Trip to Texas

I went to Texas to Help tend Henry while Heidi took her finals.

We also had time to have some fun!

We played "Hide in the Box"

We went to the ocean!


Got lost on our hike???

Went to the Zoo :)

I had a blast and loved spending time with

Heidi, Daniel and little Henry.

Can't wait to see them again!!

Wedding Day!

Ryan and Ann
March 19, 2010

Here are a few pictures from Ryan's wedding. It was a beautiful day.

They are such a cute couple.

They are doing great and living in Billings, Montana now.

Thank you family and friends that help with all the wedding stuff.

Thanks McKell for the great pictures.

One down, another one in five weeks!

Wedding Plans

One week to go!

If you haven't gotten an invitation to Ryan's wedding-

Here it is- you are invited.
March 19th at the Summerset LDS Church-

1885 No. Summerwood Dr. Farmington Utah

7-9 pm

We are all very excited for them!

Since it is almost spring I thought I had better post some winter pictures of our fun day trip to McCall Idaho. It was a short two hour drive to a winter wonderland. Because McCall is further North than Star Idaho, there is snow. They have a snow sculpturing contest every year. We got there on the last day of the festival and because of the warm weather, most of the sculptures had started to melt. I think the best part was I didn't have any boots to wear so I tip toed all around in slushy snow and my feet got a little wet walking around. (Better get me some winter clothes)

Not bad for little Idaho.

It was lots of fun but it drove me nuts that people can't read. There were signs all over the place to STAY OFF the sculptures and still everyone was climbing all over them.

No Respect- one of my biggest pet peeves.

Ron's favorite part was as we drove past the ski resort we saw a big wolf running across the groomed slopes.

Our New House

This is a video our daughter made of our new house. Hope you like it!

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

I found some more pictures of our move. We had so many wonderful friends help us load up the two BIG trucks that I had to say Thank you!!

Holly and John checking out how big the trucks really were.

Ryan's little girlfriends, Laura on the ramp and Emma in the truck helping out.

He will really miss those two little girls.

Ward members trying to figure out how to squeeze everything in the truck.

They did such a great job, nothing got broken on the trip to Idaho.

Almost done!!

Ryan ready to go!

Saying good-bye was the hardest part.

LEAVING FLORIDA

Before we left Florida, we had to eat once more at the beach. The little pink cafe on the beach has the best fish and chips. Burdette had flown all the way to Florida to help us drive back to Idaho. The least we could do was take him to the beach for fish and chips!!

After two long days of loading truck!!

Ready to go! So sad to say good bye to friends!!

Pit stop!

Ron high centered the truck trying to go up a hotel's parking lot in Arkansas. Here is a picture of the tow truck getting us unstuck. We are blocking a 70 mile per hour highway.
The picture is kind of blurry because Ryan was laughing when he took the picture.
You just had to be there to really enjoy the story!!

Here is the man- Burdette
Ryan and Burdette drove together to catch up on old times but
the truck was so noisy that they couldn't hear each other very well.


We hit snow in Cortez, Colorado. One of our trucks froze and it took five hours to get it fixed.

Getting ready to leave Utah. Heading for Star, Idaho

Bridger loved the big trucks!!

Christmas at the Beach

Christmas day in Florida was so nice that we decided to go to the beach. It was a little breezy but warm enough to enjoy a stroll down the beach.

Henry didn't know if he like the cool, wet sand on his feet.

He wanted his mom to carry him so he didn't have to walk on the sand!

Such a cute boy!!

Cute Family!!

Christmas Morning

Now that I have unpacked my camera/computer cord, I can update my blog.

I will start with a few pictures of Christmas 2009

We were so lucky to have Heidi, Dan and baby Henry here for Christmas. They drove all the way from Texas to spend a week with us. Holly and her boyfriend John also came but they went to his grandparents house in Melbourne Fl. until after Christmas.

Henry was excited for his very own "cell phone".

Because this was Henry's first Christmas he was not sure what to do.

Our cute little Christmas boy!!!

Handsome Henry!!


I just wished we weren't packing things up to move and had more time to enjoy the sites.
