Day two

Solveig Coles and Steve Thomas were married today in the Salt Lake Temple by President Hinkley's son in law. It was a very special day for them and my mom got to participate in the event. While they were doing that the boys and I were driving around the avenues. Hunter believes that I was born in the mountains in Utah and he wanted to see my mountain so I drove him to the hospital I was born in the Mountain and he was disappointed because He thought it would be more mountain rather than a hospital. Later we went to the church office building to go to the bathroom we walked around and I told them that this is where President Monson and the leaders of the church work every day, again not too impressed. But when we went out and they found the fountains then they were having a good day and spent a lot of time splashing water from it. After downtown salt lake we went to Tom's house. See next post.

June 23-26 2008 trip to SLC

Day one June 23 Liberty Park
Hunter after a long day in the park found ths swing in the small children's section and enjoyed a nice swing for a while. They had a great day at the park after a long drive in from Boise





Jesse is coming down the slide and having a fun day in the park.
When Hunter went to the car to get his swimsuit so he could go in the water features, Jesse was a huge help finding Hunter with us.



Here is Grandma Wiser enjoying a nice day in the park. We had a nice relaxing first day.

Taking Grandma Evans to the airport

We took Grandma Evans to the airport so that she could fly to Phoenix, Arizona to pick up a motorized scooter and a Dodge Van that is wheelchair assessable for Grandpa. So while we were in downtown boise we went to Julia Davis park, Discovery Center (kinda, we didn't pay to stay all day, we just looked in as far as they would let us) then on over to Kathryn Albertson's park and walked around the waterfall for a while. It was a great day. Then we had to get back home for the kids to have an afternoon play date with Josh and Jankin. We have kept in touch with these boys even though they moved to Nampa, just a mile away from Grandma Wiser. So the boys had a fun day.

1st day of summer break

Grandma wiser got the boys set up and let them paint the shed, she figured 10 minutes maybe 30 minutes top they would paint. Instead they painted for 3 hours and painted 3 of the 4 sides of the shed. The next day we got out the scaffoling and they contintued to paint up to as high as they could reach. It was amazing. When we get back from all of our trips we will let them take turns on the ladder to get the very top.

They love to paint and they loved having so much to paint. Once
started using a roller the painting went much faster and they really enjoyed themselves.

Jesse's Graduation from Kindergarten

Here is Jesse in the back row getting ready to start the program.
He was quite nervous and wasn't sure if he was going to say his
Nursery rhyme or not, but he calmed himself and did it great.


Phil, Hunter, Katie and Grandma Wiser were there to watch him.




It was so cute, his class met in an auditorium for 1/2 hour and let each child recite a nursery rhyme, then presented them each with a certificate of completion from Kindergarten. Jesse was quite nervous but he stood up there, held his teachers hand and recited eensy wincy spider. Then he got his certificate and came down and sat with us. It was very cute.

Baby Gracie is home

Today June 4th, 2008 Baby Gracie made it home at 2pm. As you can imagine the whole family is soooo excited. She got to see her cute pink nursery today for the first time. She will be 11 weeks old tomorrow. We have been waiting a long time for her to make it home.

I have been negligent on my blog. A lot has happened the last two months, and I will spend some time this week and make a few posts. I do like to blog but with the selling of our house, baby Gracie, Grandpa Evans, Phil and his work and most time spent is on my children. So enough said as to why I am not blogging and I will get caught up this week.

Reece's in town

Tuesday was a fun day. Jesse, Hunter and I went to Grandma Evans and picked up Tyler and Deb and went to Carl's Jr. The kids played for about 2 hours and Deb and I had a chance to visit. It's hard to keep up on events when you live out of town, so it was fun to have time to visit. Later Melissa, her boys and Kristin, Deb and Cindy came to my house for dinner. Fun time.
Gramps got home from the hospital today and slept the afternoon away. Grams was pretty tired herself.

Friday will be a big day for Baby Gracie. That is the day they plan on closing her chest cavity. Right now with it being open, they can remove the patch and change things, tighten, clean, remove swelling basically do what ever it takes to keep her stable, but on Friday they close that cavity and then it won't be easy to manage her heart.
