Dear Family and Friends, December 2012<br />
<br />
<br />
Another year has rolled around incredibly quickly. I can’t believe that it is already time to write our Christmas letter. We love sharing our year with you and look forward to your cards and letters also. We have been well blessed and have had a good year all in all.<br />
<br />
I asked Larry to help me with things that we had done this year and after some thought realized we’d done more than we thought we had. We made a trip to Las Vegas the first of April to see Nathan and Stephanie and our new granddaughter, Avonlea. We also made a last minute day trip to Idaho to help Marla decorate graves on Memorial Day. While there we celebrated a bit with my Father’s last living sister, Aunt June. She was 90 years old that day. We’ve been working on the basement of the cabin. We’ve put up the drywall and have been working on the unpleasant task of taping and mudding. Still much work to do there. With trees to cut down and a cabin to finish, it seems like it is always a work in progress, but we enjoy our time there. We’ve been to Idaho for my family reunion in June, hosted the Millett reunion at our cabin in July and were back up to Idaho for our niece, Emily’s, wedding the first of August. So I guess we’ve done a bit this year and enjoyed our family immensely.<br />
<br />
Larry and I are still working at our same places of employment. Larry is still the financial clerk at church and I’m still serving as the secretary in the Relief Society Presidency. Brandi and Sadie, our two kids, (I mean labs) still bring us a lot of joy and companionship. They also both enjoy terrorizing our cat, Tabby, and they love being up at the cabin digging for whatever small animal they can hear under the ground.<br />
<br />
Our children and grandchildren have such a special place in our hearts and we love spending time with them whenever we can.<br />
<br />
Shannon, Chris, and Jennsen have made a move from Tooele to Grantsville. They wanted to have a little more land to have their horse Sue at their place. Well….to say the least their" little more land" has grown into a small little ranch. They now have 3 horses, 2 goats, along with their 2 dogs and 2 cats they already had. They love their new family members and are enjoying a lot of family time with them. We are so happy for them. Jennsen is a senior and will be graduating this year.<br />
<br />
Jamie and Bruce are happy and well. Starley graduated this past year. Zac just turned 16 in November and Trevor will turn 16 in January. They are both sophomores and enjoying playing sports. Dallin is 9 and trying to keep up with his big brothers and is also enjoying raising a few chickens in their back yard. <br />
<br />
Devin, Charity, and Kylee love spending time in the mountains at their cabin as a family. They love fishing and hunting together. Charity got her first deer this year. Kylee is now 10 and in 4th grade and growing so tall.<br />
<br />
As I said above, Nate and Steph have added a new member to their family this year. February 23rd our cute little Avonlea joined the Walker family. She’s a doll and also growing like crazy. We’ve enjoyed watching text and face book videos that they send to us and hopefully we will get a chance to go down to Vegas and see them again soon.<br />
<br />
At this time of year we are so grateful for the Savior’s birth and the blessing his life and atonement has brought to our lives. May this season bring you and your families love and happiness, and may the coming year be bright. We love you all and think of you often. Have a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years.<br />
<br />
Larry and Patsy<br />

We headed up to Idaho this year for the annual Willard Reunion. It was June 21st through the 23rd. Marla was in charge and did a fantastic job. The site was a beautiful one with lots to enjoy. It was about an hour North of Mountain Home, Idaho in the Boise National Forest, just outside Pine, Idaho. Larry and I took off Thursday morning after getting our two girls into the kennel. We actually met Roberta and Keith and Bonnie and Randy, along with 3 of their grandchildren (Kraig's kids) at the rest stop just south of Brigham City, UT. So we traveled together. Georgia and Richard, Jennie and John (Pace) were just behind us about an hour. We arrived about 3:00 on the 21st and got our tent set up. We then just enjoyed visiting and waited for the Milletts to arrive. After they got there and got their tents all set up we started dinner. We roasted hotdogs and had salads and made smores which was fun. Marla had assigned each sibling an animal, we were the Bears. We of course each had a family jingle that we shared and then posted our flags. The Kopps were the Racoons, the Stowes were Porcupines, the Hegerhorsts were the Skunks, Milletts were the Beaver, Cliff's family flag had the Moose (we missed them this year) My Uncle Lee Bird also came up to spend some time with us. He was, of course a bird, the Owl. I don't know why I missed Roberta's flag. I think it was just because she was first and it took me a minute to think "Oh yeah, how about taking some pictures...". <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XH2rFFsKhvj4BknLb_GDCnAt_BNOCWepRjAQGvtGXGquCAA_UshPbrhptRTzdN39tT-aNyiiA-TeT-mUvbOK3_aaCPM8S0OdsKuJyTXUuc5SqjzZC3ASkJKwTfwUm6EOdqMLXVrSZvU/s1600/2012-06-23_12-49-12_910.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XH2rFFsKhvj4BknLb_GDCnAt_BNOCWepRjAQGvtGXGquCAA_UshPbrhptRTzdN39tT-aNyiiA-TeT-mUvbOK3_aaCPM8S0OdsKuJyTXUuc5SqjzZC3ASkJKwTfwUm6EOdqMLXVrSZvU/s200/2012-06-23_12-49-12_910.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL_M4RcDdlidDBGCzBTVxv_EHjttGzqWGPJWizB-v0GT9kbCidZ8R1_pWFKnJr_z_xBwvnSq6jhwFghrXTxu__0fBbLRhT86gL0CzkyqZrXYp9jYpnX3XowOGsDNOjHhdF4HaspM6VBYE/s1600/2012-06-23_12-48-23_58.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL_M4RcDdlidDBGCzBTVxv_EHjttGzqWGPJWizB-v0GT9kbCidZ8R1_pWFKnJr_z_xBwvnSq6jhwFghrXTxu__0fBbLRhT86gL0CzkyqZrXYp9jYpnX3XowOGsDNOjHhdF4HaspM6VBYE/s200/2012-06-23_12-48-23_58.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39yS94l-M_-ehfw27R5DaAgULaFP0sCnDzuBU-RJmFTIgf8iwFoYK30IrsFEmgPK-ehG97NHBw9q7XzAYgVx500ltSnhq_6huzPmaqni3NSriTUnXsLlpJyopwUTGUFJZ1usvusypFJo/s1600/2012-06-21_20-03-32_696.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39yS94l-M_-ehfw27R5DaAgULaFP0sCnDzuBU-RJmFTIgf8iwFoYK30IrsFEmgPK-ehG97NHBw9q7XzAYgVx500ltSnhq_6huzPmaqni3NSriTUnXsLlpJyopwUTGUFJZ1usvusypFJo/s200/2012-06-21_20-03-32_696.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmObYdTDp455k8mRzhzCIvXcI_YRPhHD-ewhWnuSOba2lFkHLkgeja0TpZGkYZcAkDqO4Y7e6Cjyp3EpvJJVHUMvgBeQAYYX6EZ-rjhS9Zxp1aXt2nIvUJxfiKxJVGesQvkh-15070t-8/s1600/2012-06-21_19-53-30_975.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmObYdTDp455k8mRzhzCIvXcI_YRPhHD-ewhWnuSOba2lFkHLkgeja0TpZGkYZcAkDqO4Y7e6Cjyp3EpvJJVHUMvgBeQAYYX6EZ-rjhS9Zxp1aXt2nIvUJxfiKxJVGesQvkh-15070t-8/s200/2012-06-21_19-53-30_975.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgil1vVUZgI-DawaICZmZEOaFdUO9tvecmX8GG1NMSp-Ng-w12oNCelOyeWcJwdPDitFUcJqGFozEb4NsawTswWlErmzFUmTlgxoLzzLcDbky01SOUrd0Ep6fJaV3iiXYdyWHVlpK4sSEE/s1600/2012-06-21_19-57-29_481.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgil1vVUZgI-DawaICZmZEOaFdUO9tvecmX8GG1NMSp-Ng-w12oNCelOyeWcJwdPDitFUcJqGFozEb4NsawTswWlErmzFUmTlgxoLzzLcDbky01SOUrd0Ep6fJaV3iiXYdyWHVlpK4sSEE/s200/2012-06-21_19-57-29_481.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodFCd399g0BR2SyB4ENGW-4MJeiGx1l-37IupIpo8qr0WYECjiWOdvyfm4qH_fUiHv03iKJT3HRt8ZRH7DNdM_m2-fekVBpcJFPtTwWVsCkSFubVW8Gjsleys-Em9VGr8YbI1eCds3rY/s1600/2012-06-23_12-52-33_253.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodFCd399g0BR2SyB4ENGW-4MJeiGx1l-37IupIpo8qr0WYECjiWOdvyfm4qH_fUiHv03iKJT3HRt8ZRH7DNdM_m2-fekVBpcJFPtTwWVsCkSFubVW8Gjsleys-Em9VGr8YbI1eCds3rY/s200/2012-06-23_12-52-33_253.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpljMpknjXUVxQLefwx7jIgszPxl2eegDAzYf51YgmEG1CX_DuWi6JVojQ0jNMblkvfYPa9kKYr-Mv40NRyCDYibwtIRzfL36SKvUher_KhpPxoAcPVHBQKt42o35iTohuu4Sw-e-wAQU/s1600/2012-06-23_12-53-47_637.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpljMpknjXUVxQLefwx7jIgszPxl2eegDAzYf51YgmEG1CX_DuWi6JVojQ0jNMblkvfYPa9kKYr-Mv40NRyCDYibwtIRzfL36SKvUher_KhpPxoAcPVHBQKt42o35iTohuu4Sw-e-wAQU/s200/2012-06-23_12-53-47_637.jpg" width="200" /></a> The remainder of the evening we just socialized, played games etc. After a good nights rest we arose to a delicious breakfast of pancakes and the works.

Marla had planned something for the kids, ladies and the men. Mark had everything ready for the men to make marshmallow blow guns and then after they finished they had a little war out in the trees..kinda like paint ball. I was busy doing my craft and didn't even think to take any pictures, which makes me mad, because it was so great and everyone of them were out hiding and shooting and having so much fun! The kids painted their own frisbee's and beach balls. They had a lot of fun doing that also. The ladies all made a journal with a composition book and scrapbook papers and some vinyl. We really enjoyed making that and I even brought some extra stuff home to make a few more for the girls in my family. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6snyRKByCtFCPkp2H9fza92ZD76e3ohs0d_8DNfV4tMF7XwWQgPSWGa-wzvGovpolmD_IK-6vVCi-3XDd9Sw7t2x7kPsowr4fC9B5move4FTL6qrc0jv8dxOkmzcS7-K7LeyW7rpAEQ/s1600/1340385502899.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6snyRKByCtFCPkp2H9fza92ZD76e3ohs0d_8DNfV4tMF7XwWQgPSWGa-wzvGovpolmD_IK-6vVCi-3XDd9Sw7t2x7kPsowr4fC9B5move4FTL6qrc0jv8dxOkmzcS7-K7LeyW7rpAEQ/s200/1340385502899.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7GrSs77HbJm8qFYfGk9pwWyF8-_PZ8hDBxyBCcS9iFgHw7fvrCzCZrTn7ohYTx6IwqlbQGlE9U21go7P2JC-7YWHBSph-nJQvAEitehekfK03WCUR1Txd3cfdAqvT4NG1QqpjArhz06E/s1600/1340385471536.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7GrSs77HbJm8qFYfGk9pwWyF8-_PZ8hDBxyBCcS9iFgHw7fvrCzCZrTn7ohYTx6IwqlbQGlE9U21go7P2JC-7YWHBSph-nJQvAEitehekfK03WCUR1Txd3cfdAqvT4NG1QqpjArhz06E/s200/1340385471536.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6QJbyUeJ6oDrQXXgb-y-VDAMifIyT4W2eRfsBgvHkUXCig0mApDYGx3o35f89Dc04fHdn-65olttO0kIh7b_8wRZSlGO2_knfCITSLyMbv75pfkGG_2Ak4v8z6tct5Gjx3KfDNyuQPY/s1600/1340385636911.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6QJbyUeJ6oDrQXXgb-y-VDAMifIyT4W2eRfsBgvHkUXCig0mApDYGx3o35f89Dc04fHdn-65olttO0kIh7b_8wRZSlGO2_knfCITSLyMbv75pfkGG_2Ak4v8z6tct5Gjx3KfDNyuQPY/s200/1340385636911.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh09euFLgfBIH05vMVGS-MyH0sOE9XabmZITnsyWlxK5B7WEVQryzmJeuSw_LZh__lZhBRHTaWgJZLvK6fjd5DelwFKBKEhA54OPMmaQeBOCpbH5llprqCBIdf-iIOOWCUFuVAWDV63xd0/s1600/1340385722866.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh09euFLgfBIH05vMVGS-MyH0sOE9XabmZITnsyWlxK5B7WEVQryzmJeuSw_LZh__lZhBRHTaWgJZLvK6fjd5DelwFKBKEhA54OPMmaQeBOCpbH5llprqCBIdf-iIOOWCUFuVAWDV63xd0/s200/1340385722866.jpg" width="200" /></a> After having lunch we got ready to head down to the river. There were some hot pots along the river, I thought it would be fun to sit in them and we also took our tubes down in case we decided to float down the river. When we got there the hot pots were really just that, HOT! I couldn't believe how hot they were...and the river...it was COLD! I didn't take my camera down to take any pictures so again..nothing to show for it. Larry, Richard and Ben (Emily's fiance') decided to take the plunge and head down the river on some tubes. They were pretty successful, although Larry kinda got put on the side of the river where he didn't really have a place to get out. He ended up climbing up a pretty steep mountain side to get to a road to walk back. I found a spot to sit along the bank where it was sometimes warm and sometimes cold...it was weird. The kids all had fun playing in the water and Jennie and Emily also got brave enough to try tubing the river. The afternoon was very enjoyable. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipegRb56GjyoOc_6vQ4s8Gq2UzkzjiJvc6Y9qbeI2DUgFaqL5GdvUKGZifBd6XVYcyX8G72Lchad6JcS9HQPQaW9RGWhH0CTBCARhvsZa6N-jSv5vwj8HH2RDXcpABkWbap_XcuvD89dA/s1600/1340378863270.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipegRb56GjyoOc_6vQ4s8Gq2UzkzjiJvc6Y9qbeI2DUgFaqL5GdvUKGZifBd6XVYcyX8G72Lchad6JcS9HQPQaW9RGWhH0CTBCARhvsZa6N-jSv5vwj8HH2RDXcpABkWbap_XcuvD89dA/s200/1340378863270.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkyfrTOUNw3QOEZWPYBwYmCvAkGktuG7bh5isrSL1B_j_KN-2HiQYO5lLs-74tEG3k24oIBSGoCOrGwLaHROWVmuTb2nygNRqR_ZPL7PrUhVbVlaHAfavEqmOhyphenhyphenqPI_cfdOdxh7w98gAA/s1600/1340378870269.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkyfrTOUNw3QOEZWPYBwYmCvAkGktuG7bh5isrSL1B_j_KN-2HiQYO5lLs-74tEG3k24oIBSGoCOrGwLaHROWVmuTb2nygNRqR_ZPL7PrUhVbVlaHAfavEqmOhyphenhyphenqPI_cfdOdxh7w98gAA/s200/1340378870269.jpg" width="200" /></a> That evening we had a yummy dutch oven dinner of chicken and potatos. And on the schedule that evening was a dutch oven dessert cook off from the men of our families. Each had brought their own recipe of a delicious dessert. (I'm sure the wives all helped, I know I helped Larry) While those were baking we had our annual raffle. This year I made 4 sets of 6 homemade cards. There were a lot of other fun things there too. I was fairly lucky and ended up with Bonnie's quilt, Roberta's table runner, a hair band that Becky had sent, a menu board made by Georgia and also a cool apron for Larry to use when he is grilling. After the raffle it was time to try out all the desserts....YUMMMY! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01swf3nx9JEOpNFz833suwF5dvU6W0-XduHYcPr7_vj7dxQPxvkaHhfW8A0KoBGVi3l-VVbIWEQ4klOpZmw7Hn5294p-2meBHwt9bDgldrxgkaBPvnk6d-jQpOWjsMegi5A3VF6NgDSM/s1600/1340421680987.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj01swf3nx9JEOpNFz833suwF5dvU6W0-XduHYcPr7_vj7dxQPxvkaHhfW8A0KoBGVi3l-VVbIWEQ4klOpZmw7Hn5294p-2meBHwt9bDgldrxgkaBPvnk6d-jQpOWjsMegi5A3VF6NgDSM/s320/1340421680987.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRC0NLCpTkynVzdvLXrh8kEb5ScqfWTe7dOU8jGBWEXHw4AEnpOolCJXLQnGUxaOWBFjgdOGN2mdclkhIcIyxVaDpGknTylWzoP-J0x-mJpr_LINgFCw5ihrlNp6BnYbnf1qDu04bWhk/s1600/1340421739353.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRC0NLCpTkynVzdvLXrh8kEb5ScqfWTe7dOU8jGBWEXHw4AEnpOolCJXLQnGUxaOWBFjgdOGN2mdclkhIcIyxVaDpGknTylWzoP-J0x-mJpr_LINgFCw5ihrlNp6BnYbnf1qDu04bWhk/s320/1340421739353.jpg" width="320" /></a> The rest of the night was spent around the fire, playing games, visiting ect. The next morning we had breakfast in a bag for breakfast. Fun to make and delicious to eat. We then had our family meeting and talked about our families and things that had happen over the past year. I love this time of hearing about my sisters families and my nieces and nephews and how they are doing. My family is so important to me and I want to know about how they are all doing and what is happening in their lives. After the meeting we had some down time until lunch so most of us finished up getting our camps cleaned up. We had all done some of that earlier in the morning when it was cooler. After lunch we helped Marla and Mark and the girls finish up cleaning up our area and then got packed up. Roberta and Keith and my Uncle Lee, who had left earlier that morning, headed home. The rest of us went on over to the Hegorhorst Farm and finished the weekend there. Thanks Hegerhorst and all your work. We had a great time at the reunion this year!! <br />

The last of my aunts and uncles, the thought makes you see life in a whole new light. It seems odd to see yourself as the older generation, I surely don't feel like I am. Don't worry it will happen to all of you. My mother was the youngest in her family until she turned 18 and then a baby brother was born in her family. My Uncle LeRoy (he prefers to go by Lee) was born not too far before my oldest sisters, so he actually seems to be more like a nephew on the family tree than the Uncle. Since I am sooooooooooooooooooo much younger however he is much more an uncle to me. :) While we were out to Vernal for Garrett's wedding I had the opportunity to spend the day with him. He has always been so supportive of our family and is good to come to anything he possibly can. I hope that he will be able to attend our Willard Family Reunion this month. I know he will be there if he can. On the side note, Larry and I usually get season tickets to the play at Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake City, and to make a long story short, Uncle Lee and Aunt Kathy have decided to join us this year. I look forward to spending a monthly date with him this Fall and Winter. Love you Uncle Lee <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnf-wM7Xmuuv6vPkcep0dDerZ0I4tqmaoaAN6_zqqeuQNqflfcXjNO_msqMzJsjQYPFSDi9cz2S92BR6K5Xm_NfRpIcTTvgUburuqZ6NSW4Z45hzDMZc6yvbW3ky6RSHXNAx5YPeXCZco/s1600/phone+pics+May+2012+033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnf-wM7Xmuuv6vPkcep0dDerZ0I4tqmaoaAN6_zqqeuQNqflfcXjNO_msqMzJsjQYPFSDi9cz2S92BR6K5Xm_NfRpIcTTvgUburuqZ6NSW4Z45hzDMZc6yvbW3ky6RSHXNAx5YPeXCZco/s400/phone+pics+May+2012+033.jpg" width="400" /></a> <br />
My Uncle Lee and all my sisters<br />
This past Memorial Day Larry and I made a spur of momment decision and went to Idaho to decorate the graves. What a long day, but that's a whole different story. Anyway, my father's sister that is just about an year and a half older than he was was turning 90 years old. I had sent her a card because I didn't think I'd see her. She had a big birthday party that her kids did for her the week before, but her actual birthday was on Memorial Day this year. Anyway, after we decorated graves in Wendell, Aunt June arrived to decorate her family graves. We told her we would help her, but she said "I don't know if I will be here next year and I want to decorate all my famiies graves myself." All but one of her siblings are buried there in the Wendell Cememtary,that would be 8 of them, along with her parents and grandparents. Her sister Beauton is in Twin Falls and actually Aunt June will be buried in Shoshone next to her husband. After we finished at the cemetary went back to my niece Katie's house. Some of the family like to have a little potluck and it became a little birthday party for my Aunt June. She looked very good and was still getting around very well. Still glad to have her around. Love you too Aunt June.

On May 11th a dear nephew was married in the Vernal Temple. Garrett chose a cute and wonderful girl from Vernal, Kaitlynn Winn. The funnny thing is that I've known her since she was born also. I lived right around the corner from her parents and we were in the same ward in Vernal. Anyway, she's a very cute girl with a wonderful family. I was so happy for him and it was so evident by the smile on his face that he was an extremely happy young man that day. Amazingly they also had the opportunity to buy home before they were married.

Not many young couples are able to do that. It's also fun that he is living in Kaitlyn's and my old ward. I've got spies that can keep an eye on him.

Garrett is a special nephew as I was also able to be his 2nd grade teacher, so I spent a lot of time with him. He called me Miss Willard at school and sometimes when I was over at their house I had to tell him he could call me Aunt Patsy and that we were off the clock. I don't know it really mattered what he called me, the class all knew he was my nephew.

I really don't have favorites when it comes to my 28 nieces and nephews, I love them all very much. (Don't want any of the others to think I have favorites.) I've had a lot of time to spend with them all and they are all a special part of my life. However, I did have opportunity to be even a bigger part of Garrett's life and I'm happy that he has been successful so far and hope for great things for him in his and his new family's lives. Best of luck to Garrett and Kaitlynn!! May you cherish each other and always remember this special day and how much you love each other. Love to you from me.
On a side note, all my sisters were there and so we had to take a few pictures together and so I wanted to add some of those to this post. It is always good to be with my family. I'm grateful that we try to stay in touch and are there to support each other and our families. Love you sisters and hubbies!!

I know that it doesn't work too well to try and go back to all the things you've missed posting, but I just have to put some of these things down as I like to use this as a bit of a journal.<br />

I'm going to go clear back to December of 2011. We were all so excited as a family to have Nate and Steph come up. They had moved to Las Vegas from Georgia and we hadn't been able to get together as a whole family since they moved. Steph was pregnant with their first and was due the first week of March.<br />

With her family in Georgia we wanted Steph to have a baby shower, so we decided while they were here we would have a baby shower.

We also enjoyed Christmas Eve together as a family. Nate and Steph needed to leave Christmas Day, so we felt Christmas Eve would work best. I asked the girls to each make a soup and then I ordered bread bowls and also made a soup. Along with a few other things added to our meal, we really enjoyed our evening with visiting and having fun together. As you can see I must have been very busy just enjoying the family, because the only picuter I got was this one of Chris a little out of it. <br />

(Not really, we were just having a bit of fun.) The next morning Larry and I opened our gifts together and made phone calls to the kids. And this is the problem with not writing it down right away, but I believe it was the next day that we went to the cabin to spend the rest of the Christmas Vacation. There was hardly any snow as you will see in the pics. We did do a little snowmobiling, but stayed totally on the roads. I read a lot and enjoyed just being a bum and relaxing. <br />

Well...even though Nate and Steph's baby was due the first week of March she ended up coming on February 23, 2012. Avonlea Mary-Hazel Walker was born at 9:42PM Pacific Time. We would have liked to go down right away, but didn't quite work into our schedule. Although the best Aunt and Uncle, Shannon and Chris, went down the week after she was born. Spring Break was coming up the first week of April so decided to wait until then.<br />

We thought it would be fun to make it a family affair, so Larry and I went down in Jamie's Burb, along with Jamie,of course,Dallin, Zac and Shannon went back down with us. Jamie and us stayed at a hotel and Shannon stayed at Nate and Steph's. We were there about 3 days and just enjoyed playing with Avonlea and doing a little shopping, of course out to eat and visiting. I just have to share a "few" pics. :) <br />

Avonlea is now 3 months old and getting cuter everyday. I thought I'd also through in some of her professional pics that make her look even cuter. <br />

In May a previous student and my nephew, Garrett got married. I am excited for him as he seems so HAPPY, but I think I will actually do a small post on that seperately after this one is finished or else this will be very long. Just to bring us up to date now. Last Thursday our eldest granddaughter, Starley Polei graduated from Tooele High School. It was the day before school got out for me and it was in Salt Lake City at the Huntsman Center at 4:00pm. <br />

Larry and I both wanted to be there and so I found someone at school that could watch my class for the last 1 1/2 hours of the day so I could get away and make it in there for it. Jamie and Bruce volunteered to pick me up that way I could just meet Larry in there. So I hurried home and got ready. <br />

It was suppose to be best dressed, which I thankful that they did. On a side note, I'm glad that they wanted to make this a true Pomp and Circumstance affair, and not have people coming in just whatever they wanted. Although there was a few there in whatever, most were well dressed. <br />

Anyway off my soap box....it was a nice evening and I liked that the kids did most of the whole thing themselves. The only speakers were from their class and a couple of muical numbers also from the class. It was really nice, and as always we only got a few pictures after as she was flitting here and there to see friends. She went out to dinner afterwards with her mother and Trevor and so we went out with Bruce and Jamie and Dallin. <br />

It was a very pleasant evening. We have Jennsen graduating next year so I thought that it would be like this year and that Stansbury High would graduate after Tooele again and that way graduation wouldn't be until 7:00pm....but after looking at the district's calendar for next year they are flip flopping, so looks like I'll be finding someone to watch my class again next year. Oh well!!! <br />

Well, this isn't super detailed but it is long enough and it has basically caught me up on the main events since I wrote last. Life is good and family is all important. I'm grateful for Larry's kids and being able to be a part of their families. It's been a good year thus far and I'm sure there are many more good things to come in 2012. <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px;" /></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-60869333174539253752011-11-12T18:46:00.036-07:002011-11-20T16:34:37.061-07:00Hawaii Five-O<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4-oOCCCA8C7NMbmtY2cNXnDKI8Dq6v3sosG2hkyBP8rXJQ6OC8M2eNCBamJl7RaH9wMlaVM6RA772CeIQT8mBx1HLf7mvZe_2vCFdAoDCCVdVRBA_C-clBzbj1gKvyTeIy0IMn2MZt0o/s1600/IMGP0528.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4-oOCCCA8C7NMbmtY2cNXnDKI8Dq6v3sosG2hkyBP8rXJQ6OC8M2eNCBamJl7RaH9wMlaVM6RA772CeIQT8mBx1HLf7mvZe_2vCFdAoDCCVdVRBA_C-clBzbj1gKvyTeIy0IMn2MZt0o/s200/IMGP0528.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674310991192411634" /></a><br />The first of this year we received a phone call from Marriott Resorts. They had a good deal to go to Hawaii, of course the good deal had a catch of coming to a meeting for them to talk you in to buying in on a vacation time share with them. Anyway, Larry thought it would be fun for me as I had never been there, he said he had already been there and didn't really care if he went back....so this was basically for me, which was very sweet and thoughtful of him. Larry suggested that we make plans to go during the summer while I was off work, but I told him that I didn't want to go in the summer when it was warm here. I would rather go during the fall or winter. After all was said and done we planned to go over UEA in October, then I could take some of personal days and still have some extra time with the vacation that we were on from school. It just so happened that the UEA vacation was the 20th and 21st of October. That made it even better, because I could spend my 50th birthday in the 50th state. Then people started saying that I could do the Hawaii Five-O thing. Very funny, but anyway it was perfect.

