Brianna's Shower

We had a fun baby shower in Riverton for Brianna and Sydney (and Paul). Corby and I and some cousins hosted the shower for Brianna's side of the family and ward friends, and of course her sister-in-laws. Brianna got lots of presents. Oh and by the way, her name is Sydney. While we were at the shower opening presents for 3 hours, Paul and his dad and friends went to see Batman: Dark Knight. They enjoyed it. Paul came after the movie to look at the presents and visit with family. All my daughters were together one last time before our first granddaughter is born. Paul and Brianna will be leaving with a car load of gifts on Tuesday. We will miss them and look forward to seeing them soon.

Copper Mine



We had a fun day with my grandkids at the Kennecott Copper Mine. It was pretty awe inspiring to those little eyes. And they all stood up on the railing and looked down and saw all the big, huge trucks. They tried to look thru the telescopes; Nikolus and Hunter were able to see. And then we went to the museum and the boys picked out rocks for a momento. This pictures shows just how darn big the tires are. It was fun to have my little grandchildren for our little adventure, especially since Amy, Brianna and Paul were with me.

Our New Blog


Dave and I moved to Bountiful Utah almost 2 years ago and have had our condo up for sale for almost a year. We would like to move back into the Salt Lake valley, a little closer to our grandchildren. And with gas prices and our work, this would be an advantage. This spring we've been busy remodling our Sandy shop, Creative Wigs, and arranging for a new manager to take some of the pressure off of me. So far, since I've been semi-retired last August, I've had very little time off.

Dave is working for James as office manager for Barker Installation and is starting a wig internet site for our company.

We rewarded ourselves for all of our hard work by buying bikes and we're trying to take a bike ride most nights at 8 pm. We're trying to learn a little bit more about Bountiful and get some exercise.

Guess who is setting up this blog??? Amy! So, hopefully I can continue informing you of our life after she leaves. Brianna just arrived in town and is looking quite pregnant (I'm so happy). We are giving her a shower, so you all will be receiving an invitation for an open house baby shower on July 19th from 12-3 pm. If you don't get an invitation, come anyway. Paul will be in town for a week at that same time. I'm very excited that everyone will be in town this month, except maybe Colby. By the way, Colby works for James and travels. He is now in Florida for a few more weeks installing for Starbucks/Barnes & Noble.

I'm excited to be a part of the blog world!! So hopefully now, I'll read more of your blogs.
