June 7th

Ah, Sunday! We went to Provo to go to church with my Uncle James & his family. Afterwards we came back to my Granddad's & just hung out all day. It was great to listen to his stories & play with little Samuel. This is my darling little cousin Samuel with my girls....


Here's a picture of my girls with my Aunt Heidi & Samuel...


We laugh that this is my Aunt & Uncle. In fact, James was trying to tell my girls I was his cousin for a second. He's a whopping 4 months older than me, but he's my Uncle! Here's a pic with James, Me & my Granddad...

Along with telling stories, reviewing pictures & geneology stuff we spent a lot of time trying to figure out the Rubix Cube. This was something my brother Michael could whip out in no time. I never figured it out. It bugged Erik to no end & he wanted to know how to do it. (The answer to that one will come in a few days.) In the mean time, here's some other fun pics...

After the girls were in bed we spent over 2 hours with my Granddad explaining how to complete it to us. It was a lot of information in a short period of time. Most of that information was lost by morning. Neither of us are good at retaining info.

This picture was actually taken on Monday, but I'm placing it here. This is a picture of my Granddad, me & my Uncle Doug. He's my Granddad's brother that I haven't seen since I was 5. He comes for cancer treatments & stays with my Granddad. I was glad I got to see him - even if it was only for a minute!

This was our last day with my Granddad & I was sad to leave him. This was our first visit without my Grandma Gwen being their. Her presence was greatly missed! I worry about my dear Granddad without her around. I am so thankful I've been able to see him more the past couple of years, though. He's such an amazing man. I love to hear about his adventures. We were able to hear about a lot of his traveling adventures this trip. I wish I could stay for a month & just hear everything! He's had quite the life. I hope to see him again really soon!
