Kathryn and I are sitting in the boat. She had

just caught a fish. (We ate it for lunch)

DeVaughn took this picture.

Disney's CHRISTMAS CAROL Train Tour

Grandma and Grandpa took Zachary to Los Angeles to see Walt Disney's Christmas Train.

Grandma and Zachary standing in front of the train.

Zachary inside of the train. They had a front room with a fireplace.

They had a pretend Christmas dinner.

After the tour we watch a man on stilts.

We made a Christmas Card for children in the hospital. It was like a service project.

Look at the long line to get into the train. We got there early and didn't have to wait in line.

I liked riding on the train. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get home.

We had a table and we played games.

Grandpa and I both went to sleep.

Trip to Napa California

This weekend we traveled up to Napa, CA for our great great nephew, William's baptism. It was a such a fun weekend. We got to be here for not only his baptism, but also for his baseball game and birthday party. He had Desert Dave come to his party with lots of creapy crawly reptiles. He brought two snakes, 3 lizards, a tarantula, and a frog. He was very interesting and the kids loved it. They were glued to their seats for an hour! They all got to hold a corn snake. Little Maddie even loved it.

The baptism was so great. Merrill and Lisa made a video of lots of pictures of William growing up. The talks were great too. After, we all went back to Lisa & Merrill's for a Mexican feast. I've never tasted such great Mexican food. We had tacos and enchiladas to order.

Sunday, we went to church and then up to Merrill's golf course. It is so gorgeous. He took us on a tour of the whole property. All I can say is that it was AMAZING! We can't wait to come back up so we can play there.
