Thank you Randy

Today I would like to thank my wonderful husband, Randy. Randy has not been around little kids since he had his own many years ago. Jennifer visited yesterday and then Matt (he broke away from his work for a few minutes) and his family and Tammy came over. There were 4 little girls here with tons of energy and Randy kept them all entertained with Popsicles and soft drinks and playing with them etc. They just love him and gave him big hugs when they left. He also fixed up the trailer for Jennifer and Zoe with hot water, television etc.

Randy also grilled steaks and hot dogs and put up with our "Family Fish Fry" (as Marty calls family get togethers) We were all a noisy bunch and Randy was the perfect host. Even though he had a cold, he really worked hard to make it a nice BBQ even though we had to bring it inside because of the weather turned crappy.

Earlier in the day, we went to Salt Lake to pick up Jennifer and Zoe from Tina's. Jennifer took us out to lunch at The Garden Restaurant in the Joseph Smith Building where we had a beautiful view of the temple and downtown Salt Lake. We then went to visit The Cathedral of the Madeline which is a Catholic cathedral. It was very beautiful inside with stained glass windows and a organ loft where beautiful pipe organ was playing with a stained glass window above. This is the first time I have visited the cathedral.  We also visited Matt at his work and looked at his vintage "Carrillo" Chevy truck that he is putting in the auto show. It will be a real tribute to his Dad. Zoe enjoyed playing with the little girls and Jennifer and Tammy enjoyed holding little Kelby. He has lots of dark hair and everyone hopes it will stay that way and be more like Dad's, but his hair will probably end up being blonde.


Jennifer and Zoe left today for Zion's park to hike with Tina and Marissa. Then Jennifer will be heading back home to Seattle. We hope to see her again soon perhaps in August. 

Randy, we all appreciate you and I appreciate you for putting up with my noisy family and being such a good and very gracious host. People who really know Randy, know that he is a really great guy most of the time.
