Gavin Wyatt Elder blessing July 4,2010

Hi Family and Friends, Here is a picture that was taken on July 4th in Newport Beach, California. We were there for the blessing of sweet Gavin Wyatt Elder and my what a beautiful baby. He was so good and so many were taking turns holding him and he didn't mind one little bit. (Adam and Tracy also have a darling 3 year old girl (Kaelin) and she loves her little brother.)

After the blessing Tracy's parents had all of us over to their lovely home in Newport Beach. Fun time and I do have a couple more pictures...I will see if I can get them to come up in this blog.

Sorry I can't seem to get another picture on this blog...yet.

Hi family, This is a better picture of our latest Great Grand Child...Gavin Wyatt Elder.

Well, Friends and Family I am back into my blog and I hope to do better now. Main reason is that Dad and I have been released from our mission as of July 1, 2010 and except for going to the office when needed and serving in the temple I may have the opportunity to update my blog now and then.

First off don't you just love this family picture. This was one year ago and I still think of the wonderful moments with the family in Chelan, Washington. A few couldn't make it due to Mission, work or other reasons but they all will know they were loved and missesd.

See the picture to the left? I am having trouble trying to use the blog with pictures, but wanted to show off our latest Great Grand Child, Gavin Wyatt Elder, born to Adam and Tracy Elder on May 3, 2010 and Gramps and I were able to fly into California last weekend (the fourth of July) and attend the blessing in Adams and Tracy's ward. What a wonderful weekend and there were others that came from long distances for this special blessing. Dave and Michele from Covington, Washington, Analee and Charlie and they two sons, Nate and Mason and Aaron and Laura and Jack Elder from AZ. and Steve and Lorene Elder and their 5 children Braxton, Mallory, Colby, Jenna and Rock Steve's family were in Disney Land the week before and drove to Newport Beach for the blessing. Michael of course came from Nibley, Utah along with Kevin (Kevin made a baby blanket for the new baby) Yes, that is correct, made. Ashlee was also with her dad and Kevin. Austin Elder was there in spirit of course due to the fact he is serving a wonderful mission in Chile as of last November 2009. We had a wonderful luncheon at Tracy's parents home which Michael made a few calls to have sandwiches made by subway and salads and some items were done by Tracy's parents. Tracy ordered a beautiful blue cake that had Gavin Wyatt Elder on the top. Pictures were taken by many and when I receive some I will post them to this blog. Adam and Tracy had good friends come and Tracy's family were all there. Gramps and I hadn't been with Tracy's family since they were married 5 years ago...

Hi Rainy,

Hi Everyone,


I have this wonderful Sister Wilson serving with me in the Washington Seattle Mission and we went out to lunch so we could see this fancy new mall in the Bellevue area. So we ate at Neman Marcus and afterwards we just had to have our picture taken by a valet young man who has a job of parking cars. We loved his uniform and he was most charming. Hopefully, I can get the picture on my blog.

Love to everyone...Grandma June

Ben Elder arrives in Seattle Aug 14, 2009

Hi Everyone,

Just an update about another one of our grandsons coming home from his mission. Ben served faithfully in the Uruguay mission and used his mission time to the fullest. His
mission President sent us a letter telling about Ben's callings while he served his mission and he gave his all to whatever he was called to do.

Here are some pictures of our greeting him when he arrived in the SeaTac airport.
