Lots of Grandkids

Steve and his family came to town. We had a little gathering and of course Grandma had to take a picture. From left to right: Hailey, Caleb, Mason, Zachary, Mitchell, Jenna, Alexander, Olivia, Benjamin. (Mitchell is holding Jenna slobber side out! and Mariss was fixing her hair -- she had just come from swimming.)

Weekend In Idaho

Grandpa Wirkus had the two big Lindon Trees removed from his front yard. It looks pretty bare naked.

We visited Grandma's grave Saturday morning before driving to Tetonia for the Egbert Renion.

All of my dad's children and their spouses.

Summer at Home

This is how the flower bed looks after having to cut out the flowering cherry tree that was dying and killing off the flowers underneath.


While I was in Boston, Ross built this little rock wall by the plum tree and hauled away 1600 pounds of rocks from the base of it. Now it is covered in bark and the grandkids are going to have a hard time doing their rock disappearing act into the hedge!

Catching Up

I have been making beaded spiders -- just my latest obsession. One day Caleb came to play and lined them all up to go to pre-school.

David had his 38th birthday. He is now a year older than me.

Joseph's 6th birthday. All he wanted was Legos. Please note his interest in the birthday pie versus his gifts.



Tim started back to school after his two week summer break. He needed to get all spiffed up. This was before the haircut.

After the haircut

Two brothers at the pool. Trevor and Timothy

Trevor has to have his fingers in his mouth when he eats. This is a two finger bite.

Bona Fide

Our son Nate is now a Bona Fide Pathologist and will be moving to Lakenheath Air Force Base near London to use his skills -- unfortunately he is taking our four little grandchildren with him!!!

The Sacred Grove

Ross's latest painting is now complete. If any one wants a copy please let us know. It has to dry for about a week before it can be digitalized and printed. Jeri Albrecht ordered the original.

Pink Ribbon Project

I haven't taken many pictures lately but I do have a couple from my little Pink Ribbon Project for BYU Women's Conference. You may recognize some of the ladies in the group picture, and I am still finishing ribbons to be given to the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Just Some of the Ribbons
