Happy Birthday Braxton! There was even cake on the screen door behind him when he was done celebrating!

Curb and gutter child! Braxton doing what Braxton likes best....exploring!

A day on Timp

Sometimes you just gotta be on top of the world! As always, Timp was spectacular. Thank you Chris and Shaunae for being my hiking buddies on Timp.

Rock Canyon...Provo Peak

Ever wonder what it looks like behind Rock Canyon? I have for a long time and the other day Shaunae and I decided to hike it....and what a treat! Check out these pictures...we even got caught in a hail storm at the top and had to run down so we wouldn't end up in the news as the two dead dummies dying from hypothermia!

Storm over Utah Lake.

On top of the world!

Ta dah! Shaunae almost to the top.

At the top of Shingle Mill Summit just before the hail started! Found out when I checked this hike out on the internet that there is actually a register for Shaunae and I to sign right under my foot! Guess we'll have to go back and sign it:<

Family reunion Fort Buenaventura

Our family reunion with my brother, Glenn and his family, was held in Ogden at Fort Buenaventura. We had a total of 26 show up. Other than being in the threats of the 'Twentyfourth Street Gang' in Ogden, we had a great time...plenty of shade, floating the Weber River, fishing, kayaking and a good time visiting with family.

Meet the Grandbabies!

Aren't my ballarina beauties adorable? And what handsome little guys! I'm Nana....I have bragging rights! We did these pictures at home and the babes ended up crying while the parents were all laughing...too funny! Back row: Callie, Brooklynn, Mcaydee and Kaylee. Front row: Braxton (2 mo We call him our baby giant, Will (6 mo), Kade (11 mo).

Celebrating 30 years!

Celebrating our 30th anniversary in Quray, CO...what a fun time we had. We stayed in Hotel Quray...one of the original victorian hotels. We had a lot of fun on our rented four wheeler and even did some digging at an old gold mine. Bob is sure he struck gold....all .02 cents of it! The mountains were beautiful and we had waterfalls everywhere we went. This is where I come to ice climb in February with Chris and Shaunae...what a beautiful difference compared to the ice and snow in the winter. Bob and I drove to Black Canyon and were amazed at the scenery. We drove down to the Gunnison River at the bottom of the canyon. If you get the chance to visit, be sure to enjoy a meal at the 'The Outlaw' ....great food.

Big 'B'... Little 'b'

This is one of my favorite pictures....Papa and Braxton. They must have come out of the same mold! They enjoy spending time together sitting with each other and nuzzeling foreheads....must be a boy thing!

Vacation fun in Washington!

We just spent a week visiting Shalene, Tyler, Callie and Kade in Puyallup, WA. The top picture was a day at the beach....Linda, Tia. Tanner, Callie, Kade and Shalene. It was sunny and warm which is a real plus at the coast. The second picture was our fun outing to 'Grove of the Patriarchs' an island of trees over 1,000 years old....this one fell down and made for a great backdrop for this picture of Tia and Callie.
We spent two days in Port Angeles at the coast and played in the tide pools while it was low tide. Callie is holding one of our treasures.
