The Garden and back Yard

Okay, so here are some pics of the back yard and the Garden. This has been the strangest year as far as the weather goes. My poor garden is slowly growing, I mean slowly! My poor Zuchinni won't even come out of the ground. The Water mellon plant died. We need to have grave side services for it. The Cucumbers haven't grown since I put them in the ground too. And last of all the peppers are dying too. Hopefully it will warm up and decide to be summer. I spent several hours the week before Ellyce's baptism trying once again to fix the pond. It still has a hole in it, it's just down one foot instead of three feet as it was last year. I guess I should be thankful for that. I think it turned out really nice. Maybe I will tackle it this weekend again to see it I can get it fixed right. Wish me luck.

Utah Summer Games Opening Night

Last Thursday we went to the opening ceremonies of the Summer Games. Both Girls DAnce Teams were invited to dance in the pre-show. They both did very well. Here are some picks.

What a Week!!!!

The week started out with McKenna's birthday party on Monday June 1st. We had several girls over for Nail painting and a movie with popcorn. Then presents and cake. Then On Friday we had Ellyce's birthday party. Her Birthday was on Saturday, but because of the Baptism we held her friend party on Friday. We had planned to go to the pool at Three Fountains but the weather would not cooperate so we had them at the House. They painted ceramic figures and then we painted nails. We made homemade pizza then had a pinatta followed by presents then gifts. Staurday was Ellyce's baptism. It was so nice. afterwards we had a dinner at the house. About 50 family and friends came. Ellyce wanted to have babyback ribs. So, we had baby back ribs and short ribs and various salads and desserts. It was great! Ellyce wanted Mexican wedding cookies and Almond butter chocolate chip cookies and cream puffs and Key lime cheese cake. So thats what we made. Whew!!!!

Grandpa Bess, We love him!
Grandma Great! will be 98 in Aug.

Grandma and Grandpa Stucki, So fun to have them here!

One of Carolyn's friends from Minnasota sent this flower cake to Ellyce, So we sang to her and she blew out the candle. She was so thrilled.

At the baptism, She looked up and was so excited, she could hardly wait.

More pictures of the dinner. We had originally planned to have it in the back yard, but the wind was strong and cold, so we had it in the garrage.

Her is a picture of the men in the circle for the confirmation.

Just us! dosen't she look cute?

All in white, look at her hands, do you think she is excited.

Easter 2009

Easter weekend, Friday night we colore eggs at my mom's house. The girls had so much fun.

Then we went to Ivin's for the annual egg hunt there. It was raining and very cold and you can see on Ellyce's face. The kids got alot of eggs, but the rain kind of made it not so fun.

Here is a pic of the rewards.

Then we went to my Mom's for our usual picnic and egg hunt there. It was still raining when we had our picnic, but then it warmed up and we were able to have the egg hunt outside. My siblings and I get plastic eggs and fill them and count them and divide by how many kids there are and then hide them.

we then had family pics. So fun as you can tell.
