Father's Day


Dan had a very nice father's day complete with our family. What more could a father or grandfather want? Dan felt loved, honored and happy! It all about family and Dan is so grateful to be a part of our loving family. It was great to have Dan's mom with as well as Jason and Melinda and Bret's family. It was a beautiful day!

Cinderella Ballet


Laura entertained us on Saturday in her second ballet performance. I am so impressed with the ballet company. Everything is beautifully staged and professional. Melinda found a first rate class for Laura. The scenery, costumes and everthing were outstanding.

Alas, Laura was indeed amazing in her dance. She looked beautiful in her blue costume and her hair was in a perfect bun. She not only knew her dance perfectly but she made sure that everyone else was doing the steps correctly too! It was such a delight and I could not get the smile off of my face watching her...loved it!

Melinda did a great job with choreographing the ballet class she teaches and the children danced it well!

Sara turns "2"


Yes, that's right our Sara is two years old and absolutely delightful. We had such a fun birthday party which included Melinda's parents and it is always good to see them. Our star...Sara...enjoyed every moment of opening her presents of books, 3 adorable Minnie Mouse Pictures for her bedroom made by her mom, a baby stroller and two pink baby dolls! She was excited about everything. She squealed in utter joy and surprise every time we sang Happy Birthday and she blew out her candles and said..."I did it!" We had so much fun just watching her have so much fun on her birthday. Great memories!

Hannah Graduates from High School


Yikes! It happened, Dad & I have our first grandchild graduating from high school. Where and how did the time go by so quickly? Our beautiful and talented Hannah is growing up and will be attending Utah State this fall. It was so exciting to see Hannah sing with the a' ca paella choir and Madrigals during the graduation ceremony from Bingham High School. The program was held at Utah Valley University and it was good but long (3 hours) with over 740ish graduates.

We enjoyed a lunch at our favorite Thai restaurant in Orem and our Hannah, Bret, Todd, Aaron and Jacob and I had more than enough to eat and loved every bite.

Hannah left the day after graduation to fly to France to meet her friend and tour for 2 weeks! I can only imagine how much fun she will have....can't wait to hear all about it!