We enjoyed all the stops at each of the island shows and the parade on the water. Shannon and Zac both got a temporary Hawaiian tattoo. We also stayed to see the main show called "Ha....breath of Life" It was a late night getting home, but so worth it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The next day we planned on going over to the Flea Market at Aloha Stadium. We planned on picking up our gifts and souvenirs there, but unknown to us the Warriors had a game that day and so the market was not going to be open. We would have to go back the next day. Since that through a wrench in our plans for the day we tried to decide what to do. Larry and I had our meeting that day and so we would have to be back at the resort by 2:00. We figured that we had time to go up to the Dole Plantation for the morning and then we could be back and everyone else could just enjoy the resort and play around.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpSpxlxBBNzQnrnLo6k2M9Es-6qi_Fys3e5NyCnrgDEDg75WoDSSS08Ssz8xicqZK6d5iEUkpkhl_JUFbJzyX2FtXNkgmXF4fuZuOctyGa5c-_6Sj7tCqBEYMUNia1-DIkJczHdPadTPo/s1600/2011-10-22_09-08-50_641.jpg"><img style="float:right;

We girls enjoyed doing that. Zac got himself a Island tattoo on his face. He thought that was great. It was a great buffet and great entertainment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sunday was my big "50", and since we had not been able to get our gifts the day before as we had planned, we had to go that day since that was the only day left that they would be open before we left Monday evening. Talk about a major shopping experience!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />We also decided to drive to the North Shore to see some waves. There was a high wave warning for that day and so we wanted to see some surfing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Kfw99kgUYODjpcwMnvJXi0WkOMOqFcR5Q6LI81CVttOx57IBGAmCp6RdQGi_WvecuayeYyObq3-z8p_JxNGISOzPRmZi-8AQ6gm1cWcFTB7z0IP5TBFWDKKcamLkHzK5t2e0kt7QUjk/s1600/2011-10-22_08-44-48_346.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Kfw99kgUYODjpcwMnvJXi0WkOMOqFcR5Q6LI81CVttOx57IBGAmCp6RdQGi_WvecuayeYyObq3-z8p_JxNGISOzPRmZi-8AQ6gm1cWcFTB7z0IP5TBFWDKKcamLkHzK5t2e0kt7QUjk/s200/2011-10-22_08-44-48_346.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674606453007492450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRqT8X2VX4e92kgCDwf4eNaYFZEpvqvNKwNNCGHrYYoooq0QxxZXuDUXQSo2S2_DxvPD2TSA2C6Oh8h_1ahQuJsAxWzguC_Pt1KbSwO1HoFADTBkpVCpR03r-tbFZYyP5vTV8IKupt9c/s1600/2011-10-22_08-49-32_164.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRqT8X2VX4e92kgCDwf4eNaYFZEpvqvNKwNNCGHrYYoooq0QxxZXuDUXQSo2S2_DxvPD2TSA2C6Oh8h_1ahQuJsAxWzguC_Pt1KbSwO1HoFADTBkpVCpR03r-tbFZYyP5vTV8IKupt9c/s200/2011-10-22_08-49-32_164.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674606441518997058" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4oOnysuVqmdKIYPyzsCRawLiegOK8AB5QGCiHCHHIfgyMDBCdaFAYk6qJ1qZxHOFZn6yBaHT7NqAZ6CfPd8BiAEIH6ma2vY2HOCBuArbtCgQ3YIGuLYgkIhF_8J-Bz9W_bAakcZcl4A4/s1600/2011-10-23_14-13-26_139.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4oOnysuVqmdKIYPyzsCRawLiegOK8AB5QGCiHCHHIfgyMDBCdaFAYk6qJ1qZxHOFZn6yBaHT7NqAZ6CfPd8BiAEIH6ma2vY2HOCBuArbtCgQ3YIGuLYgkIhF_8J-Bz9W_bAakcZcl4A4/s200/2011-10-23_14-13-26_139.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674606436751337682" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguzb6_v-7TGViyejtIC_EfXIMFVqdge8dTDMFhBRB_e8SbZdv6kUdw6fK3u72akCbXtU1i0c5jVX1XOa5yk6Kc0zykg1hDK5vdXcLvZvhmjiSVyuwMvE2RhcJvhK_vAMGlHbOSvyD3Kxg/s1600/IMGP0707.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguzb6_v-7TGViyejtIC_EfXIMFVqdge8dTDMFhBRB_e8SbZdv6kUdw6fK3u72akCbXtU1i0c5jVX1XOa5yk6Kc0zykg1hDK5vdXcLvZvhmjiSVyuwMvE2RhcJvhK_vAMGlHbOSvyD3Kxg/s200/IMGP0707.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674603374521925250" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBp6twHOS_DYrn4O5W2uz_G5v8NaG7BgoHaoFypxOOU41vxPepgfRuOxaZs6bZwAQbvsLP_AhngpgENjoQyFpBXJYjWgSYxu9r5SysE-9-6HASusbQRvCyABtQ55B1Pv2imDeoZSf60W8/s1600/IMGP0700.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBp6twHOS_DYrn4O5W2uz_G5v8NaG7BgoHaoFypxOOU41vxPepgfRuOxaZs6bZwAQbvsLP_AhngpgENjoQyFpBXJYjWgSYxu9r5SysE-9-6HASusbQRvCyABtQ55B1Pv2imDeoZSf60W8/s200/IMGP0700.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674603365892350626" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWKUaZh4zUtmv1_8kOux_Kpo8MLsppEeZuM3MMaJmrFfqYF9TYc6Nxvm5W7ItRT_sobmHN7bb8cj2M8ld2iGGsAAihFQTqy6DrVkCIzYXTRUiz6OzV_BopTu8WO_7-Wc_HYlKw7aGkSWc/s1600/IMGP0719.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWKUaZh4zUtmv1_8kOux_Kpo8MLsppEeZuM3MMaJmrFfqYF9TYc6Nxvm5W7ItRT_sobmHN7bb8cj2M8ld2iGGsAAihFQTqy6DrVkCIzYXTRUiz6OzV_BopTu8WO_7-Wc_HYlKw7aGkSWc/s200/IMGP0719.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674604570497922290" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq3SgMdWNNHTj1ZZEK3gzwCWeqhyJzmZDCQ40Cj2hZfO9jDEJFF6SCqFX2yy-c8wO8Or5AqlgYCgLbLnwWndsoMdCAZEWHuyti_D6G29uWBzSrNuSwxobiDlNPzOAUYQ2hcTbteXePd9A/s1600/2011-10-23_15-27-09_450.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq3SgMdWNNHTj1ZZEK3gzwCWeqhyJzmZDCQ40Cj2hZfO9jDEJFF6SCqFX2yy-c8wO8Or5AqlgYCgLbLnwWndsoMdCAZEWHuyti_D6G29uWBzSrNuSwxobiDlNPzOAUYQ2hcTbteXePd9A/s200/2011-10-23_15-27-09_450.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674609653263696322" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We also found a good place for Zac to go snorkeling again. He really loved doing that. The waves were great and we also saw some of the surfers out. Just driving up there was like rush hour. We then came back and enjoyed the rest of the day back at the the resort and then went out to eat that evening for my birthday. It was a nice day, but I missed my Sabbath feeling.<br /><br />Monday was our final day. Our plane flight was that evening around 9:00pm. So we checked out of the resort that morning and left our luggage with the bell hops and headed out for something I was really looking forward to.....Pearl Harbor!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXT0B31seX6-Fm9nj04VRpB1u4MTtNmF_ZaLw_V4YFXxqaS8fc9_doTznr1Cqgg2UMsaVz6tWFd_c_8Gxp2CXSK8c_hGPTMHZ2seI6hex2pCTHSdBRxaaIHDdkv1J4vyxsNr5GV8qSZls/s1600/2011-10-24_08-27-08_857.jpg"><img style="float:right;

I even took pictures of the oil, which they call black tears, that is still coming up from the ship. We learned that since it is the 70th anniversary this December, that one of the men that was assigned to the Arizon, but was not on the ship at the time, has passed away and his family have plans to bury him with his shipmates on that date. I didn't realize that they did that still. Always interesting things to learn.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0vhi-hojL2TCriUtI0v51a5bwxA3ITjV1wU2FZET3yokhOxlghYEYrSZm-9Ev80EgCojjB9vuoR1ByiRWz74yr4wo23K3dl9dy_-4BgKLrwaML1EtNqoXDfO4PsxJSVlnPpzHT22D5E/s1600/2011-10-24_15-00-23_421.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0vhi-hojL2TCriUtI0v51a5bwxA3ITjV1wU2FZET3yokhOxlghYEYrSZm-9Ev80EgCojjB9vuoR1ByiRWz74yr4wo23K3dl9dy_-4BgKLrwaML1EtNqoXDfO4PsxJSVlnPpzHT22D5E/s200/2011-10-24_15-00-23_421.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674620424989729298" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiWjBez_Dp26MV0oc6TxFjuAtgWWoC0z6RR4wznntDHrjWptpWb2tBO9hy_oYouyB9rum_ilBcqZN3-ryDj5vAxVR9IMo_DWpVMdWRKV5IXtffmO_qA255erx6BSIQrDQlVt2n-NFNDqE/s1600/2011-10-24_13-09-00_573.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiWjBez_Dp26MV0oc6TxFjuAtgWWoC0z6RR4wznntDHrjWptpWb2tBO9hy_oYouyB9rum_ilBcqZN3-ryDj5vAxVR9IMo_DWpVMdWRKV5IXtffmO_qA255erx6BSIQrDQlVt2n-NFNDqE/s200/2011-10-24_13-09-00_573.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674620423257791586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLNxHcNLlOo2CV9IbiVyf2oIPMkLzUW-PKPP0JRJT7KMUzWfHJxhBLHfQ_VwAXdMuyytNeSlT5UEVykdj741v09SIEroWDevcwOSNYLPqDrsYka3sh9oaqK4pI0D3p9q7KVCKP_vKeFo/s1600/2011-10-24_13-36-14_880.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQLNxHcNLlOo2CV9IbiVyf2oIPMkLzUW-PKPP0JRJT7KMUzWfHJxhBLHfQ_VwAXdMuyytNeSlT5UEVykdj741v09SIEroWDevcwOSNYLPqDrsYka3sh9oaqK4pI0D3p9q7KVCKP_vKeFo/s200/2011-10-24_13-36-14_880.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674615226227981618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoShCrB8f6mqYWLr7X604UH7JfdzEe7fpKR0UytG_ItL_Me39RM2a8coBQd4kaSY6E8Gqz8_IUeheoLSKYgxmPWtLcwZJkRZMvmPKgRPRrx1QGHssE9Kdvh8d70PgkDiFCZP1WEPkYKzo/s1600/2011-10-24_13-46-09_219.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoShCrB8f6mqYWLr7X604UH7JfdzEe7fpKR0UytG_ItL_Me39RM2a8coBQd4kaSY6E8Gqz8_IUeheoLSKYgxmPWtLcwZJkRZMvmPKgRPRrx1QGHssE9Kdvh8d70PgkDiFCZP1WEPkYKzo/s200/2011-10-24_13-46-09_219.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674615217443732882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEdDozrdtzujOTbO6yGfhlFV1RX1aVlzrUun8o-KNRYokyTt_Xymg6VPg9ZtXi9gs9kbBFV14ze5uc2nY3W0BcF7pu5E-s-pvrngINXw1BsoewtfbMIurMFkeWn7v7e7r7mXdXLL1JvN0/s1600/2011-10-24_14-42-04_910.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEdDozrdtzujOTbO6yGfhlFV1RX1aVlzrUun8o-KNRYokyTt_Xymg6VPg9ZtXi9gs9kbBFV14ze5uc2nY3W0BcF7pu5E-s-pvrngINXw1BsoewtfbMIurMFkeWn7v7e7r7mXdXLL1JvN0/s200/2011-10-24_14-42-04_910.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674615211696968466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUv_0uNDXQYvBpywBNq91BnpWzjRsowCzZDu0do-T9KAXP6Z778URr8qE87ZdrqpMRlalBf3kfdaZuOBUHs9FoaKMjjODEhJMnvCLWo1Loku-q_yWOCkuIO2oxUe2VRwzBX9MfLcTW-s/s1600/2011-10-24_14-41-14_90.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUv_0uNDXQYvBpywBNq91BnpWzjRsowCzZDu0do-T9KAXP6Z778URr8qE87ZdrqpMRlalBf3kfdaZuOBUHs9FoaKMjjODEhJMnvCLWo1Loku-q_yWOCkuIO2oxUe2VRwzBX9MfLcTW-s/s200/2011-10-24_14-41-14_90.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674615209574500146" /></a><br /><br />We also went over to tour the USS Missouri (which is the ship that the Japanese surrendered on.) and then on over to the Aviation Museum. Jennsen was excited about this because she is into the Ghost Hunter shows....the museum was on that show. One of the manikins named, Kramer, is always in a different position in the morning when the workers show up. So we had to take pictures with Kramer.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDsJnqECf2PMaUNEGnpdJ-qk09bokOTrYf84LOQYN6c3dnXjv3FvWI0KBrIYK1nfp3e6IQuf32lkvoBj0vajXz7O86en8LOwE7yvlF8Q-iENhKyLb1y8CUjffWIW1VYJ_juvLKliRmis/s1600/IMGP0763.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDsJnqECf2PMaUNEGnpdJ-qk09bokOTrYf84LOQYN6c3dnXjv3FvWI0KBrIYK1nfp3e6IQuf32lkvoBj0vajXz7O86en8LOwE7yvlF8Q-iENhKyLb1y8CUjffWIW1VYJ_juvLKliRmis/s200/IMGP0763.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674625203364671826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluLVUTmnrT0OU2q84V5D9fx6Q0pQaDAvPEbusAXAQUvr55ButveBRFruskbZvXcBWrr0ZGNburtLarGiLJBdTGgSuXlqrI2nGIhbl_Ip3Axlrp17hC8VEdyASx9XxTA4ddKXTAbKDc5Y/s1600/2011-10-24_15-56-20_790.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluLVUTmnrT0OU2q84V5D9fx6Q0pQaDAvPEbusAXAQUvr55ButveBRFruskbZvXcBWrr0ZGNburtLarGiLJBdTGgSuXlqrI2nGIhbl_Ip3Axlrp17hC8VEdyASx9XxTA4ddKXTAbKDc5Y/s200/2011-10-24_15-56-20_790.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674623365387337378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB5YrBCdKuT1prw_B4ROWkq01rVKV7FO5kzDK4TTCG5SSKn-PlbfIrGKYy0-lohv5M7hyphenhyphen6gUikOAnapMuYSUL6zHcODoN8EMnh3w0eecze8iX7ADKygKcMSB0cAxpu54qtNj8SO5jbh0w/s1600/2011-10-24_15-55-35_492.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB5YrBCdKuT1prw_B4ROWkq01rVKV7FO5kzDK4TTCG5SSKn-PlbfIrGKYy0-lohv5M7hyphenhyphen6gUikOAnapMuYSUL6zHcODoN8EMnh3w0eecze8iX7ADKygKcMSB0cAxpu54qtNj8SO5jbh0w/s200/2011-10-24_15-55-35_492.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674623359688812674" /></a><br /> <br />I also took pictures in Hanger 79 of the actual broken window panes from bullets from the bombing of Pearl Harbor. What a excellent day. We finished in time to head back to the resort and eat and get our bags and then off to the airport. <br />I loved my Hawaii Five-O adventure!! We loved having the family along too!! I would love to do it again, if I can only talk Larry into going again (I think he had more fun that he will admit.)....maybe to another island! <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-72616619412180196492011-09-23T17:06:00.021-06:002011-09-23T20:44:52.186-06:00A Little Catching Up To Do!It seems that once school gets close to starting and for the 1st month I just don't find time to sit down here and type. Because I was moving to a room inside the building this year, I had a ton to do to get my new room ready, so I was out to the school some in July and quite a bit in Aug. We started back to work on the 16th or was it the 17th? Anyway, I was very involved trying to get things going there. However there are a few things that have happened since I wrote the last part of July that I want to be part of my blog, so I'll do a little catching up here.<br />I'll start with how Larry and I celebrated the Days of '47 (24th of July). We did go to the cabin that weekend, but the 24th was on a Sunday, so we decided to go to the Days of '47 rodeo. It had been a long time since either of us had been to it. With our grand daughter, Jennsen, now enjoying her horse and us being a little more involved with her and her horse events, it was a little more in our thinking. So Monday the 25th we headed off to the rodeo, which in now being held at the Maverick Center on the West side of Salt Lake City. I didn't take my camera, but after getting there decided to take a few pics with my phone. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the events. Although the bull riders couldn't seem to stay on for anywhere near the 8 seconds, however we enjoyed the clowns. So I thought I'd share a few pictures. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkDcweIRV0GC5UsO0UH4wJrrOrYVc2nyjAFhlfP1Rs6sKyfZO-dm6MYCw93GY6C6ZjPUg0GxuFQprUwT79UMtjqP7aRV9dyNFngFoxkFdNOVj5UJ7xI-H6A9-Scuxz923d-TnuNhC3DY/s1600/phone+pics+009.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijkDcweIRV0GC5UsO0UH4wJrrOrYVc2nyjAFhlfP1Rs6sKyfZO-dm6MYCw93GY6C6ZjPUg0GxuFQprUwT79UMtjqP7aRV9dyNFngFoxkFdNOVj5UJ7xI-H6A9-Scuxz923d-TnuNhC3DY/s200/phone+pics+009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655700296232516546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VxZRD7g4Q_ngQ0rVLMnW86j0efAJanz5KpDO4pHnvT9gcJT50m1Rx29Tg0cCgiSeL-OO1QZN5eMHd51O-rQHMGarq6vIwPfxHe2mQDvsPAJsCfg0_CatIQGhNNtxE9KrNny0kXlRGAU/s1600/phone+pics+003.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VxZRD7g4Q_ngQ0rVLMnW86j0efAJanz5KpDO4pHnvT9gcJT50m1Rx29Tg0cCgiSeL-OO1QZN5eMHd51O-rQHMGarq6vIwPfxHe2mQDvsPAJsCfg0_CatIQGhNNtxE9KrNny0kXlRGAU/s200/phone+pics+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655700291359832434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPOIpQiZZ5OOhJ5_-lXgfeX964XCY9_ZEB6Omd1OoCHJxzd5c0sIbRBhqV0cJCR0dSFglqNVh5HvwDPktp-jiPmZPz3hDX-HQSTT31gNys1p-KcZAZ0kjnSSrbnUmmF2OvdE8Np4vl8A/s1600/phone+pics+030.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPOIpQiZZ5OOhJ5_-lXgfeX964XCY9_ZEB6Omd1OoCHJxzd5c0sIbRBhqV0cJCR0dSFglqNVh5HvwDPktp-jiPmZPz3hDX-HQSTT31gNys1p-KcZAZ0kjnSSrbnUmmF2OvdE8Np4vl8A/s200/phone+pics+030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655703731168636706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oRhkvffQRK5g3jsWpYDjkeGWR6Ax0asdkwEogqdlAhyphenhyphenwRl8P31BaXD97ln_cuQ4W1jtlg6Oh-H3qI7kK_xEMRs_GD8DyN87wyZww3x3IzeWVaPiO_vhhM57lQRKjrZefTHBldAjclUQ/s1600/phone+pics+029.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oRhkvffQRK5g3jsWpYDjkeGWR6Ax0asdkwEogqdlAhyphenhyphenwRl8P31BaXD97ln_cuQ4W1jtlg6Oh-H3qI7kK_xEMRs_GD8DyN87wyZww3x3IzeWVaPiO_vhhM57lQRKjrZefTHBldAjclUQ/s200/phone+pics+029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655703175812009538" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0yk6yfJzsAR0ZqlRvtdyaJu3kuhk3rceOVVU_7cBHxfEeOExxi_17aZv-3ZqPr0hFA1lkYAcUfOerb-oSw8nGHIUjnAJgBYeHBRRAb7vLL4zK0Rdaws7gtLpO8S2gThecCqt05Ev-PA/s1600/phone+pics+023.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0yk6yfJzsAR0ZqlRvtdyaJu3kuhk3rceOVVU_7cBHxfEeOExxi_17aZv-3ZqPr0hFA1lkYAcUfOerb-oSw8nGHIUjnAJgBYeHBRRAb7vLL4zK0Rdaws7gtLpO8S2gThecCqt05Ev-PA/s200/phone+pics+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655703175405863890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6rwmql07mFCysDbWAxIG0e8Wf0fIYBBPwfy3DKp0YuMgsd6ENtK9dP5RX91ZwHBRK1PdTjTlLHm50HYmLAY_4oJypqIXYcvMA3PzriAxyBG-ZTMW-unqj3lrDdjuhijgaTD6UyOGrq4/s1600/phone+pics+014.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR6rwmql07mFCysDbWAxIG0e8Wf0fIYBBPwfy3DKp0YuMgsd6ENtK9dP5RX91ZwHBRK1PdTjTlLHm50HYmLAY_4oJypqIXYcvMA3PzriAxyBG-ZTMW-unqj3lrDdjuhijgaTD6UyOGrq4/s200/phone+pics+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655703171450633954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8-O79Iv5EIQLfmMdxxtWuYnLvnVkKCLUhp5SDzkOHUIMCJiTTm9639fUQht__DHoFGm25v3Fuj9pFEUhGaAFH-HBUEh2hT0mf-smxjcTg5CR9MjhVRBrwznc1tEKGHFOo3vL6N1Dv8s/s1600/phone+pics+012.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8-O79Iv5EIQLfmMdxxtWuYnLvnVkKCLUhp5SDzkOHUIMCJiTTm9639fUQht__DHoFGm25v3Fuj9pFEUhGaAFH-HBUEh2hT0mf-smxjcTg5CR9MjhVRBrwznc1tEKGHFOo3vL6N1Dv8s/s200/phone+pics+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655703169521036578" /></a><br /><br />As I said before we've been enjoying Jennsen's new love of horses and her beautiful thoroughbred, Sue. She's had her up to the cabin a few times, enjoying riding the horse over the 4 wheelers. She just come along with us if we aren't going too far. I think Sue loves it up there. A couple of weekends ago, Jennsen and Chris got up and put Sue out on her Zip Line and then came in to eat breakfast. About 5 minutes later Jennsen got up to check on her and announced that she was gone. We weren't too worried. We told her to just go out and get her back on the line. We all thought that she would just be close around eating, but she was truly missing. So the hunt was on. We got on the 4 wheelers and started hunting...went through the trees to see if she was just out there and we couldn't see her. Still no Sue! Finally Chris had talked to some kids that were out on their 4 wheelers if they had seen her and they hadn't but he asked them to keep an eye out. They soon came yelling that she was up the road. Sue had actually broken the clip that was holding her to the rope and just decided to take herself on a walk I guess. She had stayed on the road, even on the right side of the road and taken herself on the path that Jennsen had often taken her. Jennsen had been in tears, I'm so happy that she was found. Chris has decided he needs a bit heavier clip than the cheap one he had. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1ju6eWpE1miBjoTdMS1ErpErA8EpxaEpFp94oTOjqLpcBEyEolY1X2Vh21GserClLSJeZe_2V0OeFrVp0dXSsINaSkQTLI_nCfFqR89cFG-hvp200BbKJCbnDwDvF7EL4j41qrcVW2A/s1600/phone+pics+035.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1ju6eWpE1miBjoTdMS1ErpErA8EpxaEpFp94oTOjqLpcBEyEolY1X2Vh21GserClLSJeZe_2V0OeFrVp0dXSsINaSkQTLI_nCfFqR89cFG-hvp200BbKJCbnDwDvF7EL4j41qrcVW2A/s200/phone+pics+035.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655716713988881106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNgBTi8ssBBDs4yGdZeo7LStpxFM-zrLuRHsBUCwH2AaUSYaAToDHW3ZOIdyzkVfIgze1eCN_YsTzlN6ma7gxDdxkciW8V2C2m6dOdQFWg3hYgHCcQmoJEjoJsw8OFtcy6Jeo44iYDh_4/s1600/phone+pics+036.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNgBTi8ssBBDs4yGdZeo7LStpxFM-zrLuRHsBUCwH2AaUSYaAToDHW3ZOIdyzkVfIgze1eCN_YsTzlN6ma7gxDdxkciW8V2C2m6dOdQFWg3hYgHCcQmoJEjoJsw8OFtcy6Jeo44iYDh_4/s200/phone+pics+036.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655716710130199618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhexq2BF2fcMgLtYaorMBn_DJC-Qp35bCqASPw3Ho55_buB3w2Or4rrdS57LrUKqTGc2ub10uNy1Y6BM3d53YD_BgLOKTGQceAA6Y8LhrMpRgZ1amxnvFNKissRCw-_fkqyTheXW1gQHc/s1600/phone+pics+052.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhexq2BF2fcMgLtYaorMBn_DJC-Qp35bCqASPw3Ho55_buB3w2Or4rrdS57LrUKqTGc2ub10uNy1Y6BM3d53YD_BgLOKTGQceAA6Y8LhrMpRgZ1amxnvFNKissRCw-_fkqyTheXW1gQHc/s200/phone+pics+052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655716716440851858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Qnrsfo_sYFPNpt0ATi2B7uKF4DaVRRqurp2NsxlwoMIR-QT2LkFMny10Y8ZNN3ttXbq5y8yG9QwmnjFKuh_chSbT6Fc-BeNr4bF9AN5eTA5FygL_22GjEmIKrSnD8XtZFbgioTWV7TQ/s1600/phone+pics+039.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Qnrsfo_sYFPNpt0ATi2B7uKF4DaVRRqurp2NsxlwoMIR-QT2LkFMny10Y8ZNN3ttXbq5y8yG9QwmnjFKuh_chSbT6Fc-BeNr4bF9AN5eTA5FygL_22GjEmIKrSnD8XtZFbgioTWV7TQ/s200/phone+pics+039.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655716715376276082" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwO13_QR9aXdMno5HjfcBOKu71_YeNUVSG1UJK22u4RxNoXEbegUNn9RwTg3y9wbjbF1_c1g47K_Ih9K9znX8ddMPVthlyJOdd8gU26A9yj_68cx9KH4fvkKYe_XRM5GscMs8nSrfNDLY/s1600/phone+pics+048.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwO13_QR9aXdMno5HjfcBOKu71_YeNUVSG1UJK22u4RxNoXEbegUNn9RwTg3y9wbjbF1_c1g47K_Ih9K9znX8ddMPVthlyJOdd8gU26A9yj_68cx9KH4fvkKYe_XRM5GscMs8nSrfNDLY/s200/phone+pics+048.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655718129157931666" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD43XpQAeOe_HHfdDMQuo78G6GGugd3y-2-gpVYx1UDldPDOPIESl2yFJ8uIJGgs5-tTA6v6aEKdxZK9VNDkEwKIXPQk-MM3t37HoFhu69iWDI3vjACrXwUqBjwE2pNPz6kytQ8-yLDDc/s1600/phone+pics+045.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD43XpQAeOe_HHfdDMQuo78G6GGugd3y-2-gpVYx1UDldPDOPIESl2yFJ8uIJGgs5-tTA6v6aEKdxZK9VNDkEwKIXPQk-MM3t37HoFhu69iWDI3vjACrXwUqBjwE2pNPz6kytQ8-yLDDc/s200/phone+pics+045.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655718125230286786" /></a><br /><br />We had our 1st Walker Family Reunion this year. I was talking with Larry's sister, Jean, about how it would be nice if She and her brothers could get together. Jean thought that was a great idea, so we made plans to hold a reunion the 1st weekend in August this year. We offered to have the reunion at the cabin. Larry's brother and sister had not yet been up to see the cabin. Jean lives just outside Sacramento in Elk Grove, CA and Steve lives in Roy, UT. Jean said she wanted to plan it as she loved to do that and wanted it to have a bit of a genealogy flair to it. She wanted to spend some time helping the nieces and nephews getting to know their great grandparents a little better. She really did a ton of work and had pictures for each grandchild and for her brothers. She also put together a 4 generation folder for each child so they could actually have the genealogy. I thought it was great, especially since some of the family are not active in the church. She also videoed the evening with her and Larry and Steve talking about their memories. She wanted to get the information written down, so she was going pull it from the tape. We had a lot of fun together also. They went down to the gun range several times, they went on a few 4 wheeler rides. Of course, we went looking for some Geo Caches. (That seems to be the only thing I had my camera out for.) I took Diana, Steve's wife, Jean on a little ride also. Jean was a bit nervous, because she had never driven the ATV and she did great. Each family took a breakfast and a dinner and we had some great meals. I hope they don't wait too long to do it again.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-79XBk2nw9-v4S7DWwZfOCKfdJmZozSQ1c9sywvO1PJvwgoanUnvGR9BIY_2cH-brSrHKtAVPb7a6_8BepjAUjc6ozBzvduZpfeHkd0r0FhhOceSa3c0UlJez4ZX12Mbbng287snaSek/s1600/2011-08-05_12-01-42_873.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-79XBk2nw9-v4S7DWwZfOCKfdJmZozSQ1c9sywvO1PJvwgoanUnvGR9BIY_2cH-brSrHKtAVPb7a6_8BepjAUjc6ozBzvduZpfeHkd0r0FhhOceSa3c0UlJez4ZX12Mbbng287snaSek/s200/2011-08-05_12-01-42_873.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655729161411860626" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSruFua9gSNP7C45KQWlAT3WY6a9FPyGZFhlIijU6idEgSk42P9FnKr9jkdIw7VqHstcAJAA1Ct3prz3Bvq4xuoljhPmEHzUiawJxAlWnjOQlC-XWsBYm-fldkfRX8ZjxvPFqNuz5250/s1600/2011-08-05_12-01-00_367.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSruFua9gSNP7C45KQWlAT3WY6a9FPyGZFhlIijU6idEgSk42P9FnKr9jkdIw7VqHstcAJAA1Ct3prz3Bvq4xuoljhPmEHzUiawJxAlWnjOQlC-XWsBYm-fldkfRX8ZjxvPFqNuz5250/s200/2011-08-05_12-01-00_367.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655729156418921218" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1zhIhEnS8EQIJuBuHcZ9fQXf1HdLOW2fxMUj5SqjwmOeJv_ZoNNhjOwWCEVkWLYFHWTmT7zB0vCAPwpWVFaprbCqzvm2axDflXjI4NnZfV8rJAfjn5Pg796UagB6ysn-ha4gR21YTXSM/s1600/DSCF5709.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1zhIhEnS8EQIJuBuHcZ9fQXf1HdLOW2fxMUj5SqjwmOeJv_ZoNNhjOwWCEVkWLYFHWTmT7zB0vCAPwpWVFaprbCqzvm2axDflXjI4NnZfV8rJAfjn5Pg796UagB6ysn-ha4gR21YTXSM/s200/DSCF5709.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655730398967223890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3wHMOpSmv6x1vOqYs11oz2OEzO50RbgXCpM_RZx888AJUE9fJnVD07N4js8AqYCobYUqZqY8qRCrtxj7k3D6gADIWl4CWuPaByYovDkqN8nxZObQyw-pM_e1qbm0lMpYn943xZ72_w4/s1600/DSCF5708.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3wHMOpSmv6x1vOqYs11oz2OEzO50RbgXCpM_RZx888AJUE9fJnVD07N4js8AqYCobYUqZqY8qRCrtxj7k3D6gADIWl4CWuPaByYovDkqN8nxZObQyw-pM_e1qbm0lMpYn943xZ72_w4/s200/DSCF5708.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655730400925170882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0wlisukeG8v6sLl9LGWe_XrBKn5xjYEVL6bvCIMphpq59jrVT3Pr4Z1hWvA39e8cky_gurZuAOhIepUSe0AWIdR5glIXq0UUiQOuyqYxdvDXgneXIhDNqpXTUUq96uipUhvUSIx3NfU/s1600/2011-08-05_12-03-43_960.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0wlisukeG8v6sLl9LGWe_XrBKn5xjYEVL6bvCIMphpq59jrVT3Pr4Z1hWvA39e8cky_gurZuAOhIepUSe0AWIdR5glIXq0UUiQOuyqYxdvDXgneXIhDNqpXTUUq96uipUhvUSIx3NfU/s200/2011-08-05_12-03-43_960.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655731832208938418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiaFLneFLKWlUcDgGb9iVym8JQ7WVKK83frjEnMoDsgQ5Dg1Dmw1V6b5wgd8hB7o_0Adtleo6ZAAgeQDuHWvrX575krV6KqEbkSvD0s4Ak9cHros4T4xRiz29xemqMciYe4jNDr9w-dk/s1600/2011-08-05_12-02-37_951.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiaFLneFLKWlUcDgGb9iVym8JQ7WVKK83frjEnMoDsgQ5Dg1Dmw1V6b5wgd8hB7o_0Adtleo6ZAAgeQDuHWvrX575krV6KqEbkSvD0s4Ak9cHros4T4xRiz29xemqMciYe4jNDr9w-dk/s200/2011-08-05_12-02-37_951.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655731821747144866" /></a><br /><br /><br />Larry went ahead and took Monday as a vacation day also. Jean was going to stay with us through the next week and wanted to go to a few of the gravesites where relatives were buried. So Monday we got up early and began our trek towards Ogden. We had already stopped Sunday evening on our way home in Coalville and Hoytsville to see who we could find in those areas. We went to West Weber and also Brigham City looking for ancestors of the Walker line. Jean had really done her homework and wanted pictures of certain gravestones. There really is something to be said of being where your ancestors actually walked and lived. A surprise for me is that I didn't know that Lorenzo Snow was buried in the Brigham City Cemetary. I thought that was cool and had to get a couple of pictures of that. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1J8L_5zHFdjFVgJDtMf5WdxJxnJ0B8AeTACoHf9QAOi9tbBwn2z049LkTxMXUV-OdZTnKO6E54G0MsAiDHCwABstczjvRi0k6rO3LxlhS3s9unTt7Y08f0TKCfh2ee7dihwtFKjA9LB8/s1600/2011-08-08_14-19-14_418.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1J8L_5zHFdjFVgJDtMf5WdxJxnJ0B8AeTACoHf9QAOi9tbBwn2z049LkTxMXUV-OdZTnKO6E54G0MsAiDHCwABstczjvRi0k6rO3LxlhS3s9unTt7Y08f0TKCfh2ee7dihwtFKjA9LB8/s200/2011-08-08_14-19-14_418.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655742031104080242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIuT6eG5HQt3O-NzaQNy89e1H5jb8o1OxAQY5SOZoeZ0QzZcgoLMFfk6XEFNbfxima6CdWGDTXONiUqMSSHHw2OERLokaal1NZdXIZnWgw08bypgmQnqCUncn2wp2LlixALChQNJXH3s/s1600/2011-08-08_14-21-00_266.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIuT6eG5HQt3O-NzaQNy89e1H5jb8o1OxAQY5SOZoeZ0QzZcgoLMFfk6XEFNbfxima6CdWGDTXONiUqMSSHHw2OERLokaal1NZdXIZnWgw08bypgmQnqCUncn2wp2LlixALChQNJXH3s/s200/2011-08-08_14-21-00_266.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655742029003543890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTcU_-VMjGjjTMd1Mdhqs2UE5oh_twIIBp81v0A52YJ64RGcdx1-WFVtaKqvLrJI0QlJY_gkPOq-d00hcx3OS6bolKhL6swibiG1vgdyK76nSUXZjExSyOXJP2iYhg7R3y5TSQ-VXdmg/s1600/2011-08-08_14-21-09_236.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTcU_-VMjGjjTMd1Mdhqs2UE5oh_twIIBp81v0A52YJ64RGcdx1-WFVtaKqvLrJI0QlJY_gkPOq-d00hcx3OS6bolKhL6swibiG1vgdyK76nSUXZjExSyOXJP2iYhg7R3y5TSQ-VXdmg/s200/2011-08-08_14-21-09_236.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655739985105222642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUDeOVUJI0AspYuHNb7xZ9M8O80rGxinBRMz3zxVctX5OkjgDQrHl1fXxMXpy0eaOvrdJw1ZPwhVg6FaQeJRDBv6LMRaQ-mJ3V-7iGquxR6urGsOfMuLFGm_XKC1D1CUGqDxMav_uKrI/s1600/2011-08-08_14-22-17_149.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUDeOVUJI0AspYuHNb7xZ9M8O80rGxinBRMz3zxVctX5OkjgDQrHl1fXxMXpy0eaOvrdJw1ZPwhVg6FaQeJRDBv6LMRaQ-mJ3V-7iGquxR6urGsOfMuLFGm_XKC1D1CUGqDxMav_uKrI/s200/2011-08-08_14-22-17_149.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655739983693452178" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We of course had to make a little pit stop at Smith and Edwards and do a little shopping. We got home about 5:00 and it was such an enjoyable day together. I love doing things like that.<br /><br />Some other things that have happend are a couple of the grandchildren have had birthdays. Kylee, Devin and Charity's girl, just had her special birthday when she turned 9 on the 9th of September. We went into be with her at Chuck E. Cheese. I've never been there before and now I know why? You can almost hold a conversation there. Kylee, I think, was excited that we had come and we enjoyed showing her our love by being there. She is growing up to be a beautiful young lady. The first thing she said when we got there was how she was going to be able to be in this tube and try to catch as many tickets as she could. She had a lot of fun and came up with about 300 points with her tickets. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TJ2zVSKUtc8f4sbZGW8WblvAAU4I71odqhWaumjtwOMHquY7KicXbIb7lkTzdE-VQ_b0dyAlCXv0GC7uLT8nzjWKYGzhAaNXOem4DN12kO1ta6EOY3kJNetjEhA1WVMr7_Z4154xMk0/s1600/phone+pics+104.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-TJ2zVSKUtc8f4sbZGW8WblvAAU4I71odqhWaumjtwOMHquY7KicXbIb7lkTzdE-VQ_b0dyAlCXv0GC7uLT8nzjWKYGzhAaNXOem4DN12kO1ta6EOY3kJNetjEhA1WVMr7_Z4154xMk0/s200/phone+pics+104.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655747099473099266" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm62ENNuoq4d5bhsbkcLi6G6COy3XyN4o_0w1fP4AqYr7HK95g7j-27bteRfjOJOp0g6YAVkGhSoFQqrmYvbfpU7wlAhu6e4SmYGeYDy42724PV0BGzJU_B_uJ0IhXB25CwVocCs6ecpc/s1600/phone+pics+108.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm62ENNuoq4d5bhsbkcLi6G6COy3XyN4o_0w1fP4AqYr7HK95g7j-27bteRfjOJOp0g6YAVkGhSoFQqrmYvbfpU7wlAhu6e4SmYGeYDy42724PV0BGzJU_B_uJ0IhXB25CwVocCs6ecpc/s200/phone+pics+108.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655747096284618114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjnHFgNcrz_B8MuSmp-t447Jdc3JmIsYtRwoBHCr5xbSkktGcKlQ4s9mFoXE3ITXw8ZTo5esMhCazEvNEHjv8NLBYGOj5Zcz0L1PjEHC2OT69UqqSgpOrya09ZiCVZ2apyoDQLau8dh0/s1600/phone+pics+109.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCjnHFgNcrz_B8MuSmp-t447Jdc3JmIsYtRwoBHCr5xbSkktGcKlQ4s9mFoXE3ITXw8ZTo5esMhCazEvNEHjv8NLBYGOj5Zcz0L1PjEHC2OT69UqqSgpOrya09ZiCVZ2apyoDQLau8dh0/s200/phone+pics+109.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655747092004949698" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then on Sept. 12th was Dallin's, Jamie and Bruce's youngest, 8th birthday. His birthday was on a Tuesday, so we actually celebrated the Saturday before. He wanted a camping birthday, so Jamie and Bruce had their 5th wheel up in a Old, little mining town just south of Tooele, called Ophir. There's still a small little town up there, although the mining is non existent. It's up a canyon once you turn on to the highway leading towards Lehi. We enjoyed some hamburgers and hotdogs (just what Dallin wanted.) and then we had cake and ice cream and a little tour of the town led by Bruce. It was an enjoyable evening. Dallin will be getting baptized on October 8th and is excited, but a little nervous about going under the water. We are proud of him.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZiVbFXVCLa3o2HYe-Bc8_Pd0zswbQPIkgP1UkDDBZOyZqDwf1ckJaogdOEhAAN0_HmZGFh2I92KWMcZdvK4VWqP6TPk9J6lVOvReoXaGAYv-MXVQT9avfkxaFbrkJOqNMKiWez84LXBE/s1600/phone+pics+113.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZiVbFXVCLa3o2HYe-Bc8_Pd0zswbQPIkgP1UkDDBZOyZqDwf1ckJaogdOEhAAN0_HmZGFh2I92KWMcZdvK4VWqP6TPk9J6lVOvReoXaGAYv-MXVQT9avfkxaFbrkJOqNMKiWez84LXBE/s200/phone+pics+113.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655750578134239714" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBNHVYk_b61FHcWH3a09xxfIG41sdancK0x4pHZkQFSgLwKzlIZwGdY7eKe6MPWpmRGsrf5GlsQjLjTiZQolfxWmu-4f3F4kqdlW433SiL9Zd2-5gm4yKsXDLMP8yKy_nX3A_-fHJ6DE/s1600/phone+pics+114.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBNHVYk_b61FHcWH3a09xxfIG41sdancK0x4pHZkQFSgLwKzlIZwGdY7eKe6MPWpmRGsrf5GlsQjLjTiZQolfxWmu-4f3F4kqdlW433SiL9Zd2-5gm4yKsXDLMP8yKy_nX3A_-fHJ6DE/s200/phone+pics+114.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655750574546826546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohdKFlT9C7P-9TLAnQZNzEqs6m3h-jYeuDdtXNfhi93RzRlECervfspgSIC32ebxmMU-vts-WZpKy0aH4olfWmX7oLqmQ1s8DFMOyN_lQGRWinxe6AC9UDzn4LyimroEkL-Mj0Psh2_A/s1600/phone+pics+115.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohdKFlT9C7P-9TLAnQZNzEqs6m3h-jYeuDdtXNfhi93RzRlECervfspgSIC32ebxmMU-vts-WZpKy0aH4olfWmX7oLqmQ1s8DFMOyN_lQGRWinxe6AC9UDzn4LyimroEkL-Mj0Psh2_A/s200/phone+pics+115.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655749035714335266" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHWDkpOFJzvjb4RNHYmFct6y4aNjtRPExApi-t2TQsYcP4ELDLn9s1FkLLdDf7pfAsJ0KS-K-jmd1LQJ7Vnr0iBeSFHAc-TiwCr3k7K2Doi6X3GCOxXhj3zwsm3pGZMNWxn-_ZX48iluk/s1600/phone+pics+116.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHWDkpOFJzvjb4RNHYmFct6y4aNjtRPExApi-t2TQsYcP4ELDLn9s1FkLLdDf7pfAsJ0KS-K-jmd1LQJ7Vnr0iBeSFHAc-TiwCr3k7K2Doi6X3GCOxXhj3zwsm3pGZMNWxn-_ZX48iluk/s200/phone+pics+116.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655749038019176882" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The only other thing we've been up to is working on the cabin and getting the deck and the side of the cabin that takes most of the beating from the snow and weather weatherproofed and ready for the winter. Seems as life is always moving at a very fast pace. I hope to stay a little more current as the months keep coming. I can't believe that it is almost October and next week I already have my first parent teacher conference.

