ST. GEORGE & FAMILY, MEMORIAL WEEKEND...

Happy 9 months old to sweet baby Claire!

A big old robin sitting on the fence at the St. George L.D.S. Temple.

The visitors center at night, with the statue of Jesus Christ.
This sits on front and off to the side of the temple, it is really
beautiful day or night.

One of my favorite sides of the temple...

This temple is so beautiful in any lighting or any time of the
day or night. I love walking around it and spending time on
the grounds.

It sits right in the middle of St. George, our little home is
one block behind it and 3 blocks north of it. I so love that
everyday as I go for a walk when I am there, I am in the
shadow of the temple, what a blessing!

This past Memorial weekend, we did a few things on the house.
Do you see the iron piece hanging in the steep of the house?
And the two gingerbread pieces on the porch?

Now you can see it better...I found it at the cutest little
gift & thrift store. The owner had used it on his shop
for about eight years. I was thrilled because it was the
exact shape and look that I was trying to find for the
steep of this house.

It was a bit darker, so I primed and painted it white
to match the white trim of the house and also my iron
angel in the flower bed. I was so happy when I ran on
to this iron piece because I did not want to hang a star
there, I wanted something more cottage and this was
so perfect!

We also added two gingerbread brackets on the front porch.
We had them left over from a home we built two years ago.
I never could find the right place for them, until now and they
fit here perfectly!

Hawaiian dancers and red rock country...why not?!

There is an awesome place called TUACAHN...It is tucked
away in a red rock box canyon. The most wonderful plays
and musicals take place there. It is so neat to sit out under
the stars for a night of great entertainment.

They hold a big farmers market there every Saturday and
we went up to see it and see the Hawaiian dancers that were
there also. A beautiful and fun day.

Our next door neighbors invited us over for a barbecue.
This is Tom and my Ron getting a head start on the ribs!

And this is Tom's wife, Sue. They have the cutest little
cottage home. It was a delicious dinner with ribs, beans,
new potatoes & peas, rolls and limeade. We brought the
chocolate candy cake and some ice cream.

They are the funnest people and they have been so kind
and helpful to us as we have painted and worked on our
house. All the neighbors have been so kind and friendly!

This is our great grandson Tracen
and his little dog. I just love how he
is hugging this cute pug!

Pretty happy pair if you ask me!

Sweet little Claire after her bath, I love baby bath time!

Claire's mom and dad at the policeman's ball...I may be a bit
biased but I think this is a good looking couple!

Their little girl Ella, and her dog sweet & loyal, Tucker.

Guess who? Well, I would know those beautiful eyes
anywhere...it's Sophia!

Grandpa Ron with Sophia

I think you can see how much Caleb loves their new kitten
"Sprinkles"...they both look pretty cozy to me!

Sophia loves bugs...see the caterpillar on her hand?
Brave little girl.

Time for school graduations...
Our grand daughter Brickelle graduating from 8Th grade
and heading into high school next year! She is the second
from your left, the darling little blond with the pretty floral
dress.

Well, it's that time of year...time to play and have a great summer!
Sending out my love to all, have a good summer wherever you are.

then I am not visiting all other blogs any more either. I just didn't
like spending all day at the computer. I do miss them though!
