I was busy with school this year so we didn’t have time to take a fancy family vacation. Instead we decided to go camping. Somewhere I had read that Tony Grove Lake in the Cache National Forest was a decent place for beginning campers so, without ever seeing the place, I reserved a campsite on… Continue reading Camping Trip at Tony Grove Lake
Summer day at Sugarhouse Park
I noticed that I haven’t posted these pictures yet. When the kids were still out of school we decided to go to downtown Salt Lake City. We wanted to go to the DUP(Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) museum, but it was closed for construction. I did not want to pay for parking so we decided… Continue reading Summer day at Sugarhouse Park
New Shelves
As part of the project to finish our basement, we had the contract provide us a bid on building shelving in the basement storage room and in the garage. The pricing was reasonable and the contractor started on it right away while waiting for the building permits for the basement. Nancy and I were both… Continue reading New Shelves
Anne’s Birthday
(08/18/2011)Unfortunately, it’s been more than a year since I focused on updating the website. Now that I’m done with school, I’ve got much more time in the evenings so I’m going back in time and adding events that I previously missed. I can’t remember what we did for Anne’s birthday in 2010 but I don’t… Continue reading Anne’s Birthday

Fortunately for me, Sam didn’t have much patience for sanding and balancing and those… Continue reading Pinewood Derby

Caroline played Sky Blue and New Orleans Celebration by Faber Caroline Emily played the first movement (allegro) of Concerto No. 3 in F major (Autumn) from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Cherished Moments by… Continue reading 2010 Spring Recital
Memorial Day Fun
For Memorial Day Aunt Lori invited us to go boating with them on Utah Lake. I had previously been to Hoytsville to take care of Grandma and check Grandpa’s grave (someone had already mowed it and cleaned it) so we were free to play on Memorial Day. We met Aunt Lori and her family at… Continue reading Memorial Day Fun
Spring time in Utah
All I can say is, I’m glad I haven’t put out my tomato plants yet.
Fun at the new park
Down the road a ways the city built a new park. It is not that great, but since it is a change from the old on they have been going to it is like hitting the jackpot for the kids. One day I decided to take their pictures just for fun.
Diana’s Kindergarten Mother’s Day Program
For mother’s day this year all the kindergarten classes got together to do a program for their mothers. We were off track at the time so I had to drive Diana to school instead of sending her on the bus. Diana has been excited the past month or so because they have been practicing the… Continue reading Diana’s Kindergarten Mother’s Day Program