Larry thought that before he washed them they would really enjoy some time out in the lake. They really do love the lake and we don't give them enough time to just go out and play. It is a lot of work, because then they are wet etc...etc...etc... <br />Anyway, I went out to get a few shots with my phone. I just love watching them enjoy the lake, they <strong>ARE</strong> labs. However, they both have a few quirks that I just have to laugh about. Sadie, the chocolate lab, just loves to swim, however she doesn't really know how to swim. You would think a lab would just come knowing how to do this.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6S0f8B_nCjaqyKrPzUdK7xCZSuyYYkSyY1_7yd2tsxBa8g8fbGreP74A_MI54sHC1fDyDqVtt-hHcPt2FyLI-aPZaAxeFa4TxRcxyfP7gLM5MGRfaFAkdXL9vHH9pbq3MxEu0uvuyn0/s1600/033.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6S0f8B_nCjaqyKrPzUdK7xCZSuyYYkSyY1_7yd2tsxBa8g8fbGreP74A_MI54sHC1fDyDqVtt-hHcPt2FyLI-aPZaAxeFa4TxRcxyfP7gLM5MGRfaFAkdXL9vHH9pbq3MxEu0uvuyn0/s200/033.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633418731992307298" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiia_abovXp_nw2r7YMXmqz77rRDlBI-_uO-urVN4Jn_Yn37k6mr_yoQOc3oRedXH-MC_QLosrm_FbgZNGrCzkjDtYyzYmLJW71MfOdZQNhqOTDm7oh-2WLgb-eUkz1QNZ5NGwL2Xrz3ws/s1600/037.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiia_abovXp_nw2r7YMXmqz77rRDlBI-_uO-urVN4Jn_Yn37k6mr_yoQOc3oRedXH-MC_QLosrm_FbgZNGrCzkjDtYyzYmLJW71MfOdZQNhqOTDm7oh-2WLgb-eUkz1QNZ5NGwL2Xrz3ws/s200/037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633418727489157330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkrgE5n8mhDHONaw5hIKBkIvAhzo_UbMAPSqYUsbCP8tZFdv_t7NbMWLX_UJutD0G8C9EPG5vnt8UGXpYt4n-U2uWUqkUAG7fg_Jv0ST6KIt-slMdyS4Vq0lpTTFTM0wzIwmeKRKOKUo/s1600/034.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkrgE5n8mhDHONaw5hIKBkIvAhzo_UbMAPSqYUsbCP8tZFdv_t7NbMWLX_UJutD0G8C9EPG5vnt8UGXpYt4n-U2uWUqkUAG7fg_Jv0ST6KIt-slMdyS4Vq0lpTTFTM0wzIwmeKRKOKUo/s200/034.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633418727691569986" /></a><br />It's not as if their mother could give them swimming lessons. When you watch most dogs swim their legs stay under the water with their head above the water. Not Sadie, she swims with her front feet coming out of the water, which makes her back end sink in the water, which I know that makes it harder. But, she is such a trooper and will do it over and over again. Brandie,the black lab, on the other hand is a good swimmer, but a little lazy. She is a bit bigger and a little over weight, which I'm sure makes it a little harder, but she likes to have Sadie go out to get the orange bird and then try to take over as Sadie reaches closer to shore. Sometimes I think she is going to drown Sadie.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJweBQO8Re9Hw7ZvtNWLP6dsc2IyRzMQpM8YvLF9xgB1Njou87CJbHS3r42v5jS-LJ9KM55iyw8KV-Lfc3_myRhOHtnCWkauTor0XKZ_DJ79l_HN_LeW7JY8zMWAo2c6FkB64Iv1srcd0/s1600/039.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJweBQO8Re9Hw7ZvtNWLP6dsc2IyRzMQpM8YvLF9xgB1Njou87CJbHS3r42v5jS-LJ9KM55iyw8KV-Lfc3_myRhOHtnCWkauTor0XKZ_DJ79l_HN_LeW7JY8zMWAo2c6FkB64Iv1srcd0/s200/039.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633420351755730930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOddRqVuHY65RhAq_ceuRRThhgpjAlqKZ4Ml_rX76NB0uZDmeSO4QuGWWybODBIM_y035DNXc-t37KQbjC3IcxLYVZKMrUMWKFgKNdbxwmo0S76AatFcqBkhdxHYfONBkJ5OqI0lbd2E/s1600/041.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOddRqVuHY65RhAq_ceuRRThhgpjAlqKZ4Ml_rX76NB0uZDmeSO4QuGWWybODBIM_y035DNXc-t37KQbjC3IcxLYVZKMrUMWKFgKNdbxwmo0S76AatFcqBkhdxHYfONBkJ5OqI0lbd2E/s200/041.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633420350070479842" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXQ-Aun-wSufmk2ch-5N3Wdh5Kt9Bv1Y6JSk4dAAhz1-zHR67O0soA1-1YrGV-YL98ch8_9Gbv0zxfBqo-Kdn808dgOHTUKkirpEmfhTNbMheP9HSkU6AnjyUzgUT4_ZISPSwKyHp8h0/s1600/031.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXQ-Aun-wSufmk2ch-5N3Wdh5Kt9Bv1Y6JSk4dAAhz1-zHR67O0soA1-1YrGV-YL98ch8_9Gbv0zxfBqo-Kdn808dgOHTUKkirpEmfhTNbMheP9HSkU6AnjyUzgUT4_ZISPSwKyHp8h0/s200/031.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633420347554357794" /></a><br />Brandie does go and get the bird, but when she gets tired she lets Sadie do the main work. Also because Sadie is a little sleeker she is a little faster and often will beat Brandie to the bird. We have two, but they tend to go after the same one. They just made my day and I got some good laughs watching them and seeing their excitement in playing out in the lake. Anyway, they both had a great time, and got a bath to boot, now I can let them back into the house. :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-50989782141356885462011-07-25T14:59:00.005-06:002011-07-25T15:49:36.466-06:00Snow On Top<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5fD0-RMhyphenhyphenLfKMpouEXWV9OnLxGAQvKe4bCyE9gYstUVq4b6YAO2rAzdC_x4GPcMSmAXEmwTbU6cGYKo5rx0RFbYpGU_eN-QFpkFhLO3B_F4o2DPCN1cZHko0cdmpR5RrXkvaUbPs_B8/s1600/023.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5fD0-RMhyphenhyphenLfKMpouEXWV9OnLxGAQvKe4bCyE9gYstUVq4b6YAO2rAzdC_x4GPcMSmAXEmwTbU6cGYKo5rx0RFbYpGU_eN-QFpkFhLO3B_F4o2DPCN1cZHko0cdmpR5RrXkvaUbPs_B8/s200/023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633406904042508530" /></a><br />This year for the 4th of July Larry and I made our way up to the Cabin in the Uinta's. We had a good weekend even though we spent a lot of time doing some work. We cut down a few trees that needed to be cut down, brought the snowmobile trailer from the parking lot back up to the property. We also worked on the basement doing a bit more with the drywall. All this takes a lot more time when it is just Larry and me doing the work. We're not getting younger and I for sure do not have a lot of strength, so it takes a little more time to accomplish the tasks. We were also able to get a few heating vents put into the basement, so this winter it won't be quite as cold down there in the basement. Sunday we went to church and after took a little ride over to the other cabin where Devin and Charity were staying. We had hoped to find them there and maybe plan a little ride for sometime maybe Monday morning. However, they were not there so we never made a connection with them which I thought was too bad. We did take a little ride on Monday and did a bit more work, so it was kind of a working weekend. Finally, we decided to head home even though we still hadn't finished all that needed to be done. <br />Since Hwy. 150 or Mirror Lake Hwy. had been closed because of snow late into June, we thought it would be fun to go home over the top over Bald Mountain Pass. (about 10,000 feet) We had no snow at the cabin, but the days were very pleasant, never getting over about 80 degrees. As we made our way up the highway, at first everything seemed very green and beautiful. Several little waterfalls were cascading down the hill sides from the higher level snow pack melting. When we got to about 9,000 feet all that began to change. The snow all of the sudden took us back to winter. If you didn't know better you would have never thought it was the first of July. As we reached the road to take you down to Mirror Lake there was a big pile of snow in front of it and there was still ice floating on top of the lake.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1BHfnmvF4AJcZPBhMFErNTOofe3Zt-JcGpbXAW8SmyMLoGSPQLzdWKIP5LHx8kXoompt-vPFB5kv4JMGZvWmuYZ9CUgNlbKUiwGM9cmtFng5FqAZVKndWHwwJ_rLA6bs8RqWfCRMhXk/s1600/026.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1BHfnmvF4AJcZPBhMFErNTOofe3Zt-JcGpbXAW8SmyMLoGSPQLzdWKIP5LHx8kXoompt-vPFB5kv4JMGZvWmuYZ9CUgNlbKUiwGM9cmtFng5FqAZVKndWHwwJ_rLA6bs8RqWfCRMhXk/s200/026.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633408852403920914" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9QLmTqo1wPkk24q9zkcQGu1NLAHveV-NHrPgW8sDdF9wig-Vo4NDuQiolxUdXFqCn-ZxKoiCBcmJ57FhjsQkU-8KwWI7T66Y_Sf1EGR8FHykrz7e3UdTix9pNeG5teZ969EeLRVAtG10/s1600/022.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9QLmTqo1wPkk24q9zkcQGu1NLAHveV-NHrPgW8sDdF9wig-Vo4NDuQiolxUdXFqCn-ZxKoiCBcmJ57FhjsQkU-8KwWI7T66Y_Sf1EGR8FHykrz7e3UdTix9pNeG5teZ969EeLRVAtG10/s200/022.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633408850038469410" /></a><br /> <br />I had to get out and take some pictures when we neared the top as well as take a few more driving along in the car.

