Alec's Return from Pioneer Trek

Alec and his Ma and Pa, Katie (Duke) and Mitch Jensen. He had a great time. The hardest part was watching the girls pull/push the handcart up the hill. The best part was the rest of the youth conference. He had a great time and was extremely glad he went. Whew!
Ma, Pa, and Alec

Summer at Last !

Finally. Temperatures that are seasonal. Just in time for Christian, Alec, and Austin to re-shingle the roof. Austin stayed in Heber City on Memorial Day. He and Christian began to work on Tuesday. Alec (poor boy) is in school until June 9 since our school started later in the fall so that the new high school could be completed. He came home for lunch, and since testing was over, I checked him out for the rest of the day. He dropped his backpack right on the front lawn, and went right to the roof. Wednesday, same thing. The three of them were mega-sunburned, tired, and sore. Alec has worked some each day, but next Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be a repeat. I imagine they will finish. Christian has also tackled the cover over the patio, so that will add some time to their project. Kirk hasn't stepped a foot up the ladder as far as I know :)

Lots of family history time as I am retyping as history of the Bingham Family (My Grandma Young's parents). Finding out lots of good stuff including third great grandfather, Morris Phelps, who helped build the Kirtland and Nauvoo temples and was thrown in jail for months with Parley P. Pratt. They escaped from prison through the help of his wife and others.

And now, Elaine at the age of one holding her one and only Beauty Contest Blue Ribbon for Miss Salt Lake City in the 1 year old category. Love my mom :)


And me at a little older age already enjoying my favorite pastime, in my little wicker rocking chair in the back yard at Grandpa and Grandma Days'. (Which was where we lived as well.)
