Lunch with High School Friends

Six of us from High School met at Red Lobster today for lunch. We had such a wonderful time. I love getting together with these wonderful friends. Lyn and I took some pictures and our waitress took our group picture. Here we are:

Hey, I think we look pretty good for 60? Don't you think?

This is Lyn Lynch and me.

This is Sue Maxwell and Kathy Rudelich.

This is Lora and Linda.

We had such a wonderful time. I'm very thankful for friends and I'm really looking forward to doing this again SOON!!!

Afton's Birthday Party

We were invited to Afton's 6th birthday party last night. Juli made the best pizza, a great salad and a yummy grape salad that I would still like to get the recipe for. She also made lots and lots of Happy Birthday cupcakes. All the kids were excited about Afton's presents. In this video, everyone is singing happy birthday but Afton seems to be REALLY liking her new shoes that Ryan, Erin and Quentin gave her but then who wouldn't, they're adorable! Opa took this video. Thanks Opa!

Happy Anniversary

Today is Dave and my 18th Wedding Anniversary. The time has gone so fast and I'm more in love with him today then ever. What a sweet man. He's so kind to me and makes me feel loved and even though he has MS, he still makes me feel safe.

I love you my Dave, and I'm looking forward to the next 18 years. You're mine forever and I'm so very happy!!!

Beautiful Jackson

Stephanie had little baby Jackson on Saturday the 27th of June at 7:11 p.m. He weighed 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches long. We went to see them today and mother and baby are doing great. As you can see by this picture of Stephanie, she is very happy. Jackson looks so comfortable and peaceful. What a little doll.


Here's proud Grandpa Grangroth holding his newest grandchild. We can't wait to go see Stephanie and her family when she takes Jackson home. We are so happy for the Murdock family. Actually, we are pretty happy having another little grandson. He's gorgeous!

Fathers Day

On Father's Day, Trisha, Ryan and Reed took their Dad to lunch at Red Lobster. Well of course I went too and we had the best time. They bought him a Web Cam which he is really having a fun time with. He also heard from Stephanie and Robb and nice cards with fun money for him to spend. He's got sweet kids and he appreciated so much being remembered by them.
Thank you Grangroth kids for making his day!!!

A visit to Green River

I stayed with Jenni in Green River from Monday until Wednesday while Burke went to scout camp. We did a lot of great things and had so much fun. Here are a few pictures of what we did.


We had fun at the Park where we went a couple of times for the kids' lunch. The city pays for lunch just for kids. It's so much fun. They had burgers one day, hot dogs another day with chips and drinks. Then we stayed and played. After we went home, Jenni and I had lunch. No snitching off of your children's plates.
We also went to the Green River Museum where I forgot to take pictures, oops!

We went to the Thrift Store and found 8 cute place mats that cost $1.00 for all 8 of them if you can believe that. We took them home and made these cute bags. The dark bag is Kaleb's whose bag was made out of his dad's old jeans. Jenni had left over material from her darling bedspread Jenni and Burke made and we used those for the handles. It was so much fun and cost virtually nothing.

There's nothing like Ice Cream and Popsicle's on a hot Green River Day!


Wednesday we went to the beach which is a lake that has wonderful soft, white beach sand. It was so much fun. We had a great time.

I had such a wonderful time. Thank you for everything!

Fun with friends and family

Puck is a friend of ours from the Netherlands that Juli taught while on her Mission. Puck joined the church and has visited us when she comes to visit her daughter. She is staying with Dave and I for a week and we've had a great time. Puck and I picked up my sister Gitti (short for Brigitte)from the airport on Monday morning and then went to the Park City Outlets. We had so much fun shopping. After that we went to the movie "Angels and Demons" that evening with my friend Kaye Derrick. What a great day.

The next day the 3 of us met Ingrid at Morellia's for lunch. We went to Fashion Place Mall after that and had a great time. We also went to a church distribution center that I didn't even know was there over on Union Blvd. Bought garments and Lion House rolls and Berry pull-a-parts. Yum!!!

On Wednesday, Puck and I worked at Hildi's Gift shop and Gitti came with us until Ingrid came and picked her up. Gitti bought lots of fun things for her kids and grandkids. Ingrid and Puck found some fun things too.

I've been really horrible at blogging BUT have been doing some fun things. Dave and I went to Spokane to see Robb, Mary and their 2 little boys. We had a great time. Dave ordained Robb to a High Priest because Robb's been called into the Bishopric. Dave really felt honored to be asked to do that for his son. We had such a good time there. I still need to blog some pictures from that.
