"For the Beauty of the Earth"

Steven and I went for a ride up Mirror Lake Hwy on Saturday.

It was beautiful.

We walked all the way around Mirror Lake.

If you haven't been before there is a nice smooth improved path around.

On the way we played at the Provo River Falls

But then of course we can always enjoy the beauty right in our own back yard.

Grandma's play time

Heidi went to girls camp and Jared had an interview so we went

and got Xander and he got to play with Jaqueline and Alexandra

and he slept over night with them.

We made a tent out of the quilt frames. Just like my children use to do.

They thought it was great fun to dog pile on Grandma.

They were all sad when they had to go home.

They had so much fun playing together.

Nicholas - Baby Blessing

While Isaac and Family was here they had Nicholas blessed at the Milton Ward.

Reunions and Fun

We had two fun reunions this summer.

I get so busy that I forget to take pictures.

But here are a couple.

Isaac and his family came down for the Hardman Reunion.

This is the first time Steven got to see Nicholas.

Jaqueline and Alex had fun playing at Uncle Tony's Freddys Park

This was at the Noyes Reunion
Westin made some great balloon animals
This is Conrad Langford, Mack Weber, and Xander Plumb.


This is a cool moth that I found on the patio.

So Tiny Serena

These pictures were taken when Serena Dawn Smith was 1 week old

It is fun to see how little she is in comparison to her Daddys hands

She started out at 5 lbs 5 oz. and is now 6 lbs 9 oz.
