Smorgasbord of pictures

These are a lot of fun pictures that I want to share that I didn't fit into their own blog.

Here we go...

Ainsley and Owen are trying to go somewhere.

The whole family was home for Michael and Emma's wedding. Wayne and Gwen invited us all over the following day for a BBQ. Which was so nice to have a reprieve after all the things we did to get ready for the wedding and reception.

I got April's doll house out of the attic that she got for her 3rd birthday and gave it to Jovie. I love seeing my grandchildren play with the toys their parents did.

Jovie took a great picture of  Ruby in sun glasses. Come to find out they are Uncle Josh's glasses. Well he did leave them behind.

Misty shared this picture of Hyrum. What a funny face. Gabe was ringing bells or something and surprised him.

Jessie was helping us make dinner for the men in our family for Father's Day. Big help!

Papa J officiated a wedding for a couple from the branch. April and her girls crashed the wedding and Jovie was on the stage dancing like she was on "So You Think You Can Dance" It was so cute.

Clara is following in the footsteps of her momma. Her daddy David took this picture. Isn't she adorable!

I love the technology that my children can share pictures and the happenings of their families with me when we don't even live in the same town. I realized I would not have made a very happy pioneer woman. When their children moved away it was likely they would never see them again. The mail was so slow if it even got to you at all. Yep, I am grateful for this technology. Makes for a happy grandma.

Meet Agnus and Francis. Larry's new girls.

The kids got together and got dad some kids for Father's day. Kid goats that is. On the day dad was building the chickens a larger fenced in pasture little did he know that later the evening he was getting his Father's day present. Perfect timing!

Francis is closest to the camera and Agnus is in the back. They are cute.

Hey, what's up? Got some hay?

Those stinker pot goats keep going in the chicken coop.

The chickens love the new large yard Larry put up for them. The goats and chickens share the pasture.

Strutting her stuff.

So far I've gotten over heaping 8 1/2 flats of strawberries. So pretty and tasty. I've shared, dried, made fruit leather, frozen, sliced and frozen, made desserts, made lots of jam, ate and ate them.

Did I say I ate them?

Michael's Big Wedding day to Emma, June 10th, 2011 (Part 1)

First up I need to say that I didn't take a lot of pictures. I was super busy making sure things got done and besides that we had a very capable professional photographer that would do an amazing job so I didn't need too. A few pictures are mine and a few are Misty's that I copied and pasted from the photo album she started for Michael and Emma as she edits them. Their are still many pictures that she is editing so that is why this is part #1 and I'll have a part #2 when more pictures are done.

They're going to the temple and They're going to get married...

Very handsome and beautiful! Rachel did Emma's hairstyle and Shannon applied her makeup.

As they go in single...

Ta Da! Presenting Mr. and Mrs. ...

Family and friends were there to greet the couple as they came out of the temple.

Justin and Michael haven't seen each other for about 3 years since before Michael left for his mission.

Jeremy and Sarah came to the temple. These two were such a huge help before, during and after their reception. Best man and Maid of Honor.

Those are all the pictures I took. These next few Misty took. They are beautiful. I can't wait to see all the rest of them when she gets them done.

Us and our kids with Emma at the temple. I have a beautiful family!

This picture was taken downtown somewhere. I love it.

We had a candy table at the reception. I love the way Misty put the rings in the candy for the picture.

These next were taken in our orchard.

I really like how the light plays in this picture. What a great looking couple. Will make for some more of those cute grand babies for Larry and me. *smile*

That's it for now. I'll be posting again after I get more pictures from the temple, downtown and the reception. Stay tuned for the rest of the story...
