Antelope Island

 

 

 

 

After having lunch at the park, we packed up and drove out to Antelope Island. Yes, we did see some antelope and bison. There is a ranch there where we explored and played. The kids had a great time playing on the roping dummies and such.

 

 

 

 

Emily and Rylee were so happy to be together again. It had been 9 months. David tried to get Paige to hold his hand and be a friend, but she wasn't so sure about that. Baby Daphney in her sun hat.

All Fifteen

 

 

 

 

We gathered all 15 grandkids around us for a photo. Wow! It was amazing that we got them all to look forward at the camera. Fun, fun, fun!

Fun Family Day

 

 

 

 

What a fun day we, the whole family, had at the park. The weather had been so rainy all week, but on Saturday the sun came out and we all so enjoyed it. We went to this fun park in Layton, where the kids chased the ducks and played on the playground. Logan was cute teaching Paige how to blow dandelions.

Spring Run Off - Flaming Gorge

 

 

 

 

With a lot of snow in the winter comes a bigger than normal runoff. Mark and I drove up to Flaming Gorge this week to see the Green River running very swift and full. The last time this happened was in 1983. They predict this year's runoff to be bigger. Flaming Gorge area is beautiful. We stopped at the lodge for a nice dinner. Enjoyed the evening.

Las Vegas

 

 

 

 

The end of March and early April, Mark, Zola and I went to St. George and Las Vegas. Mark had transportation meetings for 2 and a half days and then we went on to Las Vegas to visit Lonnie's family, which had recently moved there. We had a fun time flying kites and playing at a near by park. We went to the Excalabur to see Tournament of the kings, with it's knights and ladies and well trained horses. We ate a full meal with no utensils. Quite the experience.

Swimming Pool fun

 

 

 

 

It was warm enough to play a little in the pool.

Painted rooms

 

 

We have been busy painting the kitchen and family room. A little color brightens up the winter blahs. What a lot of work. It is the getting ready and the putting everything back that takes so much time. Thanks to Mark it went a lot quicker. A good project to get done and now enjoy.

March 2011

 

 

OK, some do facebook, but I do blog. So it is time to update what is going on around here. It is so good to have warmer weather. The fields are bareing off rather nicely. Water is running everywhere. Our big lake that was near our driveway a week ago is alomost gone. But on the north side of the house you can see we have a big mound still. The driveway was a fun place for the kids to be out on their bikes. David was so cute to line the bikes all up in row. It is so nice to be outdoors. Yea, spring.

Trip to Arizona

 
 
 
 
On Dec. 27, Mark and I along with Deb and Alan Walker drove to New River, Arizona, just north of Phoneix to visit with Grandma Etta, and Alice and Jim Young. We had a nice time seeing the sights and we enjoyed one day of warm sunshine. We also picked some fresh citrus fruit,yummie. We went shopping and here is the world's tallest Christmas tree.
