Two weeks vacation!!

I enjoyed a trip to North Carolina to see my sister Mary Ann. After two days with her we went to Virginia for 5 days and I was able to get pictures of all my brothers and sisters and my parents... this is the first picture of all 8 of us in several years. Then I went to Indiana and spent 4 days with Clarke and his family. They are expecting child # 3 in October. It was a great two weeks for me and I am so thnakful for my family and the love that they show me and the great memories I treasure. Enjoy the slide show.

Grandparents Primary Activity!!

Living close to grandchildren has lots of rewards and excitement. JAred and I drove to Madera for a Primary Grandparents day activity. We played games, made picture frames, built puzzles, and baked and ate chocolate chip cookies. Our picture frames and photos were a hit. Also... good job Sarah on a great activity. Sarah is in the Primary presidency.

A great Reunion!!

The whole gang in Hayward for the homecoming of Joe and Yvonne. We had a great time.

Jared and his brothers and sisters. Notice the rock. That was a place for John.

Isn't this such a great picture of all the Bjarnason's and their spouses. We had a great weekend and now look forward to summer 2010 for a great reunion.

Jared turns 55!

Sarah and her family came to Turlock for dinner at Home Town Buffet for Jared's birthday. This started a four day reunion for the Bjarnason's as Bonnie and Mike were here also.

Sippin lemonade... three glasses full! Bet they had to get up alot that night!

Aunt Ashley and Mckay...

Getting ready to blow out the candles. Always a treat for the grandkids. We love you Jared!!

A bit of Africa!!!

Allyson and Ashley having a bit of fun as they are paniting Allyson's bedroom.

This is not as orange as she wanted it but it looks great!

Putting the two walls together and the room statred to look like it may come together.

We found the bedspread at Walmart clearance and it matched the room and Ally was happy.

The final project and we are pleased with the results. Why did I make her wait so long????

So for the past 3 years Allyson has told me that she wanted to paint her room yellow and orange and that she wants to have an African theme. I have always put her off and delayed the project. Well... this week we bought paint and began the 15 hours of work. It looks great and she is finished another YW project! YeaH!!!!!
