Little People Fun and Senior Power

Grandma's Preschool Fun has begun....and we
do have a good time together.


Visiting the Rodeo grounds all decked out for the
the event.

Even the cowboy saddle seats at McDonalds added to the fun

Though nothing was happening out on the
rodeo grounds we had a good time checking it out

My cowboys and cowgirls....

Addie was all cowgirl! We had a lot of fun
visiting the cows and horses and pretending for
just a bit that the old west was back again.

SENIOR POWER....

Lake Powell has got to be the best place ever
to relax and have fun. Who wouldn't enjoy it with
a place to hang out like this!

Captain Losee...notice the whiskers...he did a great job
making sure everyone had fun on the water.


The Missionary crew...minus me taking the picture
and
One last view of the majestic scenery.


NUMBER 20

It was back to the DC area to spend some time
with the families and welcome
a new blessing in the family...Eisley Ann Carr
Born September 1, 2010....it was so much fun being
there and spending time with the Well's and Carr's
families.

Welcome little Eisley Ann

Finishing up the Summer Fun FHE 8.9.10

Yes...it does rain in Dixie...once in a while and we have to take advantage of it. Addie and Kimber had a great time playing in the summer rain.



We had a great family home evening with all of the St. George Losee's at the Johnson home. With swimming and eating and ice cream...all had a great time and it was so much fun to hang out with each other for a while.

"St. George Live"
June 10, 2010
It was a summer field trip to see our own home town with a bit of the old time flavor.
We met at the Art Center and Jacob Hamblin and then visited special places all around

At our first stop met Orson Pratt and heard his story in St. George
Hayden even helped him with a little drama about the gunshot that left a hole in the ceiling

We then loaded on the bus and headed downtown.

At the Tabernacle we met Erastus Snow.

Our next stop was the old court house where Judge Macfarlane put Hayden up front again and on trial!!!

All stand for the Judge!

After the trial we headed to the Brigham Young home and met the Prophet himself....a bit thinner that I thought.

After the tour we walked down to Grandma and Grandpa Barton's home and she shared parts of her life story with us and let the kids ask question. It was fun to hear about her life and some of Grandpa's. We ate homemade bread and butter while she talked and then she shared popcycles with us.

We also walked around the corner and took a look at G-Great Grandpa and Grandma Barton's home....a totally different looking home that when they lived there but the owner invited us in to see the changes.

Next door to their home is the first home that Karen lived in...also remodeled...but I don't remember it anyway!

Thanks Everyone for a great day!

A Summer Day at Silver Reef
July 15, 2010
Part of our family summer fun is learning about the places around our own home. We all traveled out to old Silver Reef and explore the old buildings and history. The Wells Fargo Express office is now a visitors center/gift shop and full of fun relics from the past.


The docents loved tellings us about the old days and showing us the fun features. They were also very watchful of our many little folks...I would have loved to have had a picture of Tanner, when he very slyly climbed onto the old saddle stool...but the good lady had him off before I could take one.

While we waited for the Condie Family to catch up with us Allie and Addie checked on the old mining cars outside. McKay is standing in front of the memorial that honored the Catholic Church and their church that once stood on that site. Meanwhile the other kids checked out the City diorama and gift shop. We left with a handful of rocks (25cents a piece) and some fun puppets.

A great group of adventurers.

Our next stop was at the Santa Clara City Hall where there is a statue of Sarah Leavitt who was one of the family ancestors. Do we look a little bit worn out??? The temperatures were only around 110!

To beat the heat we finished up back home with root beer floats!
