June 20-26 Steven's Siblings and spouses met
at Branson Missouri for a Reunion.
We ate, played games and watched some great
entainment at the many shows we got to attend.
We especially liked, Six, Hughes Brothers, Duttons,
60's Show, and Noah was incredible, a must see for
everyone!


Before going to Branson we got to go to Bentonville
Arkansas and see Clint and Diane. Diane was unable
to attend the Reunion so it was nice to see her.

Fun in the Sand and the Play Structure






The Grossnickle Grandkids also love to play in
the sandbox and on the swingset for hours. I like
it that they love the outdoors!

Fun in the Sun




The Grossnickle Grandkids had fun today playing
in the little baby pool. We haven't gotten the big
one up but they had as much or more fun in the
little one. Denver loved to run and jump in, Tag
was more interested in playing with the toys in the
water while little Tatelin played too. Tatelin got
in herself with her pants and shoes on, she is such
a cute little baby girl!

We had the opportunity of going to Nauvoo for Steven's neice Taralee's wedding on May 9th. Here is a picture of them just getting out of the temple. Cute couple.

Steven and I have been at his parents home in Indianapolis.
Steven put a sealer on their deck as well as putting two volleyball posts
in for Randy and Pat.

I painted a pictures of the Nauvoo Temple for Taralee
She just got married there on the 9th of May so I went back and with the
permission of Heath Bland I painted the picture he took of the Nauvoo Temple at night!

Kelli's performance


Last night I had the privilege of seeing Kelli (my oldest Grandchild) perform at her school musical concert. She was the most beautiful one there and of course the most talented. I got to hold Kaleb on my lap. When he saw Kelli he kept saying: "Kell Bell I am over here" something like that anyway it was so cute. Here is a few pictures from last night. After the performance Traci had us over for yummy dessert!
