Granddaughters/Stampede/Carme Visit

Since Avril is close-by we tend to get lots of pictures of her for the blog. However, we also have beautiful Brittney, who lives in Azusa, CA as a wonderful granddaughter. Here is a shot of Brittney from around Christmastime that we haven't posted before. She turns 12 yrs. old later this summer!

June 5th was supposed to be our ward Fathers' & Sons' camp out. But with severe weather predicted we called it off (although several ward fathers and sons went anyway and had a good, if wet, time). So the next morning we held the breakfast at the nearby Riverside Hollow Park and enjoyed the food, fellowship, and Runar Anderson's message anyway, under the Bowery roof. Meanwhile, Carme (Jesse's mother) had come up from California to visit her sons. So later that evening we all went up to Romney Stadium to see Jesse shine in the Stampede win over the Gladiators from Montana.

Here's the group waiting for the start of the game. That's Gayle with Avril, Alicia (#11 is Jesse's number), Shelby (Jesse's younger brother), and Carme.

Avril, smiling during the game. She had fun!

Jesse with wife and daughter, post win. Jesse had several great catches, including a touchdown!

Jesse works three jobs and here he is after dinner at our house with Carme, Shelby, Alicia, Jared, Gayle, and me. We caught a DVR'd "So You Think You Can Dance?"
