The Youngest

Just a quick picture of Ms. K and her friend, Ms. A They are sporting bright bangle bracelets from Buckoos, Star shaped sunglasses and have about three candy necklaces around their necks. Goofing off is the name of the game. Happy Summertime.

Fred and his garden

I took this picture of Fred working in the garden about one month ago. Today the plants are twice the size and we are enjoying sugar peas, arrow peas, spinach, and small red potatoes. YUM YUM. The strawberries are ready to pick. Rasberries were moved this year so no rasberries for eating. Fred loves the garden and I appreciate all of his effort to make it grow.

Mr. Markmanship meets the Governor of Utah

The Clearfield High JROTC Markmanship team was honored to meet with Governor Jon Huntsman for the State of Utah. Ms. K. and I were the only family members there. Rep. Oda made the arrangements. He is a great support to the students at CHS and it was nice for these young men to be honored for their accomplishments. They will be the State at he Jr. Olympics.!! PS The Governor gave each of the team members a commemorative coin. It is cool.

Just so you know

Just so you know that the handsome man who no longer has red hair is my cutie!! He looks great in his $.99 Tuxedo. My aunt didn't believe me when I told her. It is true. Fred found this tux at Savers for only... yes once again...$.99 In our picture it looks as if Natalie and Kallee are performing together just like old times. Only now they had graduated from using the fireplace hearth to the cultural hall. To all of you "old" cousins ( you know who you are) the little cousins turned out pretty great didn't they?

Wedding Day

Kallee and Duncan sit down to watch the wedding video at the end of their magical evening.

Kallee and her best friends.

Kallee's cousin, Ms. C. caught the bouquet. Kallee and Duncan cut the wedding cake. The chocolate covered strawberries were delicious. The cake was banana nut, covered with fondant.

It was a celebration indeed!! We even did a little dancing at the end. (In spite of very sore feet ) The cultural hall was decorated just how Princess Kallee had dreamed it would be. The evening ended with all the family gathered together blowing bubbles as the couple departed for......

Disneyland!!!! More pictures to follow.

Fred, Char, Kallee, Duncan, Natalie and Clint

On June 12, 2008 at 10:16 am on the dot, (thanks to Uncle Dennis who provides the up to the second report at each wedding ) Kallee and Duncan Glen Shelley were sealed for time and all eternity in the Bountiful Temple. Brother Rigby was a remarkable man with such insight and spirit. He truly taught all of us who were in the temple that day. It was a blessed day and I am so proud of Kallee and Duncan for being married in the temple.

Our camera wasn't working properly at the temple so I'll have to post the temple pictures later. I do have some from the Saturday before when Kallee took out her endowments at the Jordan River Temple, which she referred to as the River Jordan Temple. (Not in the same country, sorry honey) Also here are some pictures from the reception. More pictures to come not to worry.

What's the Buzz?

No bees just busy with last minute details for the wedding this Thursday. I am really excited for Kallee and Duncan and know that they will be so happy together. We had a wonderful time at the temple this past Saturday. As Kallee called it, the River Jordan Temple. She has received alot of teasing about that one. Actually the Jordan River Temple is very beautiful and the brides room is all done in a soft peach color with beautiful chandeliers and mirrors. It was wonderful to be in the Lord's house and to feel of his spirit. The sweet sisters that helped us out were Sister Geddes, Sister Day, the assistant matron to the temple and Sister Gardner. They all became instant friends. A little taste of heaven for sure. Sister Day in her instructions to the new sisters did a very appropriate job. It was plain, simple and certainly guided by thy Holy Spirit. It was a joyous day.

I am looking for some great advice or imput about Kallee to share with others at the pre-wedding dinner. If you have some great stories please send them my way. Fred and I are supposed to say something about her as well as Natalie. In keeping with Kallee's personality it should be funny and full of her ism's. Love you all. Pictures still to come I promise.

Oh yeah. I didn't get the best score on my math test, but at least I passed!!

Oops!

In all the hustle bustle of pre-wedding I realized that I have forgotten this or that and also that some invitations didn't get to the right people, and some people received two invites. Needless to say I am brain dead at the moment and I 'm sorry. (Relatives and Friends are invited to the wedding...sorry for any opps on my part)

I have some great photo's from the bridal shower and recipes to share. It was awesome to be with so many friends and family. Thanks for the support.

Great news to share!! Fred has a new job. He will be working a company close by as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We both feel very blessed and humbled.
