Palmyra Cemetery

I couldn't remember the last time that I had been to my Papaw's grave, so we went to visit it while were in Indiana. We took a picture with his grave. His name was Raymond Libka. There is also a picture with my great grandparents, Elmer and Lucille McCutcheon. The kids are pictured with my great uncle Earl Rudolph's grave. Devon held Lizzy's hand and walked her around the cemetery. She was fine with it for awhile, but then she was done holding his hand. It was sweet seeing them walk together and hold hands, though. It was hard to get a real good picture there, because the sun was so bright in everyone's faces that we kept squinting.



Father's Day

We went to Salem, IN to visit family on June 18, so we were also there on Father's Day. We went to my Mammaw's house that day to visit with her and my Aunt Judy and Uncle Jim.




That evening, we had a picnic at Lake Salinda. Devon is feeding the ducks here. Elizabeth was throwing bread into the water, but then she started eating it instead when I handed it to her!

Bryce, Devon, and Elizabeth

Lizzy is wearing her slippers in the picture with Bryce. She loves shoes and always wants to wear them, so sometimes we are able to negotiate and get her to be satisfied with wearing slippers instead. In the other picture with Lizzy, she is sitting on a remote control Barbie car that we have. She and Devon have fun playing with it.

Silly Kids!

I just took some random cute shots of the kids a couple of months ago. Lizzy likes to "help" me dust, so here she is dusting my bedroom dresser. She is also really funny when she eats sandwiches. She opens them up and eats what's inside of them, so her bread falls all apart. You probably can't tell, but she had peanut butter all over her face in the picture with the sandwich.

For some reason, when we put Devon into time out, a lot of the time he knocks over his basketball hoop. One day he started hollering for me from his room and I came in to find him like this. I wouldn't get him out until I had taken a picture! Lizzy has her binky in a couple of these pictures, but we are done with the binky now. Yay! We were constantly losing them, so I am glad to be done with it.

Wedding Reception continued

Here are Grandma and Lizzy and Kevin and Lizzy. The picture of Devon is just one that he asked me to take of him. He generally loves to pose for pictures. Emily and Mom did the decorating for the reception, and you can see some of what they did behind Kevin and Lizzy. The colors were pastel colors, so Grandma wore green, Kevin, Mom, and Emily wore yellow, and my dress had green, purple, and pink on it.

Wedding Reception

Mom and Kevin were sealed for time and all eternity in the Rexburg, Idaho temple on May 14th. They had already been married civilly, of course, but now they were able to be married in the temple. We had pictures taken right outside of the temple in our white outfits. It was a gorgeous day. The sun was shining and there were beautiful flowers by the temple. After that, there was a reception at the church building that Mom, Kevin, and Emily used to attend in Rexburg. Bryce, the kids, and I used to go to that ward building, too. Kevin made 13 pies and there was a sheet cake with little yellow and purple tulips. There were also trays of mini sandwiches and vegetables and dip. We had water punch to drink (it's like a very light lemonade). These pictures were taken at the reception. Mom had collected a bunch of family pictures and had them set out on a table for everyone to see. She also set out a big picture of the Rexburg temple that I had put together for them as a wedding gift. It was a very nice day. Our friend, Tommy Wright, who lives in Texas, was able to be here for the sealing and he is pictured with me, Bryce, and the kids.

Cute Little Kids!

The kids sure do love wearing hats and sunglasses! They have had a lot of fun playing outside now that the weather is getting warmer. Today the weather is perfect! Finally! I am looking forward to wearing shorts and capris and flip flops! Woo hoo!
