Robert and Genie came over on Sunday evening. Isn't David cute? He will be three next month, and in September he will be going to public school special education classes several times per week. He knows where to find his favorite toys and other entertainments. (He loves to manipulate the light switches and pull out Grandpa's tool drawer in the kitchen).

Climbing under the table is another favorite thing.








And here are some photos of his mom and dad. Genie is due on August 24th.

We have had some beautiful sunsets lately...there's so much smoke in the air...from all the forest fires raging throughout the state. Here is a photo of Guenther and his brother, Parker...taken on the 12th of July.
Parker took this one of Guenther and me.
This is Renee's son, Brock, and his friend, Carmen. They both attend BYU-Idaho, and Carmen is heading home to Wisconsin. Brock is going to try his hand at selling security systems in San Diego. This was the first photo that I took with my new camera...sorry that it is blurred.








I got to tend Summer last week, and when I asked her what she'd like to do, she said, "Bake a cake." So here she is with her creation.



We attended the Tabernacle Choir's Pioneer Day Program in the Conference Center on Friday night. Guenther's daughter, Jackie, her mother-in-law Sharon Howard, and Sharon's friend, Norma, went with us. Joyce Larsen, who lives in our ward, also went with us. (Actually, we all went with Jackie, who drove).

This is our little garden. The marigolds are struggling, but the petunias are doing well. Guenther does a good job of keeping everything watered.
Today (July 9th, 2007) I took Mike, McCall, and Drew to the Planetarium at the Gateway. We saw a great show on The Black Holes.

The Cook s stayed with me on Friday the 6th of July, and I paid McCall and Drew $2.00 each to memorize 3 Nephi 11:29. (Summer was busy playing with Emalise).Here they are working on the task. (Drew kinda dropped my scriptures when I told them to smile for the camera) I like these closeups of Drew and McCall.

Here are some shots taken on the fourth of July. We went to see "Ratatouille" and then had dinner at Dave and Tami's house. The first shot is of Jordan and his friend, Amanda. Next is of Summer showing off her new scrapbook that Aunt Tami and Katherine are helping her make.

This is Tami's lovely garden...done in boxes. And David brought home two puppies recently...Zeke (the Irish Setter) and Apollo.

Tami served us her delicous Beef Barbeque. Here is her recipe. Thanks, Tam!

A shot of Mike and Dave...Mike has shot up this past winter. Katherine helps with dinner.
