Young Women's Camp

Shelly spent a week with the young women of our ward at "Big Meadow" in the High Sierra's. She loved the week and grew close to the young women. There were many wonderful experiences that they shared. On Friday night I joined the group for a Fast and Testimony meeting. It is a beautiful place to visit and it has a special spirit about it.

Mt. Whitney

I had the opportunity to hike with the young men of my ward to the top of Mt. Whitney. Mt. Whitney is the highest peak in the lower 48 states, at 14,464 feet. We hiked for 7 days and covered 69 miles. It was a great experience for all of us. I was impressed with the young men. We held our Sunday Meeting in the wilderness and it was a amazing to feel the spirit there. I made it to the top, but I am pretty tired!!!!

Dad's Funeral

We lost our Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather on July 1, 2010. He was 87 years old and poor health. The family gathered in Richfield for the funeral. It was good to see the whole family, although it was a sad occasion that brought us together. He was a good, honest and hardworking man.

My other cool Maui Pictures

Maui

We spent a week relaxing and enjoying ourselves. It is always good to get away from the stresses in our lives. We ate, read, sat by the pool and not much else. The Fairmont Hotel was amazing; I put up a a picture of us in the lobby and one of the hotel grounds. Every mourning we walked along a path that followed the beach; a couple of pictures are of the views from this path. The food we ate was amazing, many very good dishes to try. Wish we where still there!!!!

Richfield Mother's Day

It was the first time in four years that all the brothers were together. It was great to see each other. Mom and Dad were delighted to have us all there. Cynda tagged along and it was fun to have her with us.

Nate's Dental School Graduation

Nate Graduated from The UNLV School of Dental Medicine in May. We are very proud of him and for this accomplishment. He spoke at the UNLV commencement held at the Thomas and Mack arena, as always he gave a thoughtful and inspiring address. We appreciate and love Stacie for her long standing support of Nate's education. They are now off to Kentucky for more school. We were so happy that Erin, Warren and Cynda all came to Las Vegas for the Graduation (not to mention that all were there for Shelly to celebrate Mother's day with her kids).