I'm sure by now since it is the end of July a lot of that has now melted, but we were just up there a week ago again, but we didn't come back home that way, however there is still quite a bit of snow in they higher elevations still.<br />I'm betting that the snow up there will not entirely melt before the snow begins to fly again.<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-33121181828348921472011-06-30T10:16:00.013-06:002011-06-30T11:35:09.218-06:00Girlfriends!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1COxvgJWuwTguLxT2EixNK7KuuKa3F_POEXrcF5zcN6aalkJkCJg27vsJODXCLLHdHSYtKNLfNyrdJ-FrouBjbc2Rx9Jq_2huOAUwU8njx6qFCxHTP_8lqomaj4tNrXCt7XOnK0K5y8/s1600/DSCF5706.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1COxvgJWuwTguLxT2EixNK7KuuKa3F_POEXrcF5zcN6aalkJkCJg27vsJODXCLLHdHSYtKNLfNyrdJ-FrouBjbc2Rx9Jq_2huOAUwU8njx6qFCxHTP_8lqomaj4tNrXCt7XOnK0K5y8/s320/DSCF5706.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624053194050892898" /></a><br />Tuesday of this week I had a great day. My closest friend from High School, Ellen Lee Anderson, was coming up to spend time taking care of her youngest grand daughter, while her son and daughter in law got their schedule put together as they adjust to both going back to work. I knew that she was coming up for a few months now. We keep in pretty good contact with each other and have seen each other quite a bit since high school, she was even able to make it to my wedding. I also have another great friend from high school, Shelley Decker Griffiths, that lives right up here in Centerville. She's been her since I got married 8 years ago. We've not been good at seeing each other, only a couple of times, although we have called and sent texts to each other. Anyway, since I knew that Ellen was coming up, I contacted Shelley and said that Ellen was coming and wouldn't it be great if we all got together for lunch. Just a side note, even though I've seen both of these wonderful ladies, Shelley and Ellen had not seen each other since high school. Dare I say that is 32 years. So this is the first time all 3 of us have been together in that length of time.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW0gddGMDENEl0cza86qRCzcgwq2V6637MCnhiJ2OOUMlW4rDB_R5eJOKmqaNaeZqC-dMyBANt8HBR6tYh9CDhUuxTWeMmhDLIsHtpkQ5fJEtVZJfXIcWTwW63SsZuegC6hm5zEuxIq9k/s1600/2011-06-28_14-35-02_606.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW0gddGMDENEl0cza86qRCzcgwq2V6637MCnhiJ2OOUMlW4rDB_R5eJOKmqaNaeZqC-dMyBANt8HBR6tYh9CDhUuxTWeMmhDLIsHtpkQ5fJEtVZJfXIcWTwW63SsZuegC6hm5zEuxIq9k/s200/2011-06-28_14-35-02_606.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624064439070576690" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjollNvLHkp-oge54914cAaE0e4idxz-dw7tOahVh3RlMn-KXfX9ijfc7HyUx3A2vPX_jdxbBZC_xR8bxHV0i2Xp3ibpUVtnYlQg2rVxvttyp2p1PWRIuAguDrCgty7ap6aglwWgbmYJWI/s1600/2011-06-28_14-34-54_858.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjollNvLHkp-oge54914cAaE0e4idxz-dw7tOahVh3RlMn-KXfX9ijfc7HyUx3A2vPX_jdxbBZC_xR8bxHV0i2Xp3ibpUVtnYlQg2rVxvttyp2p1PWRIuAguDrCgty7ap6aglwWgbmYJWI/s200/2011-06-28_14-34-54_858.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624066806456507810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmhl1ckD-WoO0KkvSZELJWQaOhWYXPqNeOTh60tN9bN2WTfimasWLL8wdkKS4G09zOVosQANZUfccQh4FMwExqBSYBMEafmLd8rSFuoc1WEqdVAAKZg1vn-TINvTiQqbEH4rXy8eHUF4/s1600/2011-06-28_15-36-51_549.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpmhl1ckD-WoO0KkvSZELJWQaOhWYXPqNeOTh60tN9bN2WTfimasWLL8wdkKS4G09zOVosQANZUfccQh4FMwExqBSYBMEafmLd8rSFuoc1WEqdVAAKZg1vn-TINvTiQqbEH4rXy8eHUF4/s200/2011-06-28_15-36-51_549.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624064436196860898" /></a><br />So...I thought it would be fun to go up to a little fun diner called "Ruth's Diner" (they have the best chocolate malt pudding) up above Hogle Zoo in Emigration Canyon in Salt Lake City. Larry took me there once and I thought it would be a fun little place to go and up the canyon it feels like you're out of the city. Ellen was of course, babysitting and had her very cute grand daughter with her.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKMUKz-KDRJVlZDpL5x958XNpHsXBX_4z4Tzz8RRBDw6QaRfBr0GCb49jE7mLkKB1L4kTSijNAOc0J0okhcAuAvLgUpA3brr31XIbUyJjddQpT_XpY6afPFIgiNbLdRcsC_J7JbdlVkA/s1600/2011-06-28_15-47-43_99.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKMUKz-KDRJVlZDpL5x958XNpHsXBX_4z4Tzz8RRBDw6QaRfBr0GCb49jE7mLkKB1L4kTSijNAOc0J0okhcAuAvLgUpA3brr31XIbUyJjddQpT_XpY6afPFIgiNbLdRcsC_J7JbdlVkA/s200/2011-06-28_15-47-43_99.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624063349565820658" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKFlHtNxvseKgF6GC9jSiuzF4jSEYn5lWZ2FMDQ0DaGoGbG5oqr4ZOMuRXDkBg7rfI9xl5LpY6xKB1fbAf1FyXNmCHQ39k2yw_80tkKULY3DW-aaNz0Ks32oAYZODW89Wyn3HHxWswtw/s1600/2011-06-28_15-50-31_233.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKFlHtNxvseKgF6GC9jSiuzF4jSEYn5lWZ2FMDQ0DaGoGbG5oqr4ZOMuRXDkBg7rfI9xl5LpY6xKB1fbAf1FyXNmCHQ39k2yw_80tkKULY3DW-aaNz0Ks32oAYZODW89Wyn3HHxWswtw/s200/2011-06-28_15-50-31_233.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624062453774663298" /></a><br />She met us there and I met Shelley and then had her hitch a ride with me for the rest of the trip there. Ellen was there waiting for us. We got there at 1:00 and then spent until 4:00, laughing, reminiscing, and creating new memories together. The 3 of us really did use to spend a lot of time together. The 32 years really did seem to fade and we were just enjoying each other just like we always had!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcID8u5OBSaQKjtAU9_8-feFJUle8Ry4MTdKbebapmNkUngKeIWcHCmV67MeaZ_FA3mhK4F_1hOHS_xwNC810OTCxQY8l5Kc4ih23NdNPCSmzvRqbjzZfD5Fd2CzjwNugC7xIIQ2IsG0/s1600/2011-06-28_15-50-46_85.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcID8u5OBSaQKjtAU9_8-feFJUle8Ry4MTdKbebapmNkUngKeIWcHCmV67MeaZ_FA3mhK4F_1hOHS_xwNC810OTCxQY8l5Kc4ih23NdNPCSmzvRqbjzZfD5Fd2CzjwNugC7xIIQ2IsG0/s200/2011-06-28_15-50-46_85.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624055960925133602" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqgUVESfgkSgT0zmETR9eziWYxMLDZlmoSQg7WM2YzaBKOT8ftOv5nGCtxUAD9btXmKjqvAGYDNZ1NRHRTn3tC9_j0NcvzYQTi1vcLwYPyx0iLID8-7LlEB9Hv3k1Arq7WRqANtENudao/s1600/DSCF5705.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqgUVESfgkSgT0zmETR9eziWYxMLDZlmoSQg7WM2YzaBKOT8ftOv5nGCtxUAD9btXmKjqvAGYDNZ1NRHRTn3tC9_j0NcvzYQTi1vcLwYPyx0iLID8-7LlEB9Hv3k1Arq7WRqANtENudao/s200/DSCF5705.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624055958229932258" /></a><br /> I know that Ellen will be up from time to time, with 2 sons living up here along with her husband, Steve's, mother.

My sister, Bonnie, and her family were in charge this year. Since it was such an interesting year with the snow pack still being up in the mountains, their original plan of going up to Deer Haven up the canyon at Cedar City, UT had to be changed. So we went a little closer to them in Leeds, Utah. Kraig, my nephew, has an old track coach, Mr. Lott, from High School that he has stayed in touch with that has some land by his home that he rents out to Father and Sons and other activities for pretty cheap. So the morning of the 23rd, Larry and I put our two babies into the spa here in Stansbury Park (the new kennel here in our area). I know they'd rather be going but they do well there and they have an exercise area where they can get out and run around, so that is nice. Anyway....back to the story.....so we headed down south. We had a nice drive and went the back way to skip all the construction that is on the Wasatch Front now days. We had a little lunch in Cedar City around 1:30 or 2:00. When we arrived in Leeds we were the first except the Stowes to arrive. It was fairly warm at 101 degrees, I was glad that, that day was suppose to be the warmest of the days that we would be camping there. We found a place close to one of the trees that would provide us some shade at some point during the day, but it didn't really matter as we spent very little time at our tent anyway. I had bought a new air mattress that was one of those ones that are a little higher off the ground. It made camping even better, cause it was a nice soft place to sleep instead of the hard ground. I really don't mind camping at all except if I have to sleep on the hard ground, so it was great.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-F8-jrXoZq8QQe0zBuEjgt66JebETfk8i8BIv1YKHi6iHYB8bW8WMOJ78p90YQhF0AULbNHRH2GLWHMnKS-IGWdvwhY9InTpo3prCGX4t4UBNj8GU7AMRjoJWHr3epH-b_zHj-RV_3k/s1600/IMGP0346.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-F8-jrXoZq8QQe0zBuEjgt66JebETfk8i8BIv1YKHi6iHYB8bW8WMOJ78p90YQhF0AULbNHRH2GLWHMnKS-IGWdvwhY9InTpo3prCGX4t4UBNj8GU7AMRjoJWHr3epH-b_zHj-RV_3k/s200/IMGP0346.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623026906895240930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKc3RaJ7J11MHHjeMQjMVppgIwX2MJTxhusAcjQt5cBhyphenhyphenLvrwiX8CPTCVdW3_qz0uTMGypEVitQ0dQKUMD9SI-SPXHvEo-jFw9lkYLOMicrScRHmvTicoCSlWk_zvodm3bP3KnedMUNA/s1600/IMGP0335.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKc3RaJ7J11MHHjeMQjMVppgIwX2MJTxhusAcjQt5cBhyphenhyphenLvrwiX8CPTCVdW3_qz0uTMGypEVitQ0dQKUMD9SI-SPXHvEo-jFw9lkYLOMicrScRHmvTicoCSlWk_zvodm3bP3KnedMUNA/s200/IMGP0335.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623047375068837778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-qespQwDQZSreu-3lpWoCJ2Hl-mIq6KbA5RYe7aT1GKyEpE20hdiMZIFW_P51eVnZlQe-vzc8Mle83tqOKoeY5VQGDNlCEaTGqAn2W4fggCB9iBSrKQAYG3cqJdXS2e8WKJoDgP_o1g/s1600/IMGP0334.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-qespQwDQZSreu-3lpWoCJ2Hl-mIq6KbA5RYe7aT1GKyEpE20hdiMZIFW_P51eVnZlQe-vzc8Mle83tqOKoeY5VQGDNlCEaTGqAn2W4fggCB9iBSrKQAYG3cqJdXS2e8WKJoDgP_o1g/s200/IMGP0334.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623026900995209090" /></a><br />The Stowes had already set up some tables and chairs in a spot that would remain shady most all of the day which worked very well. Soon after we arrived, our daughter and her husband, Shan and Chris, arrived with their trailer and moved in close to where we were set up.<br />It wasn't long after that that the rest of the crew came on in and by night fall we were all there. The Milletts, Hegerhorsts, Kopps, Tenneys had finally arrived and we began to get ready for dinner. We had great hamburgers and hot dogs for our first night. We had a lot of fresh fruit at about every meal so that made it great. When it so hot the fruit just makes it so refreshing! Randy and Bonnie had gotten some cherries for fairly cheap and I had my fair share of them at about every meal.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDAn_7-iFpksALKgW8NwLVlG8dfge7Sx-Yo_A6Rd30e-gZFe0GevEkwlULEsxDIRLGOGkJYB9891pCM78jyjtSFi4_qh8BDJOWbMQtT1AmycJ_BI72xtPKaqGQYpHhK8Fn73lx6FblZ8/s1600/IMGP0340.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDAn_7-iFpksALKgW8NwLVlG8dfge7Sx-Yo_A6Rd30e-gZFe0GevEkwlULEsxDIRLGOGkJYB9891pCM78jyjtSFi4_qh8BDJOWbMQtT1AmycJ_BI72xtPKaqGQYpHhK8Fn73lx6FblZ8/s200/IMGP0340.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623029709978986594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhRENANDsnhwSUhVhUC3zrukdTqbXm28tCpvT4khACuNOH393cKMeecoUkIrnj1vLRYqtpSx3WJyzkmkzmmDnT-9-6VQKdgS0kRZ1ov4S8Q9C3yZBmDZoDs89pNgTsi8w7CYzrBOnsB0/s1600/IMGP0336.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhRENANDsnhwSUhVhUC3zrukdTqbXm28tCpvT4khACuNOH393cKMeecoUkIrnj1vLRYqtpSx3WJyzkmkzmmDnT-9-6VQKdgS0kRZ1ov4S8Q9C3yZBmDZoDs89pNgTsi8w7CYzrBOnsB0/s200/IMGP0336.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623029701496961202" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YL9K8ZzAILjDktKDnKYda1HAd8_X-HakIByQhYn092m1BcTAKhcM0O-GXQrzQyD5fdddytmrmKmxG_bgomeweGFxR_K4uDgu5ZIVykJ-Rwc2F59S4MwuIgkp0S9GkTBKbCtzcevp15w/s1600/IMGP0338.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YL9K8ZzAILjDktKDnKYda1HAd8_X-HakIByQhYn092m1BcTAKhcM0O-GXQrzQyD5fdddytmrmKmxG_bgomeweGFxR_K4uDgu5ZIVykJ-Rwc2F59S4MwuIgkp0S9GkTBKbCtzcevp15w/s200/IMGP0338.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623049115817364386" /></a><br />We played a few games on Thursday night and one of my favorites, even if I had hard time coming up with some for myself, was "Two truths and a Lie". It is amazing how much you think you know about your relatives and yet you don't. Especially when you tweak the truth just enough to make it a lie. It makes things a little more confusing. Mostly it was great fun talking and enjoying each other. Katie and Margie also kept asking everyone survey questions which brought up some interesting conversations. Soon throughout the weekend we all soon asking our "survey questions." <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQm6v_AbDdAmNRxDWq829dzYf9ElbJ-BGRyjf-FZ0J5atjP_vYM0s_uKKckGhsXq4IuSvWhe9gusg00uYnAcVUTZjWlgSDtgFnmqZOBqeVvbOsds30pjHs3prMVQNReOnAmMCp6VJLR8/s1600/IMGP0343.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQm6v_AbDdAmNRxDWq829dzYf9ElbJ-BGRyjf-FZ0J5atjP_vYM0s_uKKckGhsXq4IuSvWhe9gusg00uYnAcVUTZjWlgSDtgFnmqZOBqeVvbOsds30pjHs3prMVQNReOnAmMCp6VJLR8/s200/IMGP0343.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623035289128445250" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1MuL19jiTN89YSqinaiRKnogcLrGzN1qWihEfuQ6a0Knk1TJYRPAeogHTuQWT1wf90ZUyxi3FsIYK96uOzkjGf-POOjD2h3w_4y08t8ZywyWYqnO8-9SYT9r0fyZK0dBPaqdq6zMHijg/s1600/IMGP0341.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1MuL19jiTN89YSqinaiRKnogcLrGzN1qWihEfuQ6a0Knk1TJYRPAeogHTuQWT1wf90ZUyxi3FsIYK96uOzkjGf-POOjD2h3w_4y08t8ZywyWYqnO8-9SYT9r0fyZK0dBPaqdq6zMHijg/s200/IMGP0341.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623035277771548386" /></a><br />Friday morning we got up and had breakfast about 8:30. We had good ole' pancakes and sausage, which of course was yummy. We then planned a little hike that we hoped to get off on a little earlier than we did, because of the heat, but it was all good. We drove a little ways down the road to a State Park called "Red Cliffs" (I believe) This hike has a few pools of water as you hike.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSl0w6eRKVMDHL4pLXIO78yv-adKbIBM4RiIp2eZYct3GVlETO-Zom6IqukV6nMVd5MZq_HK_ZhfSmMzC7pLFnLbRb6xsQuB90ebhWdQ8DT-GENA3zhdDNkKk0xpf73jf3qDaSKKLYY1o/s1600/IMGP0361.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSl0w6eRKVMDHL4pLXIO78yv-adKbIBM4RiIp2eZYct3GVlETO-Zom6IqukV6nMVd5MZq_HK_ZhfSmMzC7pLFnLbRb6xsQuB90ebhWdQ8DT-GENA3zhdDNkKk0xpf73jf3qDaSKKLYY1o/s200/IMGP0361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623036073949401746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFnpFQVqPdMxySqxL9hW8T93viE1xsCmEj65ZEXwGfDkDR26rLT-ziHpINljevnukjSQREPWSVjkVcH0df9sqU9iLCZQ7mTTHd2K2F1dwmCA_dn4OIuDVkOpOh9PQmjfsPWnZHUJboxw/s1600/IMGP0359.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFnpFQVqPdMxySqxL9hW8T93viE1xsCmEj65ZEXwGfDkDR26rLT-ziHpINljevnukjSQREPWSVjkVcH0df9sqU9iLCZQ7mTTHd2K2F1dwmCA_dn4OIuDVkOpOh9PQmjfsPWnZHUJboxw/s200/IMGP0359.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623036068173271986" /></a><br />We stopped at the first pools which had an area that was fairly deep. Deep enough that you could jump from about 15-20 feet and not get hurt. The kids loved playing in this area and some even got brave enough to jump in from a shorter distance to the adults. Most were not too good at swimming yet. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRcPzVVNhjkFVmOSPhhfElHKwgD_hIMaBJYexfrpDRzSGCISlDiqkishZjNbhas0H1_g_CRcvQV8lvI2GIV6Ev46hZdOpIUPwmqQcgOe-3k3x1hhIZidqeVrIW6W3oaRZ9WpTVeS_yyog/s1600/IMGP0362.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRcPzVVNhjkFVmOSPhhfElHKwgD_hIMaBJYexfrpDRzSGCISlDiqkishZjNbhas0H1_g_CRcvQV8lvI2GIV6Ev46hZdOpIUPwmqQcgOe-3k3x1hhIZidqeVrIW6W3oaRZ9WpTVeS_yyog/s200/IMGP0362.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623036810596903954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwWkgXAUgJZTnYlwCc9FguEI3kw_G0BO6FWiaPj-e-GMHGxH4ty87DliOxfRyXhm7AckjtjTA7ianPIBoDQJ_gm_7Qxq-Krs3yzxrDtRd69DIRb9Kqkwt_MWFUof7cKf_A1gW_RW4i1s/s1600/IMGP0357.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBwWkgXAUgJZTnYlwCc9FguEI3kw_G0BO6FWiaPj-e-GMHGxH4ty87DliOxfRyXhm7AckjtjTA7ianPIBoDQJ_gm_7Qxq-Krs3yzxrDtRd69DIRb9Kqkwt_MWFUof7cKf_A1gW_RW4i1s/s200/IMGP0357.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623036805123303314" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2LC0Hp8JtrM3-hfDJQyh_evOf4Jp5UMkiF-E5cjaRhxZjY_o6FMMRGBmsCkwmd4HtkS8QLBA5Pgn_G58UCFFJ2yv1yaBrgaD4k11Hagohhz4dlxw1SEwIYNku33OaoUpmpztYx56mAY/s1600/IMGP0352.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2LC0Hp8JtrM3-hfDJQyh_evOf4Jp5UMkiF-E5cjaRhxZjY_o6FMMRGBmsCkwmd4HtkS8QLBA5Pgn_G58UCFFJ2yv1yaBrgaD4k11Hagohhz4dlxw1SEwIYNku33OaoUpmpztYx56mAY/s200/IMGP0352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623036797291838802" /></a><br />Chris was the brave one of the group that went to the top to jump in, in our family. We then decided to go up just a bit further to the next pool. It was a beautiful canyon and it felt a little cooler up there too. Other than a few mishaps on the slipper sandstone rocks, the hike wasn't too bad since we all took it slow and we had our stops along the way. Of course the water made it a bit cooler too. It was hot, though, by the time we returned to the cars about noon. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsUHC0cOnKusR1nvXiiEhs_f3jwkbIV28QZ8rmr5ExDaN1-lAcP1Qs-yfBiSgrAGBYH7l6hCewYVBe8OwypRTpeQHPu4n519mahFn1mO9Qvps4KBlvzkC1vC1lktHFca2GTrbFBSiS0o/s1600/IMGP0365.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWsUHC0cOnKusR1nvXiiEhs_f3jwkbIV28QZ8rmr5ExDaN1-lAcP1Qs-yfBiSgrAGBYH7l6hCewYVBe8OwypRTpeQHPu4n519mahFn1mO9Qvps4KBlvzkC1vC1lktHFca2GTrbFBSiS0o/s200/IMGP0365.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623040146662737634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26PAi8P0lcZQGJQrIzTAOyIFb98l1r3T99QpOOWjHEKKj32UJUABWC2mJTx9m8tVWnGJbkdKeZ-LNaL8LVm3ne3c8rqqG1FsoYcC5O-2SB31KNAsKXlnFGZPU0GD5CUHTOW-kvF3EeTE/s1600/IMGP0363.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26PAi8P0lcZQGJQrIzTAOyIFb98l1r3T99QpOOWjHEKKj32UJUABWC2mJTx9m8tVWnGJbkdKeZ-LNaL8LVm3ne3c8rqqG1FsoYcC5O-2SB31KNAsKXlnFGZPU0GD5CUHTOW-kvF3EeTE/s200/IMGP0363.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623040136242582034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTadVpkYB9c_AHAlw6D0prZEyF1iTSSey1NeTeRq8cOrI8rg03uSSiWKdGnmAAH-AlNHocCH0JWQsJ2oRbsSVgSJMUrXPVH1VDP95RZvZ2aP3hQLFAJf1WX8GMV4w-fScONWD3pzFEbUg/s1600/IMGP0353.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTadVpkYB9c_AHAlw6D0prZEyF1iTSSey1NeTeRq8cOrI8rg03uSSiWKdGnmAAH-AlNHocCH0JWQsJ2oRbsSVgSJMUrXPVH1VDP95RZvZ2aP3hQLFAJf1WX8GMV4w-fScONWD3pzFEbUg/s200/IMGP0353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623040133538712802" /></a><br />We made our way back to camp for lunch and had some sandwiches. After lunch, I think the heat had taken a bit out of some us and so we chose to take a short nap before getting back up and playing some card or board games or putting together puzzles. The wind blowing was a little hard to keep all the cards and puzzle pieces on the table, but we were thankful to the breeze to keep it feeling a little cooler. After passing our time in the afternoon playing games, we had a great dinner of BBQ chicken and dutch oven potatoes. Of course all of us had brought some sort of treats so there were way too many treats to get myself into trouble with.:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKgPvgzBPA_Htfr0EbA_Ad-tyAxMEMX0Rb_0sjr4rA2MPCT9a6d1CmrZAH4eYoiAot6BRdSMn4eDepAipbxtjHEF4a2FX3oW-44v1BG7iEO3LxA563Q731No46A0tK-EnuoZ-Jvt1IrI/s1600/IMGP0371.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKgPvgzBPA_Htfr0EbA_Ad-tyAxMEMX0Rb_0sjr4rA2MPCT9a6d1CmrZAH4eYoiAot6BRdSMn4eDepAipbxtjHEF4a2FX3oW-44v1BG7iEO3LxA563Q731No46A0tK-EnuoZ-Jvt1IrI/s200/IMGP0371.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623057473500776450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPu-8yJYW1cpQ9RP7kaDEpoWGSoeE_plYO_UG34mmLOBFp15xTDs8QGohz4KOG0Mxu3MsJukbspgxzS8c_xDyv1eGANoPtxDtoMa9SNnULCynSr_ZByY9et21d9xsAH5Ob7s7SpctHRyQ/s1600/IMGP0344.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPu-8yJYW1cpQ9RP7kaDEpoWGSoeE_plYO_UG34mmLOBFp15xTDs8QGohz4KOG0Mxu3MsJukbspgxzS8c_xDyv1eGANoPtxDtoMa9SNnULCynSr_ZByY9et21d9xsAH5Ob7s7SpctHRyQ/s200/IMGP0344.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623057461667324722" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_1ZUsiHy9JznQfVOA1lKCS2UuyQNuEihKaA0DKee1-KLjcNC23c0PvHJHWZuoAR6qBJk3IytnPbxbrLe8w9xbZE_awsbmgRsWOAaHQm34qFkIhrUdg7MTK-P4HqFaZFjcFD_oBVLaro/s1600/IMGP0360.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD_1ZUsiHy9JznQfVOA1lKCS2UuyQNuEihKaA0DKee1-KLjcNC23c0PvHJHWZuoAR6qBJk3IytnPbxbrLe8w9xbZE_awsbmgRsWOAaHQm34qFkIhrUdg7MTK-P4HqFaZFjcFD_oBVLaro/s200/IMGP0360.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623057459811489234" /></a><br />That night was our annual raffle. Everyone brings something to put into the raffle and then we buy some tickets and put them into what we would like to win and then take our chances. Some years you're lucky and some years you're not. It brings a little extra money into the reunion fund, which is great. I had a fairly good year and got some things for the cabin and some things I'm going to give away as gifts. Yeah for some Christmas shopping being done!!!! After that we did a lot of visiting and the kids were all very busy too. We really didn't need to worry much about them as there was a cool playground that Mr. Lott had made and a trampoline, along with some bikes, and battery powered cars. We were lucky to get them to come for meals.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2i4SGhWKJwKqEPO9Jh2Pz7snbtTIe3_pKDj7YPMTOKz8dO7x_bXf_kh50CZ4jybRd85UQKxqgFPW379FN8r_gIJc0S6BOtiJIwdccQLAk80WQSOLhKDG9JkxlbDjezJe5KTr1hGajAY/s1600/IMGP0368.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2i4SGhWKJwKqEPO9Jh2Pz7snbtTIe3_pKDj7YPMTOKz8dO7x_bXf_kh50CZ4jybRd85UQKxqgFPW379FN8r_gIJc0S6BOtiJIwdccQLAk80WQSOLhKDG9JkxlbDjezJe5KTr1hGajAY/s200/IMGP0368.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623045124561689618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ejv-cSqipVivgCSV5OkSV1ePcoff6dVDPKFT29VXmKFwu6oSK6PHrfyJaTEwieS4ZtixZlEpFwk_ZcPmisPZx3aF1y_EpTRaTaE2O8Dy9ehCrsAGxivn_2z_x7yYqguAiWih-0XDMME/s1600/IMGP0367.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ejv-cSqipVivgCSV5OkSV1ePcoff6dVDPKFT29VXmKFwu6oSK6PHrfyJaTEwieS4ZtixZlEpFwk_ZcPmisPZx3aF1y_EpTRaTaE2O8Dy9ehCrsAGxivn_2z_x7yYqguAiWih-0XDMME/s200/IMGP0367.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623045117319662818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRa5S-MLGcfNXcMidC2xOZyaL0NoLiHslqQkaqSNLiltGvxsCB1eoWm6z4r4E3IVX2iEgzk3i8x1YvPNO_HIcuXzNIqGCIVZmgdEFyhpR7K36sKj-rm1y7OmD1WqC-X3UIdeQOeYWZIyk/s1600/IMGP0356.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRa5S-MLGcfNXcMidC2xOZyaL0NoLiHslqQkaqSNLiltGvxsCB1eoWm6z4r4E3IVX2iEgzk3i8x1YvPNO_HIcuXzNIqGCIVZmgdEFyhpR7K36sKj-rm1y7OmD1WqC-X3UIdeQOeYWZIyk/s200/IMGP0356.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623045104994401554" /></a><br />The next morning we got up had my favorite breakfast, french toast, and then the Hegerhorsts needed to get headed home. They had the farthest to travel and had some obligations to get home earlier. So we had our family meeting so they could get on there way. The family meeting went well and we didn't feel the need to make many changes to the reunion as a family. Marla and Mark will be in charge next year and so we'll be headed to Idaho. It was asked that if needed if our cabin would be a possibility, and we told them that we can always go there. It is fun though to go different places and do different things.<br />(I must have been too involved with visiting etc., because today when I went looking for pictures, I realized that we only have pictures of us on the hike. I thought for sure I had put some on my phone or on my camera, but no. So thanks Honey for taking your camera along on the hike at least.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ssng18AkEeWUOW42pF7SsLM0VMaRqlQzpypfa8iOsXUDyI9tBvJkB_WLo3eENBHGJ_v7cUxk6i9n3YtgX15ntzAs_533qwqgWktPtUwEexpjdjASEVrgVKwTAPoxGr8hsi4sRxKvkEE/s1600/IMGP0370.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ssng18AkEeWUOW42pF7SsLM0VMaRqlQzpypfa8iOsXUDyI9tBvJkB_WLo3eENBHGJ_v7cUxk6i9n3YtgX15ntzAs_533qwqgWktPtUwEexpjdjASEVrgVKwTAPoxGr8hsi4sRxKvkEE/s200/IMGP0370.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623052249035004418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqkSZqGOWL1KiqI-BB6BbuOzlFefuExdBs6vdvolF-xf5gNfTyTc0_LtIlOirzcA4sTVakMy68HkNVcpO6yXLGVs-1qD92F4N6nMMrjcGouS2l0t7SfvPO4sAPJT-XLT-Rnmbk437vaqI/s1600/IMGP0345.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqkSZqGOWL1KiqI-BB6BbuOzlFefuExdBs6vdvolF-xf5gNfTyTc0_LtIlOirzcA4sTVakMy68HkNVcpO6yXLGVs-1qD92F4N6nMMrjcGouS2l0t7SfvPO4sAPJT-XLT-Rnmbk437vaqI/s200/IMGP0345.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623052238689271330" /></a><br />Larry and I then took down our tent so that we wouldn't have to do that in the very hottest part of the day. We also helped take down and help pack the Stowes up. After lunch we parted ways for another year. I know our parents are very happy with us carrying on the tradition. Family was always so important to them, and I know that they are happy that we are keeping our families connected. It was a small group this year, but there has been a lot of things happening in families this year. I hope that there can be more of us there next year to continue keeping our relationships going.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwmjY1SWzGah4KZ8yyCtOwPSrjGw4pe0K0je5NnCF55NZvaALuA_3V3tlsgx4HEaDypnTRkq8n22t7l_4Qcn_LkvcwoSOy_kbpqDfBGlWGlLwdRhqNR8uf8KmT2VM5MNtIDzzGN9uKZQ/s1600/IMGP0377.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwmjY1SWzGah4KZ8yyCtOwPSrjGw4pe0K0je5NnCF55NZvaALuA_3V3tlsgx4HEaDypnTRkq8n22t7l_4Qcn_LkvcwoSOy_kbpqDfBGlWGlLwdRhqNR8uf8KmT2VM5MNtIDzzGN9uKZQ/s200/IMGP0377.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623058930226978162" /></a><br />I'm also so grateful that Shannon and Chris have made the effort to come. I know that my family has enjoyed getting to know them better. It makes me feel great that they care enough about me to have a desire to make a connection with my family. I don't feel like I have two separate families when they make efforts to get to know my family and my family gets to know them. I hope that some of my other step children will get to know my family as well.<br />After we left there Larry and I went on down to Bonnie and Randy's in St. George to finish the weekend. Roberta and Keith also came down to tune Bonnie's and Kraig's piano's, so we had a nice time just relaxing, taking a shower and visiting there. I also caught a small nap, which was nice. Roberta and Keith took off for home and then Larry and I spent some time with Bonnie and Randy and their boys, Kraig and Kameron and families. We went out to eat and then over to Kraigs for some card playing. Sunday morning we went to Sacrament meeting and then Larry and I headed off for home. I don't know what I came down with, but I was a little upset to my stomach and headache with a bit of a fever. So sorry Sweetheart, I wasn't too much company on the way home as I slept a lot. After we got home we picked up the kids at the spa. They were very happy to see us....even though going is so much fun, there is "No Place Like Home" for them and for us!<br />Thanks for the fun time family!! I love you all so much!! <br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-91377868176156530472011-06-14T12:47:00.016-06:002011-06-16T08:15:07.208-06:00Trilobites and Internment Camps.....History...History<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinRNpyDMAMdc6lIFfex2WPRh7AXmPfP5YHqtJmunRwUojsyq6rplBTeVUoy4R7-NDcNmzDpoRqCJkzGEYrfvxWK0xuzBDhPygrM6t1yh5rtAgw_s0TkMt9y8PGPkLgJMTkml9RBvtqnh8/s1600/DSCF5684.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinRNpyDMAMdc6lIFfex2WPRh7AXmPfP5YHqtJmunRwUojsyq6rplBTeVUoy4R7-NDcNmzDpoRqCJkzGEYrfvxWK0xuzBDhPygrM6t1yh5rtAgw_s0TkMt9y8PGPkLgJMTkml9RBvtqnh8/s200/DSCF5684.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618173277686387650" /></a><br />On June 9th and 10th my friend Brenda(also a 4th grade teacher) and I went on a little trip to Delta, Utah. I think you may have to be a 4th grade teacher to get really excited about this trip, but I'm sure that you may think it is fun also. Since in 4th grade in Utah we study everything Utah, Brenda and I have been planning on going down to Delta soon after school was out to go Trilobite hunting. We study Utah rocks and fossils as part of our science core. If you don't know what a Trilobite is, it was an arthropod from Millions of years ago. Most of the Great Basin was once under an ancient sea and Trilobites abounded there. So we decided to go hunting. Delta has a great place to do that. <br />Well to start at the beginning of our trip, we headed off Thursday about 11:00. I picked up Brenda and her 16 year old son, Nathan, in Tooele. We enjoyed our drive down to Delta, which only takes us about 1 1/2 hours. When we got there about 12:30 we decided to check in at the Motel. (Days Inn) I guess I should have taken a picture. It was a clean and nice place to stay. Then we decided to grab a little lunch at the pizza place there in town. <br /><br /><br />We then went down to the Great Basin Museum right there in Delta. They have rocks, fossils, and other historical things, but the reason we really went there was to see the stuff they had about the internment camp. The ladies there were very nice and gave us lots of information. We talked to them about why we were there and they offered us some rock samples for free. What teacher doesn't take free. So we got a couple of different kinds of Obsidian that we'll be able to share with our students when we are talking about rocks. Then we went out back and saw one of the Japanese bunk houses. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIAA9Y7pVzCR27GjCkhcjVCGDt_eCINCIw8Wq74S_98o04d0u8OEKgvSt8t2GU-FVnCxSJpOXWLDtMzIn9yJ3jJcZ2O4jtJdRQzsvYxxCUcmB7ncLv6LKVeBs2M2Q8A7xwAr-VFWKYLXY/s1600/DSCF5662.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIAA9Y7pVzCR27GjCkhcjVCGDt_eCINCIw8Wq74S_98o04d0u8OEKgvSt8t2GU-FVnCxSJpOXWLDtMzIn9yJ3jJcZ2O4jtJdRQzsvYxxCUcmB7ncLv6LKVeBs2M2Q8A7xwAr-VFWKYLXY/s200/DSCF5662.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618172346674035778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh21fyAtx-QLFV7xAIVNCwSwhC_GJJAMbZEW9V2NnMbgjaB28WPwVMAyof5pFyaWc6Pgjnwzv31EizW73SRbroMOJAB3j5VeNcO4aU_C_58VYbgoFqzxs8YzO7UzdJFU7FDkKOQ7i1AIRs/s1600/DSCF5665.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh21fyAtx-QLFV7xAIVNCwSwhC_GJJAMbZEW9V2NnMbgjaB28WPwVMAyof5pFyaWc6Pgjnwzv31EizW73SRbroMOJAB3j5VeNcO4aU_C_58VYbgoFqzxs8YzO7UzdJFU7FDkKOQ7i1AIRs/s200/DSCF5665.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618172336750486802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJv3LMrwIkZ5kmv7NBvwBOVViwOos5GGKysPIM6j2yXXjTD2kL6jtT2IMAZtFGcQkmVMiXu5YnYAXNHqfT3Wo3SwgjHlpygDc_ldTRgavf-QwA6w5TlUWnTRBVtEP0NeQYU8dXd_zvtA/s1600/DSCF5672.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJv3LMrwIkZ5kmv7NBvwBOVViwOos5GGKysPIM6j2yXXjTD2kL6jtT2IMAZtFGcQkmVMiXu5YnYAXNHqfT3Wo3SwgjHlpygDc_ldTRgavf-QwA6w5TlUWnTRBVtEP0NeQYU8dXd_zvtA/s200/DSCF5672.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618171363035814258" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQdKFcpMoIQu5IzxUkNp5YXK0lFdz6l1EwVr87C3OEPfT-cJKw0aGuIDkGwb7zHdBUWv1UOKzzE5XyEKoe-TBFe3X_h7AOr1QIjfbaHAPVEoCEvShLj1bJ6uYwlsGi2SFYH2phYgnSpg/s1600/DSCF5664.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfQdKFcpMoIQu5IzxUkNp5YXK0lFdz6l1EwVr87C3OEPfT-cJKw0aGuIDkGwb7zHdBUWv1UOKzzE5XyEKoe-TBFe3X_h7AOr1QIjfbaHAPVEoCEvShLj1bJ6uYwlsGi2SFYH2phYgnSpg/s200/DSCF5664.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618171371262381090" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After leaving the museum we decided to head out to the Japanese internment camp that was there just outside of town in a little area called Abraham. American Japanese were put there between the years of 1942-1945, during World War 2. I was especially interested in seeing this site, I think because our house when I was born had been an internment home my parents had bought and had brought to Wendell. I'm such a visual person...I learn about things, but actually seeing the site brings it to life for me. I was thinking about how these American Japanese who were brought from the Bay Area in California to this desolate area must have felt. Not that this area doesn't have a beauty of it's own, but what a difference!!!! There really isn't all that much out there, but there are still the foundations of buildings and a scout has done a project by putting out small signs that tell what would have been in that area. As we drove around we could see where the schools would have been and many other things. I was amazed at how expansive it was and how many people lived there. They lost all their property and and had nothing when the internment camp was dissolved. Many went back to California, and others went other places and many stayed in Utah. I'm sure it was that way in all of the 10 internment camps they had. I guess you might just say it is another injustice that the people of the United states have done to another group of people. The worst part of going out there, and I'm sure it was because of this wet spring we've had, but there were GIANT mosquitos just swarming around the car just waiting for you to get out so they could attack you. The pictures we took were quick so that we could jump back in the car.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAwojKIUE6SZXotBbQMy_NyIJPHZerD4zlvpANrrA0RafBV1NBMNCJnOmzPUVTVb3aDCztfuUJ3WNWlJ4dn4iFbWN52S7knYiNU0aPByY3FCehE8PG4URCkgTPwD9Jtc52CA9lXZZ0n8/s1600/DSCF5675.JPG"><img style="float:right;

