I have started collecting pictures of our ancestors to display on a wall, and I am a little obsessed with it.  I love old pictures and especially when I know they are related to me. Here is a sampling.  I'm still working on getting every side represented. Not an easy task.

    Very cool pictures! It's neat to see how people lived. I really liked the pics from the 1920's. I think we take it for granted how easy it is to take a picture, download it to the computer & blog it. I am sure it was difficult and expensive to get pictures taken in the olden days with actual "film" pictures. Thanks for sharing your family pictures!

Goodbye 2019

Image
In September we had our high school friend Bo Ross and his wife Jodi come and stay with us for a few days.  They're so down to earth and easy to talk to.  When Brandon and Mike get together they go back into their fun joking bantering mode.  I love seeing Mike let loose a little.  We laughed and talked and ate and to top it all off enjoyed an amazing night of John Mayer together. For Fall Break we rented a beach house in Newport.  The older girls flew in from Provo and we drove with Sydney & Jackson and his friend Devin.  We loved chilling at the beach, listened to some general conference and enjoyed the air show they were putting on right above us.  Jackson and Devin kind of had their own vacation with their friends who were staying down there too so I didn't catch a pic of them. Half of Gilbert comes to Newport for Fall Break so Sydney was in heaven too having her friends there. Jackson accomplished a goal h...

New Year's Eve 2021--Flagstaff

Image
We spent New Year's Eve in Flagstaff with all of the kids and Jonny and Jo. We had a great time playing games, laughing, eating amazing food thanks to Jonny and Paige, and skiing. Everyone got along great and we felt so blessed to have those precious moments all together. The snow was so beautiful and it felt like we were in a dream world. The cold was fun for a few days, but I'm always glad to be back in warmer weather. The only downside to the trip was Jackson got really sick with Covid, and so that was a coincidental repeat from our ski trip last year to Flagstaff when Jackson gave covid to all of us. Luckily Mike, Sydney and I didn't get sick, but the other kids all tested positive. Looking forward to 2022 I told the kids that my word of intention is BELONG! I don't ever want a member of our family to feel like they have to fit in in order to belong. Our family is very diverse and I want each of them to know they can be who they are and still belong to our...

July thru Dec. 2021--Berkeley to Christmas

Image
July thru Dec. 2021 We helped Paige move her stuff into her new little apartment in Oakland.  She is officially all grown up!!  We loved walking around the campus and seeing the historic architecture and grounds. Her studio apartment is small, but cozy.   Michael, Jackson and Hugh went on the fishing trip of a lifetime to the Sawtooth Mountains.  They went in on horseback and had guides that helped them cook, fish and camp.  I was so happy to see Michael fulfill this dream with his dad and son!   McKell spent the month of August at a beach house with her friend Kate.  They loved it! Mike and I celebrated our 30 year (actually 31 because of Covid) high school reunion in Utah. We had a good time catching up with some of our old friends and classmates.  Jackson went to work in Idaho at the end of the summer.  He found this stray dog (whom he named Nala) in AZ the day before he left.  She was running around in a thunderstorm.  He p...
