Familes are like fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts







Fun with my adorable grandkids

Wendy, Eric, & Zach at our back yard circus


Addie, Katelyn with Wendy, & Hailey



Caleb likes to play on the chair and Abbie likes to play on the rocking dog - "woof woof"





Ring around the trampoline, pocket full of lima beans, ashes ashes WE ALL FALL DOWN. Mark and Elden have fun on the trampoline.
James enjoys the back yard swing.
And Elden gets covered up with fall leaves in the back yard.




Addie played soccer this fall. This is her last game. She isn't very aggresive, but she knows how to kick the ball when she has the chance.
DeAnn, Lyn, Donna, Kathie and I went on a Sister's outing last week to St. George and Cedar City. We had great fun mostly talking and watching theater productions. Here we are at the Jacob Hamblin House. We traveled in Lyn's motor home and
Donna, Kathie and I were the "Back Seat Girls"
Bringing home the cows
Lyn drove and DeAnn sat up front with her
This was DeAnn's favorite activity - rolling on her back to get everything back in place.

Day at the Zoo




One of our family activites this fall was a trip to the zoo. Everyone had a good time. Even the newly weds.

Abbie loved feeding the goats and all the kids enjoyed the picnic and playground afterwards.







Day at Rigby Lake

We spent a Saturday at Ribgy Lake with some of the family. We canoed, played in the water and the sand, and ate good food. Even the littlest ones seemed to enjoy themselves.


Don't they make life vests in larger sizes?


We discovered some cute and friendly mer-folk.



Summer is quickly coming to a close so we're glad to share these nice days with family.

Wedding Dance

The last half of Todd and Bethany's wedding reception was a dance. Todd and Bethany started out (above center and right), then Bethany changed out of her wedding dress, and the fun really started. Todd performed a tap dance (left) choreographed to L.O.V.E. and then danced with Bethany (above left). (part of Todd's tap dance is on the video at the bottom of this blog) Then Bethany danced with her dad and Todd danced with me and David danced with Bethany, his new daughter in law and then EVERYONE began dancing. It was so fun, and I took scads of pictures. I had a hard time deciding which ones not to post so, even though there are a lot of pictures, I hope you enjoy them.
(Below) Zachary and Addison really got into dancing. They had a great time, and then Zach noticed the position the adults were taking to dance and he moved himself and Addie into that position albeit backwards. Is he left handed? Anyway, I was quite impressed.
Lyn told Jim he had to dance, so I took a picture of Heidi and Jim dancing to document that he really did.












MiKell and Wendy formed a line dance for the "ladies in green".
David & I had a wonderful time. Thanks so much to Bethany & Todd for making the evening possible. We love you both. (And Bethany, welcome to the family!!)