It was a little bit of a trip out to the site. It is about 32 miles west of Delta on the highway and then 20 more miles along a well groomed dirt/gravel road. We made it there about 9:15 and the guy who runs it was running late and it wasn't open yet. He arrived about 9:30 and by the time we got started it was about 10:00. we paid to dig for 4 hours. A little pricey to do your own digging in rocks for 4 hours, but worth it to us....and we did get an educator's discount...and they do use a big back hoe to turn the rocks and make it a little easier to find them.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-G3gZ71-WBO2UWnykhAQsVGznFKyHa56crcf7UPxOxxfRFEHAgIkT9826QF_d4k326KHm0T50E-ENrnIcc2kBkkgoplytyWsej9J4D94ADPGh8eZIa9cEudpgwOgrfOHds7F_WLK5gs/s1600/032.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-G3gZ71-WBO2UWnykhAQsVGznFKyHa56crcf7UPxOxxfRFEHAgIkT9826QF_d4k326KHm0T50E-ENrnIcc2kBkkgoplytyWsej9J4D94ADPGh8eZIa9cEudpgwOgrfOHds7F_WLK5gs/s200/032.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618183153252239010" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvzT1JDDACKCNIpg1fMEegnxnBOgd68JZMoIukAu_yt1KiUFl6naPpCEDba40fZ4hvragcbEyvI1S2TN58EMLA_0LDPhwrqbIayzil-qxkAUiANxpCjnPCvfdGiEbG9MmDML4ZGRL1WA/s1600/029.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvzT1JDDACKCNIpg1fMEegnxnBOgd68JZMoIukAu_yt1KiUFl6naPpCEDba40fZ4hvragcbEyvI1S2TN58EMLA_0LDPhwrqbIayzil-qxkAUiANxpCjnPCvfdGiEbG9MmDML4ZGRL1WA/s200/029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618183160892415218" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUmY96diHAeHXOdadnXAT2d1eYGdsAiPXZPIWJxFkEpSsqfrgZRaFHfGAbHWhyphenhyphenj8HNF0MMBFAsEgODhPDexijTaqwQmX3T0HIfCv4ZIVG2avMIYq1aKytXMXom_rky3ONkTYqLv3jlJY/s1600/027.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUmY96diHAeHXOdadnXAT2d1eYGdsAiPXZPIWJxFkEpSsqfrgZRaFHfGAbHWhyphenhyphenj8HNF0MMBFAsEgODhPDexijTaqwQmX3T0HIfCv4ZIVG2avMIYq1aKytXMXom_rky3ONkTYqLv3jlJY/s200/027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618183157977922322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZE6QkmcpWdFvDF1gludX-5MFQADZEivu-2tGlROVTtY1YOFxRB9dIi8Ag5A8L0zKJCSzbW894NLZ7O1LlkbHow2XaPorPhMsJnZr4AtNJk0G5AdQRAUaNYc2YaTwN-I_uPoVJLj34l38/s1600/031.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 115px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZE6QkmcpWdFvDF1gludX-5MFQADZEivu-2tGlROVTtY1YOFxRB9dIi8Ag5A8L0zKJCSzbW894NLZ7O1LlkbHow2XaPorPhMsJnZr4AtNJk0G5AdQRAUaNYc2YaTwN-I_uPoVJLj34l38/s200/031.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618185936732558514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlvTyM2BtW-QD81MGJg1lSgAO6m3vcH4BP_6KaAZ0XJgI7q-vPblGCL5iSYbCGX9hHPKadjHVfMyufp1wHib9kCO_vIagPiJdQauAWXo5LL2jTH3OkWSBup6oeZhPWfCFTbs6DplDdI8/s1600/030.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlvTyM2BtW-QD81MGJg1lSgAO6m3vcH4BP_6KaAZ0XJgI7q-vPblGCL5iSYbCGX9hHPKadjHVfMyufp1wHib9kCO_vIagPiJdQauAWXo5LL2jTH3OkWSBup6oeZhPWfCFTbs6DplDdI8/s200/030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618185926888377730" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFSdcqRlN2_YO4G1owNrhpPMr_G8sdVIgqk2Ds1ah0yCmwOw7Da92wDuMvwnFuBwNyunDsp6yKRWIqF650H6HqnW3G70Ok7Dv5JiVethBN9dBxg-iFErTL6zcvcWfhEa7dnbCdDvEA8Qs/s1600/027.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFSdcqRlN2_YO4G1owNrhpPMr_G8sdVIgqk2Ds1ah0yCmwOw7Da92wDuMvwnFuBwNyunDsp6yKRWIqF650H6HqnW3G70Ok7Dv5JiVethBN9dBxg-iFErTL6zcvcWfhEa7dnbCdDvEA8Qs/s200/027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618185926145815314" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We thought if we dug for a longer time, we might get enough to allow our students to each have their own sample. I'm not sure that we got enough for all of them, but if not we might just use them for prizes. It was fun to actually dig the fossils out of the shale and see how the trilobites actually were buried in layers of what was to become this sedimentary rock.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIl3IQACEoGHy6jwys_yewI5pZIEO2SpwItlFzkUdacOMHGPQuV0cuyNS4CWfRZlvRxyEeowFykJbxTcXBdFmLstS1fHdIdwvLHTtRxl-6l16IOtK36tlby0teAn_iq89dqPFm4mCp70/s1600/DSCF5697.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIl3IQACEoGHy6jwys_yewI5pZIEO2SpwItlFzkUdacOMHGPQuV0cuyNS4CWfRZlvRxyEeowFykJbxTcXBdFmLstS1fHdIdwvLHTtRxl-6l16IOtK36tlby0teAn_iq89dqPFm4mCp70/s200/DSCF5697.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618186784909279394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHpOdSVT_EfPynm1hRgc50hJHXrlyzbf1-ZUFJplbIJ3rqRzacRzWUFZlVxbu9QB6J-AtsxioEfj2WAk5XgJfibGf5SJsxdgFO3id1AGFwo7cMjwCAiBnNj1QBWHGuQnY4bXeZvp2tmQ/s1600/DSCF5695.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCHpOdSVT_EfPynm1hRgc50hJHXrlyzbf1-ZUFJplbIJ3rqRzacRzWUFZlVxbu9QB6J-AtsxioEfj2WAk5XgJfibGf5SJsxdgFO3id1AGFwo7cMjwCAiBnNj1QBWHGuQnY4bXeZvp2tmQ/s200/DSCF5695.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618186779957788162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7DEo0iDssC25VoZtE5k806oDI1n9rZBmIJOY3Tf-y_uG15KEgM0GJlSC4IeqhiRWZrWvTwHdO1mm8k52BbTu-fm6BA7rxdI-GxDGV6uMplfaztnVGvfFGegoURKdmWo_fA04SpT4CBc/s1600/DSCF5693.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7DEo0iDssC25VoZtE5k806oDI1n9rZBmIJOY3Tf-y_uG15KEgM0GJlSC4IeqhiRWZrWvTwHdO1mm8k52BbTu-fm6BA7rxdI-GxDGV6uMplfaztnVGvfFGegoURKdmWo_fA04SpT4CBc/s200/DSCF5693.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618186778965197778" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The ones in the pictures were a great find for me to just have to share through the years. The ones we got for the students may not be quite this good, but we do have some good traces of the fossils. By the time 2:30, we were all very tired and ready to get something more substantial to eat. So we headed back to Delta and had a burger at a burger place there in town, and I couldn't resist a small fresh strawberry shake. By the time we got through it was about 5:00 so we headed back to Tooele. We had a great time and learned a few new things and on top of everything have some great fossils.

In some ways that seems so short and then it seems like we've been together forever, a great forever!! I just want to say that I love you Babe, so much more than I did on that day 8 years ago. We went through so much to have that beautiful day at the Vernal Temple and my love has only grown stronger for you, Larry! You're my strength when I need someone to lean upon. You're my pal to do so many fun things with. You're my confidant when I need that listening ear. I love when you smile at me, it tells me how much you love me. I love when you tell me "I LOVE YOU" just out of the blue. I love cuddling with you and enjoying your soft touches. You are my world and my "Eternal Buddy". I'm so grateful for the beautiful opportunity that we have to be sealed for Time and All Eternity. You're the BEST!! I LOVE YOU! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-4936212947620473002011-06-06T08:44:00.017-06:002011-06-06T16:42:11.662-06:00Memorial Day Weekend '11<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2DXbG3YL9WUWWe7CzfdTliSNZ5suA54Jj7lq2rb8GEeJnsRIsFiw8qEJ9n7j_Z3blMm60i10L0Y7v791qGHUBmlOF3jjUhlbE5se9yuGBkphp9AtuHV2HON6uibMOana5PWAHqef8as/s1600/DSCF5632.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi2DXbG3YL9WUWWe7CzfdTliSNZ5suA54Jj7lq2rb8GEeJnsRIsFiw8qEJ9n7j_Z3blMm60i10L0Y7v791qGHUBmlOF3jjUhlbE5se9yuGBkphp9AtuHV2HON6uibMOana5PWAHqef8as/s200/DSCF5632.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615142931661883986" /></a><br /><br />This Memorial Day weekend was a busy one for us. When we were first talking about it, we knew we wouldn't make a weekend up at the cabin, since there is still snow there. We can't really get in by snowmobile, because of patchy snow, with 3 feet in some places and very little in others. So I told Larry I'd like to do a few things. I would like to go to Jordan's graduation in Vernal and I would like to go to Idaho to help Marla decorate graves. I asked him which one he would rather do and he said, "Let's do both." So we made plans to do both. My last day of school was that Friday and I didn't get out until 1:05. I knew it would take a few minutes to get out of there and by the time I got home it was about 1:35 or so. Larry had had the day off and so he already had the dogs down to the kennel and so we were pretty ready to walk out the door, which was good since Jordan's graduation was at 5:30 and it was a 3 hour drive at least. We arrived there at 5:00 and made our way to the High School Stadium. Georgia and Richard were already there and had saved us some seats. Thanks Georgia!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqnTiZ8Eqi4WIDc_RP616StvtFKN6kLIdt1i6y-IgFeHV6jq6VCS0at3tBTRyeA4uNJZWPdEGRqlvz_4T6AE5h1gBmM-jcKmfpVdbOdJ-MsNNcQAhRvYioEVcLw1duzXVf2RBHjyeZ9U/s1600/DSCF5625.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqnTiZ8Eqi4WIDc_RP616StvtFKN6kLIdt1i6y-IgFeHV6jq6VCS0at3tBTRyeA4uNJZWPdEGRqlvz_4T6AE5h1gBmM-jcKmfpVdbOdJ-MsNNcQAhRvYioEVcLw1duzXVf2RBHjyeZ9U/s200/DSCF5625.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615175265423790098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZd5j26Dv35BBGUWTMuOcMsXvta2EHJ6mxud_7A0UJom0CjHDjkAskgbBF4vmuwK9F775sTKcu0vokas8dRoixG4HozeFcC5sKH_BqVix6aZmmF0IsjXgLhI1EviR5_Nzs4hBUX3rAwaY/s1600/DSCF5626.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZd5j26Dv35BBGUWTMuOcMsXvta2EHJ6mxud_7A0UJom0CjHDjkAskgbBF4vmuwK9F775sTKcu0vokas8dRoixG4HozeFcC5sKH_BqVix6aZmmF0IsjXgLhI1EviR5_Nzs4hBUX3rAwaY/s200/DSCF5626.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615172802771884466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGc_tBNiSaXDjv3RjhZ8qMHZbyN9wgjrDGTmLbZE5oDYkP5GhLvwBW_ubVEGOfVeZtEP9E4p8CUVtlYCAktZtE9yk0W1UqFp4Gf4hIDkxzZFAdhZmdwRYhJrYXWKJyKyApWUtHynz7VNc/s1600/DSCF5628.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGc_tBNiSaXDjv3RjhZ8qMHZbyN9wgjrDGTmLbZE5oDYkP5GhLvwBW_ubVEGOfVeZtEP9E4p8CUVtlYCAktZtE9yk0W1UqFp4Gf4hIDkxzZFAdhZmdwRYhJrYXWKJyKyApWUtHynz7VNc/s200/DSCF5628.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615160759236229762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix_tt-6nSt4TlDaLly0p2kznf1PiYC4-PNHASdnXslxv3IghRGrEpmbAMT0P84wvkx2JgKEWBG4cwPkCy_coxkUAt_os8PN1GjlYGqhgSmTSj9s0HiX9hrct3rNdBu4ayS4oBFeZ8fQ24/s1600/DSCF5634.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix_tt-6nSt4TlDaLly0p2kznf1PiYC4-PNHASdnXslxv3IghRGrEpmbAMT0P84wvkx2JgKEWBG4cwPkCy_coxkUAt_os8PN1GjlYGqhgSmTSj9s0HiX9hrct3rNdBu4ayS4oBFeZ8fQ24/s200/DSCF5634.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615160750307426194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeHNEfPXmhznA1WnKWw_tmK-cjWf2vr21iG1ACk7qwv3SIfoIOq4S_RX0GuEVbSG8bvOup_3AwqqbJoVYpHJGbkoWb97RP0FAMdas3zW7qK_X1jPIVXVmV5geF5qg0IcFwa0oWKr6r3Y/s1600/DSCF5633.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeHNEfPXmhznA1WnKWw_tmK-cjWf2vr21iG1ACk7qwv3SIfoIOq4S_RX0GuEVbSG8bvOup_3AwqqbJoVYpHJGbkoWb97RP0FAMdas3zW7qK_X1jPIVXVmV5geF5qg0IcFwa0oWKr6r3Y/s200/DSCF5633.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615160740023744338" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It was fun to be out and enjoy the graduation of the last of the nieces and nephews. We stayed there until Saturday afternoon and before heading for home, we took some time to go out to my nephew, Dustin's grave, who passed a year ago. We left a flower plant there and left our love with him. We hope Ashley took the plant home and planted it in her yard. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtOQkoCeZJVmsDPA01dh3ZVF_f0MLeL1JTXd3VUFsVsm4_jkdBYbZKiw8JB88ZPWBL6j7qGI3BsCcdLWokE8ChZSHPeTit7fw8hDmbpks_NNtQCEdWj5yDhdV_fLzIp-ZO2BcsdsQ-Y_A/s1600/DSCF5638.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtOQkoCeZJVmsDPA01dh3ZVF_f0MLeL1JTXd3VUFsVsm4_jkdBYbZKiw8JB88ZPWBL6j7qGI3BsCcdLWokE8ChZSHPeTit7fw8hDmbpks_NNtQCEdWj5yDhdV_fLzIp-ZO2BcsdsQ-Y_A/s200/DSCF5638.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615176078112566914" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Larry had said "yes" to us speaking in Sacrament Meeting on that Sunday. I have no idea why he thought that was a good idea.. :) Larry had worked on his talk a little throughout the week, I on the other hand had had very little time, since I was trying to get my classroom cleaned out along with the busy life of just finishing the last week of school. Finally that Thursday I sat down and found a bunch of articles and pulled out some thoughts I liked and put them into a word document to work on throughout the weekend. I had told Larry that I didn't have time to feel the spirit that week.. lol ... but I guess it found a way through anyway, because I had a plan of how to put the talk together. It was on the restoration and that is a pretty wide topic to begin with so I was happy that the spirit gave me a plan. Anyway....thank goodness for laptops, because I worked on my talk a little on Saturday at the Millett's and then pretty much finished my talk on the way home from Vernal and then when we got home at 9:00 I helped Larry tweak his talk a little. I'm not sure that they were great, but it was great to have the talks over. We got out of church at 2:00 and came home and finished getting things ready for the trip to Idaho. Our niece, Katie, had graciously accepted for us to stay with her in Wendell and then we wouldn't have to go all the way to Bruneau and then back to Wendell. Thanks, Katie. Anyway, we headed off for Idaho around 3:00.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5MkMYDT9p7LFd5g3Q2xw0otgJX9gEYzSL9JKYQjK57SrXtjH06HbM0jOUgnjj0qdT2NIhURfFqoVx0xQYzdkZWKByjRJ1OnvF94DtTDvU6icMbvyrtmqTGhUBIHrkUJ907s4fIOcoNc/s1600/DSCF5640.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5MkMYDT9p7LFd5g3Q2xw0otgJX9gEYzSL9JKYQjK57SrXtjH06HbM0jOUgnjj0qdT2NIhURfFqoVx0xQYzdkZWKByjRJ1OnvF94DtTDvU6icMbvyrtmqTGhUBIHrkUJ907s4fIOcoNc/s200/DSCF5640.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615177191245692946" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE0uIH-rlvsXsxWLzzo9bEk3HneRbek0PYLDqt0wHMsNgq81qPXtLPl2DJBgAlO7K0R3kzRYCf-H-sOm-eMeSVpqsb-oQJHvCFS7pUZqEXFDknYZG3Z-qWWRdPMdJg44vSOmU7lq9M8_Q/s1600/DSCF5639.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE0uIH-rlvsXsxWLzzo9bEk3HneRbek0PYLDqt0wHMsNgq81qPXtLPl2DJBgAlO7K0R3kzRYCf-H-sOm-eMeSVpqsb-oQJHvCFS7pUZqEXFDknYZG3Z-qWWRdPMdJg44vSOmU7lq9M8_Q/s200/DSCF5639.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615177181206490578" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> We had bought some plants out in Vernal for all the graves that we had planned to put flowers on. I knew that Marla had the artificial flowers for a lot of the graves. Anyway, we stopped in Roy to spend a little time at Larry's parents' graves to pay our respect and love to them. We saw that Larry's brother and wife had already been there, but we left a couple of beautiful geraniums there and took a few pictures. We then headed on to Idaho. We arrived at Katie's and spent some time visiting with her. After a great nights sleep we arose and got ready to head to Gooding to meet my sister, Marla and two of her other girls, Margie and Emily. Gooding is where my mother was raised and where my maternal grandmother and grandfather are buried along with a few other family members. I was a little shocked at the Gooding Cemetery, it is always so beautiful and green with the old trees around. When we got there the grass was all brown inbetween the headstones. I guess, after talking to someone in the cemetery, they thought they had a weed killer and instead they found out it was roundup. I don't know what they will do about it, but I hope to see it beautiful and green again when I go up again.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzTrXePxSw6e7XbEaim22m4mwwfQ12sMbISwErbuzPSMm4EXhyphenhyphenuoMzqe4w5HO0ZDnUewsAL9QuhBrykQTVWApE4OsbMBEDjwt7SuuRLQ_P0fWjV-ORbiQ9GUc-mASl8pN2ZekNYBhgKQ/s1600/DSCF5650.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzTrXePxSw6e7XbEaim22m4mwwfQ12sMbISwErbuzPSMm4EXhyphenhyphenuoMzqe4w5HO0ZDnUewsAL9QuhBrykQTVWApE4OsbMBEDjwt7SuuRLQ_P0fWjV-ORbiQ9GUc-mASl8pN2ZekNYBhgKQ/s200/DSCF5650.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615178570251869794" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9gJIVjv4hoyeviSVwcd1PptYrmD-fP2VqjDlPpzIZ2hzLGvyWizvFhFgVD0-D9t-GlMLARqheHBd8caHwobTrWm5Buym67SAB2QZ2LUfsm7YjRzJX1nlDjw73Ms9xrfjOHG949BkmDs/s1600/001.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9gJIVjv4hoyeviSVwcd1PptYrmD-fP2VqjDlPpzIZ2hzLGvyWizvFhFgVD0-D9t-GlMLARqheHBd8caHwobTrWm5Buym67SAB2QZ2LUfsm7YjRzJX1nlDjw73Ms9xrfjOHG949BkmDs/s200/001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615178562661760546" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />We then headed to Wendell, where my mother and father are buried, along with a ton of other paternal relatives.

