Butchart Gardens

The hanging gardens.

Part of the rose garden. This does not do it justice. There are over 6,000 rose bushes.
This is one huge hanging basket!

VHA Seattle trip

Here we are on the Argosy Cruise from Union Lake to the sound through the locks. It was loads of fun.

The Seattle skyline. We are coming into pier 55.

This is as close as I got to the 5th Avenue theater. I took this for Bethany.

In the flower market at Pike's. Can you believe that bouquet is only five dollars? The hotel gave me a vase so that I could have it in our room. I left mine, but Becky Dobbins took hers all the way home to Louisiana on the plane!

Betty's 90th BIrthday, Aug. 19,2009

Here are a few pictures taken on Betty's 90th birthday. Janet and Bruce came down from Maine and Tom came over from Austin. I got a "weird hand" picture of Tom, but I'm not posting it because he got one of me and I don't want to see it on the blog either.

The Utah Girls, baby, and the Provo House

Here's the futon that we bought at IKEA and Jessica's orange bulletin board from home worked nicely on the wall.

I liked this picture of Ted and Shane because Shane has his eyes open.

Here is Becca in her living room next to her IKEA bookshelf.

Here are the Utah Girls with Shane. I was happy that Bethany got to come up and see the baby. She is moving this week and should be set up by next week. Or at least have her furniture. Rich has already left and will start work on August 3rd. We're happy that they got the best house to rent!

McKay's 4th Birthday Party

Here is McKay getting his big present from Grammi and Grandad. I found out later that his big brothers set him up to ask me for it!

Opening presents.

We bought 24 huge cupcakes from Costco and McKay picked out his favorite for his four candles.

Shannan has birds and McKay loved playing with them. Someone is trying to entice the birds to leave, but they seem happy to be with McKay.

Getting Together

Shane was blessed at home on July 11th with just his immediate family. Ted was able to make it and his Uncle Clint arrived just in time from Montana on a motorcycle!

I liked this picture of Taber and Rebecca cooking in the kitchen. I think we need to find Taber a bigger apron!

This was taken at Shane's blessing in the Flygare home. T.J. and Michelle, Rosalia, Taber, and Rebecca were able to come.

This last picture is of Eric and Cindy the night before their departure from Utah for the wilds of Virginia! We missed you!

Baby Shane

Here is the main man, Shane Reed Flygare. He is not quite two weeks in this picture.

Jessica kissing her little baby who is dressedin one of Aunt Kimberly's baby outfits.

I like this picture because Shane is looking right at his mother. Jessica is a supermom. This baby has gone from 6 lbs 10 oz at birth to 8 lbs 1 oz at his two week check-up!
