EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT....

......CHRISTIAN TURNS 6 !!!!

HOPE IT WAS A GOOD ONE!!

HUGS, GRANDMA.

No Labor on Labor Day,

I decided to take a 4 day weekend this past Labor Day weekend.

It was just what I needed.

On Friday I met my sisters for lunch at "Kneaders" in Bountiful.

We had a great lunch and an even better visit.

I love my sisters and I just needed a good dose of them.

On Monday I got up early and headed for Nikki's house.

She planned a hike for us at Sherwood Hills. Much to our dismay, they won't let the public hike there any more with out a fee and since we did not come prepared, we headed for Nik's back-up plan which was to walk/run the trail around the lake at Mantua. It is just 4.1 miles which is exactly the time we had before Nik had to get back to Brooke.

Here are some pictures from our adventure:

The morning breaks over Mantua.

Emma loves horses and here are two in the bushes eating breakfast.

Emma watches the fish jump? The ducks dive? The fisherman?

It was a beautiful calm Labor Day morning...

Thanks Nik and Emma for the memories on a wonderful Labor Day morning.

I was also able to go on a drive with Doug. We had a great time driving up to Kamas and then on to Park City. Doug had been to a cafe up there years ago where the owner had a wall full of bottles of Coke from all over the world. Probably 10 years ago Robin went to Prague, Czech Republic and Doug had her bring him back a bottle of Coke Cola to take up there. We were 10 years too late as the wall of Coke does not exist anymore. I guess we need to get out more. We decided to head to Park City and the Outlet stores where Doug found a new leather coat at Wilson's Leather. Then we headed back to the Valley. We were lucky to be driving the opposite direction of the crowded highways. When we left to go home on I-80 East, the other direction, I-80 West was backed up way past the Heber exit. Everyone was going home. Made me glad I live where I do. It was a relaxing day full of "no Labor". Hope you all had a great holiday as well. Next Holiday off...Thanksgiving. Can you believe it??

I hate to see the summer go....there was so little of it.

Happy Day Aaron...

THIS WEEK WAS AARON'S BIRTHDAY!

I won't tell you how old he is, but it rhymes with GREAT!!

Which is what he is.

He never ages.

Can you guess what year this was taken?

I love that Aaron is such a great dad.

He is always doing fun things with his kids.

But most of all Nikki is his number one fan!

Hope your day was "Super"!

Wilson's Love Aaron!

WHAT A BLESSING.....

BROOKE'S THAT IS.

Brooke was blessed the first Sunday in July by her Dad.

It was a wonderful day with lots of family celebrating

Beautiful baby girl.

The next day we celebrated the 4th of July

Eden style with the only Parade in Town....

Eden Town that is.

Where else can you find a parade where the Fire Department vehicles and the tail end of the parade [our own UHP patrol residence] is longer than the whole parade. Here are a few pics from that parade. The kids love it. They feel like they are big time.

Wolthuis Kids

Farrah's 1st year on a Bike.

Also in July.....

A visitor from the past....

As mentioned before Doug Retired.

This is Jerry who was a fireman with Doug and Kay

years ago at the Eden Fire Station.

He came to visit Doug.

Doug got his Axe from the Union for his years of service.

Last but not least,

the FERRIN REUNION

It was my family's year to be in charge.

We had a "Happy Birthday Lillie" theme.

We even bought her a cake and had balloons.

We gathered pictures from everyone of mother.

I will share some of them in my next post.

It is amazing that we have so many pictures of her.

She was after all born in 1911.
