Family Pictures at the Golf Course

Since it was the first time we had all been together in over three years, we HAD to have a family photo. We met the photographer at the golf course and were just about to the perfect spot when the sprinklers came on! We all scattered, some fell, some got grass stains on their pants - but mostly we laughed and started again. We're still waiting to see the proofs, but here are some of our own photos from after the session.

The Gunny

Kirk and sons all travelled to Colorado to raft and down the Gunnison River. Kenny had been dying to take a brothers trip down the "Gunny" where they would be really isolated from civilization and catch some great native fish. They had a great time!

















After carrying this load for over an hour before they reached the river, they were DEAD TIRED, and it was just the beginning!

The Whole Crew at the Cabin


We all loved getting out of the heat and up to Kolob where it was around 80 degrees with a nice cool breeze. The kids loved riding the 4-wheelers, catching frogs and snakes, and swinging on the hammock. Everyone got competitive playing a bean bag toss game, especially the adults. George, Mike, Kenny, Brian and Scott headed off the mountain one night for some male bonding watching a UFC fight in Springdale. It was great to be together!

All Eight Grandkids Together At Last



Mike's family came home from Beijing for a month visit and so the whole family gathered in St. George. Its been more than 3 years since we've all been together. It was especially fun to have all 8 grandkids together and to compare how they have grown. It made for "wonderful chaos" around here. LOVED it!
