I selfishly took a gardenia off a neighborhood shrub while on my morning walk today. My grandma always wore "Jungle Gardenia" perfume and I was in the mood to remember my grandma today. Gardenias are so beautiful, elegant, strong and fragile all at once - so like my Grandma. And of course, she always smelled wonderful ~ like a Gardenia! I miss her very much!
Made by my dear young friend Ashley after her bracelet lesson today. She did great!
Jason and Leslie are officially engaged and will be married in the Fresno Temple on November 7th. Congratulations to both of you!!!! We love you both to bits too!!!!
Leslie's engagement ring...it's really beautiful.......
Sean and Dad
Sean and his nephews Grant and Nathan...Grant wanted a jumpsuit like Sean's!
The family after baptism party. Very nice to all be together! He had a wonderful time! I can't believe he's 8 years old! Time has flown.....
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few."
Sean got to go swimming at Grandma's AND drink a soda...his favorite things....
Little Mandy is growing bigger. She's very energetic - however when she gets tired she crashes. This was a short restful moment....she is sweet!
Sean, Nathan and Grant on our new swing...
It was so hot outside that the poor kids were thirsty!
Since this photo my topiary on the left has been fried by the blasting heat.
