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.

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!

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.

A fond farewell to Dan & Jill!!!

Last night a neighborhood farewell was held for my brother Dan & his wife Jill. They are leaving their beloved and beautiful home to move to Salt Lake City. Dan has been without steady work for quite some time now and has found a great job with excellent insurance in Salt Lake. Two of his married kids Tricia and Andrew with their families, have moved into Dan's home so that Jill is able to go up with Dan. They will be living in Natalie's basement.

Dan's the Man!
Dan is always the kidder. He posed special for this picture. Now isn't this typical Dan?

Brekken, Dan, Samantha, Gwen Wadsworth, & Jill.
My camera didn't take good pictures, I think it's time for a new one. Since I only got a few I wanted to post them anyway. Jill I apolgize for the closed eye shot. The food was delicious as always and fun was had by one and all. My sadness for their leaving was only trumped by my sadness that mom and dad were excluded from the fun. It hurts my heart. Dan & Jill you will be missed more than you can ever imagine. We all wish you the best of luck and happiness for now and in the years to come.

The world is a better and happier place because of people like Dan and Jill. Bon Voyage you two and come home soon!

Girls' Week in Colorado

We had so much fun going to the Hammond candy factory. We had a little tour of how they make candy and then on to the treats. Afterwards we treated ourselves to lunch at a local mexican dive that was recommended to us. No kidding, the burritos were at least a foot long! Whew glad we didn't order them. It was a yummy place to eat for sure!
Two Sisters Having Fun

Inside the candy store, a kids' dream place for sure. We picked up treats for the grandkids and for ourselves. Not too much at $22 a pound!!

Rocky Maountain National Park
Spending time with Ann is the highlight of my life. We talk about anything and everything under the sun. And yes here we are under the sun, way up in Rocky Mountain National Park!

The queen of the skies, Ann Beradall Anderson, with the call letters honoring our grandfather William Deveninsh on the tail of her plane. A dream that was dreamt and realized. I am so very proud of her!Way to go!
A woman and her wings!

Jillyn Wells
Jillyn graciously opened her cabin to host the summer office party for her son Mason's staff and families. What a great place to escape the heat of St. George and get together for some great food and fun. She has a beautiful cabin in a wonderful setting on Pine Valley Mountain. We have enjoyed spending many memorable hours in her cabin. Jillyn thanks for the great memories...hopefully many more to come. You rock girlfriend!
