Graduation

Here are some pictures we took at Bryan and Celeste's graduation from Utah State University.  But first I am showing you some of our flowers in St. George.  They were very pretty this year.  I also found a bird nest in our yard.  It is so small and cute!

Celeste's graduation day.  She got her Master's Degree.

We went to dinner at The Bluebird in Logan as a tribute to my Mom and Dad.  They went to Utah State and loved to go to the Bluebird for fancy dates and to buy candy.  They have kept the decor the same all these years.  It was like going back in time!  The food was good.

Bryan's Class of 2014!   YEAH  he made it!!!!!

After graduation pictures.  We were trying to capture a retro picture of when I graduated from college, Bryan held my hand, and now I hold his hand. However, I couldn't find the picture of me! So this is all we get.

Jeff and Bryan.. Jeff is closing his eyes, but since this is the only picture I took, here it is!  It was good to have both boys there because they are fun brothers. They have a tradition of trading hats at graduations!

The happy graduation couple!

Good Job Bryan and Celeste!

Picnic in Zion

A few weeks ago my brother from Texas came home for a visit.  He doesn't get to come home very often, so I decided to go spend some time with him and my family.  My brother, Jeff, loves to go to Zion National Park when he comes home for a visit, so we decided to have a breakfast picnic in the Park.  It turned out to be cold, but we still had a nice time.  We packed everything we needed for a good breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, except a cooking pan. We got in the car and drove down to the Zion Market and bought a new frying pan! It just wouldn't be a family picnic unless we forgot something!

Growing up our family loved to play games.  We would spend hours at the kitchen table playing all kinds of different board games or cards.  We had to laugh at ourselves because now we all need glasses to play board games.

It was fun to spend time at home with the family.

Be My Valentine!

Laura and I decided to have a Valentine Baking day this year. We made sugar cookies, dipped pretzels, and peanut butter cups. They all turned out so nice and we had a lot of fun.
