Mission Farewell #2

We talked in church and then went to the stake center to be set apart. It was an amazing experience. We then went to the house for lunch. The kids played red-rover, the parents visited, and it was Hiedi's birthday and she shared it with us. Tyler and Emily brought their great dane and Emmie loved her. Tonya shared pictures with Paul and Eric. It was a nice time.

Mission Farewell

Yes, we are going on a mission. We are excited and happy to have this opportunity to give of our time and means to help our Father in Heaven. We have been given so much if life. It is very little to give.
We are going to the Quito Equador Mission as office workers for 18 months.

Snowbird Families

All the kids in our regular swing pictures.

Emilee and Us at Mackay

We painted and the red doors and green windows update it a little. Emmie loves to explore. We found new cabins and new areas that we didn't know were there. I especially love the picture of Dave and Emmie looking in a hole of an old root cellar that had fallen in. It is one of my all time favorite pictures.

Go Jazz!

Even Tabby is into watching the Jazz. They are in the finals and we are cheering them on each game. Go Jazz!!!!!!!!!

The Johnston's

We went to visit the Johnston's while we were in Colorado. Their family is growing really fast. We watched Brittany in Beauty and the Beast. She was an admirer of Gaston from the village. It was a very professional production done by the high school and jr. high. Aubrey is in volleyball and we watched one of her games. Hannah won the piano competition as a first year student. Porter went to the museum with us. We had a really nice time there.

The Denver Aquarium

Dave and I went to the Denver Temple, Aquarium, and the Cheesecake Factory on Dave's birthday. It was a really nice day.

Wyatt Arrives to Kelly and Tyler's Family

April 16th, in Colorado Springs, Timothy Wyatt Adams was born. We went over as fast as we could to help. We watched Josh while Mom and Dad were in the hospital with the baby. Wyatt is a sweet baby, he cries very little, and loves to be cuddled. There is something very special about the sweet cuddles of a baby. Josh got a kitten for his birthday - he just turned four. He loves it and named it Mauser.

Fireplace

We put in a new fireplace since our old one caused a chimney fire. Those fires are really scary and hot. It sounds like a train in the chimney. We were painting the table in our kitchen and suddenly there was a roar in the family room. The new one has no sound and no smoke. It warms and is really pretty. You will have to come to the cabin to check it out.

Is It Really Spring?

We woke up this morning and the sky was still blue, but something else was not the same as yesterday. It is melting fast and we are supposed to have light rain later today. It is beautiful and nice because we need the moisture so much.

2nd Honeymoon in Yellowstone

We went with Yellowstone Vacations on a trax bus. It was a whole day trip and was very enjoyable on a warm bus with big windows. Dave and I are standing outside the bus. We saw a wolf working on a fallen elk. We saw the classic Old Faithful, a lot of buffalo and some beautiful coyotes. There were animals everywhere and the bear are just starting to come out. There was a low snowfall this year and the snowmobilers had to ride the bus part way.
Thanks Laurie and Crae for letting us stay in your cabin for a few days. It is always pretty in Island Park.

Mt. Timpanogos Day

On March 3, 2010, Dave and I were sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. It was a wonderful day. Most of our children were able to be there and my Dad, who just turned 89. Tom, my brother, and Melinda came, too. After the sealing we went to a dinner at Golden Corral. We filled a whole room and the kids loved it.

Island Park 2

Well, I had to add another post because the pictures of the cabin were not down loaded on the blog. It is pretty inside and out.

Island Park

 

 

 

 

We went to Laurie's cabin at Island Park. For those of you that wanted pictures, here they are. It was the first time that Dave has been on a snow mobile. Their cabin is beautiful and very big. The icesicles were huge. We had a very nice time.

Wildlife Museum

You have to see this place to appreciate it. It is one family's work to leave to everyone these amazing animals and insects. It is worth seeing if you have time. Be sure to listen to their stories on the wands that tell about everything.
