Same Pictures.... Different Year

I don't know if we are just predictable or the same things are just fun year after year after year. These are pictures of our recent trip to Powell with those that could be with us. Actually we went with Amy, Peter and their family. I have always said that there are lots of reason to love Powell. Playing in the sand is one of them. It got to be quite the project before we floated off Leaving it to some other guest of the day.

This is how Grandpa rides the Water Weenie.

Always the hit of the trip.

I have to say that I still have it.

Can't get Max to go down the slide on the houseboat.

Give him something else and he is on it.

Only one bloody nose out of this one.

Can't go to Powell without a trip to the swimming

rock.

Hang on!!

Amy crashed on the Wakeboard once and them

came up with......Now I know why Jordan wears a

helmet.

Mother of Four and still do the same tricks.

Don't have to loose your heads at Powell...Just

pretend.

Aint's she cute.....huh Jordan!

Summer Concert

Last night at the Peace Gardens Conover played with his Grandpa Smith. They were the enitre attraction for the evening. Lots of people were there with their lawn chairs and had a great time. Can't hardly believe all that is going on in Conovers life. Gone from a little kid to a Young Man in such a hurry. We love being where we can enjoy him. I took a couple of MPEGs and thought I would post them for those who could not see and hear the event.

Happy Birthday Dad

Came to work today and realized that it was Dads (Grandpa, etc) birthday. I couldn't help reflecting on the Store and how it started 61 years ago. We don't know about the veil and what it offers......but it is fun to speculate. I wonder if he is looking down. It has gone from what he developed.... to children.....on its way to Grandchildren and now...... a great grandchild working with us for the summer. How coooollll is that!!

Student Body President

CONGRATULATIONS.......CONOVER..... NEW STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT OF HELPER JR HIGH NEXT YEAR

Nothing Less than Amazing !!!

Mom and I learned when Amy was at a very young age. That the word "No" or You Can't" were not a part of Her vocabulary. It also seemed like her first words were "Do it Self". I remember like it was yesterday when Amy came in the house after receiving her Two wheel Bicycle. She said that she wanted the training wheels off. We told her No.... We did not want to be taking them off and then putting them back on again over and over. I'm still not sure where she found the tools, but it wasn't long after that she had removed them by herself. They never did go back on because she learned to ride without them just as she had set out to do. About three years ago she announced to us that she had applied and been accepted to the Master Program at the University of Utah. It hadn't been that long since Peter had finished the program and received his Masters. Not unlike Amy most of the time. She proceeded to apply herself in school.......then they decided to build a house.....I mean BUILD A HOUSE...then they decided to add to their family and along came Breeana. Most people would feel that to be a plate full. We are sooooo proud of Amy. She can do anything.

Love the New Ride !!!

I wasn't looking for a new bike but have said for a couple of

years that ....If they ever made a bike that has... and ... and...

I will buy it. I like and kept the other bike but.....Love this one

Accident Insurance?

A little over a week ago ....Grandma was called to

help Breanna....She fell on the Monkey bars.....

No....Not the arm......The teeth.....She knocked out

both front teeth. Yesterday she was spinning like a

dancer........Broke the upper part of her arm. She came

in to see Grandpa and I couldn't help Laugh and decided

that this picture needed to be on the Blog. Amylia just

got her cast off for the third time on the same arm.