Anyway, back to the decoration of the graves. We spent time taking care of mom and dad's grave and I planted some red geraniums in the planters next to the headstone. Marla usually puts a hanging plant on the grave also. It is still great to feel like you are taking care of and giving your respect to your parents even after they have gone beyond the veil. We miss them and love them for all they have given to us, taught us, and for the love they gave us throughout their lives. While there we saw some cousins, which is always fun to see each other and enjoy some time catching up. We missed seeing my dad's only sister still living, my Aunt June, I was sorry that we did.<br />After finishing up at the cemetery we headed back to Katie's and had some lunch with Marla and the girls. I asked them if they'd like to go to Twin with us and go to Shoshone Falls. Shoshone Falls are falls in the canyon the Snake River has cut out by Twin Falls, Idaho. In fact you have to cross over a bridge that spans the canyon to get to Twin Falls. I knew that the water is a lot higher this year with the wet spring and snow still up in the mountains and I thought Larry would like to see the falls. I can't believe that we've never taken the time to go over there to the falls since we've been married. Marla and the girls thought that would be fun, so except Emily, who had taken off to go back to school in Rexburg, we all headed off to Twin Falls. I guess we weren't the only ones who thought it would be fun, because when we got over there there was a line of cars going down into the canyon. Since we were in two cars we decided to leave one car at the top and jump into the other car and just take one down. We weren't disappointed when we got down to the falls. The water was pouring over the falls and the mist was so thick we couldn't really see the bottom of the falls. Shoshone Falls are actually taller than Niagra Falls, at 212 feet, they just aren't as wide.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIfeCb371sq1jBcUjoCGjuey84nYgMuhH6h0YxvUB8KFUKOuUA44kuwfDQDUn3HZfOJMz9_vcNt27cLWkNpVnVhlgzjw8R-jJ99rW3fMI5rjTqkWJt6sVZ6Zd6dW9nsTGpNzOV_W9LZyk/s1600/DSCF5659.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIfeCb371sq1jBcUjoCGjuey84nYgMuhH6h0YxvUB8KFUKOuUA44kuwfDQDUn3HZfOJMz9_vcNt27cLWkNpVnVhlgzjw8R-jJ99rW3fMI5rjTqkWJt6sVZ6Zd6dW9nsTGpNzOV_W9LZyk/s200/DSCF5659.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615224952391781522" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMuPXK2XFEjIiMfFDQU_sIR07ngKeaGnOVpsrcPnBG91QTDH5EMz5GB6MU5LmR_W-6cjhxIgTNDWySP_Vy-mJJlLTZW7zmiBZszATcG00tPoRgvTSrKMCUWufdcWzWkTtpehCEtXj8CI/s1600/DSCF5657.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMuPXK2XFEjIiMfFDQU_sIR07ngKeaGnOVpsrcPnBG91QTDH5EMz5GB6MU5LmR_W-6cjhxIgTNDWySP_Vy-mJJlLTZW7zmiBZszATcG00tPoRgvTSrKMCUWufdcWzWkTtpehCEtXj8CI/s200/DSCF5657.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615224945023528770" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xkHLcFURKBlZm7NiOi8Jq_2omQxtd8nMn6G5dNayt-rLX7pHr-sYa99uzXm3cJ5MPtWrS61GsiiWYUffWjXzQ4aywEm8Iz9pqJSa5PrLBPASQ2C6Jq4rmFewK7SR2VAhoq1eVqSCh6g/s1600/DSCF5658.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xkHLcFURKBlZm7NiOi8Jq_2omQxtd8nMn6G5dNayt-rLX7pHr-sYa99uzXm3cJ5MPtWrS61GsiiWYUffWjXzQ4aywEm8Iz9pqJSa5PrLBPASQ2C6Jq4rmFewK7SR2VAhoq1eVqSCh6g/s200/DSCF5658.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615183037009888610" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPobrSzgAyyK4sjbG7JRpwflLV9KEbu2UcfJm_dMXRPlwd0x8wBJdv4X7PBGA_Jm5gyJtwTx9msMx7DtWF4RJJfR5GYBuws-fTgqykQboohaTHI7o9OVEVcQFVbiERwQD-ZsEJVs4uWg/s1600/DSCF5654.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqPobrSzgAyyK4sjbG7JRpwflLV9KEbu2UcfJm_dMXRPlwd0x8wBJdv4X7PBGA_Jm5gyJtwTx9msMx7DtWF4RJJfR5GYBuws-fTgqykQboohaTHI7o9OVEVcQFVbiERwQD-ZsEJVs4uWg/s200/DSCF5654.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615183025700105986" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1UBJdaAyPprctyTW1_3wzVyiQcy_Hoo3IlCk3p0Opa4ns5WJvHsSToH8ODZ3GmC8qjHk1zRh3Gqd-mFNiURs2DyecaTiS__-6U3eTD6UYdM1xB08P7Fd1oN33mt3A7OLJEUofzz9ESo/s1600/016.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz1UBJdaAyPprctyTW1_3wzVyiQcy_Hoo3IlCk3p0Opa4ns5WJvHsSToH8ODZ3GmC8qjHk1zRh3Gqd-mFNiURs2DyecaTiS__-6U3eTD6UYdM1xB08P7Fd1oN33mt3A7OLJEUofzz9ESo/s200/016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615183018255209042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCoBB4eMePz7cg-6NBphBZ4O9YMDl-t9kTpR5FjNxHXUgXrQEyXafHMSVKH3WRqLnhtDhV-FWQfg4xzyLzJB7b3iw4tBcRYNe10Hjco0sXFdSR43O9u93Mq8DBGneN6Gne-VA45ZwWFyU/s1600/022.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCoBB4eMePz7cg-6NBphBZ4O9YMDl-t9kTpR5FjNxHXUgXrQEyXafHMSVKH3WRqLnhtDhV-FWQfg4xzyLzJB7b3iw4tBcRYNe10Hjco0sXFdSR43O9u93Mq8DBGneN6Gne-VA45ZwWFyU/s200/022.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615239347762640098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN19h5KmhAuMHXR036uocXa0Ia5VFKGrH4wEh9to17dytW5tda468wboB5K0UEChaNdDzkEZVPQuczfBK8eYgYaZjcS2w8jxaJOhyCQJKMoD3_AbJWgCGGPOYv3TtTUyacoV6OzcRBa5U/s1600/021.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN19h5KmhAuMHXR036uocXa0Ia5VFKGrH4wEh9to17dytW5tda468wboB5K0UEChaNdDzkEZVPQuczfBK8eYgYaZjcS2w8jxaJOhyCQJKMoD3_AbJWgCGGPOYv3TtTUyacoV6OzcRBa5U/s200/021.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615239339471356962" /></a><br /><br /><br />Anyway, we had fun and enjoyed our time there. We made our way out of the canyon and said our goodbyes to Marla and the girls and headed for home. Once home we picked up our girls from the kennel and headed home. Sadie and Brandie were very excited to see us of course and we were happy to be home. Great weekend! Thanks everyone for putting us up and making our weekend terrific.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-47621749227435135122011-06-02T08:10:00.005-06:002011-06-02T18:38:31.432-06:00Schools Out For Summer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-lbOG3cfMLp5q_Q-AHS70f7a1b3PSXlZqy2VlSE_BL5_FPKLPi5zWzJnxV3dzEyrnegxUOCoNy92OeB9I2-E2-WQWSNswIb9QXy6kjgUfFlLwmyahjAj_1Y7JuOLof4PBx3D-o0X0_g/s1600/015.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-lbOG3cfMLp5q_Q-AHS70f7a1b3PSXlZqy2VlSE_BL5_FPKLPi5zWzJnxV3dzEyrnegxUOCoNy92OeB9I2-E2-WQWSNswIb9QXy6kjgUfFlLwmyahjAj_1Y7JuOLof4PBx3D-o0X0_g/s200/015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613637039356191202" /></a><br />It's over and a new era is about to begin. It has been an interesting couple of years since the fire at the old elementary school. Not only has it been a stressful last few years, I've also had a very stress filled last few weeks of school just trying to get everything completed to end the year. A lot of long hours the last week of school allowed me to get my portable classroom cleaned out and ready to move inside. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNei1bbfbetHnJDupMUAOXyifiVicK6sBOLd0VfiKWP7CMVoRvD21CZ6KmiqYTLKyzyJiinMveKzR05rq2xCkGxzzfI5dgsEfrSEC_mvoKQhNCRWdYCMjLpQnAws0I9_zqOdre4rf1E6w/s1600/DSCF4344.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNei1bbfbetHnJDupMUAOXyifiVicK6sBOLd0VfiKWP7CMVoRvD21CZ6KmiqYTLKyzyJiinMveKzR05rq2xCkGxzzfI5dgsEfrSEC_mvoKQhNCRWdYCMjLpQnAws0I9_zqOdre4rf1E6w/s200/DSCF4344.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613637031858509586" /></a><br /><br />It has been kind a interesting spring. I had hoped to go to the new Grantsville Elementary School, but fate would have that not to be. So then we began to make the best of staying at the school I am now. Those of us being left behind decided that we had a very good faculty staying and we wanted to make some changes that would make this school new and exciting for the students as the new school in town would be for the others. First on our list of changes was to change the mascot. Willow had been the k-2 school in town and with GES being the "Grizzlies" it had been the "Cubs".<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinL-kWutu-tKqJFopoRkTeGc-A0TrMqlIN0ELPZwZX34m6KKEyefp6i3JI1flA3O_oOBynF-vbE8wUx8aJUnSSSUfK2tgrb3l3heVAxQu9ElEFkWEkVGagGlDJoNewgjICSpoXb_ZF75g/s1600/DSCF4290.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinL-kWutu-tKqJFopoRkTeGc-A0TrMqlIN0ELPZwZX34m6KKEyefp6i3JI1flA3O_oOBynF-vbE8wUx8aJUnSSSUfK2tgrb3l3heVAxQu9ElEFkWEkVGagGlDJoNewgjICSpoXb_ZF75g/s200/DSCF4290.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613637026440231842" /></a><br /> We didn't think that the older kids would think too much of being the cubs. Not that cubs isn't a good mascot, but here, it had come to signify the young grizzly. We knew that especially the older kids wouldn't want to keep that as a mascot. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQ8pFSkShhUbqJiLftz6Z6VtruPEFo3GNX7TMyqgKvvXgtkKSSbojD5uM-LBxDYk44kOuUdf88SLIMMvjaauw1lC1f4_IGPnSCFj3kn_Lm8IArj-9ltalHje4ccjbSecNKQIqjxC7E18/s1600/DSCF5107.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQ8pFSkShhUbqJiLftz6Z6VtruPEFo3GNX7TMyqgKvvXgtkKSSbojD5uM-LBxDYk44kOuUdf88SLIMMvjaauw1lC1f4_IGPnSCFj3kn_Lm8IArj-9ltalHje4ccjbSecNKQIqjxC7E18/s200/DSCF5107.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613637018162028098" /></a><br /> So we did a vote at school, and with a little guidance from the teachers we will now be the "Wolves". We as a staff are quite excited for that. As we thought of how a wolf pack works, we thought it will be perfect to work on unifying a new school. We thought it would also have some great behavior plans to go with it. Wolf Packs work together, they take care of one another, they look after the pups. We want to use Rudyard Kipling's statement of "For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack" as our school pledge. We just think it is going to be great. <br />Other than that we've had a bit of a rough time getting going as a faculty, because we've had some changes. It was announced in May that our principal would be moved to the Jr. High so now we'll start the year with a new principal. Her name is Mrs. Coon, and as she was busy closing her school for the year, she hasn't done much with us. We feel like we're in a bit of a limbo. So guess some or our excitement to get the year started as been kinda put on hold. I'm sure we'll get moving, but just not as quickly as we had hoped. For now I guess I'm happy to just be moved into a building and not have to move again. I've moved every year for the last 3 years and so I am sick of putting up a brand new classroom every year. I'm happy that this will be my last time for awhile. I'm getting too old for this. :)<br />So I guess it is goodbye to my era at GES, and goodbye Willow Cubs and Hello to Willow Wolves. Looking forward to a new year, after a restful summer of course!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-50388959100453785292011-05-01T16:46:00.028-06:002011-05-01T20:32:09.715-06:00Spring Break Desert Adventure<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTVSG7s5QZ58ag2xJymeQSyM8ZZipQ9kGg1gVUWrQuE872E0uM6LIww5jy2EjqzEQRETZ8sEmGtcvVEdAd3i4VV-Grtbmlbw3hUwnfaUvvjkTmx9sIeOtUR3B64jeuBRDWVMnXit8Zs8/s1600/DSCF5553.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUTVSG7s5QZ58ag2xJymeQSyM8ZZipQ9kGg1gVUWrQuE872E0uM6LIww5jy2EjqzEQRETZ8sEmGtcvVEdAd3i4VV-Grtbmlbw3hUwnfaUvvjkTmx9sIeOtUR3B64jeuBRDWVMnXit8Zs8/s320/DSCF5553.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601900205729185458" /></a><br />This Spring Break had a desert flare. Since Larry lost so much vacation last year, we've been trying to use it little by little when I have vacations. I had a week off from school this year for the break, so Larry took the week as well. We had originally thought that we would do a little ATVing for the 1st part of the week and then go up to the cabin and the snow for the rest of the week. However with my knee and Larry's back not at their best, we were depending on Chris and Shan for a little extra help if we should have problems getting into the cabin. We didn't want to take the chance all by ourselves with all the new snowfall that was suppose to be up there. Chris and Shan were planning on going up with us on Wednesday. <br />Larry and I decided to go out on a little day trip on Saturday to Iosepa, pronounced Josepa, and take our ATV's and do some riding also. Iosepa is mostly just a grave site now, but when the Salt Lake Temple was being built many Hawaiians came to Utah to be close to the temple and receive their endowments and be sealed. I really don't know why they chose to be clear out there in Skull Valley, seems a long way from Salt Lake, but that is where they congregated. I know they were employed to do agricultural and stock, which was a church owned company. They stayed until the church announced they were going to build a temple in Hawaii and at that point most decided to go back to their homeland and help with the temple there. Iosepa is in the next valley west of the Tooele valley. I had not been out there, but had learned a lot about it since moving out here. So that was interesting to see.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvkckFJqBf1Zq3xy4S1MkNpZ2E7QzoBI8JbUXT9TSJX0BXxYqh07MWRmwd2b0bL_Fuc7hUycDh-x1X3zx5llcPj5tLzW1hok3hNB9J5AMs0LUD2w0GWUktvw4pZ5lthoczI3yloRHxrU/s1600/DSCF5563.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvkckFJqBf1Zq3xy4S1MkNpZ2E7QzoBI8JbUXT9TSJX0BXxYqh07MWRmwd2b0bL_Fuc7hUycDh-x1X3zx5llcPj5tLzW1hok3hNB9J5AMs0LUD2w0GWUktvw4pZ5lthoczI3yloRHxrU/s200/DSCF5563.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601903161027125506" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6IQ1IrUo7qg4DyZq2wNJUhg_o_BDF0vaOcd9obs2rjkmqwBusMXtkeENO_q_awc7ybIOc2xMnGZ6FCwZ97AbYEuFW7qp6XsjGhSVS7W76pj7xt7Bklh-CLOzYGSNpsKDR-qFeGMXSVI/s1600/DSCF5560.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv6IQ1IrUo7qg4DyZq2wNJUhg_o_BDF0vaOcd9obs2rjkmqwBusMXtkeENO_q_awc7ybIOc2xMnGZ6FCwZ97AbYEuFW7qp6XsjGhSVS7W76pj7xt7Bklh-CLOzYGSNpsKDR-qFeGMXSVI/s200/DSCF5560.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601903157774544322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnHcMgxa79n1Al4CaAL-A3-8FE1yGYITANQ8TWhazKd0sr2OPGfCraBbZqeiaxu7euri-sziji5QHf-KY0pYHSSG7cC9-Dcn_CyUjPfzOMdXiPUgcj-K4T-e444ZsmCzCqBILwIpUILo/s1600/DSCF5556.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnHcMgxa79n1Al4CaAL-A3-8FE1yGYITANQ8TWhazKd0sr2OPGfCraBbZqeiaxu7euri-sziji5QHf-KY0pYHSSG7cC9-Dcn_CyUjPfzOMdXiPUgcj-K4T-e444ZsmCzCqBILwIpUILo/s200/DSCF5556.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601903146203296770" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCbQX5Y1s2X1LUWGOmKPwdA2pQ2qtgAkmqhk3ub4ErzXd8jEvT58T37aT9Cknt741eAjr9p3yRFX7TtEDBwPHU6xW_PDK1q7HqTmTSJ2uXhF67_jECnq_D7BZxPv_0ymmL7K2PXUjfXhM/s1600/DSCF5552.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCbQX5Y1s2X1LUWGOmKPwdA2pQ2qtgAkmqhk3ub4ErzXd8jEvT58T37aT9Cknt741eAjr9p3yRFX7TtEDBwPHU6xW_PDK1q7HqTmTSJ2uXhF67_jECnq_D7BZxPv_0ymmL7K2PXUjfXhM/s200/DSCF5552.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601903142006560194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgz0cRMkcpZCGs4YBsvJEsGnir-c0KvFkt5VrQD1mc70fTm5aF7DN3cRsCMujn3yKMBiIsO05VKAh-H6vG82fadm8oeFjIOSp8gKzR99ivuScI_0A4Y3Ct36JrcdbneHuY4J-yJe7-ISE/s1600/DSCF5557.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgz0cRMkcpZCGs4YBsvJEsGnir-c0KvFkt5VrQD1mc70fTm5aF7DN3cRsCMujn3yKMBiIsO05VKAh-H6vG82fadm8oeFjIOSp8gKzR99ivuScI_0A4Y3Ct36JrcdbneHuY4J-yJe7-ISE/s200/DSCF5557.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601905490605765282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruWof9TDF0dErLs2h4vqSlewq43o1N-1f7guQeeyqUF3ZH9jx6XG7xAT3w7233WCVN9MeWr-PgvH0A8yEI0AvieANCn3kJOUiPws72vDtJzFIekMfZcaSkoZaJ511osOIPox4H5Knlno/s1600/DSCF5551.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgruWof9TDF0dErLs2h4vqSlewq43o1N-1f7guQeeyqUF3ZH9jx6XG7xAT3w7233WCVN9MeWr-PgvH0A8yEI0AvieANCn3kJOUiPws72vDtJzFIekMfZcaSkoZaJ511osOIPox4H5Knlno/s200/DSCF5551.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601905486697651554" /></a><br /><br />After that we headed farther south and west toward Dugway and the pony express route. There we went out to Erikson's Pass and found a good place to take our ATV's off the trailer and just do a little riding.

(They go down there a lot and ride on the dunes.) To make a long story shorter since they weren't going to the cabin, Larry and I decided maybe we better not go, just in case something should happen that we couldn't get ourselves out of. Since we were going to leave Monday and go out to Dugway Geode Beds and do a little digging and then down to Topaz Mountain to find some Topaz, in Juab County Monday and Tuesday anyway, maybe we would just go to the dunes with Shan and Chris.(They invited us we just didn't invite ourselves. LOL) We would already be in that area after leaving Topaz Mountain.<br /><br />Monday the rain was coming down hard and we knew we couldn't go out on those dirt roads along the Pony Express route, so we put off leaving until Tuesday. I packed some food that we could just eat cold, because I didn't want to have to take the stuff it would take to cook. We put together a bed in the back of the Pilot, which meant we didn't have to worry about setting up the tent either. So finally we were off. We again went back to the Pony Express route and headed off on our adventure. We stopped at Lookout Point and took a picture looking towards the East. Next we came to the Pet Cemetery...I don't really know much about it except there was a lady that lived out there that buried her pets there. The main reason we were going to stop there was to look for a geocache that we saw on the cache site was out there. BAD IDEA!!! It didn't look as wet as it truly was and that soil is totally clay! Well once we got down in there with our Pilot and trailer we could tell it was very muddy so we tried to get out of there, but on making a turn on the road to exit we were sucked into the edge of the road and no matter how we tried we just kept digging in deeper and deeper. The main road had not been that bad and so we hadn't thought much of going down into that area. When I had gotten out to help Larry try to figure what we were going to do, the clay was so slippery I couldn't believe it. The Lord was watching over us, because a guy who had just gotten his trailer set up across the road saw us there and came down and with a little effort pulled us out! He wouldn't have even been able to help us if there had not been some grassy areas. Phew...what a start to the vacation.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht61Fhpt33eehsISTtEo5wQdg91J80-pnIpU1oziBMRfy7u4DYMr29VOgEvlQ-8aZUWBxaqLen4hY8yvTYNRhX-tgE2AGe4UEzEcJlOZtjKAv9PT3XKNoAXV1SJAkZ58uX8rZUVSGvrQY/s1600/DSCF5581.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht61Fhpt33eehsISTtEo5wQdg91J80-pnIpU1oziBMRfy7u4DYMr29VOgEvlQ-8aZUWBxaqLen4hY8yvTYNRhX-tgE2AGe4UEzEcJlOZtjKAv9PT3XKNoAXV1SJAkZ58uX8rZUVSGvrQY/s200/DSCF5581.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601913749352742066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt2oY_OGH1SksABtA0xiCHgWkNVLgymMdikFLMLDH6SyekU0ZnQYfMMcfbkhnyCOGVqv1CwDFh-wrFX1rJNH0u9tAmLmg_zss8A64lgWTB0_0K5qHD17kDtPH0hyphenhyphen1RRoE8YoQqfXDmP4/s1600/DSCF5580.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRt2oY_OGH1SksABtA0xiCHgWkNVLgymMdikFLMLDH6SyekU0ZnQYfMMcfbkhnyCOGVqv1CwDFh-wrFX1rJNH0u9tAmLmg_zss8A64lgWTB0_0K5qHD17kDtPH0hyphenhyphen1RRoE8YoQqfXDmP4/s200/DSCF5580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601913737739098530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4ZEhB3yPQdJEGDNsGGIlbVPYtVxQ4eYWuq5NBW4NQQNpuIKU24InrtRNMSy9Cn7l-NzfTGDFrRvmGOdEgKFmWC5nMhe-Itkch4_mgFBzYrSKyGzy-7IwytFRlOYfCR_7wv9J064VXGw/s1600/DSCF5579.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4ZEhB3yPQdJEGDNsGGIlbVPYtVxQ4eYWuq5NBW4NQQNpuIKU24InrtRNMSy9Cn7l-NzfTGDFrRvmGOdEgKFmWC5nMhe-Itkch4_mgFBzYrSKyGzy-7IwytFRlOYfCR_7wv9J064VXGw/s200/DSCF5579.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601913728917618450" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />By early afternoon we had made our way out to the Geode Beds by the Dugway mountains. We found a place where several others were and began digging for some Geodes. I've decided that I could use some more instruction in rock hounding, but we did fairly well. Came home with several already broken open geodes and some that when we break them we hope that there will be some crystals inside. We shall see how well we did in finding them. It was fairly easy digging for them out there. They are in a clay mixture that looks a little like cookie dough.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7aA_roXRHtstXFtBi3RjjYhyphenhyphen8VexJQEyNdP-qpuOZcy27stAR7P3205zD3SvOapv2hNUxTvO3f0Z8ApaWyh8NPkeYditpTc2dN_rb_0Vg8ZeTdv-0W5BcpJGatwZm3YAtDLhm1Sb6p6U/s1600/DSCF5582.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7aA_roXRHtstXFtBi3RjjYhyphenhyphen8VexJQEyNdP-qpuOZcy27stAR7P3205zD3SvOapv2hNUxTvO3f0Z8ApaWyh8NPkeYditpTc2dN_rb_0Vg8ZeTdv-0W5BcpJGatwZm3YAtDLhm1Sb6p6U/s200/DSCF5582.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601917566031752066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgslQubUQKJPNvwwffd2QeTjxGPCVceafYRC6CZ4JT3O3HCCZCdllUVQoQ9Frk78S6mIw2_CRLQXUXP4VPh8iNEwfDGHIMGcANzGQIOeP9rCeny6_yM1A8Yx9nzyebi8YEj5JXySuZVUIQ/s1600/DSCF5583.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgslQubUQKJPNvwwffd2QeTjxGPCVceafYRC6CZ4JT3O3HCCZCdllUVQoQ9Frk78S6mIw2_CRLQXUXP4VPh8iNEwfDGHIMGcANzGQIOeP9rCeny6_yM1A8Yx9nzyebi8YEj5JXySuZVUIQ/s200/DSCF5583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601917562898067410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtU2rt0kARtENlz85JzyFkpUbgtMmOsGJGP1lVyZMyAsT8Ej3GhWQCLSe9lr9m0LS8zQZCmw9UzloEUXhssDH6441IQ_GXdMyK9svIottrDJIpBV4sOV-msmLAHMYfxLeQE2uWKmHZ1SA/s1600/DSCF5587.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtU2rt0kARtENlz85JzyFkpUbgtMmOsGJGP1lVyZMyAsT8Ej3GhWQCLSe9lr9m0LS8zQZCmw9UzloEUXhssDH6441IQ_GXdMyK9svIottrDJIpBV4sOV-msmLAHMYfxLeQE2uWKmHZ1SA/s200/DSCF5587.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601917552449826802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpoGa8KGmV3C8nN8R5ihKh2-oF1YsnOzLccHzIli5p8g2DvA6RuVayWoNuoLugCIm_rAqiK7plaHw1YKEjXkBiGrLdHQ7Q2PQ3hxURcpGmEHtsC8yswE1rsIO0Ri8_kzgtut4rkPX4aY/s1600/DSCF5589.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpoGa8KGmV3C8nN8R5ihKh2-oF1YsnOzLccHzIli5p8g2DvA6RuVayWoNuoLugCIm_rAqiK7plaHw1YKEjXkBiGrLdHQ7Q2PQ3hxURcpGmEHtsC8yswE1rsIO0Ri8_kzgtut4rkPX4aY/s200/DSCF5589.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601917549050143730" /></a><br /><br />We did a little riding around while there. I was actually glad that we had the ATV's, because getting out to the geode beds where much easier on them than it would have been in the Pilot. Plenty of others had made there way out there with their vehicles, but the roads were very bumpy. We spent the night out there in the back of the Pilot. It was a cold night, but we stayed warm and Sadie and Brandie slept in the front seats. <br />The next morning the dogs did a lot of investigating and had a lot of fun just being able to run and enjoy themselves, while we had some cold cereal and got ourselves ready to head toward Topaz Mountain. The drive there didn't seem to take very long. I thought it would be a lot longer. Again we drove up and then got the 4 wheelers off the trailer and went looking for buried treasure. We had done some looking online for topaz at Topaz Mountain and we had hopes of finding some fairly good size topaz crystals. Not as easy as it looked. Maybe online they were just showing large pieces of it. The whole mountain is made of Rhyolite and you can see the topaz crystals all over in it. I chipped of quite a few pieces and you can see the topaz sparkling all over in it. Like I said if we had a little more knowledge maybe we would have found the mother lode.. lol<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQjNHf-9rYEwPvMRLMiPSTJ9rDszxfi1A4KilnZib2doSPH1RNEdDpsDXHBcAkz_wY2UWklRZNq1c9Qn3jiRrI0VY484jYNBhj_aS0_fq4BgYhA791XdeHUh0j2_S_EFsuvjYMnHeW6vk/s1600/DSCF5596.JPG"><img style="float:right;

