40th Class Reunion

The Class of 1968 held their 40th Year Class Reunion at Malad High School on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008. It was so great so see everyone after so many years. We had a great time. Thanks to Jan and the committee for getting us all together. Sorry, I didn't get many pictures but hopefully Jan will be sending us some more.

Power House Trip #2

We had another fun trip to Power House. Brian and Kristynn rode the four wheelers and horses. Doug, Breanna and I went for a trail ride. Angie and Doug cooked fantastic dutch oven dinners. Angie's family went swimming at Downata Hot Springs. Kim and Aaron came up for a few hours and left Ciaran to have fun in the water with his cousins and grandmother. He also enjoyed the fire too much. We also played pounce and speed scrabble. It was so fun. Jay and Jessica got sick so they were unable to come. It is great having a spot of our own that we can go to anytime. It is beautiful and peaceful and fun. I really feel dad there and appreciate all he did to make it a fun spot for the family. I still wish the whole family would go up once in a while. We need some bonding time.

High School Dinner

Went to dinner with some high school girlfriends - some I haven't seen for over 30 years. We had a great time revisiting high school days and being updated on several classmates. We also talked about where we are now and what we are doing. Attending the dinner were Jenine Jones, Jan Moon, Janet Corbridge, Jill Bollingbrook, Sandra Archibald and Anita Kearns. It will be our 40 year reunion this year. Where did the time go. Thanks Jan for getting us together and for organizing the class reunion this fall.

Florida Trip July 19 - 25 2008

The condo was awesome. It was new and so nice. I had a king bed all to myself. The surroundings were so beautiful. Friday we went to Downtown Disney for some last minute shopping and then on to the airport for me. Dianne and Lindsay flew home on Saturday. It was a wonderful trip. Thank you Dianne and Lindsay for inviting me. I had such a great time.

The Everglades

On Thursday we went to the Everglades. This was a beautiful and interesting place. We saw crocodiles in the wild, eagles, exotic birds, mangrove trees, and miles and miles of grasslands growing out of water. We got the the very tip of Florida where we saw the Gulf of Mexico.

Hollywood

Wednesday we spent a fun day at another amusement park called Hollywood. There were lots of fun rides and entertainment. It rained every afternoon and everyone just put on their ponchos and kept right on going. I have never seen it rain so hard. I guess that is why Florida is so green.

Kennedy Space Center

Tuesday we went to Kennedy Space Center. This was the most amazing place. We learned so much about the shuttle and about landing on the moon. The spaceship to the moon was HUGE. It was all so interesting. That night we ate at the wharf on Cocoa Beach and waded in the ocean. Great Day!!

Epcot

On Tuesday we spent the day at Epcot. It was very fun and interesting.

Orlando Florida Temple

I traveled to Florida and met Dianne and Lindsey on Saturday night. On Sunday we attended church and then visited the Orlando Temple.

California Trip

We traveled to California to attend the funeral of Rick Poole, Kiley's brother. The services were very inspiring and we learned a lot about Rick and the wonderful life he lived. It was a very sad day.
The next day, Saturday, we went to the Newport Beach Temple with our family and Kiley's family. It was a sacred experience to be in this beautiful place. After the temple we went to Huntington Beach and ate and enjoyed the ocean setting.
We spent a few days at Arch and Kiley's. Mom made scones and we all ate until we were sick. We played games and went shopping and enjoyed family time together. Mom, Trudy and Cris traveled back home to Utah on Tuesday.

Angel Moroni on Draper Temple

We Saw An Angel

We had the awesome privilege of watching the Angel Moroni fly to the top of the Draper Temple. We got the tip from a little bird in a hard hat that the event was taking place. These pictures should be priceless someday especially if some of the kids actually get married in this temple.
