I had am emotional last couple of days. But, it was mostly good. It just brought many sweet memories of two people I miss very much.

This last Saturday, the 20th, was my aunt Mary Etta's 80th birthday. It was also my mother-in-law's birthday and my granddaughter Jaycelyn's first birthday. My cousins Shauna and John invited me and the girls to dinner to celebrate. It was so good to see them all. It was a bit hard for me though to see Uncle Arnold and Aunt Betty and Aunt Mary Etta without dad. But I think he would be happy I was there to represent him.

AND . . I've already mentioned this, but they finally got their deer! We are pretty excited (even if we do have to have deer meat for the next several months.)

And then, yesterday would have been my mom's 82nd birthday. It was a beautiful day. The weather was gorgeous and I got to play with the grandkids. Here is Jaxon. He rolls around, and gets stuck under the cutting table.

I know I am very blessed by what my parents taught me and know that they loved me. I hope they know I love them.

It's been quite awhile since I have sent any info about our family. My life is full; busy and hectic. It's all good though. I am truly blessed and you will now see just how blessed I am.

Here's Tyler just leaving for the Priesthood Session. He forgot his Sunday clothes, so he raided Grandpa's (Dayle's) closet and came up with a dress shirt, a lovely and always in style sweater, and the best, you can't see. He wore GP's old working shoes. They are black loafer-like. The boys told us Tyler fit right in with the styles of Midway.

We spent a couple of days up at the cabin in Midway during the conference weekend. It was so beautiful. The girls had a great time. As you can see they love to have their picture taken. They posed for me.

Grandpa always has to get a bit of office work in. But, what a place to do it! The cabin is so much fun and the company was even better.

Jayce loved being outside and she is always up to posing for pictures.

Kylee can always be found reading the books.

Kaja got a hold of my glasses I need for crocheting. She looks a whole lot cuter than I do in those things.

Jax was rolling in his blanket. He covers the whole room in no time.

Here's THE DEER. Finally! It's been years since the David Jeffs' clan have had a deer. The story is great. The boys admit to a bit of 'buck fever'.
