Monterey

We went to Monterey so that I could attend some education classes. It was a good conference and Shelly had fun hanging out and doing the spa treatment. The weather was a little chilly, but we still enjoyed the surroundings. The birds by the fisherman were amazing, they were huge in size and got so close to him.

The OC

We visited Erin and Warren this weekend. It was a lot of fun. Watched a musical "South Pacfic", Shelly sang along. We ate way too much food. Rode our bikes along the beach. Erin rode her new "beach cruiser" and the rest of us rode on Warren's other bikes. Check out Erin's blog. Thanks Erin and Warren!!

Shelly East Coast

Shelly went to visit Cynda in Connecticut and had a great time. They went to a "Time Out for Women" in Hartford. It was a lot of fun to hang out with Cynda for a few days. Thanks Ben and Cynda for letting her come. Next it was onto Kentucky to see Nate and family. Shelly loved being a grandma for 5 days. She enjoyed every minute of it and can't stop talking about her trip. Thanks Nate and Stacie!!!!

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.
