Sept. 13-Texas BBQ to Celebrate Bill & Sue Bates' Wedding

     I couldn't resist posting this picture of Janica holding smiling, baby Jayce (3 mos.)
 Second Cousins, Michael Wood & Calee Tomlinson, (Sue's great nephew & niece) having a fun time together, while the adults visit. (Sorry about the blurriness)
   Michael Wood (my grandson & Sue's great nephew) happily playing on the grass.
We brought Sherri & Calee Tomlinson (nieces of Sue & I) with us. As you can see the sun was shining bright in everyone's eyes for most of the pictures.
        Sue's youngest son, Kevin Weisenberger (on the right) & his friend.
Bill & Suesan Bates, & Sue's good friend Trelma Hale & Shirley Coffey (a good friend of our mother, Eva, & step-father, Dean Thurman, from years ago in Wapello, Idaho.) It was so good to see her. I think it had been 25 + years since I saw her last.

In this picture on the left side is Brandon, Jayce (with his fist in the air), Michael, & Veronica Wood, Calee & Sherri Tomlinson. On the right side, we have Seth Ellsworth (Janica's boyfriend), Janica & J. Wood, Suesan Bates & Carolyn Walters (Sue's adopted daughter on the very end)

My sister, Maudie (Suesan) England married Bill Bates on July 16, 2008, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, overlooking the beautiful Snake River. Bill had lived in Texas for quite some time in his younger years and thought it would be fun to have a Texas BBQ prepared by his brother, from Oklahoma, to celebrate their wedding. It was held at the LDS church near their home in Magna, Utah. We enjoyed beef brisket, baked beans, cowboy beans, potato salad, strawberry fruit salad, lemonade, & of course wedding cake. A BIG CONGRATULAIONS TO THEM & BEST WISHES FOR A VERY HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER!
