Art and Elva Landon Family Reunion June 30, 2012

Randy's side of the family Reunion at the Osgood Shelter.  We were the only ones there representing Ira Landon.  It was so good to have the girls and their families with us. The surviving older generation is Ora Albertson, Jerry Landon, Jeannie Landon (Sister-in-law), Jerry Landon and not attending the reunion Ira Landon.  

Oliver's swimming lessons in Logan, Utah

I took Oliver to his last swimming lesson in Logan.  Henry came with me and played by the pool.  Oliver passed off level  4. 

Hays leaving Logan, Utah

Melanie got a Professorship in Iowa so their family is moving from Logan, Utah to Cedar Falls, Iowa.  They are loading up the AFB truck to be hauled there.  We are going to miss their family.

Relay for Life

 Randy and Hillary came to the Opening Ceremonies and did a lap for the cure.

 Some of the "Curves for a Cure" Team members at the booth.  

Luminary Ceremony. This is the highlight of the night.  You light candles and but them in bags all around the track.  You do one silent lap in memory of the peoples who's names are on the bags.  They lite up bags with the word "Cure" and it was in the stadium seats.  Also they let off  "Lanterns of  Hope"  that floated into the night sky.  It was just amazing and very moving.  

Susan's Birthday June 21, 2012 (59)

The Landon Family took Randy and I out for dinner for my birthday and gave me some nice bath and body stuff.   Raquel made me a birthday cake to celebrate my birthday.  It was fun to share it with their family.

 Holden and Keagan watching their mother cut the cake.

Ashley sent me flowers for my birthday.  She is in Switzerland right now.  

Randy gave me a new office chair and stuff  to use for a bike ride.
 Thanks to every one for the birthday wishes also.  

Road Trip Day 5- Helena, Montana to Rexburg, Idaho

 We went to church in the Helena 5th Ward with Nannette and Grandpa Landon for Fathers Day.  Grandpa Ira Landon is 91 years old.  He is doing good for his age.

 This little church with a cemetery around it, is out in the middle of nowhere.  Kind of cute to see.

Ennis, Montana.  You cannot go through Ennis without seeing the large statue of the fisherman.  There use to be a mule train replica on the cafe in town but it was gone this year.  Now they have a statue of a fish.  Things do change.

We drove over 900 miles on our road trip.  Most of the time we were able to go with the top down on the car.  We went over mountain passes, dry dessert, green forrest, and just lots of beautiful country.  We do live in a gorgeous area.  Coming from Henry's Lake area to home the wind was blowing so hard it about pushed you off the road.  Wind gusts were up to 45 miles per hour.  Only in Idaho.  We had a great time.  

Road Trip Day 4- West Yellowstone, Montana to Helena, Montana

West Yellowstone is unique with the painted buffalos all over town.

Big Sky, Montana  The line of flags going up to this chapel are amazing to see.

 Three Forks, Montana.  There was an article in the "Post Register" that said to stop and see this quaint town.  A cute memorial to honor Sacajawea.

 The old hotel that was a  classic back in the railroad time and has been restored to a luxury hotel.  It was beautiful.  We stopped and ate lunch there.

Nannette (Randy's sister) fixed us a wonderful dinner at her house when we arrived.  Grandpa Landon opened his Fathers Day gift a day early.  It was good to visit with Nan and grandpa.
