Birthday month for the TWINS

 Well it seems I've been a GRANDMOTHER for 25 years now as the twins turn 25 on Sat May 27th. So happy I got double the pleasure and love from my first grandchildren. 


They are now adults: Emilee is married with a daughter Gabby, and working on completing her BA degree in Applied Technology from the online BYU-Idaho program and hoping to finish in early spring 2024.

Welcome family visitors

My oldest son Frank and his son Hakan came to visit on their way home from Willamette College in Oregon heading to Santa Fe, NM. It's been 9 years since they visited us last but we keep in touch via emails and phone calls. 


Happy Grandma/Mom w. grandson Hakan & my son Frank

I have 4 grandsons and here are some photos when all three of them visited 9 years ago. They have grown so much in the years between-it's amazing. Compare them then and now. All are teenagers now and tall.

Cinco de Mayo celebration

Our Church Relief Society had a fun celebration on May 9th of Hispanic culture and food. Lots of opportunities to visit and get to know each other better.

Always such fun decorations!

Some of the RS Activity committee that plans these activities

We even had live music and serenading by three amigos!

We sang along "You are my sunshine" and other tunes!
