A short trip to SLC

On 17 th June we took Sarah to Primary

Children's Hospital very early in the morning,

Ashlyn went with us, since she would have

been with us for the day. Sarah had her

pacemaker removed. After she was feeling

better, we had a short tour at Temple Square

and then had lunch at the Ole Spaghetti Factory

before we returned to Provo. So this is another

thing that happened in the month of June.

We certainly tried to fill up the month of

June with lots of different activities. We also

helped Sarah move out of her apartment after

Spring Term was over and took her to the

airport, to fly to AZ. for a weeks visit with

Robert, Amanda, and Hannah, Aunt T.,

Grandpa and Grandma Hasty. She is now in

Sandpoint, Idaho for the remainder of the

summer.

The entrance sign, which was to be the first

picture, I still don't know how to do this

very well!

June was also our 49th anniversary (on the 24th), so we got up and
decided to run away for a couple of days. We took off and drove to
Mt. Pleasant and had lunch, drove to Ephriam and roamed around,
then to Manti for a little more roaming, I had to check out a couple of
craft places. Then we drove on down to Mt. Carmel Junction for the
night.

Oquirrah Mountain Temple Open House

Another June activity, was going to tour the
Oquirrah Mounntain Temple, during the open
house. It was beautiful, as they all are in their own
special way. Sam, Jen, Ashlyn and Sarah went
with us (or rather we all went with Sam-he drove)
so Grandpa and I had a restful ride once again.

ASHLYN is Baptized - 6 June 2009

Grandpa Blackham and Ashlyn - after she was
baptized. A very special day for all!

up Danny's truck in proper order!

daughters.

She just keeps sending them off.



Aunt Suzy and Auntie Karen drove down from

Danny Green and Brinda - The Wedding

We spent a great day with Danny and Brinda and
their families in Logan on 5th June 2009, where they
were married for all eternity in the Logan Temple.

Last Day of School for Ashlyn

Memorial Day Cemetery Visits

Morgan, Jennifer and Sarah not wanting me to
take their picture. We had a very fun day.


This picture of Ashlyn is out of place. Her last
day of school.


Sam's parents are buried in the Moroni Cemetery,
along with lots and lots of other Blackham's (just ask
Ashlyn) I felt the same as Ashlyn did, the first time I
visited the Moroni cemetery.



This picture of three granddaughters taken on
Monday when we traveled to the Moroni Cemetery,
where many 'Blackham's' are buried. Sam drove this
time, so we (the grandparents) had a leisurely ride.




On Saturday before Memorial Day we went to
Draper Cemetery to my Dad's and Virginia's
grave. We took Ashlyn with us
she wanted to take some flowers to her grandpa-great's grave, too.
I was a quick trip, but we enjoyed the ride and the time we had in the
cemetery.

A picture of our kids, with their daughter Ashlyn,
The 'actress' was in a play "Enchanted", the end of
May (I think) She was super and it was a great
production. We are glad we went



The "actress" posing with her flowers and trophy.

One last picture before I call it a night.

We have Red Bud trees here and there in Utah,

but in Indiana they are along the road side. They were

in bloom while I was there and looked so neat. I was

excited to see them, so had to have a picture, of course.

While I was in Indiana, Bonnie, David and I stopped
by the Cemetery in Wabash, on our way home after
Church, to check out our Mom's grave site.


The bride and groom, Cortney and Trina Fritz, with
Bonnie, mother of the bride and my sister.

Wasatch Range DAR

This is the flowering Cherry tree our
chapter of DAR planted in the American
Fork.



A small group of our chapter ladies that were
able to help with the planting. It was a great
little project to be involved in. Reports are
that the tree (a 25 footer) has blossoms on it
and looks beautiful. (two weeks after the planting)
