"ENJOY THE SUNSHINE"

"SUMMER TIME"
Summer is a busy time of year!
Sooooo.....I thought I'd post some of the many things our families have been doing!
First off...going back in time....can you find Grandma Tingey in this picture of my old neighborhood friends during a summer back in the 50's????(yup, lil ole me in the Orange shirt) haha
Courtney and Cassie know how to have fun in the summer! Nothing like going out with the horses, for a fun day!
Kade, Jordan, Lauryn and Bryton like spending time jumping in Grandma's leaves
in the fall!
Paul, Tyler and Nate really like going on the 4x4 Jamboree in Fillmore
to have some 'men time' fun!!!
On a little different note, Paul's sweet mother passed away and her funeral was held on
Aug 23, 2010 in St. George.
This is a picture of Paul, his sister Cindy, and brother Dean.
Paul and Kim at the St. George Cemetary

This summer also found family participating in 5K Runs!
Here are Tyler's family and neighbor after running in a Orem 5K!
It was a family affair!
(Lauryn had a butterfly painted on her face, while she waited w/their neighbors wife)
Opps...don't know why this pic is sooooo little...
Our family got together for Strawberry Days!!
Tyler and Kade, Charity, Colton and Lindsey all ran in the Strawberry Days 5K!
All placed well in the race!
sorry Tyler, the picture of you and Kade wouldn't download! :(
gee, these pic's are soooo dang small!
Oh, and we can't forget that Grandma T finally retired from Food Service in May after 23 years!
This a picture of my ladies:
Melanie Rymer, Dalila DeMurguia, Anna Mata,
Pam Smith, Haily Prestwich Williams, Lisa Adamson,
(absent was Carrie Liddle, whose hubby was in Huntsman Cancer Hosp)
Me and our School Secretary and my friend, Lisa Larsen.

Pam in the background, Me, our Vice Principal Colleen Green, and Lisa Larsen.
Kim, Collen lost her husband in Viet Nam also. Colleen and I also worked
together at Lehi Jr High, and have remained good friends. :)
What a dorky smile I have! I sooo don't like my pic taken! haha

And what would summber be without the County Fair! Here is a picture of my
Nephew Mike Christiansen Hansen, with his miniture, live, steam locomotive!
Mike and his dad, my brother, were asked to show all their Train Memoribilia
at the fair! Mike's locomotive has all the exact gauges etc, as a regular size one!
And you can ride on it too!

Of Course, summer wouldn't be summer without the flowers!
One of my Day Lilies....
My beautiful Rust colored Iris


The 4th of July was celebrated in Sp Fork and Fillmore this year, with parades, picnic's and of course.....FIREWORKS!!!!

And...summer would not be summer with the summer storms, and the beautiful
cloud formations! These first pictures are in Sp Fork, right after a quick rain shower!
Cotton Ball formation

Beautiful, I think this cloud formation looks like our Saviour is standing there, holding out his
hands...
This Picture shows it all...the sky turned Orange, as the sun went down...
Absolutley Gorgous!!!.....

But then, some of the storms got a little wild!! This was the 2nd wild storm in about an hour that
passed thru....
And this was the 'funnel cloud' that formed over grandma's house!!! A man from Orem
got a picture of the whole funnel cloud, it was rolled up like a cinn roll! The funnel, which
didn't touch down, was right over us!!! Exciting!!!
Poured down rain, hail, Thunder & lightning!!!

And of course, what's summer without Irrigations!!!! Here it's just starting to come out
on the lawn. Want to jump in and cool off your tooties???




AND......
Last but not least, MISS KATIE, sleeping in a bowl! Yup, her new fav place to sleep
is in GG's pretty glass bowl on my dining room table!
What a crazy cat!Don't quite know how she get her whole self in that bowl, but she does, and sleeps there
for hours!
"Serving up Miss Katie" haha
....."Oh please, just let me sleep in peace you guys!"

:)




















































Kim reminded me this morning, that I haven't posted anything since March. Opps...Guess I




























have just been putting everything on the family blog! haha So....I'll do one big catch-up!
