Here is a slideshow of the rest of the photos from our scout backpacking hike.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to my Family and Friends. Please watch this video as you celebrate your Easter - remember what our Savior truly did for us all.

Backpack campout

Nathan and I went on a backpack campout this Friday/Saturday. It was our first time actually backpacking everything in and camping. I really missed my cot, but wasn't going to carry that in - the hard ground was not my friend that night.

Here we are at the beginning - all warm and sunny

Making sure every last boy is up before I make the move

Starting to get up into the higher levels

This is what we woke up to...snow!!!

Luckily we were prepared and had plenty of warm gear for the hike back

Me contemplating on what the heck an old guy like me is doing out here~! lol

Finally - it's over - and yes, it really was fun.

Scout Food Drive

We had a boy scout food drive last month and I just wanted to post some of the pictures from it with Nathan and CJ. They were the only 2 scouts going around with me to pick up and deliver the items to our dixie care and share.





These boys really had fun taking the time out of their lives to collect this food for the needy and deliver it. They are learning the value of service to others and I am pretty proud of these two!

Sweet Treasure!

This was actually back on January 31st. It is the family back together for the first time in ages. I was the only one missing from the picture before - but now we are together. I treasure this picture like none other because I really love and miss my family -- more than I ever thought I had.

It was a wonderful time being with them. At first it was hard to believe that I was actually with my Mom and Dad and my sisters - but the more I was with them it felt so warm. I am only sorry that it was only for 3 days - I could had spent a LOT longer with them.

My Sisters just loved me to death - hey, can you blame them? lol - just kidding - but this was one of the most fun pictures I have ever taken - I really do love and miss those two. It was great to be with Kristen again, I hadn't seen her since age 16 or 17 - and it's been about 8 years since seeing Vicki - I sure hope we can get together again soon.

As the Church Ads often say, "Family - isn't it about - Time?"
