Katie and Gwen

Katie and Gwen came a few days before our family vacation.
They came for the boys graduations then both Sam and Riley decided not to "walk".
We were grateful for a few extra days with them.
Gwen loves her play room at Grammy's house.
I make sure we have plenty of babies and accessories.



We went to a baby animal farm.  At first Gwen wanted nothing to do with the goats.
Then she was hugging and kissing the bunnies.
No interest in the chicks.
She did like to feed the goats.
Life is always fun with Gwennie.

Las Vegas


August 2011
The day we moved from Vegas.


March 2018
The day our tenant moved out and we got the house ready to sell

We have sold our Vegas home.  
We moved from Las Vegas to Salt Lake August 2011, 
at that point the house was worth 37% of what we paid for it back in July 2004  
We have been fortunate to have the same renter for the past 7 years.
The house sold quickly and we feel very blessed 
that we were able to get 84% of  our 2004 purchase price.
We are grateful for tender mercies.

Lots of great memories of living in that house.  
Love to see how big the palm tree is that we planted.

Easter & Conference

Two of my favorite traditions in the same weekend.
Conference and Easter.



I loved the Solemn Assembly.
What a sacred experience to stand and sustain our new prophet.


What a blessing to hear his testimony and to know that he is a Prophet of God.
I am grateful to be a member of this church.
All the messages of Conference were fabulous.
It was inspiring.




Of course we had the usual Easter Festivities.
Follow the yarn to find your Easter Basket.
Mike took advantage of it also being April Fools.




Tried a new Recipe - Sourdough Waffles.
They were loved, could replace the standard Buttermilk Waffle recipe.


Dyed eggs, yes I can pretend my boys are still little.


Worked on a new knitting project.
I took a class and I am knitting a sweater for Gwen.

All in all it was a wonderful weekend with Conference and Family.
