Suffice it to say, It was a WONDERFUL Summer!

It's been awhile since I blogged so I could be here all night talking about what a great time we have had this Summer but most of you know all about it.
We had so much fun helping Jennifer and Michael prepare for their wedding and reception, and it was great having them here with us for three weeks.

I timed it just right for my flight to Vegas to meet baby Carly, I was only there about 24 hours when she arrived healthy and beautiful as can be. I was with them about two weeks and had so much fun playing with Easton and bonding with Carly. Em and Steve are awesome parents and words can't describe what a joy it was to be able to help out during that time.

I took a little side trip to Beaver and was able to spend time with mom, my sisters and their families. It happened to be the 24th of July which is always so fun in Beaver, the best parade ever. I also attended my 40th class reunion and that was a real blast from the past, how wonderful to see the faces of my dear classmates again.
Yea for the class of 69!! We looked pretty darn good.

As soon as I returned it was time for the Leonard JOLLEY reunion at the coast and that was so fun. They really know how to have a good time and it was so good to see them. Bruce has a wonderful family and I love them all, we had Jennifer and Michael, Tina, Scott and their family and Marc and Connie and their family with us.

Jennifer and Michael were married August 15th and that brought our whole family together along with our wonderful friends. We are so happy for them and will love to hear all about their new life together in Provo, UT. We were able to spend time with all of our grandchildren and that doesn't happen often enough. MANY THANKS to all who were there in support of Jenni and Michael. It was wonderful!!! We had a super fun trip to Dallas Texas for the open house and loved meeting Michael's family and friends and seeing all the sights there, it's a beautiful city.
