Rachael's life in a few minutes

2009-07-04T21:44:00.004-07:00

I have decided to not waste the pictures Rachael sent to us a few days ago. I have scanned her pictures into the computer and have created a short montage (it doesn't level the sophistication of Darci and Brandon's creation -- but it gives a quick view of Rachael's life.

Tiffany's Graduation

2009-07-02T23:15:00.004-07:00

Congratulations go out to Tiffany with her graduation from Brigham Young University. It has been a long haul and she has spent a lot of hours in front of a computer in order to complete her degree on-line after they left Provo. Here she is with her two sisters - Rachael and Angie.

The family went to Utah to celebrate Tiffany's graduation. While there, Rachael and Eric took us to a local ice skating rink -- here is a shot of Mike, Erin and Chelsea.

Rachael and Angie in Salt Lake City for Thanksgiving. Had a wonderful time.

Here are a few more pictures of our fun times this summer. We certainly had a fun time at the reunion and really happy that we were able to get Mike and Erin acquainted with our side of the family. We were so proud to bring our granddaughters and to show off our NC daughter as well. Hopefully next time we will be able to get all the clan there.

The Happiest Place on Earth

2008-02-08T18:12:00.000-07:00

January fun and games -- This past month we went to Disneyland with Joe, Jill and Cody (and 45 of our newest closest friends -- Joe's ob/gyn office). Joe had some extra park hopper tickets, an extra hotel room and space on the bus he rented -- so we got to 'tag-along'. I hadn't been to Disneyland since our kids were little -- and I had a blast. Here we are at the Disney Town Square -- can't you tell we are having a wonderful time?

Here I am with some of the kids (and of course a pirate). As you can tell == everyone is having a fun time!!

Can you tell who is having the best time? Oh, by the way can you recognize who is the cartoon character?

This is my favorite (and most scary ride) at California's Adventureland. It pulled about 2-3 G's on the way up and the weightless drop felt like it lasted forever. Oh, by the way, the shields were to keep us from spitting (or hurling) on the other people enjoying the happiest place on earth. Do you recognize the third person on the ride with us?

It was wonderful going to Disneyland again -- we lasted through the parade (at least on one night), saw the fireworks from our hotel window and didn't have to worry about driving.

Happy New Year!!!!!

2008-01-11T16:28:00.001-07:00

We had a great New Year. Kris and I went to and hiked Peralta. Kris made little picnic. This is the view from our picnic.
Hope everyone the best year ever!!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Utah. Sorry Bette this is the only picture of mom and dad.

Rachael busy reading something interesting?

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T17:29:00.000-07:00

What a nice surprise this was from Angie. She made a book of our trip to South Korea. She even had the names of the places right. Good thing she knew where we were in South Korea.
Here is the nice slippers Rachael got me for Christmas they are striped and we all know I love stripes. She got dad some niking pants and I got hiking poles so we will out hiking if you can not find us.
Dad is wearing the apron Tiffany and the girls made for him. Mine is not one but it is cuter than his. We love the aprons espcially the handprints. The picture is a family picture for Dad's office that Mike and Erin got for dad's office. His office needs lots of love and attention so that is really great.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for all your love and gifts. We love you all. Mom and Dad

I had a great birthday!!!!!

2007-12-21T21:52:00.000-07:00

Cody, Janis 'Jill's mom, I celebrated our birthdays at Jill's house and we had a great time. Thanks everyone for calling home and wishing me a happy birthday and thanks for your wonderful thoughtful gifts. I love you all and wish every single one of you were home this Christmas. Maybe next year. But we are very happy to have Mike and Erin to help us with the Christmas spirit and very grateful that they live so close to us.

Fun in Las Vegas

2007-12-16T22:00:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a while since we added pictures to the blog. Here is your dad in Las Vegas getting his award from Devry. They really treated him very nice and we stayed a very nice resort at Lake Las Vegas. We would love to go back there some day. While we were there we were able to visit with Barbara and her family. Madison is really cute and Stacy looked really good and the Hinckley family is very proud of their new addition.

Fall with Family

2007-11-25T19:13:00.000-07:00

This past week we had some family around for the Thanksgiving holiday. Rachael and Eric visited and we had some fun times visiting with them. I'm afraid we stressed Eric out a bit when he was assigned the 'major' task of preparing the mashed potatoes for the Thanksgiving Banquet--- however, he and Rachael came through with flying colors -- they were great.

We did a bit of hiking with Rach and Eric -- Here are a couple of shots from Peralta Trail in the Superstition Mountains. This first shot is taken from the top of Peralta Trail looking north to Weaver's Needle -- unfortunately we never found the Lost Dutchman's Mine on this trip.

The second shot is below the top looking south towards Tucson. This is the first time that Kris was in good enough shape to make it to the top. Of course, I did my usual sterling job -- just a few knee problems on the way down from the top.

Later during the week we celebrated Mike's birthday since Kris and I are going to Las Vegas next weekend and will miss his birthday. Mike is getting to be an old man and almost set off the smoke alarm when he had to blow out so many candles.

However, regardless of his physical age -- he is still a kid at heart and enjoyed playing with his new toy (it is a remote control helicopter that you can see in the foreground)

Fall in South Korea

2007-11-24T22:39:00.001-07:00

Well, here we go for a first posting. We spent 10 days in South Korea with Angie. She is such a superb hostess and tour guide. We never had a boring moment and loved everything we saw and did. Here is a short (only 100+ pictures) of our experience -- Angie has a lot of pictures, from her perspective.

Hopefully you can enjoy these pictures without any greater explanation
Angie in her 'living room' - note the absence of furniture -- we did a lot of sitting and laying on the floor while in Korea.

Angie and Carol in front of 'totems' at a historical, cultural village in Asan City (Angie's town where she works).

Angie and Kris at the Asan Village center -- don't they look like they are enjoying themselves!

Angie and Kris at the top of the mountain in Sarokasan (actually we rode a cable car part of the way up and hiked the rest)

Angie and Carol in front of a memorial to some dead admiral in Asan City.

Angie and Carol in front of the beginning of the City Stream in downtown Seoul -- an extremely large and modern city.

Here we are in front of the Seoul LDS Temple -- it was very beautiful and was quite a walk up a steep hill.

Kris doing his 'GQ' pose in Yosu at the southern tip of South Korea. Angie has us traveling from the most northern point (in South Korea near the demilitarized zone) to the most southern point at Yosu.
