Christmas morning!

Another Christmas has come and gone! I really miss it! Now I get the pressure to take down the tree! I love to look at it but my top lights went out, except for the shot gun shell lights, they look good! I have to get back to work so the enjoyment is over!

Plutttt!

Here comes Thansgiving, and we certainly have a lot to be thankful for! I just realized I have not down lodded my pictures! Back soon.

I have been remiss in keeping up this summer. So here are some things in a nut shell.
Ian fractured his leg and had to have a couple of casts.

I took a trip with my mom to Yellowstone the end of September. Pictures will never do justice to Yellowstone.

I have canned Choke Cherry syrup and Spaghetti sauce, salsa & tomatoes. My tomato plants did much better than expected. I always think of a talk I heard where we were asked what will we tell the Lord when he asked why we wasted the bounty he sent? Plus I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing where my food comes from. Organic at it’s best!

Farmers Market

The Wendover couples golf tournament.

We won.

Pam got $100 chip for closest to th hole.

Family time! I think it's great. So many are not with us any more except in spirit.

These are my mom's brothers she had 6 of them. Ronald (3rd), Bernard (2nd) , Greg (6th), Warren (4th), Loren (5th) is not pictured and Sonny (1st) is no longer with us. My mom was the oldest and claimed all she ever did was change diapers!

This is my dad and his three sisters. Karalou ( 3rd), Qwendalyn (2nd), Zolamae (1st), Duane (4th), & Donald (5th) the youngest brother is no longer around either, but all branches were represented at the reunion. The little boy on Karalou's lap is Hayden, Vickie's grandson.

Brooklynn has come back to town from Texas for a visit, she is our rock hound. First thing she did was walk on the rocks

Girls built a hut.

Adree is quite the architect when it comes to building huts. She is very specific in what she wants. Grandpa of course wants things his way so when he left the girls built it their way!

Girls ROCK!

Every time I add new pictures we have already done something new. The small rocks are now complete, we have added some walls around the flower beds and in the fall we hope to add more boulders.

This is Chris' it seems he will
be forever missed and remembered!

Memorial Day can be a little tough on us. We have lost some too soon. Some it is a well deserved rest. I remember how tired Jim was. I know it's hard on Helen getting to know herself without him. She is dearly needed still on this earth.

5-14/15-9 Golfing the Wendover Tour

Golfing on what Brent calls “The Wendover tour”, was a lot of fun. Great company. I hope to win the Lexus their giving away in June. The Indian Paint Brushes (plant) were in bloom along hole numuber 17. Lots of lizards, horn toads, and the Antelope were around. It was a bit cold on the second day so the men brought out the golf covers. What a difference! Then it warmed up and all was good. The first day we paly some what well. The second day no birdies but no double bogies either! So we ended in 3rd place “net” . Makes the man happy, and we end on a positive note, gambling was “take my money now”.

I know Rachael, this is allover the place! It is a work in process!

No one told me I spelled Xeriscaping wrong!

It's coming along great. Now my fear is instead of cementing the yard Brent will want to rock the whole thing!

Max helps Grandpa alot! He loves rocks. The man is amazing he rocks and tends Max. I'm so jealous, I have to go to work!

Coming right along! I promised I wouldn't plant to much till it was done or until next year.
That is very difficult for me, since I already bought alot of the plants native to Utah.

Tanner & the Hunt

Easter! We had an Easter egg hunt with family. It was great!

Grand Canyon

We are back from the Grand Canyon. We headed to Vegas to take a dryer to Jill, then on to Grand Canyon. I haven't been before and I really wnated to go on the Sky Walk. The Canyon is 278 mile long and 107 are owned by the Hualapai Tribe. To see the canyon thru the eyes of the residents is a treat although very expensive!. $59 per person to take their bus tour and then $29 to take the Sky Walk. But I did not travel all that way not too walk in the sky!

It reminded me of when Brent and I took Grandpa Cagle & Grandma to Monument Valley, he (JIm) took many a picture down there, but to see those areas now you need to go with and pay for an escort from the tribes. Grandpa said to "tell them to go to hell!" (rather than pay) But when we got in the reservation that is the areas he and Helen remembered the best. He also said that "if you see a one armed Indian going into the bathroom don't follow, he may need help."

Any way the walk is of glass but pictures are not allowed on the walk but for $30 they will sell you professional pictures. It was a blast! Then on to Green Springs, by way of Zions, to Golf. Brent sounded so much like his dad because we had to pay $25 bucks to enter the canyons. Next year I may just buy a season pass, no he is not old enough for the senior pass.

Work is growing time to head south!

The more I work the more work there is to do. So we're heading south! To the Sky Walk at the Grand Canyon.
