Visit with Grandma

We had a great time in Utah for Thanksgiving. I'm so glad our family got to go and be with Amy and her family my Mom, Uncle Kelly and Grandma. We had a nice time Thanksgiving day and I think we all stuffed our selves silly including Grandma!! Here's a few pictures from our visits to see her at her new home. Only once did I cry when we had to leave her, it was a little hard to see her sitting alone as we walked out. But, the next time I saw her she said to me "You know Jenny I'm really happy to be here" and that made me smile. Here's a few pictures of us at her place.

Cabin Trip

Dan, Kate & I went to the cabin over the 4th. We had a nice time went on two nice hikes all the kids got their Jr Ranger badges. We got to go to the neighbourhood 4th picnic. Most of all we got to spend lots of time visiting with Grandma. She had fun visiting with some of her great grand kids and enjoyed being by the fire at night. One night we stayed at the fire until midnight she was enjoying it so much she did not want to go in.

Can you go to the cabin without having kids in the creek.

We hiked to Emma Matilda lake. It is a great hike you start at the elk hunters camp on Pacific Creek and end up at the Lodge. It's 7 miles and mostly in the shade. The only bad part is you come out on the horse trails by the lodge.

Arizona Fun

Well we had a great weekend having Charlie and Grandma and my Mom come to town. Friday night we went to the temple it was so awsome, Uncle Doug was able to do Uncle Brent's temple work. After the temple we met up with Charlie at a really yummy Mexican food resturant, sorry I don't have any pictures of that. Then Saturday we met up at the Scottsdale train park, Kendall and Bryant missed out because Kendall was not feeling well but we all had a fun time and it was so good to be together. Thanks Charlie for brining Grandma down, your a great person!

Whos in?

So the big spud lottery is over and yesterday they sent out emails telling everyone who got in and who did not....so who made it in? Dan, Kristy, Zach and myself did not receive emails so we really don't know one way or the other.

So did any of you make it?

Fond Farewell

As you see from the following pictures Logan's farewell yesterday was a very joyous event. I hope they call me on a misson .... little David with "BIG" Logan.

Zach and Logan sitting. If they had been standing you'd see that Zach is almost as tall as his brother.

Happy as can be are we three!

Logan with his mom, step dad, step brother and brother Gregg ... MaKayla and Zach had left for a few minutes.

Logan talked about being a good shepard in his sermon ... Great Grandma commented that he sounded more like a returning missionary than a departing one. We all agreed.

6' 5" Logan makes the rest of us look pretty short ... if Gregg had been standing you'd be able to see that he is taller than his dad and much taller than his grandpa.

He's ready, willing and wanting to get going!
