Nephew's wedding..Kevin and Amy

This morning we did a temple session and then went to the sealing of Kevin and Amy..they never kissed until the alter. Here are two of my favorite and different parts of this day..forget the whole bride maid game..This is Kevin's wedding..As a child he was always someone else and lived it for awhile..like Waldo and Peter pan....They also provided sack lunches for everybody at the temple !! It was really fun. All of dadu's siblings were there, and in fine form.

latest jean quilt and gazania project..

flower seeds

I love gazania's but so do the gophers..and the flowers are expensive for gopher food ! This morning as I took my walk I took a sandwich bag and collected seeds from different gazania's . Many of them are dropping their seeds right now. I planted the seeds on the mounds dumped in the front yard from the retaining wall project in the back yard. I watered them good and we'll see if I get flowers. I will repeat the process next walk !

They left a nice Father's day sign..and transplanted poppies and ice plant. The gophers got ALOT of tunnels messed up in this process !! And, No, the anti-gopher windmill does NOT keep them away..but it's cute !

Dad and Nathan did the first half of the wall.

Nathan did the whole going from 3 to 2 blocks section on his own..[with April's help maybe.] These are 16 inch blocks ,6 inches thick and HEAVY. The clay ground requires a pickax to get dirt out !

Awesome Father's Day Gift

Last night while dadu and I went to Sara's reception in Chino..Nathan got 30 more blocks and worked Really, Really hard and finished the retaining wall on the side of the garage. What an AWESOME surprise !!!

new policy

Our latest favorite quote is "Sometimes our children learn to depend on the Lord only when we get out of the way." Children of ours...We have taught you correct principles...... govern yourselves, make it all work in your families. Love, mom and dad.

Oh ya..I forgot another game and a gift in that $5 bag...
