Mom's Visit

My mom's dear cousin, Jerry Mortensen,  passed away while I was in Mesa.  Mom flew back with me to attend his funeral in Orem.  It was so nice to have her stay with us for about 10 days!

Virden, NM


Mom and I decided to take a little trip to Virden on my Dad's birthday.  We stayed with Kent and Shelley and visited quite a few people.  It's always fun to take a trip down "memory lane" and remember life as a kid!  What a great place it was to grow up!  Such great people and friends come from this little town. 
Happy Birthday Dad!

The Clouse House

Hummingbirds at the Payne House - Jean fills her two feeders twice a day! 

We brought a load of Kent and Kyle's watermelons back with us to Mesa!  They still make my mouth water just looking at them.   Dax thought they made a great seat!

Happy 80th Mom/Grandma/Grandma Great!

We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday a little early this year so more people could come.  We had a great time spending the day with her.  Here's a few pics of the big day...
