Macy is such a sweet natured little girl. So content and

Our fourth(5th) of July was spent with Mel's side of the family.

They try and get together and have a pot luck and invite all

family members that are there. We had lots of yummy food,

sat and gabbed forever, and enjoyed each other's company.

Then it was off to Mike and Linda's for fireworks. We had a

great time. Wish everyone could have been there!

Julie and David Archuletta

LOVED IT

Singing the last number

Man, Julie and I have had some summer. First it was off

with my Mom to get to Utah in time to go with Alaine to

the temple. Then it was her wedding. THEN, we took off

the next day for Idaho where we saw David Osmond and

David Archuletta in concert. One of the funner things

about that, is Julie and I got to go into a meet and greet

with David A. Our timing was just impeccable. The stars

were aligned....ha ha ha ha. Julie always jokes that he is

her future husband, so this may be the beginning..... = )

Julie was even bold enough to ask for a hug at the end

of the meet and greet. I wish my camera hadn't been low

on battery, because I caught the very end. DARN

David Osmond was also performing. He was enjoyable

also. It definitely was the night of "David's"

While in Idaho we checked out BYU-I, Tuscany and

Rexburg. Visited with my aunt Pauline and Uncle Doug

and their 3 boys and families. It was a fun time.

My Niece Alaine got married today

Justin and Alaine----just married

So, today my niece Alaine was married. It was a very special day

for the family. Tyler was able to come up with Mel, and we all

got to be here, except Melissa. Poor Melissa, lives so far away.

After the sealing, we went to the luncheon where we had Cafe'

Rio. YUM, with a capitol Y. Tonight it will just be desserts at

the reception, but that sounds like a perfect ending to a wonderful

day. Julie is a bridesmaid, along with Shannon, Ashley

and Julieann, Alaines half-sister.

Congrats Alaine and Justin

Julie graduated!! She is very happy to be done with high school.

She walked in with Ali and sat next to him and also right on the

end of the row, so we got good pictures of her. At least Melissa

did. I'll add those to the post when I get them from her. She is

the first child to have all her siblings at her graduation. That

was fun for me! She also had her Grandma Stallings there.

We had gone to Lucille's barbecue beforehand. Got some
cute cousin good-bye's there also.

Now it's on to college!
