GUESS WHO?????

Aren't they cute!!!!!

And it's a real live tree too!

Here's a clue.....(notice the little boy with no clothes on except his underwear!)

"More Memories"

"Thought I would post another picture of Russell and DeAnn's wedding! We are all much younger then, but fun to remember back! This one has our Jeff and Laney in it too! Great memories! We need to try to live everyday so that we can have those wonderful memories. To see them in picture is even more fun! When you get old as the hills like me and Gramp, they are the things that mean so much to you! KEEP CREATING MEMORIES!.... IT'S IMPORTANT!!!

Love this Picture!

As I was going through the pictures downloaded on my computer I came to this one. I love it!... to see my girls together when DeDe got married. Laurie was her maid of honor. I have the most beautiful girls! Debbie couldn't attend. She lived in California. We really miss Laurie. We haven't seen her for 26 years. We do have another little Laurie though. Emma is named after her...(Emma Laurie)and she has that same bubbly personality and is a real go-getter like Laurie! She is a cutie!
Thought Shanda's girls might like to see their Grandma Laurie.

Grandpa Swede and the girls!

Thought you might like to see this picture taken at DeAnn's. It was awhile ago.....little Emma has grown up to much!
DeAnn's now a blonde and Debbie is a brunette.....And grandpa stays the same and gram just has more wrinkles! (they call those wrinkles "wisdom") I'm not so sure about that!

Swede and Brother Orlyn on their Ship

Can you imagine these two "Hell Raisers" on the same Ship? That's exactly what they did until Orlyn got transferred.

They are splicing a mooring line....which ties the ship to the dock.

Picture of my Honey!

The good looking Sailor I feel in love with!

"Getting it Right at Last"

Hey! I finally did something right!!!!!

Now I am sending a picture from a wedding we went to in Cedar on Saturday night.

My half brother "Ken Lambeth is performing the Wedding Ceremony of his son Tyler and his new wife Ashlee. Ken has three children. They are all married now. Ken is the Bishop in his ward. They are a really nice family. I will email more pictures later.

Granny's Gardens

Goofed It!

"Well I really messed the last one up!" Thought I had lost the writing and duplicated the message! I'll try again later!...... [LATER]....guess what? DeDe told me how to fix it! Wow, it did work. I figured out what I did. I picked white for the color, so I couldn't read it and wrote it again. All I had to do was highlight and add color.

Wish Me Luck!

Well here goes.....I'm trying to download pictures to send. Grandpa Swede took this picture ..... sneaking up on me while I was detailing our car. He thought I looked pretty cool in his hat and had a good laugh! What a sight for sore eyes. I think I should name this one "Granny is an Alien".Well,

Special Invitation

I haven't blogged for awhile......but I am going to when I figure out the picture thing! (just lost my mind again and need to find it!)
THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION TO ALL OF MY FAMILY......I invite all of you to move back to Milford, because I really miss all of you! How wonderful it would be to have all of our family together always! I know we will never get out of here to visit you and we miss you all so much!......the kids are all growing up so fast! We don't want to miss any of it!
I know there is one way this can happen ! "Families can be together Forever" It will be a long time, but it can happen in our next life where everything is possible......We just need to work at making it happen while we are here!
What a glorious thought! I was just sitting here thinking about all of this on my favorite day of the week...Sunday.
Hey! I am just sharing my thoughts and dreams with you!
I know this is a bit on the serious side.
Remember how much we love you and miss you and how important family is to all of us.

Fun!

Well, no pictures again this blog, but wanted to say we had a great 4th of July weekend. Went to the parade where I saw my brother Clint and his wife Karma and daughter, Melanie. After which Stacy, Eric and their children had arrived from Seattle. I took DeLana and Alex to the park for food and concessions! They had a ball. Later, we had fireworks Jeff and DeAnn, Rachel and Lance came and Nettie and Dustin and their boys! We all had fun or at least I sure did! the best fireworks were the display Dustin did after the community ones......I felt just like a kid again and the little ones were having such a good time! They were beautiful!
We had a nice dinner at DeAnn's on Saturday. Debbie and Craig came, Jeff and Stacy and their family. DeAnn, her girls and myself, made to much food as usual, but everyone really enjoyed it! The little ones were so cute! Lance really loved Grandpa Swede, and Grandpa loved every minute of it! Lance and Grandpa made up their on language to communicate, but don't believe either understood one another. They made us all laugh! Jaxon and Jase where little charmers as usual and all the kids were really good! and so much fun!
Sunday I went to church and taught my lesson....thought it was terrible, but I got phone calls when I got home, telling me it was good.....surprising when the spirit is in your classroom. I'm sure that is what made the lesson a good one. Melissa and Brian came to our house Sunday evening with DeAnn and we had a quick visit, but it was really special for them to come to see us. Little Neeley is a doll. Stacy and family were here to eat, chicken was barbecued and Kerstin made her delicious Cheesy Potatoes.
Well, it was a great weekend....sorry it had to end! We will probably go to DeAnn's today to visit Melissa and Neeley and Rachel and Lance too. Little ones are so fun!
Wish everyone lived closer and I was younger with more energy......It is so much fun to be with everyone and play with the kids!
Til next time....Love you all!

Hello Again!
