Isn't it wonderful that life renews itself like it does?
Also, Happy Birthday to Ben! (Aug. 30th) Ben and Linda and Josh and Beth came over yesterday evening to celebrate his birthday with us and eat some homemade soup and home-baked bread.. Mark's still working on the bread recipe.
We went on a walk after we ate, which was pretty exciting 'cause Josh wanted to hold Leto's leash and he was running with him and, of course, Josh fell down. He said Leto "pulled and pulled!" Then Josh slid out of the stroller and landed in the road again. And Leto had many admirers, including one young kitty who came up and stood on his hind legs to sniff Leto. He wanted to follow Leto home!
Mark has a second interview on a job as a Exec. Director in No. Idaho this Wednesday. That's pretty exciting! It sure beats not hearing from anyone. Mark's talked to others, too, but hasn't had other interviews, so wish him luck on this one!
What else? Hmm...not much. We're going to email you a correction about Seth's information. We got some much-needed rain last week. It's cooler weather today, and I am wearing a sweater. Leto and Tut are still spoiled. Last night after I hugged him, Josh told me, with his hands up as if to keep me away and his finger pointing, "Okay, that's 1 hug - only 1 hug a day. Only One Hug!" It was so adorable!
Beth was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. She rolled around on her blanket, played with toys, and almost crawled. She's getting so big!
Melinda brought her kids over the other day, and then Alaina stayed for a few hours longer, by herself. The next day, I believe, Tristan came and stayed a few hours by himself. I love it when they do that!
They both wanted to watch movies, so Alaina watched The Last Unicorn and My Neighbor Totoro, and Tristan watched Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky. You can't beat those Miyasaki movies - kids and grownups both love them!
Tristan is so grown up and loving, and Alaina is so quiet and beautiful when she's visiting on her lonesome. What a difference that makes. She ate scrambled eggs with us, and they both enjoyed suckers while they watched their movies. Thank you for sharing your children, people!
Pictures from our visit to Salt Lake City to see our friend Julie
a couple of weeks ago
Fire and water fountain show at City Creek Mall
Julie and her fiancee JR
Isn't she cute?
 | |||||||||
On the way back, we drove by our house down in Chubbuck and we snapped this photo. I think it looks good. I can't wait till we can fix it up outside and help the inside in little ways. I love that house and land and street and neighborhood behind us. I don't like some things about there - mainly being so far away from Idaho Falls and family and ward!
The fountain show was better than the photos show, and it was set to music.
Anyway, it was a fun trip!
Well, I'd better close and post this. You never know when you'll lose a post, right?
Take care! We love you!

Hey your old house is the last picture, right? it looks like the renters are taking good care of it. And your trip to SLC looks so fun, I keep wanting to go to that new mall there. Your pictures of yourself are really great- I think now you look even better and you have healthy pretty coloring. I hope I get your genes of looking so good as I age!
Thanks for posting about the baby, I didn't know Doc got the picture onto the computer, that's nice! Then I can see the picture way better than trying to see it from my tiny phone screen! She's cute. :) I'm going to try to create a new blog asap! But I also just really don't want to go to the hassle, and maybe I'll just pay the upgrade fee... hmm. well check my blog soon for updates!
Oh, and gooood luck to Doc!!! We hoped he would get a job in casper but idaho isn't too far from us! Hope it goes wellz!
And your picture of the SLC Temple is beautiful! I want to print it on canvas and hang it up! I love it so much!
Oooh, a picture of your old house! It looks good! I asked Audrey if she recognized it and she knew what it was.
All your grand kid visits sound nice! Since we got to come this summer then I don't feel sad for my kids being left out across the country. I bet Alaina and Tristan LOVE going over there by themselves.
The fire and water show looks so neat! I would have liked to s\have seen the mall some more while we were there. We spent MAYBE 10 minutes at that mall. We wanted to hurry and get to the choirs practice at the conference center, plus we were all really tired.
Good luck to Doc!!!! I hope they offer him a job! Second interview is pretty good! I will cross my fingers and say prayers for him.
I'm glad you posted again!
By the way, you should read Still Alice, if you haven't read it already. Very good, but will make you paranoid about Alzheimers!
Oh, I too thought your Salat Lake Temple picture was SOOOO pretty!
