On the way home from the St. George trip, Ken's stopped in Las Vegas to shop the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (can't miss that) and saw a show titled "Love"...lots of dancing around, swinging from ropes to the tunes of the Beetles.

More of Ken's visit to St. George with Jim and Nita

Cute little baby Sandhill Crane taking a rest by our back patio.





Other bird news...Mourning Doves still laying eggs in our flower pots. One egg incubating as we speak.

Cute Brooks' Kids! (with future very cute daughter-in-law hanging on to Zach for dear life).

Had nice visit in St. George with Mom and Dad, Brooks', Ken's and Scott's (no kids). Had a ton of great food thanks to Sheila and tons of candy. Here are some pictures of the gathering but mostly of Mom and Dad's new place. It really is nice...you should all make a plan to go visit soon.

Hi everyone. This is Dean in St. George with Mom at the library showing her how to post something on the blog. More to come later.

Hello from Across the Pond -

Just a quick hello to update you on what is going on in London. John and I went to Monaco for the Grand Prix at the end of May. It was awesome, those F1 cars are so loud. It was my first Grand Prix! It was quite the glamorous weekend and so many very flash cars. We were invited out there by a brokerage firm that John does business with. It's so nice to have everything taken care of for you. Actually, John and I might be moving to Monte Carlo for his work. John and another partner in his firm are thinking about setting up an office out there. I am very excited about the opportunity and my fingers are crossed that things go through, I love it out there! A few weekends ago John and I went to a Bon Jovi concert up in Milton Keynes. Another work weekend, they organized limos and everything for us, it was a lot of fun. And just last weekend, one of John's best friends got married in Seville, Spain. John was one of the 4 Best Men. We flew out on Thursday morning and flew back Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful wedding weekend. Other than that, we have just been hanging out, have had a few BBQs at our flat and watching the England World Cup games. I have attached a picture of us in Seville, near the Cathedral and Alcazar and at the concert and one of Monte Carlo Beach. I will be heading back CA on the 30th of June for a visit. I will be back for the entire month of July. Hope all is well with everyone else, and hopefully I might be able to see some of you while I am back in the Homeland. X Dana

So we don’t hog all the picture space, I will delete this pretty soon.

Barb’s anniversary is coming up so we bought her a brand new Bentley Continental GT. It is black (Beluga) with black interior. It is equipped with a 12 cylinder twin turbocharged, 6 liter, 552 horsepower engine, 6 speed automatic transmission with manual paddle shift levers on the steering wheel, all wheel drive and push button ignition. We upgraded to the Mulliner which gives burr walnut interior and burr walnut door panels front and rear and front and rear consoles. There is contrasting diamond quilting stitched leather seats, wood and leather steering wheel, custom Mulliner 20” 7 spoke sport rims, knurled chrome and leather sport shift knob, drilled alloy sport pedals and lambs wool floor mats. The Bentley emblem is embroidered into the seat backs, dual front heated lumbar massage seats ( moves up and down along your back), navigation system, 6 CD player, fancy radio, blue tooth phone system, etc. Vroommmmmm , Vroommmmmmm

Family Portraits! Please get your individual family pictures to Sarah as soon as you can. She and Claudia are chomping at the bit to get this quilt finished, and we can't do that until we have everyone's photos... Or I guess we could always insert this photo if we don't get yours:

Our little girl is growing so fast. She is seven weeks old. We are falling in love with her more and more..
love, dar and nate

Whitney graduates from Weber High School on 23 May 2006. Mom and daughter both doing fine.

Here is a photo of Scott's new store located at Jordan Landing in South Jordan Utah. It is located in a new strip mall which is a hot new shopping destination on the southwestern part of Salt Lake City.

Here's Jimmy....sporting the new look while working with his Dad at the new store.

Picture of the houses along the Luzern Lake. Looks like a postcard photo. Really beautiful
Us, Dana and John and John's parents on the boat described below.
We are on a boat in a large lake in Luzern, Switzerland. In the background is the town.
One afternoon we went into "the city" to see a musical tribute to Frank Sinatra. It was very good but not currently available in the US.

These 3 photos are of the street where Dana lives. In the photo below you can see Dana and Barbara
standing at the front door. When you enter, you immediately go upstairs to a landing. From there you enter her flat front door and climb another set of stairs into the flat. The living area is located over the shop below. The town where she lives is called Wandsworth Town.

So many wonderful days together...Darlene's parents stayed for two weeks, they were fabulous & so in love with that baby...Nate got a new job, closer to home and lots more money (yippy!!)...Summer & Emerald were able to come for the baby's blessing & we stayed at Sarah's for so much great fun with the kids. We'd love to hear from more of you, let us know what's happening with your family too!

Barbara and I are enjoying our London visit with John and Dana. Most of our time has been spent relaxing and spending time with Dana. John works all day from about 9 AM to 9 PM when the NY stock exchange closes. We only see him 2-3 hours in the evening. This weekend we are going to Switzerland to “meet the parents”.

We have been buying daily travel passes and taking advantage of the trains, buses and “the tubes” and taking in the sights. Today we are going to a musical, “Sinatra”. We will attend the matinee, shop in downtown London (Ken’s favorite thing to do) and visit John at his work.. When John finishes his workday, we are going to dinner at a nice restaurant.
