My Mom the Gardener

 My dad used to say that he never planted a garden

bigger than his wife could take care of.

 Well look at her little garden now.

Her stake put in some grow boxes and she

shares one with another couple of people. 

 Isn't it the greatest?

 They have tomatoes, potatoes, squash, radishes, cucumber,

peppermint, and some marigolds, all in one tiny little box!

 Some of the grow boxes have cute little decorations in them like this butterfly. 

 And this gnome!

 Here is Mom with some radishes that she picked

and we took them home and put them in a salad

for lunch!

Yum!!

Crazy June

 Here are a few things we did in June! 

We had a farewell for this girl!

We went to Bruges and had yummy waffles. 

 We wished Mark (the BEST Father)

the BEST Father's Day ever!

 We watched a freaky snake in a tree on our hot dog roast.

 I just love this picture so I had to put it in!

 We said goodbye to our baby/

 sister.

 Then dropped her off at the MTC!

 And tried not to be sad as she walked away!

 Then we put Italian flags on Grandpa and Grandma's graves

in honor of Paige & their joint mission!

We drove to Tooele to Sostanza Grill just to have a hamburger.

 Gabe showed us his "alien" eyes with Grandpa's cuff links.

 

And we celebrated with some of our favorite people

for Tiffany's birthday!

It has been a rough but wonderful month!

You can read more of what we did on

Now you see it and Now you don't

 On Friday, June 1st

I came home to a big rope tied around our 30 year old pine tree

 Which had gotten too big and messy.

 Within mere minutes it was down

thanks to the help of many wonderful

friends and family.

 One last photo by the tree that had been

the backdrop to many, many photos over the years.

 Then everyone went to work with gloves, loppers and chain saws.

 Soon - all the branches were off and in the dumpster.

 Thanks to Courtney for keeping Jadyn safely out of the way

or was that the other way around? 

 The neighbors showed up with really big toys

and helped so much!

 As an added bonus - Neil is an expert

with the Bobcat and with surgeon like precision

he dug out and picked up

 the huge stump

and tossed it in the dumpster!

 And then it was gone!

Seriously - in the space of about 2 hours there was

hardly a sign that the tree had ever existed.

Thanks so much to:

Josh, Cassie & Jadyn

Matthew, Sherryl and Jaclyn

We Visited Mickey!

 My two beautiful daughters @ SLC Airport

waiting for our flight to Disneyland!!!

 We flew into the Long Beach Airport

because it was cheaper

and we LOVED the little airport there.

 Upon landing we headed straight for the

Los Angeles California Temple.

It is a beautiful temple. Very large,

and the murals are spectacular.

 Then we went to the SnoBar for ice cream

that looked like roast beef.

 But tasted like heaven!

 Then we checked into our hotel.

 Right across the street from Disneyland!

 The next morning we attended

Church in the Anaheim 1st Ward.

 Then headed to Newport Beach!

 Where we enjoyed a little fun in the sun

and water!

 It was just beautiful!

 The next 3 days were all about Disneyland!

 I wasn't feeling it so I skipped

the first Splash Mountain experience.

 I was standing around waiting for the family.

 And all these people were taking pictures of the riders.

So I just snapped away at one party.

And low and behold - it was them!

Seriously it was a fluke!

Then we just did our thing.

 Went to the Bug's Life show!

 Seen here in our bug gear!

 We saw Minnie,

 toured Toon Town,

met Mickey,

 shopped,

 and just enjoyed ourselves!

 We 4 adult Wightman's never tire of Disneyland!

 Seen here in California Adventure.

 The next Splash Mountain experience

 I joined in . . . don't ya love how

Paige stole the show here?

Then we went home.

See you again soon Mickey!
