Trip to Visit Tiffany!!! Yea Tiff!

We hadn't gone to visit Tiffany in Rexburg since we dropped her off 3 years ago, (she did come home to visit on occasion...) so we thought it would be good to visit her to see where she worked and played...we had such a great time! Breanna met us there also...she drove from Provo to hang out with us.

So we got to see her in action playing Ultimate Frizbee...

Played pool at Tiff's lounge...one of Landon's favorite pasttimes while waiting for girls to get ready...
Straightened mom's hair for a new and updated look.

We went to Tiffany's restaurant where she worked for a while, met Steven who's she's dating...(do I dare say that?!?....:), went bowling, to a car show, stadium singing, played way too long at the BYU Bookstore (Apple area), and just hung out playing games....

And watched Steven and Landon play TRON on a little itty bitty screen....:)

We also celebrated Father's Day, the best way Eldon knows how...with his family. We sure missed Telisha, Nate, Sidney, Owen and Tanner though!!!!!!!


Thanks for the fun memories Tiff! We love you!

...they really do exist....

I have truly believed for a number of years now, that there is a fish still alive in the 11+ year old pond. Now, here is the proof we have needed....and look how he's grown!

He seems to live alone now, so we'll have to find some friends for him this year. I regularly feed him now, just to see if he'll come to the top of the pond for viewing...

Hummingbird Time...

Don't you love the time of year when the hummingbirds begin to fly around your place? We have a couple of hummingbird feeders that we try to keep filled each season. Here are a couple of pictures of the 4 hummingbirds that have come back this year. They're quite territorial and don't like to share too much, but we managed to capture a photo with two of them tolerating each other, if even for a moment or two.

Pictures taken through the window screen, so not as clear as one would like...

Father and Son Motorcycle Ride

May 29, 2011 - On one of the nicest days of the year so far, Eldon and Landon took off for a very quick motorcycle ride up Highway 410, just because they could. Landon has now signed up for his motorcycle class, which is required for the motorcycle endorsement. Both men have their permits which are good for 90 days.

The trip didn't take too long because Eldon had to be back to conduct a funeral for a sweet elderly sister in the Ward, Sister Cathern Harston....Eldon's second in two weeks....

They had really looked forward to taking the motorcycles on the road together. I'm sure it will be a first of many to come....now if only the good weather would stick around for any length of time!

Summer, here we come....!

1st Motorcycle Ride as "Street Legal"

"Jeep, Motorcycle, Jeep, Motorcycle...which should I drive...."

We thought we better record Landon's 1st street legal motorcycle drive. This is the day we registered the motorcycles for street (not just trail riding...). I believe it happened on Friday, May 13th 2011..Landon had come home for lunch, hoping the paperwork would be done, and drove off to finish up school for the day. He couldn't get the smile off his face...:)

May Birthdays...

We celebrated Eldon and Landon's birthday this month. It's been a quiet month of celebrations, but we love these two men and wish them the very best in the year ahead!

For Landon (17) he was able to receive some gas money which always comes in handy, sport shorts, one gigantic box of his favorite popcorn and some princess balloons his good friends couldn't resist on surprising him with...but for his favorite birthday gift he wanted to register the motorcycles so that he could ride it to school and back. Gas money was getting pretty expensive as he drove the Jeep everywhere. He's hoping the motorcycle will be a little softer on the wallet....He passed his knowledge test and now has to go through a state motorcycle class to get his official motorcycle endorsement....He even got his Dad to get licensed! Pray for safety.....!

Eldon received a Kindle for his birthday and has it all set up and is reading his first book on it! Gotta love that! Thanks to the girls for helping with the purchase of his first ebook!

Happy Birthday to you both!

Visit to Provo - May 6-9, 2011

 With Breanna moving to Provo, we took a trip to drop off a bed, computer and other personal belongings....
We went to the last BYU Baseball game against Seattle, no less... We had hotdogs before, got pictures with Cosmo, and got a personal handshake and signature from Bronco Mendenhall - all in one day! We even squeezed in visiting with Larry Smith and family and Mother's Day shopping! Doesn't get much better than that, except we truly enjoyed hanging out with family!
With lots of laughs and fun we really had a wonderful weekend!

 Pretty gook looking guy! No one would guess he's a grandpa, three times over....

Breanna had an "Ultimate Frizbee" game Saturday morning...that was truly a highlight of our trip...Landon and Tiff really wanted to get out on the field to play...!

Tiffany drove from Rexburg to be with us. It always get fun when they get together! You wouldn't catch Landon doing this while eating dinner with just mom and dad....LOL!

Breanna took us on a private tour through the new BYU Broadcasting building. We felt quite priviledged and honored to have a tour of this new "state of the art" building.
