bryan's birthday

we ate out at sweet tomatoes restaraunt tonight for Bryan's birthday. That was a happy time 26 years ago getting him here. One of the 7 greatest days of our lives. I may have to bump that number up now that we are getting all the cute grandkids I used to always count. Our marriage and then the birth of the four kids and our own births. hum...anyhow--we told the story of his birth again during the dinner (and mine too) we celebrated together

I had to laugh that Brianne has heard the story of his birth so many times. I love for each of you to know about each others birth and the events surrounding the birth. Hopefully you'll appreciated (at least its my goal) the joy we felt with the arrival of each of you into our family circle --that is why retelling the story is a part of the birthday dinner. --not a single pic to show from the restaraunt (I'm slipping with my photography) eek...but I wanted to add one thing Brianne did was make a cute card for him (a small booklet) with "26" things she loves about Bryan from A-Z using all the letters from the alphabet...very cute Brianne. He surely felt loved

some random outings for dad and I

Hi there family --we thought we should tell about some of the random things we've done lately or not so lately--we helped set up a wedding breakfast for our friends the Hunters and then also we have been canning grape juice, tomatoe juice, tomatoes whole, whole pears,, dried pears, bottled peaches, and frozen peaches and frozen nectar from apricots and canning applesauce. now all that season is coming to an end. Everyone come home and help us eat it all...please

one of you kids was saying that I should post some pictures of dad and I and not just the kids so here's one of the pictures including us that special day.

we are so happy that day.

dedication of Anson Call Monument

Bryan is not in this picture with Elder Oakes but when dad introduced himself to Elder Oakes
Bro Oakes gave him a big hug and remembered how they had spent time with dad and his parents and how Carolyn Call had lived with them in Chigargo when he and his first wife June were in law school. it was fun being there Elder Oakes gave a wonderful talk and dedicatory prayer. Elder Tingey from the quorem of the seventy did so as well.
