 This is my favorite picture of Emma...
 Little Matthew Jr......enjoying the summer day at Grama and Papa's
 Emma was hesitant at first, but she loved the hay ride with Aunt Tami....
 Grama and Isaiah on a hay ride....
 Isaiah taking a bath in Grama's sink.....he sure loved it!!!!  I said he got more water on the floor than all the grand babies over the years put together....
 Now that's relaxing!!!
 Climbing under the end table.....playing with the books...
 Emma trying to find a place to put her pony....
 More of Isaiah climbing under the end table...
He was having such a good time outside!!!!!

Great Memories....But Sadness!!

 Sam was soooo excited to see Grampa!!
At the Aquarium in Sandy, Utah
 This is what you mostly saw Grampa and Sam doing!!!  Working in the garden...
 Annie and Ryan wanted to make cookies...they did an awesome job!!!
 A visit to Grampa's farm wouldn't be complete without a hay ride!!!
 Visiting Grama Van Wagoner....
 And...Grama Cengiz
 We toured the Conference Center....
 Our last party was at Belle's house....swimming and a yummy picnic!!
 Gina and Tami visiting in the shade...

NY Girls!!!!

 Little Lucy on Grama and Grampa's bed...
This is the very first time she got 2 pony tails....and grama did it!!!
 I took the girls to Iceberg...Hannah wanted a large cone, and so I got Lucy a small, thinking they would be little.  Boy was I wrong!!!!!!
 Lucy loving her cone....
 It's too hot grama!!!
 Hannah had to put hers in a bowl, cause her cone crumbled....
 We went to Bountiful to visit Andrew and Gina, and "Baby Belle!"
 Belle instantly connected to Hannah....
 Brother, sister....
 It was soooo hot.....even the pool was hot!!!!!
 Grama and Belle having a moment on the porch!!!!
 Uncle Andrew was so kind and put the large umbrella over the pool, and then it was cool!!!!
 Belle and Hannah playing with the squiggle hose...
Belle, sharing Grama's water with everyone....she really didn't stick it up my nose.....:)

I"M BACK!!!!

 One of our MANY eating events in the Grand Hotel Dining Room
 This is our bright, colorful room
 The Little Stone Church...we attended a Sunday morning service....
 Lake Huron behind us....
 This was on the dessert menu every night, and every night but one we ate this....
 True story,   they asked everyone who walked in if they were guests...
 "Is It You?  Is it?  This is where Richard met Allyse for the very first time!!!
 After a long hot day having fun...we went back to our room and glenn surprised me with this rose and a bottle of Sparkling Cider.
 My Entree one night....
 Glenn's Entree the same night...
 Enjoying dining in the Grand Hotel....
 We spent many evenings sitting in a white rocking chair on the front porch of the Grand Hotel, taking in the beautiful scenery.....and people watching...
 This is my Mr. GQ!!!
 Every view was so breathtaking!!!!
 We went on a carriage tour of the middle core of the Island...
 This is when we got off of our carriage ride tour.....Our driver seriously looked like Jake Gylenhal, (I know I misspelled his last name, but he is the actor!!!)
 The Grand Hotel on Macanac Island, Michigan.....
 More of breathtaking views!!!!!!
I've returned from a long, long break.....I guess I've been preoccupied with Sugarlene's Cakery Bakery, and grandbabies.....This is one of our dinner salads........
