Bar J Wranglers

A couple weekends ago, we went with our good friends, to see the Bar J Wranglers. They are a singing cowboy group that sings old Western songs. I have seen them several times in Salt Lake during the winter months, but had yet to go to their ranch to have the wonderful chuck-wagon dinner they serve and hear them sing in their barn.

The Dude got all dressed up for the occasion.

This here feller was manning the biscuit station. He had several dutch ovens going full of biscuits for those wandering the ranch to eat. You could drizzle the biscuit with honey, which ended up all in my hair and on my shirt, typical.

These people are our dear friends!! They are wonderful people! Funny too!

I thought it was interesting what they used to decorate the barn with, old cowboy boots and one wall had old hats. 
Who do they belong to I wonder??

These cowboys make up the Bar J group, well minus one....

This one makes the group complete!
They put on a wonderful show, we most definitely will be back!

Peonies!!!

What better post to follow my Grandma then one about peonies, her favorite flower.

I have three peony plants, one white, one red, one pink.

Technically these is suppose to be the Benjamin Franklin Red, but I think this is more pink, don't you? Either way I still love it!!

Grandma

At the beginning of this week I got to spend time some quality with my Grandma. What a blessing it was!! 
She is just absolutely amazing. I loved being able to sit and listen to her tell stories of what happened in her life, her relatives, the pieces of furniture and knick knacks in her home, reading stories about my Grandpa to me. 
It made me think of the tapes she made of her reading children's books for us to listen to when I was younger, I wonder if my Mom still has those.....

I think I need to go back soon with a voice recorder so I can write down her memories. 
She is one in a million!!! 
I love you, Grandma!!

Wedding Day!

On May 30th, the Dude's niece got married!!
This day had two special meanings, not only did she get married, it was my Mother in-law's birthday!
What a wonderful birthday present (and a wonderful Mother in-law)! 
She got married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and then had a ring ceremony before the reception.



Could they be any cuter??!!

We got to see these wonderful people!!

And these two are just downright amazing!!
