News in from Sally:
Here are some pictures of Lukes birthday party. It was nice to have Dad here, and Mason and Natalie loved playing with Luke and Lily.

I made the cake and it said "Use the force Luke" but the frosting ran a little and the four letter f-word looked a little strange on a child's cake.

We had pizza and watermelon Luke's favorite foods and played kick ball.

Luke's favorite thing about the day was being with his family!

Love, Sally

The girls are cute too!

When I graduated from High School in 1967 my parents gave me a choice of graduation presents. I could have either a sewing machine or a typewriter. I got a Kenmore sewing machine. It amazes me what my 39 year old sewing machine can make. These are a receiving blanket and burp cloths for Sally's new baby coming in October. Sally, I'll put them in the mail next week. Hope you enjoy them.

More Hats!

Here are some more hats! I have finally used up all my left over fleece scraps. Anyone want to request one? Just add a comment or drop me an email.

Jasmine is having a birthday soon!

Jasmine has a birthday coming up on September 5th. Don't forget to send her your love and birthday wishes. Rick and I went to an art fare in Downtown Atlanta just before he left and we watched an artisan making necklaces. We thought they were very lovely and unique (just like Jaz) so we had him make one for her. Hope you like it Jasmine, it is in the mail on it's way to you! Love, Rick & Pat

Lighten Up & have fun!

This is for anyone who thinks their family is really weird and need to get a new life or just lighten up. I love it!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Luke will be 6 years old on August 30 and start school the week before.
Here is a cute picture I sent him with his birthday card. I didn't want him to be disappointed with just a card and wanted him to know what the check was for. When I asked how he like the picture I sent he said, "There's just one thing wrong, Grandma. I have red hair." I laughed and then told him it wasn't his hair but a helment. He got a good chuckled out of his mistake too!

He and his Mom went shopping and picked out a great bike and helment (before his real birthday celebration) so he would be ready to ride it to and from school.
Sally sent this photo of Luke on his new bike from Grandma and Grandpa. Isn't he just the cutest!

Keeping myself busy

Yes, I have been keeping myself busy so I don't worry about when the house sells. I made some fleece hats. I'm planning to send them to the LDS Church Humanitarian Center. But before I do I thought I'd offer them to family and friends first. If you see one you like just say the word and I'll send it to you. I am planning to work on my Halloween costume next. Send me your news and I'll post it for the family to read since not much is happeniong here in Snellville.

If you can't make it to the wedding, you can see them again on the 25th of August in Payson for a reception at 6:30-8:30 pm.

Congratulation Jeff and Shansie!

Luke with 1 tooth missing

Luke has had a sore on his gum for the past week that wasn't getting better. I took him to the dentist today and it is an absess, so they pulled out his tooth. He was very worried, but he liked the little car they gave him. He said it hurt when he stuck the needle in his gum. So now Luke will have a hole for a while because the bottom teeth need to go first. I think it looks pretty cute! Love, Sally
