Enjoying Some Family Time

Well, January came and went without much to say. Not much goes on in January it seems. No Holidays, no big events, but we did slip in a visit to see Corbin and Bethany in St. George. We really Miss Corbin. He seems to be doing well, and is doing great in school. He is enjoying his English Class the most he says. He got a job working at Jiffy Lube in Washington, and that seems to be going well. He has done some cooking, and he sent me some pictures to insure me that he's eating "well balanced meals". We hope he continues to do well, so we can come visit the SUN....I'm mean our SON! :)


We had fun eating out and doing some bowling with Corbin and Bethany while we were there.

Nice Smile Corbin!

Rick and Channy

I'd just like to point out this may be my best game ever!  Woohoo 96!
Then Rick, Channy, and I enjoyed a hike in Snow Canyon. We did Hidden Pinyon Trail, and 3 Ponds Trail. I just loved how beautiful it was. I really need to hike more.

Channy and Rick on 3 Ponds Trail. Channy got worn out on this trail. It's super sandy, and a lot of hard work. She didn't make it to the end of this trail.

Challis Seems to be doing well also.  He's working hard, playing harder, and going to school at Weber.  He started dating Anna Warren.  Anna conveniently lives across the street from us, so Challis is back at home for the time being. We have gotten to spend a little time with them, and Anna's little girl Lori.  We are taken by Lori's sweet charm, and Challis seems to be smitten by them both. They make a cute pair and we're glad Challis is happy.

 I had a fun visit from my sister Kim yesterday. It was great to see her.  It's been almost 2 years since our last visit. I enjoyed hearing about her adventures around the globe.  It really made me want to go on vacation. It's always interesting to hear how she grew up and the different paths our lives have taken as we are only 7 days apart in age. I don't think we could have gone more opposite directions in life, but I think that makes me enjoy her all the more. I love her energy and adventurous spirit. She has a beautiful smile, twinkling blue eyes, and long skinny legs that I'm envious of. Yes we're quite different, but "sister's from another mother" all the same.  :)

She brought along my nephew Jory, his wife Maika and their daughter Onora. Onora is such a doll with all her crazy cute hair, and she's such a happy little one.  They seem to be wonderful parents. I enjoyed having them over for lunch.  Time just goes too quickly it seems, and I don't get to see everyone enough.
