Where has the time gone?

I guess it has been a while since I have posted anything. Life is just too busy!

Since the last post, the major thing that has happened is - We got this letter in the mail from the Vernal Temple Presidency. Oh No!!! Uncle Norman Angus turned our names in over a year ago for us to be temple workers. They finally decided that we should do it! So, we went to the interview and found out that Brent would start serving in the temple the first week of May, but I wouldn't start until June. We have been serving in the first shift of the day in the Vernal Temple. We have to been there and dressed for prayer meeting by 6:30 AM. (Thank goodness they took that first session away or we would have had to be there by 5:00 AM.) Anyway, we now serve together. It is a two-year calling to serve. Because I need to go back to my job in August, we will be changing our shift to the Thursday night schedule. Wow! did I mention how many things there are to learn when you serve in the temple? Lots!!!

As soon as June got here, we were tending grandchildren.  Boyd and Emmy went off to California and their children stayed here at our house. And when one family of grand kids is here, you just have to invite more so they can all play! They had a great time playing in the backyard with cousins. Of course, we also celebrated a birthday while they were here. That was fun too!

 There are many days that children can be found at our house. On one occasion, Hailey and Lily were having fun dressing up! Thanks to Laurel who supplied the princess things for them to play with.

July came, and we were still running! I enjoyed time with Shari and Mom in the first week of July. Then as the month went by, Shari and David came to visit for a weekend. That is when Shari decided I should finish some quilts that I had started a few years ago. So, we worked on it. I did the sewing, while Shari did the ironing. Then we got it partway put together! Now the problem is, should we make it for a boy or a girl? Time will tell and we will know on August 17th, so, the quilt gets set aside again! ;) But we did make good progress while we were working on it.

Then it was time for another birthday! We have lots of them! Jason and Jared's birthday was next followed by Claire, and then Bodie! All in one month. Well, needless to say, I only have pics of Bodie's birthday. I guess I was not thinking when I didn't take pictures of Jason, Jared and Claire! Here is the celebration:
