I wanted to show Regan what my camera can do with a black background highlighting only the red. Are you all sick of my flower pictures?

It's wonderful to have Laura home this weekend, and with Laura, comes Anna! No Oliver here because it is a Facer Family weekend with Austin coming home from his mission.

senior prom pics

This is my personal favorite!!!

Such beautiful girls! I'll let Chelsea pick out her favorite pictures tomorrow and we'll put more on.

Our beautiful flowers

Isn't this Iris just beautiful? I got the clipping from the neighbors who used to live where Irenen and Jerry now live. They moved to Maine.

Dad planted the beautiful petunias around the Maple tree.

Last Sat. dad spent the entire day putting in sprinklers to the brick planter and planting these white flowers there along with the hybiscus. We really do love our yard.

A look around the yard

The top is Swiss chard and we will be having it for dinner tonight. My tomatoes are coming along nicely. I actually ate my first one yesterday. YUM!!! The garden is doing well but I am not sure if the broccoli is supposed to look like that and the red leaf lettuce is growing upward and narrow. I'm a little puzzled. The squash looks great though and needs just another week or so.

Quilt show

Irene and I went to a quilt show Sat. It was a very small one. I always have fun at them though. Dad has mentioned that I haven't made him a quilt yet. I found the fabric I WON'T be using!!!

Brian and I stayed at the St.Francis on Union Square on Sunday and Monday for a banking convention.

Such a cute little smile. There were no smiles when we took him for his six month pictures.

Some time with grandpa.

Above is Carson giving mama a kiss. What a beautiful family!!!

What a beautiful face. His first carrots. These jammies are 12-18 months!!!

Chelsea Photos @ Mormon Prom

CHELSEA LEAVES FOR MORMON PROM

Here is Chelsea before the Mormon Prom in her shiny golden "Greek Goddess" dress. Since Mom was gone to San Francisco, I with I could say that I helped Chelsea get ready -- but, I primarily stayed out of her way. She went with Bryan Collins, which pleased her since she was able to wear 4" heals without towering over her date -- they make a cute couple.

This is a closer look at Chelsea's new shoes, which she bought Wednesday night (and I am sure she would want you to see). They are holding the dance at the Gene Autry Museum down by the Griffith Park (Western Theme). It's the third time we've done the Mormon Prom, which involves, I think, 10 surrounding stakes. Really a nice event -- fun to see even the non-Mormon girl friends wearing fairly modest dresses (as opposed to the cocktail dresses they were from school dances). The photo to the right is of Leah Wetzel, Kimberly Johnson, Ally Bernstein and ?.

I may be a little biased, but I think Chelsea was probably the cutest girl there!

They had a big group of kids turn out for the dance and took at bus down to the Museum where they had a big dinner (notice how Chelsea was given the key "center" position in the photo below -- obviously I wasn't the only one that thought she was the cutest). Anyway, I'm sure a fun time will be had by one and all.
