Where would we be without family

Thanksgiving last year was special for our family. We all got together after many years apart to take pictures for mom and dad. We didn't all spend dinner together but we did find time to pull of a photo shoot. Ann found us some cool farm implements for backdrop. Enjoy the pics. They in and of themselves speak volumes

We all got a chance to have our pictures taken with our spouses if they were there. Hey how come we didn't get one of the two of us Len?

Ann & Bruce take a minute for their picture.

Barry, Mom, Genalee, Dad, Tim, Me, Ann, Dan (Becky was MIA)

A tractor and a family, what a great idea for a picture. What a perfect day it was, end of November and it is warm and sunny. Only in southern Utah.

There she goes again, thinking she can tell us what to do!

A family "Outstanding in their field!"

Never was voted class clown, I take my bows!

Class of 1971 Reunion

Martha Porter, Verla Brinkerhoff, Clyde Postma, Joan Hall, Boyd Hall, Bevin Johnson, Ed Campbell, Len, Karl Wilson

Class of 1971 class reunion was hosted by my man and held in the old white church in Rockville. There were only about 1/3 of the class there with spouses but a great time catching up and seeing who has the most hair. This class must have done something right because most of them still had there hair (with the exception of Len and Clyde) that's pretty good. Only one on a walker and nobody on oxygen...yet!

We tried to get a good picture but these clowns are pretty unruly to say the least! A fun time for all catered by a friend and all around great guy, Sanford Saline. Dutch Oven cooking is the best and we ate it all!

Terilyn Jepson, Joan Hall, Peggy Watkins, Martha Porter, Verla Brinkerhoff, Clyde Postma, Lolly Howard, Boyd Hall, Shanna Campbell, Gay Lebaron, Ed Campbell, Mindy Brown, Karl Wilson, Susan Sandberg, Ron Hines, Susan Slack, Terry Sullivan, Geri Wright, Roger Stewart, Marlin Olds. Front row, Len, Bevin Johnson, David Wright. Not pictured were Greg Scott, Eldon Pierce who both had to leave.

Our beautiful Mom

I want to pay tribute to my wonderful mom. She is 75 years young and hiked with us like a trooper. There probably isn't a trail or a road in all of southern Utah that my mom has not be on or down. She is such an adventurer. She is like the energizer bunny. She keeps going and going and going! She came with us on our day of adventure, she hiked, geocached, and picniced with us. It was so much fun to have her along. Mom you really rock!

Cedar Mountain

My sister and me! What adventures we have together. Time out for a rest on our way to the falls near Navajo Lake. 

Chillaxin' with Ann

The little hike was well worth the hike. It was less than a mile round trip but so neat to see. They are formed from water that seeps into the rock from Navajo lake.

Cascade Falls

On the bridge to somewhere!

A day of fun

This pipe held some memories from our childhood for sure. We used to have mom drive us over just so we could see the swear words that were carved into it. An icon! We didn't get swear words any other way...I know we were sheltered! Right?! We had to take a picture because the construction crews were there to take it out on Tuesday. Another memory bites the dust!

Toquerville Water Pipe


We decided to do a little geocaching on our way to Cedar Mountain. Ann got her first find here! Way to go Ann!

Ann Geocaching

We stopped at another fond memory place, Woods Ranch. We used to come here with youth groups to sled in the winter time. It was soooo much fun. We also had a blended family reunion here years ago. I just couldn't miss this sweet photo op. Bruce and Ann are so cute!

Love is in the air!

On the trail to the Cascade Falls we found this great tree. I just love interesting trees. They intrique me and beg for a picture. This one was no exception.

Spending time with my sister is my favorite thing!

Balanced Rock, well at least something is balanced! I had quite a time getting up the loose gravel to get this shot, so I hope you enjoy it!

Balanced Rock!

Just a little further up the trail and we saw the most amazing waterfall. Thanks Barry for giving us this great tip on a fun place to go.

These steps made a cool place to take a rest. Ann was such a trooper, always ready for an adventure is she.
