Fathers Day Picnic

We didn't get to church today. Norm and I were all ready and he decided that he just didn't feel well enough to go. Christy had come up, from Spanish Fork, to go with us, but, Norm just couldn't make it. We had a nice visit tho and she gave him a beautiful scrapbook that she stayed up till all hours of the night, working on. She is very talented and it turned out really nice.

Jake, Ty and the kids came for dinner and we had invited Chad Buttars, our good neighbor over. He brought Craig, his son, and we had a really nice time sitting around visiting. Jake made his special "drunken chicken" on the Weber. It was really good, but there just wasn't enough!!! We all could have eaten several. Just think, some poor chicken lost his life, so we could have Fathers Day dinner!!! So did a cow too, cause we also had hamburgers. I had made potato salad and pasta salad, Jake and Ty brought a watermelon so we had plenty to eat!!! It was a really nice time, but Norm got pretty tired. It was good for him to get his mind off of that fact that he didn't feel very well tho. He loves to talk to Chad about airplanes and cars, and of course loves to visit with his son and his family.


My daughter in law took most of these pictures, with my camera, in my backyard, and tried to steal my camera so I couldn't use them on my blog. She wanted to use them on hers, but I stole two and watch her have a "hissy fit" now, and jump up and down screaming!!!!!
