Orem City Days Parade June 13, 2009




Our family watching the Orem City Days Parade June 13, 2009. We had 7 of our 9 children and their spouses and grandkids there! It was so fun to all be together. The grandkids look forward to this every year. At the end of the parade, it starting pouring, so we all ran home! Then watched the fireworks from our houses at 10:00.


The day before Derek, Dawn and Liliana left for Virginia. Shelley was having a family picture taken that day.

Gary made me this placque for Mother's Day. It says "Forget Love, I'd Rather Fall In Chocolate". He knows me all too well!!! Angie knows too!!!!! Since she'd rather fall in chocolate too!!!!

These are the flowers my son-in-law, John, gave me for Mother's Day. They came in the mail in a big box and this is how they looked a few days after they opened up! I think they are some kind of lily. I just loved them and thought it was such a special gift from him.
