JUNE 2017

June was an eventful month, with Stake conference, Charles' release as Stake President, Father's Day, and the birth of Abby and Kevin's first baby, Tessa Jean.

Girl's Camp- Brian Merrill, Charles, Barb, Amy Beesley. Amy and I represented Stake Relief Society and gave a message with a handout. It was Charles' last Girl's Camp where he addressed them as Stake President.

 Elder Watkins accompanied Elder Zwick at Stake conference. He and Charles are near the same age, and grew up in the same neighborhood in Orem.

 Elder Watkins, Elder Zwick, Charles, Pres. Merrill, President Hampton wearing leis Cucamonga sisters made for them.

 Janine St. Amant, Lisa Merrill, Barb, Cindy Hampton- The Lovely Wives. Our last conference together, and last dinner to prepare.

 Katy's family with Elder Zwick. We were blessed to have the Ellsworths join us for Stake Conference.

 The lei the Cucamonga sisters gave to me.

 Kelsey's Seminary graduation.

Father's Day

 Baby Tessa enters the world!

 Arriving home from the hospital.

 Abby took right to being a mom.

 I was very happy to get to spend a couple of weeks with Abby and Kevin and their newborn. I love tiny new babies, but especially when they are ours!

 Charles joined us for the last few days. He loves tiny grandchildren too!

 Katy made a lot of bows for Tessa.

 The Fourth of July. Kevin took right to being a dad too.

 Look how adoringly they look at each other!

MAY 2017

 We got to keep Scarlett for a few days while Joey, Katie, and the boys went to Disneyland.

Joey and Katie at the park.

 Joey actually caught a turtle at Redhill Park, and Jackson and Daniel loved it!

 We rented an airbnb place in San Clemente, where we stayed a few days, just for fun!

Rock Cow

There were lots of rocks on the beach, so we picked up pretty ones each time we walked on the beach. 

The place we stayed was a tiny loft, but very nice, and big enough for the two of us.
