Lost images just found them






















Pictures taken out by Jerihco just North of the Sand Dunes.











Wednesday April 29, 2009
Today I had the day off since I had put in my 80 hours on tuesday night. I cannot believe it, I have a 5 day weekend. What a break.

Today Albert and I loaded the four wheelers and went out to Jerico for a short ride. The day was geogeous . We had blue sky and the sun was warm in the afternoon. It was a little brisk at 9 am though - glad we had our coats, gloves and ear muffs.

Iam galad we did not invite the women along I probably would have spent more time walking back to my wife's bike and riding it down or up the steep rocky sections. With them not aalong I had a much funner time. A short note I really like the wife to come but this trip would have been more complaining from her and that she would not ride the bike over, down or up the trails. So I am glad she did not come.

Then again she had to work and could not get off since it is close to graduation.

We say a lot of new country, not much in wildlife except one lone antelope hopefully the picturs turn out. I did take a number of pictures of flowers that were in bloom.

Pictures is taken from the top of a water tank looking south down into the St. George area. I thought this was a pretty view and wanted a picture of it.






On saturday after visisting AHWC HOA I drove to Flagstaff to attend a wedding reception for one of my cousins kids. Their oldest daughter married this youn g man from Flagstaff. It was just a little over a 5 hour drive but it was worth it to be able to visit with long lost relatives. The other side of the family only sees each other about every 5-6 years since they live so far away.

Maddison in the swing with Grandpa

Our little angel being as cute as ever. Doing what he does best. Getting dirty. He is a true little boy and such a sweet Angel. I love Paxton and all my grandkids.


Conner finding his Easter basket. He was the first one to find what the Easter Bunny left him.

Elise, Maddison, and Paxton hunting for their easter eggs and basket. Just a short note all the kids we going crazy looking for their basket and as soon as Paxton got outside he headed straight for the sand box and could care less about easter baskets. He loves playing in the sand pile.


Mason with and Easter Bunny that he picked out.

As you can see the one thing thatMason likes the most at Grandpa's house is "Morris the Cat". What a name for the cat, but it was what Kyle picked out and it has stuck for 15 years. Mason really like Morris and Morris is such a friendly cat, he loves any and all attention especially being scratched ar rubbed. He has never bitten or scratched the kids no matter how rough they get. What a great cat!






Kara and Cassie love to swing with Grandpa. Every time we go forward in the bottom picture Cassie is saying weeeeeeee. I love to be with all of my kids. It is fun to jsut sit and relax in the swing and be able to visit with the kids.



Mason, Kurtis and of course Copper all are enjoying the Easter Picnic. It is nice to see that the kids like Copper. Thin gs are different when we open the gate and turn him loose. That is why you will see him behind the fence on most of the pcitures. Karlie and Austin are the only ones who will play with Coper outside of the pen.
Boy what a haul Ryder was have so much fun with the bags and Kara was being very good ad sharing all of here treats she did not like with others.
April 5, 209 decided to do an early Easter party with the kids. As you can see the Easter Bunny did leave some trats for the grandkids and kids. It is really hard to get all the little ones lined up s next time we will just post more pictures and not say to much.

April 3, 2009 8 pm
Just got home from one of our grandkids gymnastic end of the season performance for the parents and grand parents. It was held in the Mapleton City offices. Conner did really well. I spent a lot of my time tending Paxton but did get to see Conner perform some of his gymnastic abilities. Paxton had a blast with the big donut pushing it from one end of the hall to the other end. As soon as Karen gets me the card from the camera I will poost some pictures. it is a riot to go to see my cute grandkids perform. I wish they were all this close so I could see them everyday. Then again that is what this new fandagled internet blogging does, it helps people stay intouch with each other when they live far away. I am still learning still learning about this blog thing and I am not sure how to do it yet. top picture is of Conner in the big donut and the next one is of Paxton pushing the big donut. The other opictures you can guess who they are.

Everybody is doing this thing called a blog, so I thought why not. Maybe I can get part of my family history written and post some pictures of what I like to do. You guessed it Family pictures, ATV's, Mountains, Deserts, Wild animals and Wild Horse. Not much excitement in my life but I do Have fun.
Here is a couple of pictures of my sweethart and I on a mexican Reviera Cruise in 2007 in Puerta Vallarta showing that we may be afraid of height but we can still get on a zip line 90 feet in the air and have fun doing it.
