Vacation 2011

Our trip to Iowa/Minnesota...

Getting to the cabin

 Nice Cabin

 Headed to the camp fire by the lake

 Smores time...

 We did a skit for the branch families...  Corrina did all the cute visuals!

 Boat trip showing all the scout sites from the lake

 The lodge had games we could take to the cabin and play...

 Lodge games - Reddeck

 Lodge games - Enoch

 Megan (staff member) and one of her neat drawings... This one she gave to me!  Cute positive gal that ran the gift shop.  She works each summer at different scout camps.  Has a great positive attitude.

 Sue was a neat lady in their branch.  She's 70 years old, lives alone, works 3 jobs, is the only member of the church in her family.  She takes visitors (of the branch) out to dinner at the local pizza place.  Such a neat lady!!  We enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her.

Fun with the Family

My time this week!

I worked on an emergency prep order - Note the boxes in the background -

They are cases of garden seeds that ward members will be picking up.

Also I played with Bruno

Visited my friend Angie for her Birthday!

Played with Bruno

Had Pack meeting with my cubs - they did a skit!

Our newest cub Logan - His enthusiasm is fun.

He has a scout shirt of his Dad's that he looks at and he

wants to earn everything his Dad earned!  Cute...

Chased Bruno around.... and around...

Went to the family history center and worked on

Family history... Found some census' with Great Grandma

and other relatives on them,

Fun!

Played with Bruno

Went to visit Gyla to see how she is doing.

Got some shampoo for the pup...

Gave Bruno a bath,

and of course -- played with Bruno!

Dad and I watched a couple movies.

But I took Bruno home tonight -

Now what will I do??

Birthday Fun! Conference blessings!

Conference weekend - wonderful as always!

Happy Birthday Sheldon!

Great dinner with Family. April 3rd.

A couple conference thoughts --

Sometimes God cuts us down so that we can grow.

Nothing so motivating for Temple going than a story that talks about someone who had to save for years then take a journey of more than a week to get to a temple...  Even with the Ogden temple now closed for a couple of years, I still have one just as close!   Bountiful Temple - here I come!

The Sun rises even on a cloudy day!  If we seek it - inspiration comes - even if we don't realize it.

Love you my FAMILY!!
