Roasting marshmallows at our Dude Ranch cabin.

                           Another summer and another set of 4H animals to take care of.

                                        It's time to show the pigs and the steers and sell them.

Mutton bustin'.  Why do we think it is fun to put the little kids on a sheep and watch them fall off and hope they don't get hurt? :(

                                        We always love to visit  Deco's and Kera's family in Lehi.

                             Our beautiful granddaughter, Lexi, married her sweetheart, Clay Ellsworth.

July 2016

The 4th of July in Blanding is a "big deal." It's the best celebration ever!  Such a fun day with family!

Camping with friends on Elk Mountain

And then we visited our Colorado land.  Beautiful as usual.

June 2016

          Our family trip this year was to Pagosa Springs, Colorado.  We visited an animal park.

We saw some awesome wildlife

  And, here are all of our little critters.

                 Just hanging out with grandpa at the house we rented.

                      Swimming, swimming, swimming!!

                 
                               We went on some amazing hikes.

                                             And some of the family went rafting.

Our trip to Pagosa Springs was tiring but fun and a success!!

Another adventure we had was to hike up San Juan Hill with part of the family.

                   The writing on the wall: "We thank thee oh God."   We are so thankful for the sacrifice and tenacity of our pioneer ancestors.

                                          And we visited River House Ruins.

We celebrated the 100th birthday of Grandma Clessa on June 24th, 2016
