Other happenings in May

I  knew that there were probably things that I had forgotten to mention, so here they are.
 Zachary, Ethan and Parker were all in the dance festival at school and did a great job.  We were afraid that it might be canceled or changed to another day because we got 3 inches of snow the day before. But amazingly enough the weather was great.
We had a water leak in the ceiling of the theatre room and had to tear down part of the ceiling to find the leak and get rid of the parts that were wet.  Loren's cousin is going to come fix it for us.
The microwave caught on fire, so we bought a new one. While opening the new one we noticed that the prongs on the plug were all bent over to one side, back to the store it went.  And another one brought home.  This one works.

Memorial Day

We spent most of Monday with Loren's Parents and relatives.  We all meet at the cemetery were Loren's Grand and Great grandparent are buried.  We made them look amazing by cleaning the head stones and putting flowers and photo's around them.  The children and I then took a walk to see the big monuments that are there and found many of the prophets head stones.  It was exciting to see who was buried there and also humbling to see the people that have gone before us.

Loren's grandparents-The James 

This monument is for Hyrum Smiths, Josephs brother.  It tells a little about him and his life.

President Joseph F. smith

Wow he had many wives

                                                           Wife of Brigham Young

Wives of Wilford Woodruff

I thought this to be kind of funny...buried near this sight..
Father of Wilford Woodruff.

President Heber J. Grant

There are more Presidents of the church buried here, such as President Hinckley. But the cemetery is huge.  We have decided to go another day this summer and find more.

We had a big family BBQ at the James. It was fun catching up with people and happenings in their lives.
Thanks for the great food and your home Mike and Sharon.
