Ben and his neat friends came to visit him.

About a week ago Ben had two of his close friends drive to Bellevue and visited with Ben for about 6 days. They drove here from West Jordan, Utah and made the drive in one day. They had a wonderful time together and Grandpa and I enjoyed having them in our home. Ben worked a nice plan of where they would like to go and what they would do while they were here. Only thing that didn't pan out was the weather. The day the boys left for camping it rained, but Grandpa and I found out later that the rain made the trip even more enjoyable for these three guys.

Their names were Trevor and Jeremy and I am sorry to say I don't have their last names. But we did get some nice pictures of them and so I'll try and attached the pictures to this blog.

One of the friends (Jeremy ) has received his mission call and he will be going to Africa in August. He will make a terrific missonary and Ben should be finishing up his paper work for his mission call this coming week and then the wait is on for the news of where Ben will be serving.

Grandpa and Ben and the two boys went bowling a couple of times and that was fun for everyone. Ben has been doing really good with his bowling. His scores sometimes have been over 200 or close to it and that brings a smile to his face.

Enjoy the pictures and thanks for taking time to read my blog.

Love and hugs, Grandma June

Mothers Day 2007

I hope all of you will feel my happiness when I tell you about my wonderful Mothers Day was and each year they keep getting better and better.

On Saturday Grandpa and Ben scrubbed our deck and then I received some lovely flowers that they bought together. I was thrilled and cleaning the deck was no easy task. Grandpa and I could tell that Ben enjoyed this chore and worked right along side of Grandpa with full intent to have our deck spotless. I love them both for this taking the time and energy to do this task that will bring a smile to me whenever I'm on our deck this summer.

On Mother's Day Michele and Dave had invited us over for dinner after our block meetings at our ward. When the three of us walked in our chapel there sat Dave and Michele and I was so happy they came to our ward for Mothers Day. I looked again and had to blink twice because there was my son Michael also sitting in the row that we usually use. Then!! I looked again and there sat Austin (grandson) and I got excited all over again. I had no idea they were coming and what a gift that was to this Mom and Grandma. So we all enjoyed our hugs and meetings and then drove over to Dave and Michele's lovely home in Convington. We also enjoyed Michele's Mother during dinner and it was fun to be with her again and also one of Michele's brothers. We did take some pictures and I will try and attach one for this blog.

I was also given phone calls from Steven and Karen and it was fun talking to them and knowing that they would of been here also if they could of. I'm grateful for Krystin who also called but missed her call due to being gone. Great weekend and I will smile everytime I think of my wonderful family.

I hope all of you had a great Mother's Day and the next time some of the family will be together will be for the blessing of Adam and Tracy's baby due June 4th and we will travel to California for the blessing and to hold our 9th Great Grand child.

I love you all and I'm so grateful for family. Love Mom/Grandma June

Bowling with Grand Parents.

Well, I must say our grandson Ben is sure a good sport. He and Grandpa have been going bowling together about once a week now, for quite some time. I have been asked to go with them but the timing wasn't the best for Grandma. Well yesterday was good timing and we three went and had a great time. Ben wanted me to see him bowl over 200 which he did twice while bowling with Grandpa and in fact he beat Grandpa. Good for you Ben and so I went bowling but neither of us were experts in the game yesterday. So on for more practice and I'll add a few pictures of our game of bowling with the old folks and young Ben. Ben is such a good sport to want to spend time with usl...We love him dearly. Grandma June
