Remembering


Steven and Maya came with their family. Michael came home and we all went to decorate Clint's grave.


We bought the traditional mums. Dad brought his hanger hooks to keep them from blowing over.


These three were good at giving advice. Everyone thought that Michael brought his girlfriend.


This is Grandpa's better side while at work.


We got it finished. At least we hope that Clint is looking down and seeing that he is still remembered, loved, and missed very much!

Grandkids are Great!



Desiree thought the pool table was fun to play with. I think she is giving it some thought on that shot.

Maya went to Orangeville to visit with Lindsey and Erika for the night.

I'll get this blog business yet.

Busy Saturday


Company came today. Steven and his girls arrived. They were all busy playing with Grandma and Grandpa's toys.


Gracie liked the wii and got pretty good at it. She dressed up using toys from the toy box.
She had them all to herself. I think she must be beating Desiree from the look on her face.



Steven and Avery liked the bowling and could hardly take their eyes off the screen.



Grandpa was real busy cleaning all of the carpets in the house before the company arrived.



This seemed to be the culprit that gave Grandpa all of his aches and pains. Grandma loved it!

This page was actually a trial to see if I could get pictures on my blog. I think (Steven) and I did a pretty good job.

Surprise in the Pantry

I was hunting for a new box of garbage bags this morning when I noticed something long and unusual. When I found the end it was attached to three potatoes in the back corner that had been growing all on their own. Who says you can't grow a garden in Price?

Thomas and Seth were happy to take them off my hands!

Huntington House

We have been working hard to fix up the Huntington house in order to rent it out. The previous renters had animals and they ruined the carpets and floor. We had to remove the floor boards to remove the smell. Ray and Michael also removed about 6 inches of dirt to help get rid of the smell. When we removed the floor boards, we discovered a solid foundation of boulders.

They dug out the dirt and hauled it out into the front to fill in some low spots in the front yard.


Michael kept hauling loads as long as Ray kept filling the wheel barrow.


Skip got Ray some professional grade disinfectant spray that also helped to remove odor. It smelled a little like lemon scent, but it did not last. It is much better than it was. We are hoping to have it finished before the Jenson reunion in Richfield at the start of June; with luck. It most likely will not happen. We are making good progress.

Hopefully this is my final blog

We have had a tough time keeping a working blog. This will be our third try at creating a blog. After a few posts we have trouble logging in and we have not been able to access our account more than a few times. This time I set up a gmail account and hope that this try will be more successful.
Ray received one of his father's day gift a little early by accident. He came home from work one day and there was a package on the front porch. He brought it inside and I tried to keep the contents a secret. I told him that it was a father's day gift and that he would have to wait to open it. He looked at the side of the box and said, "I guess I will have to wait to use my new piano bench." It was written right on the side of the box. He loves it very much.


Thomas, Jennifer and Seth came to visit for the weekend. We had a lot of fun. Seth ran from place to place playing with all the toys and enjoying everyone's' attention. Ray was working all morning on an eagle scout project. When he got home he showered and needs some lotion on his feet. Seth was more than happy to help give him a little massage. All you other grand kids should take notes on how to get on Grandpa's good side.
