ENJOYING FAMILY IN ST. GEORGE....

WE ARE GETTING OUR 23rd GRAND CHILD IN NOVEMBER!!!

AND HERE... "HE"... IS.

And here is his mommy Lindsey and his big sister Sophia.
We are SOOOO happy for them and can hardly wait for a
new grandson to come along. I can't share his name yet
but we love that too!

Here we are at the park in St. George, waiting
for the movie in the park to start, while enjoying
thick shakes and zucchini fries, what fun!

Michael and Lindsey came and stayed over night=fun!

Miss little Delight...she is so much fun!

We love hanging out at our home in St. George.
Ron washed the car....

Tinkerbell carried the little bear that is attached to a story

book around in her mouth, waiting for someone to throw it
I suppose!

Sophia rode the carousel ...

Played in the water park...

Found some friends...

Loved the water on a hot day...

She loves coming to grandma's and grandpa's and

and then on to the water park just 2 blocks away.

Grandma even got to tend her for a little bit...FUN!

Ron and I went to our ward/area dinner...

It was held at Pine Valley and it was nice and cool and
lots of fun with new neighbors.

The St. George Mormon temple is just 3 blocks from our
home there...we love to go there and also spend time outside
on the beautiful grounds. I loved the combination of the lace
curtains and the palm tree.

Caleb, Claire and Ella, sitting with the temple behind them.

Oh oh, I got caught with no makeup and not doing my hair...
oh well, at least we all match, me and Claire and the flowers!

The temple at night time...

and the temple in the middle of the day...

and as the sun sets behind it...

Constantly beautiful always!

Ella and Caleb enjoying the program for
kids in the visitor center. Ella loved the little
house and climbed over a few times to try to
go inside. :)

Caleb and Ella loving Jesus...

There are wedding going on at the temple, this
sweet couple said that I could take their picture.
What a happy day for them, to be married for all
time and for all eternity...true JOY!

HOORAY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY....

We were in St. George on the 4th of July. We went to the early
morning breakfast and the parade and all the festivities at the
park and the fireworks that night....FUN!

We were sitting right where the temple was the back ground
for all my pictures, loved that!

Camels? Well we do live in a desert and it was a nice hot day!

Waiting for the parade to start, yes he makes a good pillow!

Yay for the awesome fire fighters, they have had

so many fires to fight this summer in Utah!

HAPPY 4TH AMERICA...WE LOVE YOU!

I love all the old trucks...

and red cars!

I won 4 tickets to go see a play at Tuachan...so excited!

The thing about parades that I love the most? The kids!

This guy caught my attention...
or at least his bird did!!! Pretty cool.

On to the park where they had, can you guess?
A watermelon seed spitting contest, great fun!

The park was full of people and children...they had a
100 foot water slide going on the kids who LOVED it!

I found some darling material...

at a thrift store in the form of Mini-skirts, and since I don't
wear those, I thought I would make them into this....

Two little pillows for my front porch!
They turned out cute, love them!

Found this little one at a thrift store too...so cute!

Oh, and I found the grasses in the basket at that same
thrift store too! So cheap to get the porch looking cute!

Our little St. George Cottage...we are really loving it! Still
hoping and praying for a buyer for our main home so we can
get fully moved here.

The fire works were shorter this year but awesome!

Loved every minute of it!

The city had them being set off from 3 different places...
it was so beautiful over the temple too.

When we got home, I open the door to the back deck to find...

Mrs. Hen...she had taken over my basket of flowers on the back deck,
for her roost! She said that she was just guarding the place...sure!

We have had some gorgeous sunsets lately...

See...I told you...gorgeous!

Then on the weekend, our local town held a 4th of July
celebration. That is our little grandson Kelton sliding
across the canal.

This is my husbands brother Newell. He was in the parade because...

He is running for county commissioner...I love his old red beauty!
I hope he wins because he is a great guy who could do a lot for
this county!

Our grand daughter Ronnie is a cheerleader and they were
in the parade too.

Way to go cute Ronnie...she is the tiniest, so

guess who gets to be the one they throw in the air!

Loved this darling team of tiny horses...

We were parked right by the canal, I think that was Cougar 's
favorite part of the whole parade!

Well, that it from me...3 posts!
Hope you enjoyed them.

If you don't hear from me for awhile,
I know, that you know, where I have gone!

LOVE YOU ALL
JULIE
