In Utah, wait five minutes and the weather will change...


It's a beautiful summer day when suddenly, the wind starts blowing, the trees are thrashing around, and clouds sail overhead. The sky turns dark and in the distance a misty haze is floating up the canyon towards us...

The wind blew so hard that I had to stop videoing. Next a cloud burst and rain pounded downward. Once the lightning and thunder started, McKalynn and Anna ran into the house. It's a crazy sight, and scary too. Then, a few minutes later the storm was over and we could see blue sky in the west and later in the evening (about 9:30 pm) this sunset.

Recital










Fathers' Day weekend was Emily and Anna's dance recital. It was so much fun. Anna did a ballet dance and she had a little solo part. Emily did ballet, tap and jazz dances. Their performance was outstanding. Grandma Nay got to hang out with Spencer and Lyla while JeNae, Cameron and Emily went on a pioneer trek and Jayson went to work. This picture of Lyla is serious bed head. Then on Fathers' Day, Jayson & JeNae made a yummy curry chicken dinner and Jayson made the best cheesecake. Renee's high school friend, Teri, also joined us for dinner. Good times.

Dancing Fever in June




Anna had her first (of 3) dance recitals for June! She did so well and had so much fun. She sure loves to dance her little heart out. This was a recital for all the beginning classes. This was her first year of dance and can't wait for next where she starts the Pre-teen classes. Oh my, where has the time gone? Pre-teen?
Amy and her 3 kiddies came and enjoyed all the fun dances and pretty costumes. We are so proud of our little Anna Banana... k, gotta go do hair and makeup for the dance competition downtown today for her ballet class. I've heard her teacher, JoHanna Summerhayes wins lots of awards for her choreography... this oughta be fun!
