Wow! Life is such a precious, fragile miracle. Kelly invited her mother and me to be at the doctor’s office today when she and Curtis had the ultrasound. We learned right away that it’s a boy. The outdoor plumbing was quite evident. I am overjoyed. Everyone was all smiles. Katelyn wanted a baby sister, but she’ll enjoy being the big…
Steve’s shoulder surgery :(
The score was tied and he knew he could win. A fast ball off the front wall was coming high and, without thinking, he swung high and hard. And that was the last swing he would do for a long time. Steve tore the tendon in his right shoulder and couldn’t raise his arm. And Jason had no mercy. Steve…
Steve and Carolyn Reunion
Steve and Carolyn’s family came to town for a reunion the end of July. They rented a LARGE monster home in Heber and enjoyed a few days together with nearly all of their children and grandchildren. They had twenty-five people there–13 adults and 12 children. Mike and Kristi and their new son Emmet weren’t able to come. And Nathan was…
A Day at Hogle Zoo
Boy was it HOT! I went to the zoo with Lisa, Vernon, Gayle and families. Most of the children hadn’t been to a zoo before (that they could remember) and were so excited to see the animals. And I was happy to be with my family that I don’t get to see nearly enough. The zoo was giving a price…
Rendezvous Beach Camping
We thought we were going camping on the south shore of Bear Lake where we could wake up in the morning and walk out to the water. But what really happened was that the lake decided to shrink. So we camped in a campground with very few trees and lots of weeds where we could see the lake about a…
Soapstone Camping
Last week we went camping at the Soapstone campground. It’s on the Mirror Lake highway about 20 miles east of Park City in the Wasatch National Forrest. Steve and I took our little motorhome. Matthew and Natalie and their girls camped in their tent. And Curtis and Kelly and Katelyn brought their tent trailer. Luckily, we had no bugs to…
4th of July Fun 2009
What a fun day! Steve and I made Belgian waffles and took them to Murray Park, where Curtis and Kelly had saved a good spot for the whole family to set out the lawn chairs and blankets and watch the parade. We all ate breakfast and enjoyed a beautiful morning together with the kids and grandchildren. Then that evening we…
Fun at Costco
I always like going to Costco. A few years back we nicknamed it the ‘hundred dollar store’. We didn’t get out of there very often for less–and when we did, we celebrated. I like to people-watch at Costco. Moms with multiple children are fun to watch. They do an amazing job of juggling the kids, maneuvering the cart, and getting…
