Home is the greatest place on earth.

These are the things I see looking

out, mostly, my rear window.

Utah is a great and beautiful place

Sunsets are magnificant

Snow is so pretty.

But, the real joy and beauty at home

is not what I see out my windows,

but, what I feel inside being with

family and friends.

Home is and should be a temple.

Sun and fun in the back yard on cement!



It is amazing what parents will do to entertain their children

Tessa and her parents live with me. It is neat every morning and every night she comes in my room to give me a kiss. I had the opportunity to participate in her blessing at church. When Chris first brought her up to the front of the chapel she was somewhat fussy and ready to show her disapproval. But, to my amazement, when we in the circle took her in our hands she clammed down to a place I don't see her except in her sleep. Her little spirit spoke to me and I will never forget that moment.
I love my grand children so much. They are the light in an old man's life that has been through some trials.

My boys and weights

First, jump rope, he can speed jump which
is great for a young man

Next real good push ups



Pull ups, which most of us could not do



You can tell from his face it isn't hard for him at all!

Next deep dips which are also very hard


Fore arm weight roll

My little boy is pushing some real weight

But more important to him, he is the kids friend

4 plates, 405 pounds
Should have been an offensive lineman

Zions is pretty, but, family is better
There was a lot of water in the river. Porter was the only one
getting real close. Carter didn't want to jump in the river
if someone fell in.


Cooper's favorite thing is to pick up sticks
If you don't believe that, look at the back of Grandpa's truck

Hutch loved to climb trees and is not a ham!

This is a picture from the pool. The hotel is called the Majestic
View Lodge. Not sure why they call it that?

The boys loved the pool, play, jump and swim

Porter, Mr. Graceful

Cooper, Mr. Stud

These three boys love each other

The family picture. Hard to get them all to
pose at same time.

Of course, getting them to pose isn't always that hard.

The reason we went to Zions was for Tammi's run
in the 10K. She did great! Didn't get a good picture
of why Carter went, sleeping.

Zions is great, but the best is being with anyone in my
family and enjoying time together. This old man
lives for that.
