Equal Time for Tracey

Tracey probably won't like to see this picture posted; but I think it's really cute.
She had been working building a roof to cover the trailer we have at Panguitch Lake, Utah. It was hard work and a beautiful afternoon so she just couldn't resist the temptation to lay down with her dog 'Sammy' under her head and take a short little nap. Don't you love it?
This is a self portrate of the two Panguitch Lake beauties.
Biker Dude Brent and Dudette Tracey.
I'm pretty sure they were in Kauai when this picture was taken. They were probably in a Harley shop they found on the island - if one exists. Brent used to be the top salesman when he worked at the Harley shop in Hurricane, Utah.
I would like to have seen how they got into this tree.
It probably wasn't easy but I'm sure it would have been hilarious to watch.
I love this picture.
Hannah looks a little hairy but it's still cute.
Look again......
It does NOT say Porno Market - it says:
"I got my marriage license at Pono Market.
It was a little market where they sold marriage licenses.
I found it very unusual.
And here they are after the wedding ceremony.
Good looking couple aren't they.
This was the luggage Tracey took when she was married in Kauai.
No, not really, just half was hers; okay, I'm not really sure how much of it was hers but it all belonged to her, Brent and the tree kids. They even had to laugh about it when they saw it loaded up on the carrier when it was time to come home.
There you go now. Those of you who don't know Tracey and Keeley have a little better insight. You'll recognize them a little more readily when you see them anyway.

Keeley Up Close and Personal

I heard from a very reliable source that I needed to post more pictures of Keeley. Apparently she has quite a fan. So....... in order to keep this particular fan happy I will dedicate this posting of 'Keeley Up Close and Personal' to her.

One Fun Day

These two girls know how to have fun; but don't forget there is someone else behind the camera that adds to the mischief and charades that's created when they're together - that of course would be Tracey. This picture was taken while the three girls spent a day together on the beach in Kauai.

What Lurks Under

Let me point out the three heads bobbing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The one on the right is Keeley, the one on the left is Tracey and the one in the middle is Hannah.
They had just slid down the slide of the catamaran we were on and were ready to begin snorkeling. If I remember correctly, Hannah began to be a little concerned about being out in the ocean and possibly being the next meal of a BIG fish that may be swimming underneath them. Not even the excitement of being with Keeley and Tracey could keep her in that water.

OH, THOSE HAWAIIAN DANCERS!

The girls HAD to have their pictures taken with these two guys. The guy on the right was the "Fire Dancer" and he was great. He had some great moves, a great smile, a great body - but he was so short!

Daddy/Daughters

Okay, look how tan Keeley is! I think we all spent the same amount of time outside as she did but she doesn't even look like she belongs to the same family. By the time our week was up in Hawaii she looked like one of the island people herself.

Last Day on the Island

"Oh dear, I've got this beautiful tan and now it's time to go back to Idaho." A few more hours and it will be time to leave paradise. What could possibly make us feel better??? Oh yeah, FOOD! That's why we all met here and had a great meal before we all boarded the plane and headed home.
It's time to go now.
Aloha, Goodbye,
however you want to say it
it means the same. I hope
you enjoyed the pictures
fan of Keeley ;0)

She Shines

This little prize is Katelyn.
She will turn 7 on October 23 and that smile always melts my heart. She's the gymnast. She was trying to teach Hannah to do a hand stand the last time she was here; it was then that Hannah came to appreciate the strength it takes to do the things Katelyn does.
It's always a party when Kayley, Katelyn and Hannah get together - at least until it's time to go to bed.

My Favorite 8 Year Old

This is Kayley. She turned eight on May 26th. She is our first grandchild and we think she's cute as a button. She's a member of a cheer group that has been very successful when they go to competition. She loves to come to 'Hannah's' house to play and spend the night. The grand kids never say they want to come go Grandma's - it's always Hannah's house.

The Birthday Boy

Now that Bryce has a son, he couldn't wait to get him on a motorcycle! So guess what this guy got for his 3rd birthday? Yep, that's a REAL motorcycle! It has training wheels that can be put on it until he learns how to ride but he and his dad will be going out to the track together now.
Does this little guy look happy???
Does grandma feel nervous about this???? YES!!!

My Daughter-In-Law, Sabrina, Bryce and their son Cameron

I have to introduce Sabrina. She has been a member of our family for 8 years now and we love her dearly. She has had three beautiful babies - I'm not just being biased - and she still looks like an 18 year old with the perfect slender body....I love her in spite of it though. She works full time as an assistant manager at a local bank but she still finds time to get her children involved in gymnastics, cheer and swimming. I don't ever remember having that much energy when I had three young children at home.

This was an extremely exciting day for everyone. Cara had just returned from Alaska where she served a mission for 18 months.
