My Sweet Grandma

I love my Grandma Gilden. She is so kind and sweet and has always been there to help us and to show us such love and care. Nate loves her so much too. He has a special bond with her, she use to watch him once in a while when we lived next to her, and he always wanted to go over to see his great grandma. We really loved seeing her on our trip.

In earlier years, when we lived next door.

This is Nate on his 2 Halloween.

Here are some other pictures of my wonderful Grandma. This was last Christmas when we went over to her house and exchanged gifts and visited. I have so many wonderful

memories of visiting her and have always felt that she loved me. Here is Grandma with her sister Afton, when Afton came to visit from CA.






Then there is Karma, my Grandma's best friend and younger sister. They do everything together and they are always there for the each other. Two peas in a pod you might say.

I have many great memories with each of them, and wanted to say that I love them. Thanks again Grandma for all you do. I hope we have many more memories to come. Love you.

Russell and our Temple Trip

Logan Temple

August 28th

We went to the Logan temple to accumpany Russell. He was recieving his endowment. It was so wonderful being in there with our family and enjoying the joy and spirit inside the house of the Lord. Thats one of the great things about Utah, the accessiblitiy to go to the temple. Russell looked so good and happy, I'm so glad that we got to be there with him.

Here are some pictures of all of us after the sesion. Mom had already left for home so she could pick up the other kids and Nate, so they could go out to eat with us to celebrate too.

From left to right: Rena, Jared, Russell, Blake, Tina, Grandpa, Grandma, Julie and Sean.

We went to Olive Garden after to eat and celebrate. The kids, dad, Nate and Katie joined us to eat...Katie is Russells girlfriend.
