My Happy Birthday

6 August 2013

I loved this!  Kari bought me the whole set of Harry Potter books for my birthday present.

Then Wayne and I met Julie, Lyndsey, Melissa, Ellie and Madi at City Creek Center

for dinner at the food court and fun at the play land.  Such cute kids to celebrate with.

Fifty Mile Bike Ride

27 July 2013

I don't understand this kind of self-inflicted punishment, but I admire them their accomplishment.

Great bonding time for Kim and Julie.

Kim, Hayden, Julie & Tom.

I love that Hayden rode with them.

Harry Potter Party

26 July 2014

Lyndsey threw the greatest Harry Potter party of all time.  I can't believe all the trouble she went to and it was wonderful.  It was the reason I read all seven books in two months. I wanted to understand all that she did.  It was well worth it.

Kim Came - Park City

26-27 July 2013

They rode the rides.

We ate and enjoyed the weather.

We shopped - or at least window shopped.

FamilySearch.org

Summer 2013

I have spent a lot of time on FamilySearch indexing records and doing arbitration. But one of the happiest developments is the ability to add family histories, memories and photos. This has allowed me to find other family members who are interested in the same ancestors I love.  Here are some photos I have either found on FamilySearch or posted there.

I love this unusual photograph that was taken in Lyman, Utah. 

The man and woman on the far left are my great-grandparents,

Benjamin Godfrey Turner and Susan Oulds Turner.

Vaneta, Mark and Dawn (my mother) Turner

Vaneta died when she was nine, so I was thrilled to find this photo.

  

Emma Marr and Mark E. Peterson with Claud D. Mangum (my father).

My Dad was hosting them as they toured Church units in Korea in 1959.

Love Our Missionaries

7 July 2013

While Katelyn was in the MTC learning Spanish and how to be an effective missionary in Houston, Texas, Mason was already in the Chile Antofagasta Mission experiencing a choice baptism.

They will be in my thoughts and heart continually for the next two years. 

4th of July at Solitude

4 July 2013

Julie's family rented rooms at Solitude during the Independence Day celebration and invited us to come up and enjoy the 4th of July with them. It was incredibly beautiful, peaceful and fun.

Jeff is fabulous with Ellie and they were such fun to watch.

 

Patriotic Jello by Julie

Perfect summer food.
