A Visit to the Temple June 18, 2013

Our Young Women Group went to the Idaho Falls Visitors Center to view some short movies about the Priesthood.  That is what we are studying this month in our Sunday lessons.  Brother and Sister Gee are serving a mission there and gave us some special attention.  Sister Gee took us on a walk around the Temple Grounds.  The movies were good and we had to have a picture in front of the Christus.  On the way home we stopped at Artic Circle for some ice cream.

Father's Day Weekend June 2013

Clinton and I went to Washington to spend Father's Day Weekend with Tyson, Courtnie, Kaden, Emma and Kimmi.  We got there Thursday, June 13th.  On Friday, Clinton, Tyson and Kaden went to the Father and Son Campout and had a blast.  On Saturday, we celebrated Father's Day.  We had a BBQ at Tyson's.  Cory and Nicole and their family stopped by to visit.  On Sunday, Clinton and I brought Kaden, Emma and Kimmi home with us.  We dropped them off at their other Grandparents house.  Tyson and Courtnie went to a Potato and Onion Show in Oregon.

Emma was practicing her casting with her fishing pole.

The Little Things June 7, 2013

The other day at work  I found this on my desk with a note that said " You are doing great!" 

 

I have been given some new responsibilities and I am having to learn a lot of new things.  Clinton has been very patient while he is teaching me these new things and answering my questions.  He made me feel good with this note and chocolate.

 

Our washer finally died!  I am so happy, I have been waiting for this to happen.  We had to wait 10 days, but they finally arrived on Friday.  Doing laundry all day Saturday was so much fun!

Memorial Weekend 2013

Saturday, May 25th, we went for our annual Cemetery Ride.  We always start at the Sugar City Cemetery.  We placed flowers on Clinton's Grandma & Grandpa Arnold's graves.  Wilford Cemetery is next.  We visit four graves there, my Dad, my Grandma & Grandpa Barrett and my Uncle Bill.  Out to Plano we go to see Clinton's Mom and Dad, his Grandma and Grandpa Chandler and his baby sister.  Our last stop is the Little Butte Cemetery in Annis.  My Grandma and Grandpa Hedelius are buried there.  This is my favorite cemetery.  I love all the trees and the location of it.  I always enjoy reminiscing about our loved ones who have passed on. 

 

Flowers at one of the graves we visited.  Our friends, Brian and Jacque Madison visited for a couple of days this weekend.  One of the people they know in Rexburg has been diagnosed with cancer so they stayed with us while they were seeing him.  He doesn't have much longer on this earth.  After church on Sunday we went up to Aspen Acres, just outside of Ashton.  We have parked our camper there for the summer.  This will make camping easy to do because we are already set up.

 

Monday, May 29th, Jamie & Darla; Pam & Ivan; and Clinton & I went to Yellowstone Park for the day.  We were celebrating Pam's birthday.  We saw Old Faithful and the Falls at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.  Can you see the Falls behind us?  When we got back to West Yellowstone, we hooked up with Ronnie & Paula and their kids for dinner and the Playmill.  We watched "Beauty and the Beast".  It was a fun production.

 

Here is a random picture of an Oreo, banana shooter.  I was given these great shot glasses for Christmas to make desert shooters.  I also tried a strawberry, banana shooter.  Yum!  We had two BBQ's this weekend.  We had some friends over on Saturday to BBQ and play games.  Then on Sunday we had the Rudd's over for dinner.  Gailiene just had surgery so we wanted to make dinner for them.  I just love to host parties!  I always love to try new deserts for these occasions.
