Happy Birthday, and many more.

 Jennifer had a birthday a little over a week ago. We don't know what we would do without our Mom. Happy Birthday Jennifer!
 Grace wanted to run for the student council secretary at the elementary school this year. Here she is waiting for her turn to give a campaign speech at the school assembly. She won! Congratulations Grace!
 We spent a couple of days up at Louis Lake Lodge. Edwin and Grandpa Dave had a great time fishing. Grandpa even ended his multi-year streak of being skunked.
 Grandma and the kids did some sewing. Grace embroidered her handkerchief to get ready for the Ogden Temple rededication which she and Edwin attended on Sunday.
 Boats, boats and more boats.


 Grace and Anne both had their first violin recital at one of the local senior centers. They love their teacher Alena

The boys will play while the girls are away.

 James has been asking to go to the skate park almost every day since Grace and Anne started school. Finally mom took the boys and they had a great time.
 Even Robert decided to get in on the action. He may only be crawling right now, but he sure does move fast sometimes.
 James is pretty fearless at the skate park. He had some pretty good wipe outs, but just kept getting up and trying again.
 Finger painting is always fun, or is it supposed to be hand painting?
 What a cute drooly little guy.
 One of my coworkers has several apple trees. We got invited over for the apple party.
 The kids and dad got to climb the trees and shake all the apples down.
Mom picked up a lot of apples while Wally told her all sorts of stories about Antartica. For payment we got all the apple crisp and fresh pressed apple juice we could eat and drink.
