families share Eden


  Most of us have tried to stay home and safe during the  pandemic. As soon as Michigan opened we planned a Local trip for Val and family to travel to. We couldnt wait to get together and share family time. Jason and Derek found this spot up in Northern Utah near Huntsville called Eden. Many family members had to continue working and many had to give up activities that were just starting up.

 Mariah had to come on crutches as we awaited to get the results of her MRI.

 We are so glad that we got to visit with a lot of the family most of the time. Here we are sharing cooking time together
Always time for siblings to share fun memories
HOME MADE ice cream anyone

The runners got up very early to do a trail run  between 6  AND 10 miles

honoring Fathers

The latest invention, a dolly to wheel the new kayak up onto the truck! Hopefully he can market this!When we took it to the lake someone commented on it!
We made it to Deer Creek for our first kayaking trip.We look forward to many more trips.-- less work and more play!

In the mean time, it is cherry picking time and we need to beat the birds before they get them all.


Our  victory garden is a winner this year! Jim started in April and hear you can see pea, broccoli , cabbage and cauliflower all ready to pick. We also have a never ending supply of onions and kale. Jim worked hard to get this started and this has been one of our best gardens yet! We love picking out our healthy meal each day!.

Here are "my three dads"  Jaron, Tanner and Jim working hard on the lanscaping of Jarons back and side yard. Tanner is the father of Auggie, our first great grand son.

Yes, I did help yesterday with the landscaping but the best fun was playing with Auggie.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!. lets find the good and love throughout the world!
