Alyssa's Marching Band

Alyssa is in the middle of Marching Band. She's gone on competitions to Pasco and Joe Albi Stadium and this weekend will go to Corvalis, Oregon. She is so good in Percussion and is so fun to watch.

Temple Square

On the way home, Dad decided to show Kaylee, "Temple Square." Do you remember Dad showing you, "Temple Square?"

Great great great grandpa Lewis Barney's name on the plaque in Temple Square.

The Open House

Ashley's parents gave Jonathan & Ashley a beautiful open house.
We had so much fun with cute Faith and Logan. Thanks Ashley for the beautiful "Plumb" sign. We love it!
Kaylee's class has "adopted" Jonathan. They have pictures of him all over their door.
We just love being grandparents!
Thank you so much to each of our children and grandchildren for giving us this very special weekend with you. It meant so much to me to have each one of you there. I know it wasn't easy. But thank you. There isn't anything better in our lives than being with all of you. We love you so much.

Weekend in Utah

Thanks Jared & Heidi for letting us stay at your house on the way to and from St. George. We had so much fun with cute Xander.

Then we had so much fun at Emily's with cute Alicia and Jaden. She was very pregnant!

Thanks Josh & Emily for treating us to Mandarin Buffet. Jonathan & Ashley met us there.

Thanks Grandma Ruth for cooking and cooking for us and letting us stay there. Grandpa & Grandma's house was so fun with cousins playing together.

Thanks also Angela, Ryan, Kathleen, Brandon & Cody for letting us stay at your house on the way home. It was so fun walking Kathleen to preschool while she rode her bike with her cute backpack on. And Brandon was so cute, climbing in our car to come home with us. (See Ang's blog for these pics!)

Jonathan & Ashley

Jonathan & Ashley were sealed for time and eternity on September 16th. This was one of a few of the most special days in my life.

First Dates

Bradley went on his first date to the fair with Hailey. He doubled with Curtis and Karen.

Alyssa went on her first date with Michael. They doubled with Kyrie and Ryan. She asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance by writing the invitation on the back of a puzzle. His answer was this cute gigantic boulder he left at our front door. The girls made dinner at our house for the boys. (Thanks for the yellow plates-Emily!) Then they went to the corn maze, and then bowling.
While we're talking about dating, Bradley went to the Sadie Hawkins with Kristen. They doubled with Kyle and Karen. They all dressed in what they thought were 80's style clothes. I think it was more like no style clothing. But they sure were cute.
