Once Upon a Recent Time

This last summer we had some pretty neat occasions to get together, to party, and to celebrate. With all the packing and stuff going on, these were wonderful times to take a break and be together.
Now that I have this neat new venue to share things with you all, I thought I would go back a bit and let you see some of the fun things we were able to do before we moved from UT.
I hope you enjoy them. We sure did!!!!!!
Thanks JennAdam for the idea!

Noah Gets His Eagle

A very happy time! Noah receives the rank of Eagle Scout.
As proud parents, we get to be involved in bestowing this honor.

Mama Karen gets to pin the Eagle madallion on Noah.


Dad Steve gets to put the Eagle neckerchief on him.

Noah gets a neat honor. Because Noah is a decendant of a member of the Mormon Battalion (The Momon Battalion were Mormon pioneers asked by the US Government to help fight in the Spanish American War). So, Noah was given a special neckerchief slide and presentation.



With some congratulations from the Bishop,


and a mother pin for Karen, it was a special time.


Ty and Cami, Jenn and Adam, Grandma Kenworthy and some other friends and great leaders were there to help make it a memorable time.
As parents of 3 boys, we are very proud of our 3 Eagle Scouts. Our boys have learned a lot of basic skills and a lot about leadership.
Ty is still very involved in the Scouting program. Ken is on his mission, but Noah is now helping one of the young men in our ward to progress toward Eagle.

Cubby Turns 13

Cubby turns 13, July 2nd. Here, Cubby shows the present that Ken sent her.

Ty and Cami were there

Grandma Kenworthy and Noah,

Tori, Jenn and Adam

and happy to have Cubby's Uncle Tom and Aunt Laura with us.

Of course, no birthday is complete without presents!

We always have the birthday person pick what they want for dinner and dessert. Cubby chose to have a BBQ like Ty.

So, another beautiful day and some great food. Wrap that all up with a gathering of awesome people, thrown in a few presents and whaa laa, a neat time for everyone!

A Dinner Invitation

Jenn and Adam were so sweet to invite us to dinner at their new apartment. We have gone over to Ty and Cami's too, for a yummy dinner, but I forgot to take pictures.
Jenn made a really yummy dinner of white chili and rolls.
Then she made some wonderful baklava for dessert. Wow!
Sorry for the blurry picture. It's me, not Jenn. :)
We had a nice relaxing time. They were a wonderful host and hostess. They have a cute apartment and are decorating it up real nice.

Ty Had A Birthday

All Ty wanted for his birthday was to have us all together and have a BBQ. It was lots of fun. Ty brought his BBQ that he got from Grandpa and Lorene Cummins. They take it everywhere. We added our electric one and had some great burgers and hot dogs. Add some of Grandma Cummins famous Strawberry Jell-O Salad and a great time is sure to be had.

It was a beautiful day! From lower middle around clockwise: The back of Noah, Tori, standing is Ty and Cami, then Adam, then sitting is Steve.

Ty, our best griller, cooked his own birthday meal. If you look at that handsome smile, you know he doesn't mind.

Of course, you add a beautiful, sweet wife, and any birthday is bound to be great!

Another cute couple: Jenn and Adam. So neat to have everyone together.


Then Kricket entertained us by jumping/climbing up into the apple tree. She's pretty amazing.

I look at these pictures and it makes me smile and perhaps a little sad as I think about how many fun get togethers we had and how few of them we will have now.
