Lily's Dance Class

 Lily at her Dance Class at the Little Gym.  She did so good.

June fell asleep but was cute when she woke up.  She just goes everywhere and is always happy.  We enjoyed so much tending the 2 little girls while Caleb and Hillary where out of town.  

The Museum of NATURAL CURIOSITY

 We took Lily and June to Thanksgiving Point and went to The Museum of Natural Curiosity.  What an amazing place.  We did not even see half of it.

 Both girl had so much fun playing in the different areas.

 We finished up at the Splash park

Water is always fun.  It tired the girls out and they both slept on the way home.

Tending the Barney Girls

We are tending the Barney Girls in Salt Lake.  The top picture is how we clean up June after eating lunch.  Lily just finishing up her lunch.  We are having a great time with the girls.

Aquarium

Randy and I took Lily and June to the Loveland Living World Aquarium.  Lily liked to roll the coins.  June just likes being places.

 June was just so happy and glad to be there.  She is such a calm baby and easy to take places.

 There lots of fish varieties.

Lily loved looking in the glass enclosures.  The sting ray was her favorite fish.  

Lily's pre-school

Hillary and Caleb left yesterday for a wedding in California.  Randy and I got to tend the girls while they were gone.  Lily had a get acquainted day at her pre-school and we were able to go with her.  She had a great time.  She liked playing with the Ponies the most.

First Day of School- Landon Grandkids

Holden and Keagan their first day of First grade and Kinsley's first day in 2014 at the Junior High.  Raquel packed lunches for the kids.  I think they look yummy!

Alta

We drove up the hill aways and saw the Alta Ski Resort.  I love all the yellow daisies that are still around.

Snowbird- Tuesday

 There were a lot of Stellar Jays flying around.  If you look close you can see one on the railing.

 There was a paved trail around the resort that we went for a walk on.  The views were gorgeous.  Lots of flowers still in bloom.

We had a great breakfast at  "The Fork Lift" that went along with our Bed and Breakfast package.  It was a wonderful present.  Thanks girls and your families.  

Snowbird- Monday

 Melanie, Hillary and Ashley and their families gave Randy and I a "Bed and Breakfast" package at Snowbird.  We checked into the Iron Blossom Lodge.

 It is a beautiful resort in the summer time also.

 We took the tram to the top of the hill.

 These are a few of the views on the way up.

 We made it to the top of Hidden Peak  11,000 feet.

 This guy took his bike up on the tram and then rode it down the mountain.  He took off fast and then was gone.  Wow, not on my bucket list.  Scary.

 On top of Hidden Peak

We had a great steak dinner at the Steak Pit.  We ate outside on the deck.  It was a beautiful night.

Zip

I have to post a picture of Zip when we are visiting in Utah.

June's 1st Birthday Party

 June turned 1 Year old on August 22, 2014.  We went down to Salt Lake on the week-end and she had a Birthday Party in the park.  She is such a doll and walking everywhere.  

 She loved eating her cake and playing with her new gifts.

 June had a lot of help opening her present from her cousins on the Barney side of the family.

Ashley, June and Lily at the park.

Temple Square- The Spoken Word

 Sunday Morning Randy, Ashley and I headed to  Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  The grounds are so beautiful.

 They held the "Music and the Spoken Word" in the Conference Center since it is summer and there are so many visitors around. It was a beautiful program.

Hillary, Lily and June's Visit

 Hillary, Lily and June stopped by our house on their way to Billings, Montana.  Randy is playing with the girls.

 June is growing so much.  She has my dad's (Dean Ricks) BLUE EYES.  They are beautiful.

Lily in the morning before they took off for Billings.
It was quite an adventure.  Randy, Ira, Hillary, Lily and June left Monday morning for Billings, Montana.  They stopped first at Uncle Forrest and left Grandpa (Ira) Landon there.  Then Randy took Hillary, June and Lily into Billings to spend a few days with Hillary's friend Mindy and her girls.  Randy went back and stayed at Uncle Forrest.  The next day Randy took his dad to Helena and spent the night at  Aunt Nan's and left grandpa there.  The following day he went back to Billings to get Hillary and the girls and then they drove to Rexburg.

Zip and Ashley's Visit

Ashley and Zip came for a visit for the week-end.  We went to the County Fair, saw the movie The Giver, and just had a great time with her.  Randy's dad was also here.  He does not like his picture taken.  

Ennis, Montana

Randy and I drove to Ennis, Montana to meet Randy's sister, Nan and Father, Ira.  We took Ira home with us to spend a few days.  While we were driving out of town we noticed a deer and her fawn just eating on a tree right there in town.  

Landon Family went camping at Heise

The Landon Family went camping to Heise and did the zip line.  Raquel posted on Istagram a picture before they went.  Holden said it was the best day of his life.

The Hays Family

 Ben has been working on a violin this summer.  He is very talented in what he can create.

 Melanie has been busy canning.  I can just hear the ping of the lids.  It reminds me of my mother.

 Oliver entered some of his Origami in the Polk County Fair in Oregon.  He got the Superintendent Award.

Henry entered a picture of snails and got a ribbon and chocolate.  I miss them being close by.
