A face from the past
He looks the same, just wearing a brown uniform instead of a red one. It was fun to run into Lyle Clayton at Garr Ranch on Antelope Island. We went for the Stampede and enjoyed that...and a whole lot more.

Best of...Worst of (Weeks 1 & 2)
Anyone who has traveled with my mom knows of this tradition. She religiously keeps a daily log of events and at the end of each day asks for the best of the day and the worst of the day.
Don't worry. I will just do the best if each week...
Week one (8/11-8/18)
Tanner:
Best- warm water at Bear Lake
Worst- going to Bear Lake for only one day and not owning a boat or jet ski.
Rachelle:
Best- enjoying everyday activities through the eyes of Lucy and Yi (I could not believe the pure joy they had on their faces when they walked into the baseball game!!)
Worst-???
Mason:
Best-Bear Lake, also, learning how to do a round-off-back-handspring.
Worst-landing on my butt while doing round-off-back-handsprings!!
Joe:
Worst-smoke from forest fires, you couldn't even see the mountains on the other side of bear lake, and the lake didn't look blue
Best: verbal job offer from Val Pak! enjoying a honeymoon period with Lucy and Yi (sharing so many activities with our new family)
Week Two (8/19-8/25)
Tanner:
Best-my football game and Lucy's fried rice
Worst-when Mason ran away and scared my half to death
Mason:
Best- getting to play with Lincoln Ferrin
Worst-not getting to play with Lincoln Ferrin for very long
Rachelle:
Best-Joe's gourmet BBQ hamburger on Saturday evening with Lester's, Lucy, and Yi (the carrot cake and baked beans weren't too shabby either), learning about Diane's new job in Hawaii, good first day of class at the U
Worst-Mason dissappearing after Saturday's BBQ and all that followed
Joe:
Best-Tanner's team winning their first scrimmage and Tanner being named to starting tight-end, Mason doing a roundoff back handsprings (4 in a row) Worst-Yi leaving :-(

4th Sunday 1/18
I can't figure out how to post pictures online (I think it may be related to an old laptop) but maybe I can do it with my phone.
We had our first, of maybe 18, 4th Sunday dinners without Mom and Dad. Dit, as always, was a "hostess-extrordinaire". We had yummy pasta, salad, and bread with cookies and brownies for dessert. The kids were happy to see each other and the adults enjoyed visiting. That said, I didn't even get through the blessing on the food without crying.
I know that my mom and dad are doing the right thing, setting the right example, and sharing the right message.
Despite that, somehow, tonight didnt seem quite right :(
