My daughter LaNae had surgery in Show Low, Az. I
went and spent 5 days to be with her. Kaylee stayed with me.
This picture was taken just before LaNae went into surgery.















Jared bought LaNae these Beautiful Flowers.
Pretty little waterfall outside of the Hospital.





Picture of us just before LaNae went into surgery.



In the Waiting Room.



This cabin is right next to the Sleep Inn in Show Low where
we stayed for 5 nights. I love the big front porch!
LaMar's first catch of the day at Big Lake!

At Dusk we drove around and saw A LOT of Elk!


Kaylee and Wes!

What a wonderful Summer! I was able to visit three of my
Children who live in different parts of the Earth! I spent 2 weeks
with Sherry who's Husband (KC) is attending BYU Hawaii, in
Hawaii. LaMar came the last few days of my trip and we were
there for Sherry's first little baby's blessing. The trip was wonderful!

Then I spent 1 1/2 weeks with my Son, Dustin, who lives in Bonney
Lake, Washington. BEAUTIFUL place! He and his wife (Andra) just
purchased their first home.

Then I spent 1 1/2 weeks with my Son,
Bryan in Bellevue, Nebraska. His wife (Celinda) flew to Salt Lake to
be with her Mother. So I had a whole week with Bryan and his darling
little girls:):):)

It was so much fun watching my children going about
their daily lives and seeing how life is for them! I spent 2 Sundays with
each of them, and it was so good for my heart to see that they are all
active in the Church and trying to do what is right! This makes it so much
easier to have them live so very far from home, KNOWING that they
have the true Gospel of Jesus Christ to be a Family and Resource away from
home! It was such a testimony to me to see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ
is the SAME no matter where you go in this world. What a comfort and a
blessing to this Mother and her children!!! I pray every day that they will
STAY CLOSE TO THE TEACHINGS of the Gospel and do all that they can to
SERVE and KEEP the COVENANTS they have made!
Here are some of the pictures I took of my TRAVELS to see my Children:
We saw this Turkey, just running along the side of the road!
I didn't get a very good picture, but if you look close you
can see two Deer, one in the road and one on the grass.
There are Deer EVERYWHERE in Nebraska/Iowa. Bryan lives
in Nebraska, but is right on the boarder of Nebraska and Iowa.

Just as it was at Bonney Lake in Washington, pictures really
don't do any justice. The scenery is soooo pretty EVERYWHERE!












There are BEAUTIFUL fields of CORN everywhere, in
Nebraska/Iowa, where Bryan lives!



My KELSEY!!!!!





Had to get home to "Crop" this picture
of Sadie - LOVE IT!

I forgot to get pictures of going to Church with the Bryan
Davis family, but was so impressed with their ward! After
church a bunch of young couples got together and had a
July 4th Dinner. They are really good friends for Bryan and
Celinda! Look how GOOD Bryan looks!!!!






I made a Birthday cake for Kelsey's 5th Birthday!
She LOVES PINK, and SPRINKLES:):)








Bryan and Celinda bought a years pass to the Omaha Zoo so
Bryan and I took the kids for Kelsey's Birthday. Bryan and
Sadie only stayed for a short time and then went home to take
naps. Kelsey, Lindsey, and I stayed for several hours and had
an absolute BLAST!!!! The Omaha Zoo is, for SURE the best
Zoo I have ever been to!!! I bought these ice cream cones for us
and it was so humid and hot that they melted faster than we
could eat them! Kelsey and Lindsey LAUGHED and LAUGHED
at how Grandma couldn't keep them all from dripping fast enough!
It was a mess but sooooo fun! Most of the Zoo is indoors so it isn't
hot, and in the winter, not cold:)



The AQUARIUM at the Omaha Zoo was soooo amazing!
It was like we were Snorkling with Uncle KC at Sharks Cove!








HELP, SHARKS swimming right behind us!























The Penguin Exhibit was soooo cool!
