At Grandma and Grandpa Pratt's home at 982 Jasper Circle, SLC, Utah. This is the same family room where John proposed marriage across from the fire place which the family is standing here. Kay and Lee were wonderful grandparents and always had fun with you children. Grandmother Pratt was a real Santa Elf and loved to make it fun for everyone. There were plenty of candy, cookies and lots
of excited children. She knew how to make things real exciting and fun. She spent hours planning and preparing for the Christmas stockings, the goodies, and presents. Here Julie and Johnny are enjoying the occasion. Grandma was the talk of the meeting and grandpa would always quietly nod and listen. He was the saintly type.

Grandmother and Grandfather McOmber
My parents came to visit us while we lived in Layton, Utah. They were very fond of you grandchildren. Since they were temple workers at the Idaho Falls temple, we only saw them on special occastions and church visits. Dad always had his teaching pencils in his pockets, so common since he was always correcting paper, writing notes etc. He only lived a few years after this picture.
Grandfather Calvin McOmber
This is Julie when she was a little adorable 4 year old, living in Layton, Utah. How my paretns loved you and I just wish Dad could have lived longer to enjoy all five of you. He was so wonderful as a father, a teacher, a servant of the Lord. How blessed we are to have such a rich heritage.
Love, to you all, Mom
Love, to you all, Mom

I was trying to see some of the pictures of when you children were young, and here is a start. We were in Tucson and sent out this little cute picture of John C. and Julie Kay and how we looked as students in Tucson. Really, it was your dad who was the student, but I was certainly getting my education as being a new mother. How cute is this?
