Weekend wonders

We went to Neil & Sara's to help with installing tile in two of their bathrooms. Neil gets the fun of ripping up the old flooring in the master bathroom and toilet areas.

 While Neil was putting down the tile, I was cutting the tiles to fit, I am sure cutting was more fun.

Placing one of the cut pieces into place by the door way.

All the tile in place, Neil & Sara will start the grouting, after letting tile setup a few days.

 We took a trip to Hoover Dam. The weather was 108, so we didn't walk around very much. Only for a  few pictures.

 Hoover dam and new span bridge.

Fun weekend with our kids.
Grandma and Ethan played with Sydney the whole day,

 The Span bridge built so travelers don't have to drive over Dam, any more. Saving a lot of time.There is also a walk way on the bridge, if someone wants to look down to valley floor in front of the Dam. We will do that someday when it is cooler.

Back home, Utah fluffy clouds, bright blue sky...

Garden of plenty.

We have three garden boxes that we planted in this spring. They measure 4 ft. by 10ft with a central watering system. It is great to see the plants grow and have vegies to share.

 This box has tomatoes, and cucumbers

 A closer look at the tomatoes.

 We have grown tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, green bell peppers, jalapenos, onions and water melon.

 Check out the sizes that have grown.

Mother's Day

I had a happy mother's day dinner prepared by Corinne and Chad. YUM!! It was great talking to all my children and being celebrated as their mother. All the years of  hard work raising 6 kids paid off with a wonderful family that bring me the greatest joy in my life. I am so proud of each one of them, and love them so much.
