Scott's birthday and April Conference.


Becky snuck out to prune the apple trees right after breakfast.
Then it was windy and colder.  It did clear up a little nicer.



Lance came and helped Dad trade the 4 wheeler with the tracks on it to
the one without.  He helped fix the tail light on the trailer.
Now he need the boys to help him take off the tracks until fall.



They covered the 4 wheeler back up with the tarp.
Dad babies those machines.
We got to watch confeerence in the morning and Becky and Dad
went out and weeded out by the front of the house.
I planned on doing it Monday, but no one listens to me.

We finally did it!


Thanks to Beckys hard work we have finally been able to do some Temple work
for some of our relatives. 
We were able to stand in for 7 couples being sealed, and the parents
for 3 boys and 1 girl.
This is something I have always wanted to do.

Time for the Newspaper announcement.


Sorry this is turned sidesway.  Today I took the picture in for the Wedding
Announcement to the newspaper.  It is supposed to be in the
Tuesday Standard Journal next Tuesday.
Becky wrote up the announcement for me.
It is one of the nice pictures that Kendra took in Provo for them.

Dad is happy to be back home where he can work. March 27 and 28


Yesterday Dad bought a attachment for the lawn tracter so it can rake up grass,
I guess you could say mulch it.
Becky and I helped him a little, but he did most of it himself.



See how it works!  I think he is enjoying himself.
He is definately a workaholic.

Becky, Dad and I made a fast trip to Cedron to Lynns place to
get the back drops for our Open House.
Their 3 dogs were not happy with us, but they were all
bark and no bite thank goodness.
Lynn and Penny are in St. George.

March 23 and 24th. A mix.


Everyone is waiting outside watching for the bride and groom to come out.



It looks good enough to each.  Thank you family for all of your help.



We had lots of little helpers also.


Sorry I didn't realize this was so blurry.



There was plenty of food.



Guess I thought it would clear up.  Ha!  Ha!  Think I am tired.

Wedding day for Derek and Marcie. What a great day. March 24, 2012


These pictures are a bit mixed up.  This picture of Jared is on the Temple
grounds on March 23.  Nice picture Jared.



This is what our tables looked like for the luncheon at the church building.



Scott and Rod poured the water for our lunch.


Everyone was trying to get pictures I think.  We should have plenty between us all.
We saw some of Kendras today and she got some great ones of the couple.


This was at Marcie's home before the receptioon.
You both look wonderful.



March 23, 24th


This is the Chandler Temple which is being built.

We were watching the ducks in the pond and park across the road from the the
new Temple being built.



We took a walk around the Mesa Temple grounds on the 23rd so Kendra
could tell were to take pictures tomorrow for
Derek and Marcie.

Sorry I got it here twice.


This is a picture of everyone but Jared, Dad and me by the catci plants
on the Temple grounds.
Why are you covering your eyes, Kimball?



They just came out of the Temple and look very happy.
We are all happy to have Marcie in our family now.


This is a log which has turned to rock.  Petrified wood.
There was two of them on the Mesa Temple grounds.
Don't know why these pictures keep duplicating. 
Guess it is just this photographer.  Kendras and Jareds pictures are much better than mine.




Pictures from our trip to Arizona, March 22.


These are some of the pictures from the plane.
We picked a very beautiful day to fly.  It was nice and sunny and clear.



Anyone know where this is?



This is the airport in Mesa.  Look at the cacti.  It is  quite a bit different from the
Idaho Falls Airport.  It was so nice.




She is reaching high to get those grapefruits at Burgones home.
We got some organges also.
They really tasted good for breakfast the next morning.



Dad is sitting at their table in their dining area.  Ellen had us for
supper on the 22nd.  It was very nice of her.



Dad is trying out our bed in the house we rented with the Blacks.
The bed was great and we both slept good.
The house that Jared rented for us was really nice.  Thanks Jared.



This is another view of the house with Kimball, Koria and Kendra.



Derek and Marcie are sitting on her front porch.
Derek stayed with us on the 22 aand 23rd at the house.

I', way behind so I will just post from pictures of different days.


We were loading up Lance's trailer so Marcie and Derek will be ready to take
of for Arizona on Tues.




Becky printed up a geneology sheet for Dad and me.
You can see at a glance the empty spaces where work needs to be done.




Becky and Dad waiting in the the Idaho Falls airport on March 22.
We were waiting for the plane to come and so we could load up.
Notice how Dad crosses his feet.  I never noticed it before until he was in the
hospital with his broken neck and they had him try to stand up.
He looks like he is hanging onto my bag.

This is really cool.  You need to see it.  No batteries are needed



Becky helped them put it together.
Landon had lots of help

Landon's Birthday. (continued)


Landon is getting his birthdat spanking.
He was looking forward to it.

Happy 5th Birthday Landon.

Guess what it is? I took this on Friday the 9th.


Have you guessed yet?



Neither have I.  I do not remember taking a picture that day.
We went to the Temple of course.
I think I have a Ghost in the house and that it took it.

March 8--Full moon.


I planned on getting some different pictures tonight but forgot.
Bonnie took , Glen, Rilla, Lyle, Kelly, your Dad and me out to eat at Applebees.
It was to celebrate my birthday late.
I got home and remembered I hadn't got my pictures even though
my camera was in my pocket, so I tried to take the moon over Arnells house.

We received the invitations for Derek and Marcies Wedding and receptions.


We received the invitations on Tuesday the 6th and took them out to the ward
members that night.  Dad drove us around and
Becky and I ran into the houses.
Where were you grandkids when we needed you?
I also sent the one to Scotland and the one to Canada.

Being Angels for one another.


A week from Wed. is our Relief Society Birthday Party.
This is the theme for it.
Becky had to make the invitations and deliver them to the sisters.
It is one the 14th, but I'm not sure we are going.



It was so good to see the sunshine.  The clouds were in unusual shapes also.

Sunday visitors


Today when we got home from church today we had some visitors.
It was a surprise to see them.
They went to Utah thisweekend for the baptism of Katrinas nephew.
They needed to bring her neice back to Rexburg so we were glad to visit with them.



Today we had a lesson in R. S. on this book.
I had to give a short report on chapter 4.
They didn't have time for all of them.
