Kim is Relief Society President
30 June 2013

Kim was made the Relief Society President of her Summit Ward. If you want something done, and done right, ask a busy woman. They chose "Fortifying Our Foundations" as their theme and in trying to decide how to present it, Kim asked Melissa to help with a graphic. I think the result is perfect.

Katelyn Sings to the World
23 June 2013
On the 21st I went to the Church History Museum.
I especially like this stained glass depiction of the First Vision.
I know this actually happened and it has ruled my life.
23 June 2013 - WORK OF SALVATION broadcast from BYU Marriott Center
Katelyn was in the MTC at just the right time to sing in this missionary choir.
She is the fourth person up in the gold sweater.
It was so fun to see her.

50th Wedding Anniversary
31 MAY 2013
We loved our celebration at the Roof Restaurant with our daughters and Kari and Tom. But I got another special treat on our actual anniversary. A gift from Wayne in the beautiful blue box from Tiffany & Co. I have always thought it would be so cool to have something from Tiffany & Co. and this was my chance. I so love it.

Memorial Day
26 MAY 2012:
I have gained great strength from my ancestors and I am so grateful for them. It is good to remember their remarkable lives. I am including here photos of some of the burial places of those who mean a lot to me.
Mapleton Cemetery
We start each Memorial Day weekend with the cemetery in Mapleton, Utah. This is where Wayne's parents and his brother-in-law, Everett "Skip" Predmore, is buried. He was Relda's husband.
Wayne provides the chrysanthemums from him and from Relda. Both of them love yellow.
Bicknell Cemetery

Bicknell Cemetery
This is the red rock hillside from across the Bicknell Cemetery.
I find it much more beautiful now than I did when I lived in Bicknell as a Jr. in High School.
Bicknell, Utah Cemetery
The two headstones in the front are for my father's mother's mother and father,
Christian Johnson (6 Apr 1843 - 13 Dec 1925) and
Martha Lewis Johnson (10 Jun 1849 - 11 May 1885).
I have a lot of respect for who they were and their strong faith and the desires for excellence they exemplified throughout their lives.
We visited the gravesite of my Dad. It was a cold and windy day, but Mom was grateful to be able to visit here and place flowers.
Some of our other relatives buried in Bicknell are:
Dad's Brother:
Another of Dad's Brothers:
Dad's Brother, Uncle Clifford:
My Mother's Mother and Dad. Grandma & Grandpa Turner.
James Collier Turner (19 Dec 1893 - 30 Nov 1979) and
Hazel May Oldroyd Turner (18 Feb 1892 - 2 Jun 1976)
Grandpa went by Collier and Grandma by Hazel.
And there are the tombstones of five of their babies, three of them dying on the same day in 1879 and the oldest two babies dying at age seven months. I can't even imagine the heartbreak.
This is a present-day photo of Grandpa Turner's farmland.
The best mortician of all, our cousin Bruce Turner and his wife.
My favorite cousins (shhh, don't tell the others), Jamie King Warner & Karlene King Knudsen.
Wonderful cousins: Becky Morrell Pace, Linda Turner Smith, Sharon Turner Jackson
Then there is Wayne & me.
Love these two sisters: Aunt Claudia Turner King &
Mom, Dawn Turner Mangum

Wonderful pioneers: Benjamin Godfrey Turner (18 Aug 1854 - 21 Apr 1918) and
Susan Olds Turner (14 Apr 1857 - 10 Apr 1923)
Susan was born in South Africa and immigrated to Utah in 1860 with the only handcart company to experience no fatalities. Susan was three and she had an older sister, Mary Jane, and brother, Tom; her mother, Elizabeth, was 30 years old and traveled as a single mom.
Benjamin and Susan were my Grandpa Turner's parents.
And there are the tombstones of five of their babies, three of them dying on the same day in 1879 and the oldest two babies dying at age seven months. I can't even imagine the heartbreak.
They buried five of their 12 children.
Lyman, Utah, Grandpa & Grandma Turner's Farm
This garage/granary has many happy memories.
When Mom was young, she and her sisters/friends slept on the lower slanted roof in the summer months and loved watching the stars.
This is a present-day photo of Grandpa Turner's farmland.
Renewal of Family Relationships
After decorating the graves, we all met at the Sunglow Cafe.
When Cula Ekker owned it, she invented the Pickle & Pinto Bean Pie. Delicious!

Such a cute puppy came to visit.
I wanted to keep her, but so did her owners.

A Real Scare
January 2013
I think one of the reasons I quit recording our happenings was that it brought a heaviness to my heart. But I still think it is important to remember all the good that comes from some of our greatest trials.
On Saturday, January 5th Cherie was taken to the hospital by ambulance when Kari woke up in the middle of the night and felt there was something terribly wrong. He could not wake Cherie so he called an ambulance. She was taken to Intermountain Medical Center where she was treated for a drug overdose which was a result of the medications prescribed for her building up in her body more than expected. She had to stay at IHC until Tuesday, the 8th, until they finally had her meds regulated and let her go home. This experience was especially frightening. We were all so glad to have her back home.

Cherie and Jazzmin on the 15th of January.
The beautiful patchwork quilt was made by her Principal at Oakhills Elementary, Julie Larsen.
Jazzy always seemed to know when Cherie especially needed her for comfort.
