"I promise you that if you will keep your journals and records, they will indeed be a source of great inspiration to your families, to your children, your grandchildren, and others, on through the generations. Each of us is important to those who are near and dear to us-and as our posterity read of our life's experiences, they too, will come to know and love us. And in that glorious day when our families are together in the eternities, we will already be acquainted. What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity. We hope you will begin as of this date." ~Spencer W. Kimball


"In family relationships, love is really spelled t-i-m-e." _Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A persons own family is without a doubt, the greatest wealth that we will ever possess. Treasure every moment and take the time to ensure that the story you create is one that you will be proud of and look back on with a huge smile.

We went to see Dad Call's Mark Twain in Big River. Awesome actors!
 Awesome voices!
 At curtain call they honored Grandpa. He wasn't aware of it! It's the 50th Lyric's anniversary.
 Dick's father founded the Lyric 50 years ago

Strawberry picking


Brooklyn told us about this farm where her and her family pick strawberries every year. The cutest little girls were collecting the money while their mother was busy.

The weeds were pretty bad because this is the last year they will be selling them to the pubic.











We made strawberry jam.
 Deacon helped so much!
It turned out so yummy!

Home of the hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are one of Dick's biggest loves. We took him to see some for Father's Day. The expression on his face was priceless!
