Making Grandma Ila Smile

We had a sad but sweet time in Bakersfield saying

our last goodbyes to Grandma Ila.

Amidst the sadness of our loss,

our grandchildren decided to cheer us up a little............

I'm sure that Grandma Ila was smiling too. Watching

her grandchildren was one of her favorite things to do.

Spring Break 2008 at Kanab

We had a great time at Kanab. Lance and Julie Jackson finished their new home and invited us all down to visit. Brad and Lynn Christofferson, Tony and Becky Harris and their families and Dad, Kati, Sarah and I all made the trip. We all took 4-wheelers and the Jackson's took us out on the desert to see some historical and magnificent sights! We had 12 wheelers in all, so there was a lot of dust and a lot of fun. [You should have seen Kati and Dad buzzing around on the little ones!] We visited such places as the Springdale "Mail Drop", a Zion's overlook, the "Inchworm Arch",an Anazai village-complete with pottery and arrowhead chips, [of which we did not pick up!], ancient Indian writing and petrified dinosaur tracks. Lance has decided to start up a new business called Anazai ATV Adventures. We were his "test" subjects. [We may even appear on his website with testimonials] It was a lot of fun!