The web had said that was a good place...well...I was following Larry and I stopped to take a picture of what I thought was a very picturesque view. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguVlAAN2vJ7EhAuiNxP5fx7a1C5ON_JAgeNRPDpiCyaqTnctmRifJd7pqrFiTsXQ5CmJmey9zZ0Ub-0GvgtpBvDSgx1wNjc8yVfk6Ljh9VoHtVyQ_uFqG1a0Ywa1XFwTbHdaAkTyTi9Ks/s1600/DSCF5606.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguVlAAN2vJ7EhAuiNxP5fx7a1C5ON_JAgeNRPDpiCyaqTnctmRifJd7pqrFiTsXQ5CmJmey9zZ0Ub-0GvgtpBvDSgx1wNjc8yVfk6Ljh9VoHtVyQ_uFqG1a0Ywa1XFwTbHdaAkTyTi9Ks/s200/DSCF5606.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601927022530765842" /></a><br /><strong>The picturesque view I was taking</strong>. <br />(picture doesn't do it justice)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />When I finished I saw Larry up a head going around a corner. I started on and pretty soon I couldn't see him. He usually stops when he doesn't see me behind him and makes sure that I've caught up to him, but I kept on the main road and still couldn't see him. The farther the went the more worried I got that I was on the wrong road and that Larry had turned off on another side road. (another thing I know he usually never does without waiting to make sure I see him turn) So anyway...I turned around and went back to the spot that I had last saw him, thinking that if he had turned off and then noticed me missing he too would also return to that spot, but NO he wasn't there. So I turned around again and started back on the path but then decided that I would go to a high spot and just wait. I thought this would be horrible, because we were out in the middle of the desert and I thought we both would find the car, but he had to come back to where I was in order to find his way back to the car. Soon here he came and of course I got on to him for not waiting for me and where had he been. (I was a bit scared if you couldn't tell.) To get the heat off of him he showed me some much bigger crystals that he had found where he had gone, so I told him that I wanted to go to where he had been. (Which by the way was the way that I was going in the 1st place.) We ended up finding more crystals..none of them large, but bigger than we had been finding.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bUn1HHCU1KGUElivGOoC0F6lD9tWudyYBJJvyNLvsdIB-g4KWaLJ1CphfZzV2m5Jiqhmf5M_HByXEkYDyU1AqweMbQsjwO8OmNuZqRCAaeSo_hb966cIqNFzlkaR7TASiAHB5Ncpt5Y/s1600/DSCF5603.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bUn1HHCU1KGUElivGOoC0F6lD9tWudyYBJJvyNLvsdIB-g4KWaLJ1CphfZzV2m5Jiqhmf5M_HByXEkYDyU1AqweMbQsjwO8OmNuZqRCAaeSo_hb966cIqNFzlkaR7TASiAHB5Ncpt5Y/s200/DSCF5603.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601926051908670306" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPQI2IfpcAnb7-os0JvaKpd6snImJOp0pVwSvpzuBduZ9BaggtCeTKxhW8SXdz9PnnCc9ncuZmRXvcIgz0lLt4iwMIsGbTc0g2CN4uqW10KHaaJff6e8NfMFgBsUthiIyZ-hah6zjqMgs/s1600/DSCF5621.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPQI2IfpcAnb7-os0JvaKpd6snImJOp0pVwSvpzuBduZ9BaggtCeTKxhW8SXdz9PnnCc9ncuZmRXvcIgz0lLt4iwMIsGbTc0g2CN4uqW10KHaaJff6e8NfMFgBsUthiIyZ-hah6zjqMgs/s200/DSCF5621.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601926049720511202" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So about 4:00 in the afternoon, we decided to head out for Little Sahara. We had talked about going to Delta and looking for Trilobites, a ancient sea fossil, but didn't think we had time. I had also talked about going to see the site of the Topaz Japanese internment camp that they had during WW 2. We noticed there was a paved road just passed the dirt road so we decided that would be a welcome rest from all the bumps. Not more than 3 mintues being on the road, smoke started to appear in our rear view mirror and all of the sudden "POP" went the driver's side tire on the trailer. After much checking Larry realized the spring on the trailer had broken, which made it sit down on the tire and the tire had stopped turning as we had drug it along. Therefore the "POP". So there we sat!! Well after tearing the car apart to get the jack and all, Larry said that maybe if we found a rock we could keep the spring up off the tire enough to limp into Delta. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of that...but I was too busy finding rocks and helping Larry with the tire. We had called Chris to tell them we were coming but would be late. He did some checking and found an ATV and trailer place in Delta and had called them. They thought they had the spring. So we headed there. After getting there they didn't have the right spring. Someone was going to Salina in the morning and thought they could get it at their trailer place there. So we left it and went on to Little Sahara. By the time we got there you could see the rain storm coming across the dunes. So it was a raining night. The next day was beautiful and Larry used Shans bike and went out on the dunes with Chris and Jennsen. We thought by noon we would have our trailer fixed and make the 30 minutes drive back down and then we could go riding all together, NO it was not to be. They had gotten the springs, but the U bolts on the trailer were not found, because our trailer is a bit on the old side. So the trailer and the bikes are still down in Delta. They were suppose to be fixed, but still not fixed, maybe next week. I guess that was okay, because by about 2:00 or 3:00 a horrible sand storm came through. It blew all kinds of things around and Chris went out of the trailer and was sand pitted to retrieve all kinds of things. We stayed inside and played games the rest of the night. The next day Larry and I went for a little walk with the dogs and found a few of our things in the field across the street from the camp site. Poor Chris' and Shan's trailer had sand in all the little crevices. Thanks Shan and Chris for letting us stay inside the trailer with you. I wonder if we shouldn't have gone to the cabin, because even with bad weather, the worst it would have been was just more snow.. LOL.<br /><br />Anyway, I too got to go out on Shan's bike with Chris and learn how to ride the dunes. A very different feel on the sand than I was use to in the mountains. I did start to feel comfortable though and Chris even got me to "ride the bowl". Of course Larry didn't have his camera out for that. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jg-Z9g1OCvgCbnuZXEBISeD6h1JJAX-4PWTmPbldTZBmWG2JrNG313x5DgoaHQqYEUwA6ImHzC_y3XiVB8LQ64l0rcbBQs3Aoe4UKU3LLmqGvCK-rAnFdSsm3z3H5ltKmtb3Ey7K6Uo/s1600/DSCF5613.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jg-Z9g1OCvgCbnuZXEBISeD6h1JJAX-4PWTmPbldTZBmWG2JrNG313x5DgoaHQqYEUwA6ImHzC_y3XiVB8LQ64l0rcbBQs3Aoe4UKU3LLmqGvCK-rAnFdSsm3z3H5ltKmtb3Ey7K6Uo/s200/DSCF5613.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601930991495456402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJSUg-P4mH8jVP2bq60uxaLhtg4-clo4XdiFrTxzZ8yNXtfeY_BMYgf_Qn624WvKbT6F_alqDbPDomQh_bAmtMIQRuDbxJgJPLPjH6CBfKTZhkCPZAwdGQhFsvsod1X2azSUkxUmmiVU/s1600/DSCF5611.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJSUg-P4mH8jVP2bq60uxaLhtg4-clo4XdiFrTxzZ8yNXtfeY_BMYgf_Qn624WvKbT6F_alqDbPDomQh_bAmtMIQRuDbxJgJPLPjH6CBfKTZhkCPZAwdGQhFsvsod1X2azSUkxUmmiVU/s200/DSCF5611.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601930981096900290" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSINah8OolHaKomTaQUwgz4lgAU8pSNv7NlsxzngjYmOp1BXLa6sIbpVPkH3OZJsnxm7PgqdMPSXGu-1DmcIB59aRyUMF0IKkP5_vtAkeWRFDbKddRZUCyXysha39P1EBjcAHn4CYhTk/s1600/DSCF5612.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSINah8OolHaKomTaQUwgz4lgAU8pSNv7NlsxzngjYmOp1BXLa6sIbpVPkH3OZJsnxm7PgqdMPSXGu-1DmcIB59aRyUMF0IKkP5_vtAkeWRFDbKddRZUCyXysha39P1EBjcAHn4CYhTk/s200/DSCF5612.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601930979876041122" /></a><br /><br /><br />Even with all our troubles, we had a very fun week.

I know everyone who reads this is going to say...so boring, this is OLD news girl. Oh well.. I do want it in my book if I ever have it bound into a book. Clear back in February, my nephew, whom I taught in 2nd grade, returned from his mission in Tijuano, Mexico. I took off a half day of school so that I could spend some time with Georgia and family and so that I wouldn't be running to get there on time. So I called the Millett clan to see where they were when I took off from work about noon. They said that they were just finishing lunch and would I like to meet them at the cemetary. They were going to the cemetary to put some flowers on Cassy and Reed's baby that had been born a year before and had died. It was kinda nice that Garrett was coming home at the same time so that the family could be together for all of it. So I met them up there and spent the rest of the evening with them.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXr-QcVCM_9oj6r68867-KnwrGYEpaEfBlosRUbr06AwDV31GDySE3i366cu0WbFhIehry0ZqsS57yYbcO8QXnWelqmzbiaK_vc4rH0T6Wtlr9alOhEMKUBfraPCzSoJ1A1O91cYiAb0/s1600/1297803232936.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXr-QcVCM_9oj6r68867-KnwrGYEpaEfBlosRUbr06AwDV31GDySE3i366cu0WbFhIehry0ZqsS57yYbcO8QXnWelqmzbiaK_vc4rH0T6Wtlr9alOhEMKUBfraPCzSoJ1A1O91cYiAb0/s320/1297803232936.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596707803473581282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir15VgZk1-uT5mlAA3wS8iMKr_uou6z0QOeDf8DHYatLVuWgksuvvIiu9ThBSWpPRJtG02KyGIkYDjB51yZcRALWSJui29tNBhk_0Qy288Xe7MBJddFr0lwfD7-njUV7ZQJ9z7EwE53Y0/s1600/1297803419904.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir15VgZk1-uT5mlAA3wS8iMKr_uou6z0QOeDf8DHYatLVuWgksuvvIiu9ThBSWpPRJtG02KyGIkYDjB51yZcRALWSJui29tNBhk_0Qy288Xe7MBJddFr0lwfD7-njUV7ZQJ9z7EwE53Y0/s320/1297803419904.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596707805113898018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5fRaJace5gjttMZa0_lR6WLK0APMAjtikyqvfX57RcyKZ0ZFXDa0va6iqMrNqqJtk-FsifCepFz_Gv-6QSmkGwMPyvxXb4IXLZ-qxG3f5t4deIfRjH41KpNrZ4KLaxs8Mm9sAE267Zg/s1600/1297803519832.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5fRaJace5gjttMZa0_lR6WLK0APMAjtikyqvfX57RcyKZ0ZFXDa0va6iqMrNqqJtk-FsifCepFz_Gv-6QSmkGwMPyvxXb4IXLZ-qxG3f5t4deIfRjH41KpNrZ4KLaxs8Mm9sAE267Zg/s320/1297803519832.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596707800394099074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5RsknfsRiC6j4vdGYewF8aDyHLPWBHnwSoCzCtk-w2Sy7PUlwdzv0udFGlkPYldkZ6XE5dRn5L22yE7HqfHUXHaVBFm4F9uqbiAVor1WK8-i7bEYSYdqZspUKB8JqI8UvKtir0Jvk5q8/s1600/1297803595658.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5RsknfsRiC6j4vdGYewF8aDyHLPWBHnwSoCzCtk-w2Sy7PUlwdzv0udFGlkPYldkZ6XE5dRn5L22yE7HqfHUXHaVBFm4F9uqbiAVor1WK8-i7bEYSYdqZspUKB8JqI8UvKtir0Jvk5q8/s320/1297803595658.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596707799810435234" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> I was glad I had taken the day off, because Garrett's plane actually landed a little early. It was fun to see everyone waiting for him and to see him finally come down the escalator. He looked good. I especially loved seing him hug his little brother. I knew that Jordan needed a brother to be with him. It's been hard on him since losing his big brother, Dustin. Larry met us for dinner and we enjoyed our time with the Millett family. We also went out for Garrett's homecoming in Vernal, on President's weekend. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilBTO5QzALBvvWqobGsyc15Me_Mdj6d1t3EgoOplHpAUv5mF8JSAyqHdBYLueNcwiH294uKGGc3BOxlxTgd6d_wyim2sl3N5xlQbV5MdXSQARTa69ByD2usjFRf4DlJGJptvRtSZBZzlc/s1600/1297809308894.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilBTO5QzALBvvWqobGsyc15Me_Mdj6d1t3EgoOplHpAUv5mF8JSAyqHdBYLueNcwiH294uKGGc3BOxlxTgd6d_wyim2sl3N5xlQbV5MdXSQARTa69ByD2usjFRf4DlJGJptvRtSZBZzlc/s320/1297809308894.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596708372632475794" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeWTwTzWFwHkZI03yGracuOr71rbc3FU-fQkVZFO2hH_f2i8XLt-nBOjwR5fdtPL0Dqp0Il4NN-CST3DckhyKrQfd8mJoVRJT7ZNhDw09MsiAtlsKOhlDwyaag7_xanLwq1rTgu7PK4U/s1600/1297810379841.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeWTwTzWFwHkZI03yGracuOr71rbc3FU-fQkVZFO2hH_f2i8XLt-nBOjwR5fdtPL0Dqp0Il4NN-CST3DckhyKrQfd8mJoVRJT7ZNhDw09MsiAtlsKOhlDwyaag7_xanLwq1rTgu7PK4U/s320/1297810379841.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596708373323210130" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZkZOgVxDcy5I2FYuMm-Mh0V43teeQnCak76peWzCZHMpvMi3mlsCXEUdMbp2USSJsGogp8X2pyNUZi3agfUqySmUEXnf3UQangLr68p2G1evQ1rjp-W6pK1ploFkmpXn4c_DUGX5bLs/s1600/1297810484415.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZkZOgVxDcy5I2FYuMm-Mh0V43teeQnCak76peWzCZHMpvMi3mlsCXEUdMbp2USSJsGogp8X2pyNUZi3agfUqySmUEXnf3UQangLr68p2G1evQ1rjp-W6pK1ploFkmpXn4c_DUGX5bLs/s320/1297810484415.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596708365324138322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinJxb5f3ZbZ7R62AnOckIQh4dywDjD4UiGblZ-ucGGqxz7GWX60XI9X5xq1semUPXLU5XTk5WYmbFpOeDn5pIewDTnTbeCGa_So-ZlswXFmEcJNBDTr_yDOtXspyu8bK1vpPUTKU-DPBI/s1600/1297810623979.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinJxb5f3ZbZ7R62AnOckIQh4dywDjD4UiGblZ-ucGGqxz7GWX60XI9X5xq1semUPXLU5XTk5WYmbFpOeDn5pIewDTnTbeCGa_So-ZlswXFmEcJNBDTr_yDOtXspyu8bK1vpPUTKU-DPBI/s320/1297810623979.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596708362074689218" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjzTGM_9gyVvyGH5vthnKeZa55owdcKlwCiS2WpZv5IZ1MFeCfxGzOB_iBGx_aegRAC0M-Utmqgk7eh-I8D-uTjc-rhGgJksPNBswxAca4HUgSCsdvYm7CQmcSZwVimtpgIFXzBWa_GA/s1600/DSCF5536.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjzTGM_9gyVvyGH5vthnKeZa55owdcKlwCiS2WpZv5IZ1MFeCfxGzOB_iBGx_aegRAC0M-Utmqgk7eh-I8D-uTjc-rhGgJksPNBswxAca4HUgSCsdvYm7CQmcSZwVimtpgIFXzBWa_GA/s320/DSCF5536.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596719024465158450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPfnLvXEl_AoONnjaN27Jf93EThzmgvru2BgVmUGIQpEiDMLRIAqupLCHAODHkbVW26nU4H800_z-NNfSkahXVLLiMuGtNYzRpXz9lD-gsXH8ZI6DW8uhXTHmWB5MPDMZnSXCn3wQyzk/s1600/DSCF5537.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPfnLvXEl_AoONnjaN27Jf93EThzmgvru2BgVmUGIQpEiDMLRIAqupLCHAODHkbVW26nU4H800_z-NNfSkahXVLLiMuGtNYzRpXz9lD-gsXH8ZI6DW8uhXTHmWB5MPDMZnSXCn3wQyzk/s320/DSCF5537.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596719017307979026" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Soon after that Cassy invited us to come and see her little Abagail put on the pre-show for a Jazz game. We had a lot going that week with a play and also a symphony to attend, but we said sure. Then we found out that Richard, Georgia, and the boys were also coming out. That was a bonus too. Our seats were way up there, but we did get to sit down low at least to see the pre-show. While we were waiting for the preshow we got to see the Jazz players warming up so I got quite a few good pics with my camera. However.. I realized that I was so involved in watching Abby that I never got my phone back out to take any pictures of her. Sorry Abby....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbjPjwFJ1T4hFjPmMrSN3MtL_VP32Xtyc5KB94uKD4Nz6V1lbo8vAe3XSHyme1EpoAtRefbP_uwJQ9KOIsXYf7wIlx3YsxyinX435-TUB3qP4YUEi-9UTS5GfVkrvkh6TSHopVw8LoWI/s1600/1301010303880.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbjPjwFJ1T4hFjPmMrSN3MtL_VP32Xtyc5KB94uKD4Nz6V1lbo8vAe3XSHyme1EpoAtRefbP_uwJQ9KOIsXYf7wIlx3YsxyinX435-TUB3qP4YUEi-9UTS5GfVkrvkh6TSHopVw8LoWI/s320/1301010303880.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596710431352935890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Wi8PywnQnxVDQyKh-FbAVZtH2BxoYmO4qDzfHXwxaiRCJUfh_0lHjBQj3CZkOATyon-sNNfyncr0qBrsBZc3h_nLsg3Lhm2EV65PBVayr84Cp5QxmwyOd7jMswd35skjAzB2UDKsLYA/s1600/1301010345336.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Wi8PywnQnxVDQyKh-FbAVZtH2BxoYmO4qDzfHXwxaiRCJUfh_0lHjBQj3CZkOATyon-sNNfyncr0qBrsBZc3h_nLsg3Lhm2EV65PBVayr84Cp5QxmwyOd7jMswd35skjAzB2UDKsLYA/s320/1301010345336.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596710432846304034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAldZkeHa_Z63agcvLTTFBGB767GmN4M3B40eqD3mKPHy5DhoBKBTDUXW568-4hJ869Sx6aloJBiRTe0ZK5sno2onGFP7jTe9EoVikjtf3oKayLojabkH9_DONOmMukP1unmWLk2M43GQ/s1600/1301020735006.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAldZkeHa_Z63agcvLTTFBGB767GmN4M3B40eqD3mKPHy5DhoBKBTDUXW568-4hJ869Sx6aloJBiRTe0ZK5sno2onGFP7jTe9EoVikjtf3oKayLojabkH9_DONOmMukP1unmWLk2M43GQ/s320/1301020735006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596710428607627170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZIUMTq1qNYwdEceqmggPaGiBk-BDz2PK3OlPmu0lY0tJP8yQwjG1_ZhgJndLY8B3b2A1fMX-DVd6Ix5fVy2kbgZ23ahOBaeFdEuKlQgOzTO-hnND5yMWm8gIgIhrCvSNveabmrRNU4tQ/s1600/1301020768192.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZIUMTq1qNYwdEceqmggPaGiBk-BDz2PK3OlPmu0lY0tJP8yQwjG1_ZhgJndLY8B3b2A1fMX-DVd6Ix5fVy2kbgZ23ahOBaeFdEuKlQgOzTO-hnND5yMWm8gIgIhrCvSNveabmrRNU4tQ/s320/1301020768192.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596710427147614690" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iYcYhA4iaRpsqHLd_tfmT4dLT3LbicfuVyPczbKgo1-DSSwgNMHEv9Xvs9lrepV1qPoKzQC84e7g_N7rEPGNYRXmK44yvLFjzIsnUmcmwbMv37c3OLOPm3RGPY02FgUseyCuzrU8NAU/s1600/1301021045405.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iYcYhA4iaRpsqHLd_tfmT4dLT3LbicfuVyPczbKgo1-DSSwgNMHEv9Xvs9lrepV1qPoKzQC84e7g_N7rEPGNYRXmK44yvLFjzIsnUmcmwbMv37c3OLOPm3RGPY02FgUseyCuzrU8NAU/s320/1301021045405.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596710425978872386" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We also enjoyed our play "Diary of Anne Frank" and the symphony that week also.

It seems as though I've been way busy and haven't had time, yet I'm not really sure what I have to show for not keeping up with this. I'll have to do better. I have quite a few things that I have been going to put on here and haven't. I haven't even put my pictures on and said anything about Garrett coming home. Talked about the Jazz game or anything else. I was going to do it today and my internet is going so slow today for some reason that I can't see myself being patient enough to get pictures downloaded or anything today. Maybe I'll just start a draft of my next blog and then at least it will be started. I just thought I'd speak a small paragraph today to let everyone know that I still am alive and kicking. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-6539259784579568422011-01-31T18:50:00.003-07:002011-01-31T19:04:00.894-07:00Heavenly Father's CreationsI just have to blog about this even though I don't have pictures. Shannon, Chris, and Jennsen wanted to go up to the cabin this last weekend, and I know I write about it a lot. Oh how I wish my camera could have taken a picture Friday night when we got out of the vehicle in the parking area to get out our snowmobiles. It was about 9:00 PM,I guess, and the moon was not out,.... and the stars were....just breathtaking. It seemed that you could see all of the stars that could have been possibly out there. I can't even describe how awed I was of what is out there in our universe and beyond. I couldn't look at it and not think about the immense creations of our Father in Heaven. It was awesome!!! Saturday was beautiful up there also. It was sunny and the temp got up to 50 degrees. The snow was crusted on top and with the sun shining on it it looked like a field of sparkling diamonds. It was a beautiful weekend. I'm so thankful for my Heavenly Father and all that he has created for us to enjoy. I just had to share my love of being out and seeing the beautiful world.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-29880570956840055772011-01-17T08:26:00.002-07:002011-01-17T08:33:20.951-07:00Don't Forget to ReadHey.... I just realized that my latest post says I did it a week ago. That's because that's when I started it.. LOL It just took me a week to get all of it written and the pictures downloaded to my post. Seems that I am way slow with Christmas this year. I finally got my Christmas post finished and this past weekend, I finally got Christmas down in my house. I guess since I didn't get to enjoy my decorations at home for very long, we just enjoyed them a little longer this year. Actually I didn't have time to take them down after we got home from the cabin and then the next weekend we went up to Cassy and Reed's for Isaac's baptism. I've been too tired after school to take things down and it has been way to cold outside to take the outside stuff down. However, finally it is all down!! TA DA!!! As much as I love putting Christmas up, it is also so nice to get down. The house seems so fresh and empty and just right for a fresh start to the year. Happy New Year all!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-20777557998729720772011-01-09T15:59:00.016-07:002011-01-16T17:21:00.577-07:00Another Walker Cabin Christmas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5B0RQ7jMJzOEwf6yr59lT7uEMHyeGLnMRYyLSCpb5DA2WI3C-rgonRZhmUOpKRMl2AgL3LXcwip_-zvtVH8Mfy0j8LynLUcZhv5mcjHJ_1SeC4Q1LrZ0Y3pDKDrBkkYhSe1YPYLILlA/s1600/DSCF5432.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5B0RQ7jMJzOEwf6yr59lT7uEMHyeGLnMRYyLSCpb5DA2WI3C-rgonRZhmUOpKRMl2AgL3LXcwip_-zvtVH8Mfy0j8LynLUcZhv5mcjHJ_1SeC4Q1LrZ0Y3pDKDrBkkYhSe1YPYLILlA/s320/DSCF5432.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560356690148032802" /></a>This year I was out of school as of the 17th and Larry and I had planned to use the entire vacation and just go up and relax at the cabin. However,Larry's work had different ideas. They informed Larry that he wasn't going to be able to have all that vacation after all. He has a pump that is due to be out at the end of January and there was enough problems with it that they needed everyone to work all that they could to get the job done. So we weren't able to leave for the cabin until the 23rd of Dec. and then Larry was going to have to come back down to work on Dec. 28th-30th. It did give me a little more time to finish up a few last minute things and finish getting packed up. So anyway, the morning of the 23rd we packed up the pilot with all the things that we needed, and that didn't leave much room left for the dogs. So we were off and going and as you can see in the pictures Sadie found her a spot on top of the bags, since Brandie was taking up what room that there was.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiatTT2lK2gKE8q6E8T2vnyG1297TZbtY1A3KaARQr37Ib3fE2rpCsxpK9Qpg0fUwerls1cvZFKFd07TyPMGNksmecgLSdJSlCoGZf0GBragUGAuJhHqHkllJ0nVkXm08-VkfDmfUDVnfw/s1600/DSCF5430.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiatTT2lK2gKE8q6E8T2vnyG1297TZbtY1A3KaARQr37Ib3fE2rpCsxpK9Qpg0fUwerls1cvZFKFd07TyPMGNksmecgLSdJSlCoGZf0GBragUGAuJhHqHkllJ0nVkXm08-VkfDmfUDVnfw/s320/DSCF5430.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560356699205282098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3gzbTg_6vkNcW50Gx2DV0m-8mH4mlWf-DSTq1hBhnHY6Kn76Xsm7zr7GzBpO5r6j2RzaX7av5rgeg2UcPFVH8YXQmMaETKUAJvWBjceUO0-oRZKqGWAQRjNR7o06qml7oX90yojYqTg/s1600/DSCF5427.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3gzbTg_6vkNcW50Gx2DV0m-8mH4mlWf-DSTq1hBhnHY6Kn76Xsm7zr7GzBpO5r6j2RzaX7av5rgeg2UcPFVH8YXQmMaETKUAJvWBjceUO0-oRZKqGWAQRjNR7o06qml7oX90yojYqTg/s320/DSCF5427.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560356694479422418" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Once we got there we got our snowmobiles out along with our sled and got about half of our things onto the sled. There was a lot of snow up there, but the roads were well groomed and we easily made our way up to the cabin. We could both see the snow was quite deep, so I waited out on the road with the sled while Larry went in with his machine to try and make a path for us to get everything pulled in without getting stuck...well....that didn't go over so well. The wet snow on top allowed Larry's machine to sink down into the powder and it made for a rough go of it. To make a long story short Larry got stuck about 5 or 6 times. I couldn't really help him because I couldn't walk in to help nor take my machine. Because it was starting to get dark he finally left his machine and waded out and then we went and got another machine and finally ended up leaving my machine out on the road with the sled and just going in on the one machine. Good thing that the cabin is stocked with a few things so we had plenty that we could eat. <br />The next morning Larry went back out and got a path into the cabin and we finally got all our stuff in. There was about 4 feet out on the deck and plenty of snow that had slid off the roof in the stairway.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cW1PoQ5uhm7fkExo7wCwJN0H2uV-JRFmoQ_ZqrpZEIn7hpij0AqJdv6HhsfQpolylAIwGeSr9U-NRD-V2aVmVfOBRhbvoB0W135R61-xvfv-SZUk3BJ8yHoWffnPToPGx_MD5Uvd8Ys/s1600/DSCF5473.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cW1PoQ5uhm7fkExo7wCwJN0H2uV-JRFmoQ_ZqrpZEIn7hpij0AqJdv6HhsfQpolylAIwGeSr9U-NRD-V2aVmVfOBRhbvoB0W135R61-xvfv-SZUk3BJ8yHoWffnPToPGx_MD5Uvd8Ys/s320/DSCF5473.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560360151604734322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5gz7ziKMk5Pci9ct8hCwznV0ElQ05m56pNrKgvH8ZWft13kfa6_KMa7_cFULMPXkvkUOX65yTFMzI-m2pHJ6JrGTLWmmBkpB2cqGxjez12V7zG6QbXl-WXaiqUg1Lm3_4zdxQqlybB9w/s1600/DSCF5433.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5gz7ziKMk5Pci9ct8hCwznV0ElQ05m56pNrKgvH8ZWft13kfa6_KMa7_cFULMPXkvkUOX65yTFMzI-m2pHJ6JrGTLWmmBkpB2cqGxjez12V7zG6QbXl-WXaiqUg1Lm3_4zdxQqlybB9w/s320/DSCF5433.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560360147091856274" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />That afternoon Shannon, Chris and Jennsen arrived and we finished getting ready for our Christmas Eve. We had homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and enjoyed our evening together. We watched the little clip of the Nativity which brought the meaning of Christmas into perspective. Christmas morning came and without any small children we just enjoyed sleeping in so we didn't get started on the presents until about 9:30 or so. Shannon is big into taking pictures of the dogs since her little girl is 16 and not to much into posing for her mom anymore. Anyway so we put some packages up and enjoyed having some fun with the dogs in front of the packages. Trying to get them to stay there was quite the challenge...but as you can see we got Larry to pose fairly well.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRm_KWKk9sWNpMHZw2aZ65gJJsFu99zpOf9OZ0hm99ByBvRzdGEwfrGyubnBkUmyjTlAbikuS9jRVebx_2z_rgBuNABvv1rgyVhPpEpuLWsPwXewwhxSHxdrAQPJJRFD32cE_Nm6ce9gQ/s1600/DSCF5441.JPG"><img style="float:left;

