We celebrate Easter with my sister Andrea, her husband, Wasim and children; Zain, Aalia, and Nial. Bob’s mom had dinner with us and also our family friend Dr. Charles Jessup:
Visits with friends.
We tried to visit with as many friends as possible; dinner with the Kunz’s, Lunch with the Brittain’s, dinner with the Donaldson’s and (pictured) breakfast with Sam and Carole Cowley.

The best 24th of July with family!!
Scott Esplin, his fiance Becca and Shelley Esplin
but the float doctor came to the rescue.
- The Jewish float had trouble and smoke started billowing….
I think this will be one of my favorite 24th of July, with family watching a parade in memory of the pioneers!! Here we are sitting on the asphalt watching the parade. Henry is in my lap, Jen next to me and Becca in her dad’s lap (Adam). It was a beautiful day.
Henry, Me, Jen, Becca and Adam, parade watching!

Entertaining on the Fourth of July
For years we have invited family and friends to come to our house and celebrate the Fourth with swimming and barbequing. This year I included a candy bar and made some new tablecloths to add to that old fashioned fourth of July feeling!

Women’s Conference BYU April 2011
Linda Esplin and Ellen Riley
Two years in a row, we did it!! We’ve been friends for 30 years, and we decided to make Women’s Conference each spring a must do so we can get caught up and enjoy our friendship to the fullest. Not easy since Ellen is in Massachusetts, Linda in Arizona and I am in Kansas but we did it for the second time in two years. It is like we have never been separated and pick up right where we left off. True friendship spans time and distance, and definitely worth the effort to meet at BYU’s Women’s Conference.
