Hope of America!

Yesterday was Spencer's and my 38th wedding anniversary.  Jamie's son, Tyson, also had a school performance which took place down at the BYU Marriot center.  Getting to BYU was a traffic nightmare and took a really long time.  Parking was another nightmare, not to mention finding a place to sit.  I think everyone in Utah was there. 

As soon as I sat down and looked over to the students performing, I saw what I thought was Tyson.  And it was.  My eyes are still pretty good, all considering the distance!

Here he is the middle "white" shirted group.  He is in the 2nd row, 4th from the right. 

Standing up in the red jacket is one of the directors, Alan Osmond

As you can see, the shirts made a flag.  And these were all the students throughout Utah County and all 5th graders.  They had studied American history this year and I can remember Jamie doing a program in 5th grade of a patriotic type very similar but on a very small scale and only her school was involved.

It was a full stadium. 

Grayson was rocking to the music and clapping.  He was a fan of all of this.

Towards the ending, the audience did a "wave" all around the stadium.  It was hard to capture, but you can get the idea, anyway.  And I hope that these young students will someday make their marks in the world, especially my 5th grade grandson, Ty.  I see him going far in life.

Personal Trainer

Well, 2 of my grandkids occupations are set in place.  Logan comes over frequently to "exercise."  He lifts my little weights, does push-ups and jumping jacks.  So I decided I have my own personal trainer now.  And Brecklyn, knows how to give a good massage to relieve those achy shoulders of mine.  Tyson says he wants to be a doctor, and the child definitely has the brains for it.
So I am all set for my OLD AGE!

Happy Belated Easter!

Today is clearly not Easter.  It was last Sunday.  Generally we always have a dinner together, but last week was different.  It was the week we were in Las Vegas for Spencer's mom's funeral.  Needless to say, it was different.  And we weren't back in time to have a dinner here anyway.  So it was today.  The dinner was fine and it actually worked out well because it was stake conference and we got out at 12:00 instead of 4:00 pm.  So we could eat early and be done early.    It was much cooler today than last week, but that is April for ya. 

Food is fun and brings the family together for the fun occasions in life.  If it wasn't so much work, I'd do it everyday!

Omi picked some pretty spring flowers for me.  I have none in my yard.  Aren't they pretty?  Couldn't find my regular vase, though.  It must be buried somewhere....

Livin' in Legoland

Yes, I live in Legoland.  They are everywhere...Yes they are!

And that is just part of the lot.  They run the house and the lives of the males in the family.  But it's a good hobby so I can't complain too much...just a little when I sit on one by accident.