Larry went down to work Tuesday morning just from the cabin. Since I had gotten him some work clothes for Christmas he didn't have to go home Monday night. Chris just got up early and took him down to the car so he didn't have to put away a machine or anything. It worked out great for him. One bad part about the time we spent up there was that Wednesday evening the power kept flipping on and off and then about 11:00 (good thing we were headed off to bed anyway) the power stayed off and was off until about 6:00 Thursday morning. The worst of it is that the power being off allowed our on demand water heater to freeze and when the power came on it wasn't good. We turned off the water and called Larry, who was luckily coming back up around noon that day. It was truly a blessing that it happened just like that. Larry was able to bring up some things that were needed to fix it with Chris' help. It isn't totally fixed but we did have hot water for the remainder time that we were there. I'm sure that Larry will figure out exactly what is up with it and will get it fixed.<br />We had a great time on New Year's Eve also. We had our other grand daughter Kylee over with us. Devin and Charity were staying in a cabin belonging to their mother's parents nearby. Every year those that are up at their cabins come down to the caretaker's cabin at the sheds and have a potluck luncheon. Everyone brings something to go with the meal and the assotiation BBQ's chicken, burgers, and hotdogs. It's fun to get to know neighbors and people that are there and they also have a little raffle to raise a little money for the association.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1CSIpl9nhlxAzObFCYzpvn5c7SrHnwhWvIcpCdJOSs9m0KAtnnlGe1EQbFgqxhur2JrsBHeL1ncsj7g-kJpeTo08UQKwAMijAucptCfUz5Qf28Jy3kLUhLsoYjmc3xMav7mkGAgDpkk/s1600/DSCF5490.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1CSIpl9nhlxAzObFCYzpvn5c7SrHnwhWvIcpCdJOSs9m0KAtnnlGe1EQbFgqxhur2JrsBHeL1ncsj7g-kJpeTo08UQKwAMijAucptCfUz5Qf28Jy3kLUhLsoYjmc3xMav7mkGAgDpkk/s200/DSCF5490.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562577201096801378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfEU_kWc7uEPcdqDrqb1yBdAybgcOTjYA9b6TBjl9XVxtLFbIbzpWdfsU4Gf3Dhy3TjGOuVuGv55ebjM9L1eU4vKb44_cbHKA6BmGL0fY3w-8Cxy27W49ryM-LBQK9KOReH1_VIsars7I/s1600/DSCF5488.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfEU_kWc7uEPcdqDrqb1yBdAybgcOTjYA9b6TBjl9XVxtLFbIbzpWdfsU4Gf3Dhy3TjGOuVuGv55ebjM9L1eU4vKb44_cbHKA6BmGL0fY3w-8Cxy27W49ryM-LBQK9KOReH1_VIsars7I/s200/DSCF5488.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562577197105657554" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7YAYzfQIB6XG0WpqJ-VpMgjIrtS1a7NwgXe9vRjApr9HkDFEwBnLVa4dEK2t_XTtJwaaXFo7sQGDyaj0KgIy4OuKInVjj_lrPHULf83fC6Hasp1wcW9qcspEC1TmQECxV9MPnRSIyKlM/s1600/DSCF5487.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7YAYzfQIB6XG0WpqJ-VpMgjIrtS1a7NwgXe9vRjApr9HkDFEwBnLVa4dEK2t_XTtJwaaXFo7sQGDyaj0KgIy4OuKInVjj_lrPHULf83fC6Hasp1wcW9qcspEC1TmQECxV9MPnRSIyKlM/s200/DSCF5487.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562577187811520562" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDf-kvGUBGZ5pIAm3XSj0OYgdiVKKtDcQboolv9UmCDlu9ILaFL4VCukp1k7SGupdCSAQMXBeVKT08slm7Z7vGhpJHQC19RnwlnpSthhVtKF2UgtFhCuuPhEshEOzw0boAEjDyFwSpfIE/s1600/DSCF5486.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDf-kvGUBGZ5pIAm3XSj0OYgdiVKKtDcQboolv9UmCDlu9ILaFL4VCukp1k7SGupdCSAQMXBeVKT08slm7Z7vGhpJHQC19RnwlnpSthhVtKF2UgtFhCuuPhEshEOzw0boAEjDyFwSpfIE/s200/DSCF5486.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562576522663068994" /></a><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We also went down to the bonfire again this year, but I've taken so many pictures of that in years past that I thought they were starting to look like the same year. Although I kinda wished that I had taken it because this year with all the snow on top it was interesting to see how it burned so differently. However, may I say that it was so cold that on the way back to the cabin it had to have been the coldest ride I've ever taken. I don't think I could feel my fingers under my gloves. That night we also had to dress the poor dogs up for the New Year and enjoyed a little Martinellis to bring in the new year. Of course we also were working on puzzles and played some games. Low key but lots of fun<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEY1G7Dsy7Mg34lXvumqEReSZWCikjk038nmYcVqQEz8QDhLCTbqpn4W8vcWzKVyf7ddmMvyPFSG0rDv-1tryzhVxMpZyTWfpmYvookG1OCupHGAMCrQLMGPr59bIZhcSTpuYgF_MHIBo/s1600/DSCF5477.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEY1G7Dsy7Mg34lXvumqEReSZWCikjk038nmYcVqQEz8QDhLCTbqpn4W8vcWzKVyf7ddmMvyPFSG0rDv-1tryzhVxMpZyTWfpmYvookG1OCupHGAMCrQLMGPr59bIZhcSTpuYgF_MHIBo/s200/DSCF5477.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562576521814998322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWL7JUF87-XURha_gpjrQ_30chyNGWgAMO5NP2wbONN1UjDfraAvqcVhe8aZHQ0iM3Ee5Wky_nTV2a0lA_-QUSj_6JrNw3FmGsdadarycRDEcj3kpa9l3ER9Qa4KNlNtZlWQLQ-4yU1ko/s1600/DSCF5480.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWL7JUF87-XURha_gpjrQ_30chyNGWgAMO5NP2wbONN1UjDfraAvqcVhe8aZHQ0iM3Ee5Wky_nTV2a0lA_-QUSj_6JrNw3FmGsdadarycRDEcj3kpa9l3ER9Qa4KNlNtZlWQLQ-4yU1ko/s200/DSCF5480.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562576517550539922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVufGa_CyfQa6kiKoULHnY87XLiFfCf8VJHizVZmiskQ2EGs-l4UerA8HPDHVPR94frXtFygqT4awwu90ZN2hELQDnGY_SBldXA_Wjjj4vGvrcnBrmqbxbLQPMQVVuFMqd0TZK6YYfRxc/s1600/DSCF5504.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVufGa_CyfQa6kiKoULHnY87XLiFfCf8VJHizVZmiskQ2EGs-l4UerA8HPDHVPR94frXtFygqT4awwu90ZN2hELQDnGY_SBldXA_Wjjj4vGvrcnBrmqbxbLQPMQVVuFMqd0TZK6YYfRxc/s200/DSCF5504.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562575479870375986" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM9eLLiH7ytaqf7qpgUIvpo1hPZj93fK0Gw5PCx1mghDY6gUag9R-ubY2zUcFAW-mIE1_dqg-3Cn6zimIeqrLDAGL_TVqw9stZ8B6dFqWuhL0dtdAj8GSWm74nsoHPzB9GyG9fZuSB87Y/s1600/DSCF5497.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM9eLLiH7ytaqf7qpgUIvpo1hPZj93fK0Gw5PCx1mghDY6gUag9R-ubY2zUcFAW-mIE1_dqg-3Cn6zimIeqrLDAGL_TVqw9stZ8B6dFqWuhL0dtdAj8GSWm74nsoHPzB9GyG9fZuSB87Y/s200/DSCF5497.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562575476394525570" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-70563320637243168962010-12-21T10:28:00.003-07:002010-12-21T10:48:21.951-07:00Time for Relaxation, kinda..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7u_aOzNemie12a_VuE8uxg4OcucxqMdO18vI7QuJ6ILikSTXLWdWMwghoRa3nsl5Q3Np3d98Z3rOVGau1L5aV6LIJrYIOx8jKwUnQtLSVpXGzVkOYzaL5B8k7w7XsQOneo_zq_6n0dvc/s1600/dji_kidilly_snowlady_c.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7u_aOzNemie12a_VuE8uxg4OcucxqMdO18vI7QuJ6ILikSTXLWdWMwghoRa3nsl5Q3Np3d98Z3rOVGau1L5aV6LIJrYIOx8jKwUnQtLSVpXGzVkOYzaL5B8k7w7XsQOneo_zq_6n0dvc/s320/dji_kidilly_snowlady_c.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553192786152490546" /></a><br />Yeah... I was out of school last Friday. The kids were so wired, but I tried to keep them fairly on track and they tried their best. I guess I'll see if they remember anything I taught them when they come back on Jan. 3rd. For now I'm glad that their parents are handling them for the remainder of the holiday season, and it time for a little relaxation, kinda.. :)<br />We were going to head to the cabin on Monday of this week, but Larry's work decided that they needed him to stay and get this pump he's working on out in a timely matter. So now it could be Wed. or Thurs., it's a day to day wait. I've been busy trying to get all of Christmas finished up and get the laundry, food shopping and cleaning the house so it will be good when I get back home. We'll be at the cabin for the whole time so I won't have time to do anything when I get back. I'll be glad to just get up there where I can really relax, because for now it's just plain work to get the menu together and get everything all packed up for that extended stay. Not only that but it has to be packed together so that it can make the trip on the sleigh behind the snowmobile. There isn't any of this just throwing it in and getting it up there. After we get up there it will be great fun.<br />Last night our friends Holly and Stuart Wilkins came out to Salt Lake, because they're headed out on a plane today to Hawaii. They decided since their kids were all going to the other side of the family that they weren't just going to stay home the two of them and stare at each other.. lol Anyway since they were in town we went in and had dinner with them and Stuart's sister and husband, and then went to the lights on temple square. Guess who didn't take their camera??? Well anyway it was a fairly nice evening with snow lightly falling. Not much snow on the ground with all the rain mixed with it over the past few days, but none the less beautiful. So it was great to see them and spend a little time with them. I'm sure they'll have fun in the sun. I told Holly we were kinda going to the opposite extremes. <br />Well, anyway, I've taken a small brief moment of my busy day to get this posted and then I'll have to post about Christmas when we get back. I'm really looking forward to the time of just enjoying the fire and the beautiful scenery from inside the warm cabin. Oh I'll also enjoy a few excursions out and about on the snowmobiles too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-12011643908440229772010-12-11T14:32:00.004-07:002010-12-11T14:58:24.379-07:00Dating my Sweeheart in December<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9YTEPw3sQp9uJBLfcXHVO-jcLaS8wwtarFiAFerYQmM7jX-aHWZcUKjJ15hbQ2u93X-tzGAbhvLwUF5qGqcYvD1vqLex-AjLWuDH_e8sO6snhtffXV1JWZRWrvbTq2hZgrduOM0zWLQ/s1600/DSCF5416.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9YTEPw3sQp9uJBLfcXHVO-jcLaS8wwtarFiAFerYQmM7jX-aHWZcUKjJ15hbQ2u93X-tzGAbhvLwUF5qGqcYvD1vqLex-AjLWuDH_e8sO6snhtffXV1JWZRWrvbTq2hZgrduOM0zWLQ/s320/DSCF5416.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549546893416520082" /></a><br />It's been a fun month so far. Larry and I have been to quite a few fun things the first part of this month so far. On December 3rd we went into the Utah Symphony at Abravanell Hall in Salt Lake City. Larry signed us up to go to about 4 over the next few months. The one we went to on the 3rd had a few different numbers. The first one we listened to was Beethoven's Leonore Overture No. 3, op. 72b. Then there was Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor with a guest celloist. It was beautiful and fun. The last one was a very fun one, not your usual classical number. It was by Charles Ives from Connecticut and he put in a lot of Americana hidden throughout the song. There were songs like Colmbia, the Gem of the Ocean and Turkey in the Straw and a few other patriotic songs also woven into it. A very enjoyable evening. Thanks Sweetheart for thinking of the symphony.<br />Then the very next Monday, December 6th we had tickets to see "White Christmas" up at Pioneer Theater. It was one of our season plays for this year. I was so excited to go up and see it because White Christmas is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies and I watch it every year. The play was great! They changed things up a bit on it and some of the details were a little different, but it was so enjoyable. They even added a few new songs to the play and also took some out. Some of the old songs were sung in a few different places also. Anyway.. we loved it!! It's been a good start to the Christmas season especially doing things with my Sweetheart!! Love you Babe!<br /> <a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-77623285900483589222010-12-11T13:56:00.006-07:002010-12-11T14:31:57.424-07:00Thanksgiving in Idaho<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxUj4pklJ46g2zupODmSaCvETE6y78wSN6CwnFwdXiYYd4r2geDe0FoMgBvZMIqPkFSbKu7vsocrF4rIXywuAacWbvsFaM1UH7Y9hLQi89g0SGntB4b25W3DmHAi4dKk7ufdDQgwdpL4/s1600/dji_kidilly_turkey_c.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxUj4pklJ46g2zupODmSaCvETE6y78wSN6CwnFwdXiYYd4r2geDe0FoMgBvZMIqPkFSbKu7vsocrF4rIXywuAacWbvsFaM1UH7Y9hLQi89g0SGntB4b25W3DmHAi4dKk7ufdDQgwdpL4/s200/dji_kidilly_turkey_c.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549540585708920898" /></a><br />Yup... I'm finally getting on here and writing about Thanksgiving. I've not had the chance since we got back. I had to work until Wednesday at 1:30, so we didn't really get a very early start. The weather was pretty bad on Tuesday and a lot of reports said you shouldn't travel on Wednesday, but it was pretty good anyway. So Larry met me at home about 2 and we headed on our way.(Two dogs in the back and all) Our kids were all going other places this year and Marla had invited us to come up quite awhile ago, so I didn't see any use of Larry and I just having a meal together and doing nothing. The roads were a little icy, so the going was a little slow. We also had to pull over for about 20 minutes to let Larry talk to someone at work on the phone. He's so needed there!! Then we stopped in Tremonton to have a quick burger. Once we got to the interchange of I84 and I86 at Rupert we sit in traffic for what must of been 30 minutes going about 5 mph. Finally after making it through we headed on our way again. As we passed Wendell I wished Mom and Dad a Happy Turkey day. It seemed to weird not to stop there. We finally made it to Mark and Marla's about 9:00. Not too bad considering. It was great to spend the time with the Hegerhorsts. Margie and Katie were there along with some of Emily's room mate and sister from BYU Idaho. They were from North Carolina and couldn't go home so Marla had asked them to come. We had a very delicious meal on Thanksgiving along with games and movies and fun!! It was very cold up there so Marla and I didn't go out much...thus no pictures. I should have taken a picture of us playing that one game where we had to wear a hat as the King, Queen... or the Scum. Oh yeah, I think that is what it was called "Scum". Mark and Larry spent a lot of time doing something around the farm or helping the girls fix something with their cars. They even drove into Mountain Home and took Margie's car in for something. Katie would take all the dogs on a run either on the 4 wheeler or her in the truck. So at least the two dogs got good exercise, even if I didn't. All in all it was a terrific holiday. We had planned on coming back on Sunday morning but decided to come back a day early... boy was I glad since it snowed and the road was even closed for awhile on Sunday. Thanks Hegerhorsts for being able to be with family on the holiday. We love you!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/216/2CBE136C77D5AE7F438D7FC6D9F50D29.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078995296419892977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154173437644392408.post-12034331894873069892010-11-14T14:21:00.018-07:002010-11-14T16:58:55.951-07:00BYU and My Sisters<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxIDIc0R2mbl-h76WjPGjCv7ttvxoQdqNsHgRiIj8sCTYzLZBk4MmsxlymQ_WmbcoiqSffEl8RF45N9Fuo8OaCQDf_HqQYTbG3BbHc42oXlPB8_VTn0Nh1dlc3eqx3ROakbpQKA7J-Ec/s1600/DSCF5409.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxIDIc0R2mbl-h76WjPGjCv7ttvxoQdqNsHgRiIj8sCTYzLZBk4MmsxlymQ_WmbcoiqSffEl8RF45N9Fuo8OaCQDf_HqQYTbG3BbHc42oXlPB8_VTn0Nh1dlc3eqx3ROakbpQKA7J-Ec/s320/DSCF5409.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539521694699518226" /></a><br />Early Fall, our cousin, Ron Bird, sent out and email wanting to know if anyone wanted tickets to a BYU Football game. He said he had 6 extra tickets. I emailed him back and asked how much they cost. That very evening he called and told us the cost and asked which game we wanted to see. Knowing how much Larry is TRUE BLUE, I asked him if he'd like to see a game and he said sure. Of course this was before we knew how badly their year would be going. Anyway we decided on the game against UNLV on November 6th. He asked if anyone else might want tickets I told him that Georgia and Richard might like to come out and I didn't know about the others. I emailed the rest of the more local sisters to ask them if they had gotten the same email from Ron and told them if they were interested that we were going to the UNLV game if they wanted to go the same time as us. Ron called back and said that Georgia and Richard were in and then I soon found out Roberta and Keith were in also. Bonnie and Randy wanted to come also, but I didn't know if Ron had any more tickets...there were only 6 that he offered. To make a long story short we all got tickets. Bonnie and Randy got their seats next to Ron and his wife Teri. Soon Roberta called and asked if Larry and I would like to come down Friday night on the 5th to spend the night since Georia and Richard would be in from Vernal to stay and Bonnie and Randy would be up from St. George to stay the night. Since Keith's birthday was Nov. 3rd and Georgia's was Nov. 9th, she said we could celebrate and have some fun together. We thought that was a great idea, plus we wouldn't have to drive down in all the traffic. <br />So Friday evening we all met at Roberta's in Orem. Roberta had fixed a delicious soup and we enjoyed a great evening together. We had planned to maybe play some games, but we spent the night mostly visiting and of course we didn't get to bed until early in the morning hours. We decided that we'd have breakfast not too early and then make some sandwiches that we would take with us and do a little tail gate before the game since we couldn't take any food in. Everyone had brought something to add to the meals which made it easy on Roberta. The game started at noon so we decided to head up about 10:30 and get a parking spot early and then we would have time to have our sandwiches etc. So we all piled into our Pilot and put Randy's handicap thing on our mirror so we could get a great parking place, however may I say even though it is 8 passenger, the 3 seats in the back really aren't meant for adults as my 3 sister can testify. I really wish I could have had a picture of that. However just so they know after we got home I found out how to work the seats so that there was more leg room back there. (sorry it wasn't sooner.) Anyway...after we got there it was a little early to eat so we went in and found our seats and got settled and then we went back out to the car for our little tail gate. I even have Larry yelling with the others saying "Go Cougars!!"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipeYMDeNwh8FWd0LuWef0_wA8Ct6JDCfmtadRDXVhL99PWYGNCycBaAgRzTlUWUS_Z59TZSkUH0diPT0ZWnNasJTrkO89HAicn104_Fss-riDB_lQeGGSglmbq29TXHnTsqdomDy7PAYA/s1600/DSCF5387.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipeYMDeNwh8FWd0LuWef0_wA8Ct6JDCfmtadRDXVhL99PWYGNCycBaAgRzTlUWUS_Z59TZSkUH0diPT0ZWnNasJTrkO89HAicn104_Fss-riDB_lQeGGSglmbq29TXHnTsqdomDy7PAYA/s200/DSCF5387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539551328481932242" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTljy-9mRDaP9A_cdtKyDoHLRsuNHf2ma-XsjLBOjDgcT9G9f16HzQAoak97V4a-jprsvCZT4g8AdCXRUWCFw7bBdkLCRY8deo5F1eTjptUsrGAUrE5ajEGQHmlxHBX3ljj6HRUaOjgLY/s1600/DSCF5386.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTljy-9mRDaP9A_cdtKyDoHLRsuNHf2ma-XsjLBOjDgcT9G9f16HzQAoak97V4a-jprsvCZT4g8AdCXRUWCFw7bBdkLCRY8deo5F1eTjptUsrGAUrE5ajEGQHmlxHBX3ljj6HRUaOjgLY/s200/DSCF5386.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539550535159808418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0vIqI8JUzsJH72O9KrY41Jc5gjyofcw_zfr4NvYF6AjMTYK4KFZDyis4NeAN7V7kxAECmU9dOcLqRA8LM8QnpH0iOGAEdQsLGsWQnYOlRyEgFBOavvPdqi8R-5efi3LMVg7TlX7kRYI/s1600/DSCF5388.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0vIqI8JUzsJH72O9KrY41Jc5gjyofcw_zfr4NvYF6AjMTYK4KFZDyis4NeAN7V7kxAECmU9dOcLqRA8LM8QnpH0iOGAEdQsLGsWQnYOlRyEgFBOavvPdqi8R-5efi3LMVg7TlX7kRYI/s200/DSCF5388.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539550531031449378" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1N2hs9K-UnNnQdOZsAn5SK1NR3uoruXycGyNkLkNe0TdPbpXc-fV-S8AIKYsuak94uIPvSepDe_dwOmx4LPdp6lnQkU1BwFuvRlCPZTQzP8jznT5YJXSRii-K6qFyMoMjscxXmyW_udw/s1600/DSCF5384.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1N2hs9K-UnNnQdOZsAn5SK1NR3uoruXycGyNkLkNe0TdPbpXc-fV-S8AIKYsuak94uIPvSepDe_dwOmx4LPdp6lnQkU1BwFuvRlCPZTQzP8jznT5YJXSRii-K6qFyMoMjscxXmyW_udw/s200/DSCF5384.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539549713130834770" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It was quite the game UNLV couldn't do anything right. We sang the fight song so much Larry almost knew the words. :) The game became a little dull actually, but being together was great. Bonnie and Randy were a little lonely, 'cause Ron and Teri were late, but they eventually got there too. I hope you can see Randy with the Red hat and purple shirt down there in the crowd picture with Bonnie sitting next to him. lol<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3iAjn3ZZEf6XmGJtO6WhighgGfQYYVoI9jA6k1QM9PIp0d5pAs8UvdmsFfs1gKpvDqDCz15nUkMBU_heKUpcryW73u39353RGrC2IAlaIAj8OdDPY05Za6fz2ksH3zMDA2nkUfbdTEXo/s1600/DSCF5396.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3iAjn3ZZEf6XmGJtO6WhighgGfQYYVoI9jA6k1QM9PIp0d5pAs8UvdmsFfs1gKpvDqDCz15nUkMBU_heKUpcryW73u39353RGrC2IAlaIAj8OdDPY05Za6fz2ksH3zMDA2nkUfbdTEXo/s200/DSCF5396.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539552599798797922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi39BqyNjPiEZaEit2LeW9X-yxA1UQRhsmaeIet2FocAlg4l837l3MKtyvHOLIXTHTblwYyh374_xm7FPSOKueyM0XV2DqHRFk0SV60_ZeAX312onnp3gVQgsNkbbuNRfto9Dq6i7tPihI/s1600/DSCF5392.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi39BqyNjPiEZaEit2LeW9X-yxA1UQRhsmaeIet2FocAlg4l837l3MKtyvHOLIXTHTblwYyh374_xm7FPSOKueyM0XV2DqHRFk0SV60_ZeAX312onnp3gVQgsNkbbuNRfto9Dq6i7tPihI/s200/DSCF5392.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539552597291167826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX4lol9gbYQsySLB1o90wOxkhcSI2fuVdcbGW1JiY9wkM9ST_0dti6NyNPQCO94rtQel2myla5d835-3avHKFmEA6FXQIAzFUQybxUKxceeTJl6fDFWNtEqcl71ZTnwBawgJqLuOECRIM/s1600/DSCF5394.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX4lol9gbYQsySLB1o90wOxkhcSI2fuVdcbGW1JiY9wkM9ST_0dti6NyNPQCO94rtQel2myla5d835-3avHKFmEA6FXQIAzFUQybxUKxceeTJl6fDFWNtEqcl71ZTnwBawgJqLuOECRIM/s200/DSCF5394.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539554115898488322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjnGjeYG2XKjcTd9mRoNYWDSn1qrsdxqC1QKFYU55OWfjAJvVk0ju15ssjLiB6X0F9rArCcaLAkRH6mvoYEWTDcVZ8ozaMbLVhF5VYnNXj6ozX5vEy3syAIQwpdLMHGAoRoOehC1i9tWk/s1600/DSCF5397.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjnGjeYG2XKjcTd9mRoNYWDSn1qrsdxqC1QKFYU55OWfjAJvVk0ju15ssjLiB6X0F9rArCcaLAkRH6mvoYEWTDcVZ8ozaMbLVhF5VYnNXj6ozX5vEy3syAIQwpdLMHGAoRoOehC1i9tWk/s200/DSCF5397.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539554113902940434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvrN0Mg7kfN4nuOT0qvtX_UId9bnsUR4BV6Y7gwk4meRo6CsEQJIAH1hvHh2l5lJO2YO-A4B9JhiZcisseY0cdVi7fQi7B6642B2w-2CU9Bmwi0Io9LCZkKGiRkX43FX3sfH0g2R6Fu4/s1600/DSCF5402.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvrN0Mg7kfN4nuOT0qvtX_UId9bnsUR4BV6Y7gwk4meRo6CsEQJIAH1hvHh2l5lJO2YO-A4B9JhiZcisseY0cdVi7fQi7B6642B2w-2CU9Bmwi0Io9LCZkKGiRkX43FX3sfH0g2R6Fu4/s200/DSCF5402.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539556000415022498" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUmdXoR_hhee289-smB9mXblDO_1js271xytyy3g0VYDK0kNtJMOiiuctmr22eTSfHSQJjhUV9tPUrXenQSnLky_Uqqt-9bf8DDrXw2_4GaqppXDEpQF8OTlZ1pHTVHmuWkFgT0kOO7DI/s1600/DSCF5401.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUmdXoR_hhee289-smB9mXblDO_1js271xytyy3g0VYDK0kNtJMOiiuctmr22eTSfHSQJjhUV9tPUrXenQSnLky_Uqqt-9bf8DDrXw2_4GaqppXDEpQF8OTlZ1pHTVHmuWkFgT0kOO7DI/s200/DSCF5401.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539555995399923810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFY-w_XhNc1LgExxTgXpVFXNjbfD7iDPug0ZnlUiFv4ztC4C44IZs8uuQm09dUUcVTrCjOwYgoypr5p0FqYi_pDpwzgQ_6gzEJgw41d_JVA3w44F70ZvCL6iWoIsfydXL_hQbLtuvQZ0g/s1600/DSCF5399.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFY-w_XhNc1LgExxTgXpVFXNjbfD7iDPug0ZnlUiFv4ztC4C44IZs8uuQm09dUUcVTrCjOwYgoypr5p0FqYi_pDpwzgQ_6gzEJgw41d_JVA3w44F70ZvCL6iWoIsfydXL_hQbLtuvQZ0g/s200/DSCF5399.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539555990583190546" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After the game we made it back home, Ron and Teri came too. We played some games (What's that Europe train game called again??) and visited, until we had dinner. I wish we could have had Cliff and Marla there too (hopefully next time), but it was so great just to be together and have a lot of fun. Before Georgia and Richard left, Bonnie wanted to get a few more pictures that she didn't get of our hands with the cougar stamp on them and as you can see we got a little silly...especially take a look at Georgia and her hand stamp.
