Wedding bells!

Today we received a wedding announcement from Evonne's daughter Katrina.  Notice her middle name is Vi.  The fellow she is marring has an Irish name.  Rory O'Hara is definately an Irish name.  Also notice his mothers first name.  It is Irish.

It is hard to believe these kids are old enough to get married.  Seems like it was only yesterday when they were little at the Schiess Reunions.

Bronwyn is either Irish or from Wales.  It would be interesting to know their family history.

Keeping busy.

Dad was busy cleaning out his lean-to and

replacing his equipment.

While I was busy making jam and bread to take out to a few families.

I don't think the jam is going to thicken so I guess we will have strawberry syrup instead.



What season is it?

                            I took these pictures this morning.  They look a lot different from each
                            other don't they.  Wonder what tomorrow will bring.
                             (this picture was taken of the snow on the tramp, so it looks worse than it was)

The flowers in the front look very cheerfull.

I'm looking forward to warm weather.



Last minute interactions.-April 25, 2011

                                          Layne and Luke got a little special time with Grandpa before they went home.

Luke brought the picture book to Grandpa to read to him.

He had to read it over and over.

We really enjoyed your visit, Black Family.

Easter Sunday

The kids had a fun time finding easter eggs.

We had a real nice program at Sacrament meeting.

We had 3 soon to be missionaries talk.

The Thurstan boy and Strongs.

Ryan is going to the Philipines and the Strongs to SLC.

Their talks were all on the Savior and the Resurrection.

Saturday April 23-FHE at Sanells-Kendras lesson

 Grandpa put all of the grandkids who were here to work along with Derek and Becky to put the limbs that were cut down out in the alleyway to be picked up.  They were good workers.

                                             Pretty good when the line up to work.

                                         We had a real nice FHE with everyone.  Thanks Kendra and Jared for the lesson
and thanks Shanell and Rod for the use of your home.  Everyone of us were there and that was great.

                                       Wendy brought some clothes to share with the rest.

Families are great!

                                           The kids were having fun with their swords.

                                                Then they had fun eating together.  Hot Dogs and fries.
                                          Isn't that an exciting meal?  They didn't complain.

Then they had to dye Easter eggs.  They ended up with some very nice eggs.

Landon liked his green one.

I liked the blue ones.

See his green egg.

Later Lance and Kedryn and Dorrin came and Lance helped us cut off some limbs

on one of the Scotch pines out by the garden.Thanks for your help Lance.

We had pizza for supper and Derek brought Tyler and Micah.

Hope the kids (and adults) get some sleep tonight.

See you all at Shanells house tomorrow for Blacks FHE.

Families are forever.  We love you all.
